sidcow Posted June 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2020 Wake up at 5.00 am. Awake for ages before eventually drifting back off. Alarm goes off 7.30, hit snooze, instantly spark out again till the alarm goes off again. WHY? AAAAGGHHH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) People driving a bike on sidewalks (or pavement - guess sidewalks is americanese). It really shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but it's really really one of my pet peeves. Edited June 15, 2020 by KenjiOgiwara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to ride on the pavement and I happen to be walking in front of you and I don't hear you coming, a simple "excuse me" or a "could I get past please"...I can roll with. But just ring your bell at me then don't be surprised if one day I snap, boot you off your bike and shove your bell where the sun don't shine!

Not so much pavements as canal towpaths, but I always thank the (rare) bell-ringers, and curse at the ones who shout "Coming through!" or some such. As I understand it, bells on bikes are compulsory in the UK, but the typical MAMIL seems to regard them as effeminate. clearings in the woods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would much prefer a bell. When out walking it alerts me well ahead of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted June 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2020 I'm already noticing the litter building up more over the last few days as the fast food places open back up. The lack of respect people have for their surroundings in this country is **** disgusting. I'm sure we have an above average number of stupid, lazy, selfish rocket polishers. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the missus were talking about this yesterday, it never even needed to close so why it’s not yet reopened is a mystery. All other takeaways remained open so they could have easily done it, strange all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago they cancelled opening some as a trial because they were worried too many people would go there and they wouldn't be able to enforce social distancing. I think the area behind the counter is so restricted they're just concerned about how to keep their staff safe while being able to operate.

My mum keeps saying this to me but she’s the kind of person who drinks panda pop and says it tastes no different to Coca Cola. Ive has them frozen ones, they are good but it’s still not the same, they come out too dry, it’s that little layer of grease that makes a greggs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdabush Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The Sky Q touchpad remote. The normal one broke so having to use this abomination now. I'd say I accidentally fast forward or rewind every 10 minutes or so. Horrendous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
