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

[joebloggs]

Sorry Joebloggs, that attitude this morning was unnecessary, I'm not usually an argumentative foccer.  I just assumed you were expecting antibiotics and overprescribing is a real problem with dangerous bacteria become resistant. Sorry again.  :rolleyes

No, billy was right, a few days worth of painkillers was what I was really after, like he said it's not like I'm always up there begging for pills.

As for your post, no problem, its a free world, just hope your balls rot and don't drop off  :b

A 2 parter.......

1. Foccing supermarkets that shut off the closest 50 spaces to make space to advertise cars!!! It's pissing down with rain and they are filling the car park with new Audis, (which in itself doesn't sound that bad u till you realise the Audi garage is foccing next door!!!). Seriously, how many people nip to tesco for a loaf of bread and think "oh I'll just buy a new Audi while I'm here!!"

2.
Coffin dodgers in cages who stop at every foccing roundabout regardless of if there's anything coming! 6 roundabouts in a row I was behind this foccing fossil and not one of them had anything coming yet she still decided to come to a full stop at every one!! Didn't help that I was trying to get to a meeting on time either!

Special mention for wankers who get up your arse on the motorway while your overtaking, theyre doing about 20 over the limit then flash their lights the moment your bumper is 2 inches in front of the vehicle your passing. Needless to say I didn't move across and forced the prick to undertake me just to prove a point. Not sure what that point was but felt better for inconveniencing him haha
I wouldn't have minded but I was already speeding myself

Flat battery. That's today's ride out the window, and more expense for a new one before my Euro trip. Bugger. Still, better to find out now rather than half way across Spain I suppose.

Just coz a battery goes flat doesn't mean it needs changing


bump it man bump it

Thing is, the bike was unused for a couple months in the winter, and I came out to find it completely dead. It charged up ok, and I had a couple of rides with no problems. But to find it flat a second time and not that long after it's last use...nope, not going to take the chance.

Dickhead HGV drivers.

Going up to London, approaching the Hindhead Tunnel, the traffic is all backed up and a 40mph limit is in effect, so I'm filtering up through it as always and I've just got most of the way past an artic when he starts indicating right and begins to try to push into Lane 2 because, up ahead, the sign for Lane 1 has a red X on it.

I brake, because I don't want him pulling over on me and I'm looking up at him in his mirror, he's waving and effing and blinding because I'm stopping him from moving over.

WTF? If he had a) checked his mirror before starting to manoeuvre or b) would wait about five seconds more, the vehicle on my right would move up, I could get past and he could move in, everyone wins.

But, no, he seems to want me to stop, let 40 feet of trailer go by and *then* proceed! Bugger that.

So I stay where I am, wait for the vehicle on my right to move, slip through and carry on, giving the guy a wave (and not with one finger!) to which he responds by flashing his lights repeatedly and waving his hand about.

Whatever.

So I go past the red X lane closed and there's a matrix sign saying "Pedestrian in road" and maintaining the 40 limit.

Next lane sign, however, has both arrows green. "Hmm, ok," I think, "I could move over to Lane 1, but nobody else has. The sign could be a mistake, so I'll wait for the next one." The next one is also both green, so I move over even though pretty much everyone else is staying in Lane 2.

I say "pretty much everyone", because guess who I see coming up behind me...

Now it's still a 40 limit, I'm not going to risk a ticket because of this idiot trying to tailgate me, so I keep my speed down, just tweaking the throttle to keep far enough ahead of him.

Finally we get out of the tunnel and past the second average speed camera, I kick it down a couple of gears and "Goodbye, asshole!"

I hope he feels better...

Re: Dickhead HGV drivers
  A few weeks ago we were going through Elkesley on the A1. It's a 50 mph speed limit with cameras and occasionally police cars. The OH was driving and keeping to the speed limit in lane 1 with driver who were happy to risk a ticket going past in lane 2 and a Knobhead in a bloody great artic behind was trying to get into our boot 'encouraging' the wife to speed up a bit. She didn't. About 1/4 of a mile from the derestriction sign he forced his way into lane 2 and drove past, my wife pulled out to overtake the slower trucks ready to accelerate and this arsehole stayed in the outside lane at about 45 mph for about 5 miles cos we'd slowed him down through the 50mph speed limit. They think they own the bloody road.

if you've got it all on dashcam report to the police. they are very obliging I must say.

There was a German fella at my work yesterday, a really pleasant and decent bloke, but he had an accent that was comedy gold when he spoke English.
His real voice resembled something straight out of 'Allo Allo'.
If i was to mimic his voice he would've probably looked at me thinking "Why is he talking like that?"  :lol

One of our top managers is Irish, sounds just like farther Ted, really not easy to keep a straight face when he asks you something

[lew600fazer]

Went to a dentist here in France yesterday, never been to this fella before. He was from Dublin and can talk more than my Mrs who talks for England. Turns out he is a biker has a string of classics his favourite being the CBX 6 cylinder. By the time we finished talking bikes he says I will be needing to make another appointment as my next patient is waiting, lol, ah well it was only for a descale and polish.
