Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Nutsinatin]

As per my post yesterday, same NSL road, but this time with rain, stuck behind a 25 mph car and a 19 mph car. Then coming round a corner nearly rear ended a Van traveling at 14 mph with no lights on, in the pitch black with no street lights. I wondered how these people got away with it until I saw some idiot had managed to roll his Fiat 500 on a straight stretch of this road this morning. Madness. I know there is considering and driving to conditions, but these are not 20% of the speed limit conditions. I wish the van was the only vehicle I saw tonight with no lights but there were more offenders, I don't remember it so bad last year.

I can never understand people's judgement regarding when to use lights, any doubt stick em on.

Do police ever pull people for doing too far under the stated speed limit, is just as dangerous as excessive speed.

People who offer you a cup of tea and then give you earl grey.

It always tastes like dirty dishwater to me.

Down your way it will. Earl Grey is a blend for Northumberland water.

Customers who phone & say I need a job doing urgently ASAP & then you can never pin them to a time when they will be in!!!!

My car decides when to put the lights on, as soon as it gets dull or I go into a tunnel they come on. Then when I park and walk away from the car they switch off. Super. Until I use another car and then I just know I'll be forgetting to put them on or waking away from the car without switching them off and coming back to a flat battery.

Nope, never seen one.
Does it have a tank that the water is heated in or is the water heated as used?

[maviczap]

Heated as it's used Bill.

Mine for today.

Starting a night shift at 02:00, I've only dropped off to slleep about an hour before my alarm has woken me up, it's raining and there's a thunderstorm rumbling on. Tired and grumpy.

[BanannaMan]

Electricity must be much more affordable.
To be able to heat water as used would kill you on your leccy bill here.




I've worked night shift. I think I was tired and grumpy the entire time.
