Compo 10,328 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Driving on a B class road in the Highlands yesterday there was a cyclist going downhill, almost in the centre of the road. He wouldn't budge and so SWMBO was forced to pull right over to the very edge of the road, two wheels in the dirt, in order to get past. I'm a regular cyclist but hate this kind of behaviour from bike users - it gives us all a bad name and when one gets hit, the car driver gets the blame. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 On the bus going over a narrow hump backed bridge struggling to follow a cyclist going zig zag really slowly. The driver called out, 'There`s a cycle track on the left, mate.' but the cyclist snapped back. 'They`re not compulsory you know.' Is it a bit infra dig for cyclists to use designated cycle tracks? In the days I used to cycle I`d get off and walk up steep hills -- and I was such a timid cyclist I`d get off and walk down steep hills as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 The Irish water fiasco!! We are broke but are reimbursing 22 million bills to the likes of me, Crapping on people who have dutifully paid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Could we have a link Ian explaining the situation! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Long story short- years ago they scrapped rates and put a huge hike on road tax,then the government announced that Irish Water was to be formed,huge protests as people are paying already! Plus millions was spent on feasibility study,council house dwellers don't pay water charges,it is put on rents,millions have not paid,millions have!! Do I get my money back- or will they pursue non payers? Water bills have now been suspended for 9 months - We still have no government at the moment because historically fine Gael and fine fail don't mix!! We had an election 2 months ago!! Think you got Govt problems? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I get pee'd off with seeing things in supermarkets with ridiculous sounding names. Pulled Pork for instance. It sounds rude to me. A bit like self abuse. Spatchcock Chicken, what's this FFS. I saw one on the shelf, and the poor little bu66er was splayed out looking very uninviting indeed. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 HUH. I went to W-ton this morning to spend my birthday money given to me by my son yesterday. I thought I would check out the bargains in BHS. 30% off lots of items. I bought myself some nice Sparkly Espadrilles. £18 with 30% off £12.60. When i got home and tried them on, the piece of leather that the strap slots through was missing from the left one. Back to town, Chris rode round while I popped back in BHS. The lady was very helpful and fetched me another pair from the stockroom. On arrival back at home, I tried them on again and realised the sparkly material was starting to come out in places. Knowing that they had no more at the W-ton store, we drove to Telford, 40mile round trip, all motorway so not to bad. They had plenty, so very quickly did a swop and got back to the car, for the 50p rate. So. Two journeys to town + one to Telford. £1.50 in parking approx Petrol cost £5.50 Total £7.00 My bargain £12.60 Espadrilles cost me £19.60. DOH. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
