The amount of numpties driving their cars in Southend today. I usually witness a couple of incidents a week, but today I'm in double figures.
For exmple slowed down to let a car coming in the opposite direction get passed some parked cars, only to have a speed merchant overtake me, hit the wing mirror of the oncoming car and not even bother to stop. Then to make matters worse, the driver was behind in the queue to pay for diesel, where he just jumped the queue without a care in the world.
 
After treading in dog poo in the dark for the umpteenth time, my elderly neighbour who is 82, who I help non stop for free, telling me that her dog can poo where it likes. I agreed with this, but kindly asked her to pick it up, or unlucky people like me are not only getting it on their shoes, but also then treading it in the carpet. It takes ages to scrub out and get rid of the smell. She takes no notice. I have never seen her pick up after her dog as she doesn't even take poo bags with her. The dog walk consists of 3 houses to the left, and then 3 houses to the right. So every day that stretch is covered in it. And no, I can't snitch on her to the council, as that's not something I do.

Euthanasia? :winking:
 
EVERYTHING!

wrote my car off at the weekend after spinning out on an oil spill on a roundabout, me and 2 kids in the car, Luckily we are all well but now to deal with the **** aftermath, had the thing on finance so not really sure how that's going to work and insurance company too eager to write it off, on top of that, boilers busted this morning, as well as the pipe under the sink! on the positive side, old bill saw exactly what had happened on the roundabout and I am not liable for any damages and no further action will be taken against myself so they actually knew I wasn't driving dangerously which is nice for once!

Least you're all still breathing mate, thats the main thing. The rest is just an annoyance that will sort itself out.

You're absolutely right and exactly what I said Saturday as we got out I cant ask for anything more, not a scratch on any of us the rest is just money and metal, just a massive hindrance!
 
Been given a spanky new huge laptop with a massive memory & HD....you think it'd boot up in seconds....no it's like a lumbering beast, takes a good 5 minutes from first switch on before I my deskop pops up and I can logon onto Shrimperzone.

Same with shutdown...takes so long I get fed up and power it down.

Out of interest do you work on the digital railway project?
