Seat68 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 42 minutes ago, Davkaus said: I applaud the DVSA's efforts to ensure that they save government money by making a relatively simple process as frustrating, inconvenient and time consuming as possible. My mileage was recorded incorrectly, it displays in km so 75,000km, but the MOT centre read it as miles and converted it to km, so 75000km is now 120,000 miles. I now have to take it to DVSA and get them to verify the mileage. I am not looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a mate of mine once deftly put it "Do you know what it means when someone has their indicator on? It means their indicator is working". It usually means they are playing very loud music.

As a mate of mine once deftly put it "Do you know what it means when someone has their indicator on? It means their indicator is working". But it's also, you know, an indicator of what they probably will be doing. On its own, a blinking indicator means very little. In the subliminal context of everything else happening e.g. their eyes, car position, hand position, head position, it means the difference between assuming they're turning or not, which is the difference between you leaving it later to brake and being more prepared for what you think they're doing. Obviously you always cover yourself. But indicating makes a huge difference. You don't rely on it on its own, nor do you rely on all of the information together if it would be life or death. If you are very confident that someone's turning, they have the blinker on, their whole movement and behaviour is that of someone about to turn, then you'll carry on with the proviso that you'll need to floor it away or brake sharply if need be. Without the indicator you don't have that luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it looks like they're slowing to turn, they could easily T-bone you intentionally. At the end of the day I want to keep my no claims bonus and I do that by never assuming. You can be right 99 times ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 3 of the last 4 working days I have driven home from work there has been a 'broken down' car in one of the main commuter routes out of Brum, specifically the tunnels that lead onto the Aston Distressway. Now, i'm no conspiracy theorist but c'mon! That's taking the piss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this isn't a masturbation joke, but I know you guys will treat it as such. I wouldn't be so crass as to make an immature joke about your forearm aching being due to you masturbating. That would be easy. It's obvious to me that it's aching because your dad snuck into your room and wanked HIMSELF off with your hand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Just spent nearly an hour filling out an online application for a job and when I hit submit the website bugged out and reset my application.

Davkaus Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Unfortunately, it's a browser extension that you only ever find about when it's too late, but next time, you might be saved by Lazarus, available for both Chrome and Firefox. It's saved me, a ridiculous number of times. Quote Autosaves everything you type so you can easily recover from form-killing timeouts, crashes and network errors. Ever had one of those “oh $*#@” moments when you've finally finished filling out a long form, and hit submit only to see an error message? And when you hit the back button, the form was blank... If so, you know you need Lazarus. And if not, you have a chance to install Lazarus before disaster strikes! Lazarus saves everything you type so if the worst happens you can recover the whole form by simply clicking a menu item. The data can be encrypted and is saved on your machine so you know it's safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I was standing on the train this morning (as always) and as the train pulled into New Street I realised I was literally unable to move my left leg. Upon closer inspection it turned out that some absolute rocket polisher had chosen to dispose of his chewing gum right in the middle of the aisle. It's now more than an hour later, and I'm still sticking to the floor every step I take with my left leg. I sincerley hope, without exaggerating or caring, that whoever the **** he is he falls onto the tracks in front of an onrushing train and gets severed in **** half, the bellend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 My inability to remember foods I don't like all that much. Work canteen today, the BBQ chicken pizza looked nice, so I got that. Half way through eating it, I remembered I don't really like pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddywhack Posted October 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I was sat on the train to work this morning when a guy got on and stood right by me in the aisle. It was a bit annoying because there were plenty of seats. It didn't take long for me to notice his fly was undone because his tackle kept touching my cheek. I was so shocked my jaw dropped and my chewing gum rolled out my mouth. And then later on, as if my morning wasn't bad enough already, I fell on the tracks and got severed in half by a train.
