Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Drivers that stop in the middle of the road for a chat with their mate on the pavement, or even worse a car in the opposite lane. Seriously if you want to talk, pull over and talk, or call them when you stop, don't block a road in rush hour when people are trying to use it for it's intended purpose. A quick passing on of information followed by an apology to the drivers you held up is one thing, but five minutes just for a chat is just being pig ignorant to everyone behind you.

Email being spoofed, not hacked, spoofed.
Apologies to anyone who got something from me relating to Birmingham dentistry, which linked to a phishing site

Gripe of the day - What is yours?
T*ssers in cars
On Monday night I had two twits behind me spinning up their tyres at the lights (didn't know Renault Clios were RWD?!?) then passed me doing over a ton in a 40 and barely got round the corners due to the sliding. Then tonight an old boy trying to ram (yes, really, and deliberately) another car at 80mph because the other car wanted to change lanes on the motorway. The old boy was within about half an inch of causing a huge smash that probably would have wiped out upwards of a dozen cars. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Back in the hospital again and not doing the best, more problems with the heart, blood clots and now have had part of my colon removed. May need another operation, should find out more in the morning.
Amazing how you can go for decades without going to the doctor for being sick and then suddenly totally go to ****e. The on demand morphine button is some conciliation though.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
DVLA last chance to tax my bike, why have I not done it or sorned it.
First I know of it being due. FFS my mail is going astray. At least with the disc I would have know it was due. So gone to tax it on line and opt to pay it. FFS they want it as a direct debit. Why can I not give them a card number.
