Todays - What Grinds my gears

Everyone driving around like an Ecotwat. The speed itself i have no issue with but the number of knuckle draggers who pull out in front of you and then proceed to yawn on the throttle like it's their last Covid gasp is really fecking me off. If you can't make the gap when joining an NSL road from a junction then don't pull out.

Twice on the way in and three times on the way home plus another clueless tart who decided she wasn't going up the A1 at Old Welwyn roundabout and simply curled a dithering turn back out of the mouth of the junction back into roundabout traffic and the lanes other cars were in. And no surprises, phone in one hand and looking at that and not the road. 6 people have to take evasive action whilst she blathers into her phone.

I'm even further off people than I ever was.

Eco warriors who want to save the planet for the future and yet haven't committed suicide to help reduce the population which is the main issue.

SAVE THE PLANET.......COMMIT SUICIDE.

Shops that close between 1300 and 1400. Yeah staff deserve their lunch break but almost everywhere manages staff rotas to allow the shop to be open all day.

Meh. Laughing

I got a random invitation to sign up to Nextdoor.co.uk about a year ago, and the fuel crisis has prompted me to start posting replies on that topic, and then others. This can only end badly. It’s like putting a BCF member into Mumsnet (ooer!).

Anyway, my gears are being ground today by the fact that I have Had Enough of Stupid Cunts.

And I need to get tough about shunting them.
Work, home, life.
Get shot.
Pointless waste of time.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I hate everyone on the internet. But I tend to like some people IRL.

Being stuck in the house.

Back went twang on Thursday and by 3am I was screaming due to massive spasms, doc out , diazapam ingested.

Honestly, this old stuff if fucking shite !!

Did get a fright though as I was screaming at the top of my wee lungs at the pain.

Might mix whisky with the diazapam later for giggles.

Fucking everything! That's what! Got all the stuff out to give the van a wash, wheeled out the Karcher for the
first time in a while just to find every O ring on both hoses had perished. BASTARD!!! So I ordered new
ones then put it all away and roll the hosepipe out to the front. Literally as soon as I filled the bucket with
soapy water it starts raining. BAAAAAAAAAASTARD!!!!!! Deciding that it's only rain and that skin is waterproof I
wash the van in the rain, the moment I'm finished it stops BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTARD!!!!
So then go to the co-op, just miss the reduced double markdowns and leave with next to nothing. Get home and
decide to finish putting up the LED security light I recently purchased, I have already put the switch spur in in my
bedroom, connected it up to the power, drilled through to outside and put the bracket on the wall for the lamp
I did that part of the job the other day. All that's left to do is mount the light in the bracket and pull the wire through,
bang a few cable clips in and connect it to the spur. Moment I get my tools out, it starts raining yet again.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTARD!!!!

Finally took the wheel of my trailer (brother brought it back) and either he or one of his friends has used the spare wheel, and left the original one strapped to the trailer.

Took the tyre off, because it had been standing in the rain etc for god knows how long had gone all rusty. They were two new wheels when it went out on loan, always stored indoors, but I'd just got a car without a towbar, so was happy for someone to be using it. Hadn't seen it for at least three years.

So took the wire wheel to it for an hour or so, painted it with the old wheel paint. Next day put the tyre back on. spent ages struggling with the strap to get the beads to seal, eventually got it pumped up. put all three wheels together in a row feelng very pleased with myself.....looked at it and hour or two later, and it had a different profile than the other one, then realised it was bloody flat Brick Wall

Trying to read what a sign says on the side of the road while doing the correct speed for the conditions, only to find it is written in gibberish and then finding at the bottom that it is written in English and I almost miss what it said. But that is Wales for you. Soon Scotland will write every thing in Pictish.
