Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Looking at my dead Drift Ghost X camera again. I was hoping if I left it a while it would magically come back to life. It hasn't. And I've had no reply in two weeks beyond the initial cut'n'paste response from Drift. I don't think they'll be geting back to me. The more I try to find out what's wrong with it the more it just leads to lots of stories of similar problems of their cameras just dying for no reason. £130 plus the extras I've invested in down the drain. Not impressed with Drift at all.
Edit: Minor grip I know compared to the horrors of the world (as LPH mentioned above) that people are going through.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
people who expect you to read their minds and then suggest its your fault for not understanding why situations unfold. Logic dictates every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Unfortunately, they insist on bringing you down to their level and beat you with their stupidity

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
As usual, after travelling in a confined space with other humans, I've managed to pick up a bug. Probably on the outward flight last week, when another human was coughing & spluttering away.
Not so bad its laid me up in bed, but enough to make me feel crap on the last day before the weather turns carp again. Plus I have to go into work & give a presentation, so I'm not at my best

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The latest roadside plant in our area is oilseed Rape ( Canola ) - every road I have driven along in the last week or so is lined with the blooming ( LOL ) things, originally seeds dropping off tractors to start with then every time the weeds flower traffic blows the seeds along the road. Pretty soon every road in the UK will be lined with the yellow weeds. The more yellow fields I see the worse my hayfever seems to get....

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Yep, it's becoming very noticeable round here too. This year there seems to be much more along the roads than I ever remember.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
. . . and the oil produced by vehicles crushing the seeds makes an ideal lubricant for the Queen's Highway !

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Just found out what it's like when your chain snaps the wrong side of 70 mph. Thankfully I still have both feet.
