rodders0223 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 "We used to be able to do this, and that, and before we could do this and that, we used to have a team of x amount of people and in times gone by we had the man hours and personal to do this and that and this and that. It's not just your dept that have suffered because of this and that, it's this and that dept. I myself have to do this and that extra, it's been a great strain on this and that , we've suffered" Just do what I am asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted October 23, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2019 Car horns. Ok I live in a city so I expect an amount of noise pollution. But car horns have gone from; "Warning impending accident" to; "what did you do that for you muppet" but these days it's just; "I'M NOT GETTING WHAT I WANT RIGHT NOW AND I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT IM NOT GETTING EXACTLY WHAT I WANT IMMEDIATELY NOW AND I SHOULD HAVE IT BECAUSE I'M ME." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather has been great for last 4 or 5 weeks and picks up immediately after we come back Well the forecast was pretty wrong. Monday was bad, part of Tuesday was too. Wednesday was ok and yesterday and the rest of the week look fantastic. Current view. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Any discussion/ debate format program that has a live audience. Somewhere down the line audiences became much more involved, clapping like mindless seals at every first opportunity or groaning like a herd of cows when they hear something they don't like. Participants become conditioned to talk in shorter soundbites in order to (hopefully) solicit applause (who doesn't like applause). As a result nothing gets debated properly and no useful ideas are propagated. Go back a few decades and audiences where much quieter and there to listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time it happened to bme I had a very similar experience except it was one of those, no replaceable battery ones. I had to stick it in a bag of paving sand I had out the back, it was still beeping two weeks later. I replaced it with the replaceable battery type obviously 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Got the in laws round for his birthday, good session, ran out of beer I finish mine first, go for the bottle of gin... "you aren't touching that" he finishes his, asks what else we've got "would you like to try some gin?" He's drunk I'm not, waiting for the retrospective "you were drunk last night" argument tomorrow Edited October 26, 2019 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road numbers are pretty silly and go all over the place plus many similar ones are in the same area For example to get from Liverpool to Bristol I'll go Chester, Wrexham, Oswestry, Welshpool, Newton, Llanidloes, Rhayader, Builth Wells, Talgarth, Crickhowell, Abergavenny, Raglan, Newport, Bristol. The only road numbers I could tell you are A5, A470 and M4 the rest I'm oblivious too despite doing the route many times Is there a reason you go this way? Seems like an awful long way round with some terrible roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great roads with great scenery. Takes about 30 mins longer than M6/M5. Cheaper on fuel too. Plenty of places to stop for decent food. I really don’t know why anyone goes the “fast” route 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t know why anyone goes the “fast” route When I'd just passed my driving test (aged 33) I was too nervous to go on motorways, so we drove from Leeds to my wife's parents' place in Exeter (and back) entirely on A roads - mostly the A38. Wouldn't do it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
