maqroll Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I woke up in the middle of the night last night with a runny nose that was just a bit too runny for my liking. When I turned the light on I realized it was blood. I hate getting a bloody nose. It was a bad one too. This dry winter weather is brutal. Blizzrd coming tomorrow too, followed by 5 days of 20F high temps. Sometimes I wonder why I stay here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I actually just took a break for a couple of weeks in January. Will probably do so again when winter ends and I'm out on my bike trying to stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true mate On 3/12/2017 at 12:59, Ginko said: I agree, Rich, but from the sounds of it Alex thought this girl was something special and she's turned out to be quite the opposite. I can understand how that can be pretty devastating and it makes you question yourself which is the worst thing anyone can do to you. I've definitely been there myself. There are some genuinely lovely people out there though and we should always remember these experiences so we can appreciate that rather than take them for granted. Agreed mate, I think it was disbelief that someone can turn so quickly from being lovely into being, what might be described as nasty. Plus she's tried to badmouth me by making false claims about me, which equally devastates me and fills me with immense anger. Luckily no-one believes her. Still its all blown over now and we go again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I feel like this is more of a legitimate 'pisses me off' and that it probably should, but - able people who get the lift from the ground to the first floor instead of using the stairs.

This isn't a thread for questions, but seeing as you asked. It's nothing to do with YouTube. Whoever promotes "Made In Chelsea" have spent their budget to get that ad in front of your eyes. I'd blame your demographic. I bet some people are getting similar ads on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have a meeting tomorrow where I have to present something to the VP of the company. Except I have literally no idea how to do it. I don't understand it. But I'm supposed to. And I have to present the explanation to him. It's like that Peep Show episode where Mark has to give that big presentation and stays up all night and then realises, minutes before the meeting, that it's all shit and he has nothing to present. I'm going to end up hiding in the car park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post darrenm Posted March 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2017 Drivers refusing to yield on 2 into 1 filters. It's accepted amongst reasonable people that you filter together i.e. 1 from the left, 1 from the right. Some idiots from the left lane decide their lane is the One True Lane™ and that everyone from the right is an deserving scumbag and doesn't deserve to be let in. Therefore they get right on the arse of the car in front. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted March 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I had some prick yesterday furious behind me trying to swerve around and overtake because I let in someone in from a sidestreet while there was a red light 20 metres ahead. He literally started hitting his horn and trying to squeeze past me in the wrong lane with oncoming traffic approaching because there was a 2 car length gap ahead of me for 5 seconds. I think he'd already got a bit worked up by me following the speed limit no matter how far up my arse he tried to get. The driving test needs a 'are you a clearing in the woods?' section.

I get that but the one that gets my goat is when everyone is queueing nicely in one lane and some plum (in a beamer) decides to cut right to the front of the queue and push his way in. In that instance I will always refuse to yield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is there is always some div willing to let these people in. Why do they let them in? Makes me more angry than the ***** themselves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Quote Dog walkers are being urged not to bag up their pet's poo in the countryside - but to use a stick and flick it into the undergrowth instead. Conservative MP Anne Main will advocate the method during a Westminster debate as a way of reducing the number of plastic bags blighting the countryside. Mrs Main says better signage is needed at the entrance of parks and open spaces so dog owners know what to do. She says poo-filled bags hanging from trees are a nationwide problem. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39254072 Quote I don't understand. You go to the trouble of picking up the dog poo and bagging it up but then just hang it from a tree? What is this? What is the purpose? Why would you think that is a solution? Are these people that stupid to think this is a job well done? Why waste your time and energy picking shit up if you are only going to dump it in a bag? One or two people being this thick is fair enough, but making this a nationwide problem? How can so many people be this stupid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that instance I will always refuse to yield. Something tangentially connected to this occurred to me yesterday. Approaching a roundabout, two lanes. Left lane is "left turn or straight ahead", right lane is "right turn only". Most drivers (me included) are going straight across, and the roundabout is fairly busy, so a fair old queue has built up in the left lane, with cars filtering on steadily. The right turn lane is completely empty. It struck me that the obvious thing to do would be go into the right lane, sail past everybody, and go all the way around the roundabout, and back on to the main road on the other side. I didn't do it, because it just felt like slightly bad etiquette. What Does The VT Panel Think? Edited March 14, 2017 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
