Stevo985 Posted July 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2023 It's that time of year again where all those companies I have previously unsubscribed from (as in from their marketing emails) suddenly seem to have added me to more mailing lists.

foreveryoung Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Driving instructors, who decide the best way to teach their students to drive, is to put them right in the middle of rush hour traffic on main roads, even if they have no idea or confidence how to drive, I see it so much. I also have no idea how they obtain a licence to teach people to drive to be honest, although I might? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a big fan of Buddy and my dad took me to see him at Wolverhampton town hall not long before he died. As as teenager I was quite into Peter Erskine & Dennis Chambers. This is a fun video of Dennis playing Tool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Buddy Rich at The Odeon in New Street; just frightening ! He gave a name check to Carl Palmer, his Mom was in the audience. Believe Buddy gave Mr Palmer drum lessons and was very impressed by his ability. Can see the similarities ; even the 'traditional' way he holds the sticks - as opposed to 'matched grip'. Have to say , he was a tad rude to a couple of his band members. Denis Chambers played with the mighty Steely Dan a couple of times.

It was close to Wolvo actually (West brom), where one tried to kill me today, by pulling out onto a 50 mph road at 3mph, then maxing out 25mph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Wolvo you can be a taxi driver, driving instructor, or get some planning permission for that over hanging monstrosity of a extension for a back hander, no worries. Allegedly.

I also have no idea how they obtain a licence to teach people to drive to be honest, although I might? This annoys me too. Not the rush hour but, the main road bit. When I learned to drive I was confined to quiet roads until I had proper control of the car. Then when we got to main roads I would constantly be told I had to go faster if I was driving significantly below the speed limit. If your student is driving at 12mph in a busy 30 zone, you should be making them speed up. If they can’t do that then they shouldn’t be on that road 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Off to Kent at the weekend for a week. This doesn't piss me off, it's a week of relaxing and visiting places I haven't seen since the start of the 90s. What is pissing me off is my ankle is hurting from nowhere and I have a 4 hour drive on Saturday morning in a van with a very heavy clutch.

mjmooney Posted July 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2023 I have a decent laptop that I use for music production, but I didn't want to use it for other stuff (genealogy, photography stuff, general home office work, etc.), so I bought a cheap'n'cheerful one. It's absolutely fine, does the job... but what dingbat thought it was a good idea to have light grey characters on silver keys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style over function. Usually an Apple trait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
