Re: What do you want to vent about today?
A biker did similar to me this morning.
No idea where he came from but he decided that even on a motorbike screaming out of a bend that 2m distancing was no longer required. Twat!

The standard of driving round Basingstoke was shocking last week, hoping things have got a bit better this week.Perkles wrote:the roads were full of knobs yesterday around hereduke63 wrote:A biker did similar to me this morning.

You'd be amazed how many people can't see a chilled sprinter.... I mean, it must be hard to spot at 9 foot tall!

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
its everywhere Nutz.
Derbyshire is full of erratic, thoughtless and mindless drivers.
Most of them do a max of 30mph on the country roads and still brake for every corner. Annoyingly I would bet a penny to a pound these are the same highly skilled drivers who can do 50mph past a school in heavy traffic with hazards lurking round every parked car as their ability to read the road and risk assess hazards is exemplary......NOT

DBS checks. These feckers have got a licence to print money. I've just completed the registration for what is I think my 4th DBS check in 12 months.

Wasn't May's husband invloved in this?
When i was a school governor, i think a husband of one of the Labour Ministers was involved at some point too.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
The ease at which my Huawei breaks. It's had 2 new screens and two new backs. The last repair took weeks as they couldn't get the parts. Now the back has broken again and I've no idea how.
I've ordered a refurbished sim free Samsung S10. It'll work out cheaper in the long run than having the Huawei repaired all the time.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I think you'll get on with the S10. It's ironed out nearly all the niggles I had with my S8 and it's very customisable so you can tweak it til you get it right.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
I looked at the reviews for the s9. They seemed to say it was an improvement in the s8 but nothing ground breaking. I then checked out the s9 v S10 reviews. The only reason not to get the S10 was the price which reviewers thought expensive. The refurb S10 is pretty cheap. Let's hope it's in as good a condition as they say.

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
My MiL had the S8, S9, then S10. She forgot she ever replaced the S8 with the S9 as they were exactly the same to use. The camera wasn't noticeably better and the UI was identical. They look very similar too.
The S10 has been proven to be faster for typical use than the S20 by the way (although the S20 is better for high performance applications)
Yeah fingers crossed it's good condition.. I've never bought refurb

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
The hard of thinking, some people make me wonder how they get through the day intact..
Today's example got on the bus, read the banner on the seat closest to the cab out loud, then turned and asked me if it was okay to sit there...
It's creased because people have been sitting there

Re: What do you want to vent about today?
My Wife really wants one. We just went to a carpet shop and opposite was a Maccas. The queue was onto the 3-lane main road and blocking the junction before it. Id estimate 35 cars in the queue.
Then on the way home, just off the M5 is another McDonald's closer to us. She was insistent that I stopped. No. I didnt stop. I would had to have stopped on the roundabout. She was not happy.

First world problems.
When the shipping company tell you your delivery will arrive on one day, then that day arrives and they change the delivery date to tomorrow.

Our Flights to Italy in August have been cancelled today. Makes you wonder what will be left of the airline industry.
