Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[YamFazFan]

I'm suspecting this post wasn't a wind-up at 11:53pm last night😉 lol

Then it worked as well as I wanted it to, mission accomplished. 

I can't keep up now. This plot has got more bluffs and double bluffs than Where Eagles Dare😏

[tommyardin]

   True

[stet]

Seriously.
What get my goat is why Samsung built the Galaxy 6 Edge in a such away that you cannot remove or replace the battery.
Mine is 14 months old and the battery only holds its charge for about 8 hours, it seems every time I go to make a foccing call there is 3% left and it immediately shuts down.
Nearly £600 for 14 months use, £42+ a month without call costs or data. 


Contract next time

It is possible to change the battery in a Galaxy 6 Edge:

Hah! You nearly got me again there Tommy, with the old 'Can't remove battery' bluff!😃 lol

Yeah alright don't spoil my delusions, she is a 2002 model, but still only 56K on the clock, and it's amazing the speed it will go with that Reliant Robin lump in it.

3rd party is ok until you 'meet' one of those uninsured drivers. A friends mum ended up paying out around £3,000 out of her own pocket because she 'saved' £50 on her insurance premium by going TPFT and not Comprehensive.


Oh yeah, the uninsured driver got a few points and a fine. Didn't have to repay the costs of the damage because that would have to be dealt with in a Civil case and no guarantee you'd actually get the money.

When you flash your headlamps and do the open palm gesture to let someone pull out of a side turning and they stare blankly at you.....so you repeat.....still blank stare.

Then just as you give up trying to help and move forward so do they and there's almost a collision.

I put two biker workmates to that test and neither saw it.

How did she end up with Billy Connolly . . . Then again she was originally from the colonies. 

[YamFazFan]

Didn't they meet on Not The Nine O'clock News?.

Think it was when she did that spoof interview with him in character as Janet Street Porter.

hmmmm. Ever heard of flash for cash? Ever read the highway code regarding flashing of lights? Ever been filtering when the driver in front of you does this?


I was riding along the Eastern Road in Portsmouth a few years back. An oncoming driver slowed and flashed his lights, the young girl waiting at the side road to my right took this as an open invitation..... and t-boned the Mercedes estate immediately in front of me. It was not pretty or something I ever want to witness again.


When anyone flashes me I stare back at them. I'll go when the road is clear thanks, even if it means quite a long wait.

[YamFazFan]

I'm assuming that flash for cash is some sort of insurance swindle?.

Just checked The Highway Code and it states that you should not flash your headlamps for any other reason that to alert fellow road users of your presence.

There's a couple of notoriously difficult junctions to get out of round this way. You can sit for ages and ages waiting for a gap.

 Can't imagine I'm going to be very popular with the long queue behind me when I refuse to pull out next time someone gives way with a headlamp flash

[fazersharp]

When anyone flashes me I stare back at them. I'll go when the road is clear thanks, even if it means quite a long wait.

On the same note - people who move over for me and wonder why I haven't gone past them on the brow of a hill or a lorry coming the other direction or on the approach to a crossroads. Thanks but I will overtake when I want and I don't need you to move over for me.
Having said that it is nice when they do move over (on a safe bit ]

[YamFazFan]

If I was sat at the front of a queue waiting to pull out of a junction and I repeatedly ignored drivers on the main road giving way to allow me to pull out, I'd be worried that the irate and impatient driver behind would deliberately ram into the back of me.

Let's face it, be it right or wrong, you're just going to wind up everyone behind you aren't you
