Latest moan from you and me - 2016

If we go for a walk we take our lives in our hands, it's single track roads with a few placing places a bit of grass verge and ditch full of water, we now have to make vehicals slow down to pass us as there only enough room to pass slow, a few times we have had to jump into the ditches because these vehicals don't have breaks and won't slow down

 

Tax returns

 

Oh drivers over here use signals quite often, Lori ... lots of them ...





... usually they take the form of a) flashing their headlamps at you or b) something to do with pointing to the sky with their middle finger or c) shaking their fist in a manner similar to shaking dice
I usually conclude that a) must be someone I know saying "Hi"; b) they are singing along to "The only way is up ... " and/or c) they are hoping to get a double 6
The irony being, it is usually men who do this and, let's face it, they are hardly renown for being able to multi-task so it's quite impressive really: well and truly worthy of the wave and the smile I give them in return

 

Buying plastic carrier bags!
We all know by now that we have to take our own carrier bags to the supermarket etc or you have to pay a minimum of 5p for each one. Last week I was in the supermarket at the checkout In a hurry (I had a meeting to attend) when the jerk in front of me said to the cashier 'I'm not paying for a bag!' The cashier replied ' you are because the store will get a £5000 fine if you don't' he carried on shouting his mouth off about paying for plastic bags etc etc he was like a spoilt child! The argument went on & he eventually said 'I don't want my shopping if you are going to charge me for a bag' by now I was getting a little short tempered mainly because he was so rude to the girl on the checkout, & we all know we have to pay for carriers, in a very calm quiet voice I said to him 'if you don't want to pay for a carrier bag put your groceries back into the trolley & leave them or pay for them, load them back into your trolley & take them to your car BUT don't argue with the cashier she's only doing her job! He looked rather shocked & embarrased went quiet, paid for his goods loaded them into the trolley & off he went! But why,why be do rude? Why be do difficult? Why pick on a young girl? It drives me potty how rude some people can be! Rant over!

 

Some people like the power there feel, but once the boot is on the other foot there don't like it

I can multi task......but not at the same time

 

Can anyone explain why low voltage stuff like lap tops etc. have a power cable that looks like something nicked from the national grid?

Mine has 4ft of 13 amp cable going to a transformer that's 5in long, the cable then goes down in size to a 6ft length of the most rigid cable I've ever come across which was tied up in a cable tie when I bought it.
Consequently its all twisted and kinked and gets in a knot by just looking at it.

B****y Chinese crap.

Oh, and the cable on my sat nav is just about the same minus the transformer.

 

I kind of thought someone was going to say that FC.

But surely a sat nav could have similar cable to phone?

 

Yep thanks for the explanation FC.
Cant say I understood it all.

Kind of brings my moan down to, why cant they carefully roll the cable up so its not kinked to start with?

 

Don't forget that they are flex cables and a few copper strands in the cable may break in time so over rated to start with

 

From the same orifice; simultaneously!!!???
Blimey, guess he gets a soggy butt: frequently
