Bus drivers in Aberdeen who seem to follow the “manoverve indicate and then look in mirror”routine
If there’s a tw#t sorry management type person from first bus can you fekin educate your drivers
I could go down to Union Street any day and record dozens of this type of crap. Probably doesn’t help when they “Park” at bus stops with their bus rear end sticking out blocking everything behind them
And don’t even get me started on the ones who blow past you in the twenty zones and the others who are early on their route doing ten mph just pull the fek over agghhh
I should have really not given up alcohol Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!

Baby on Board stickers and all the other nonsense that eejits stick on the back window of their motors
^^^ They appeared after a couple of accidents in the US where a parent/parents were rescued from a car but, because they were unable to tell the rescuers about a baby in the car, the baby wasn't searched-for and died. The idea was to put them on display only when there was a baby in the car. Now? I think they are used by people who, at first glance, you might not expected to ever have had sex but who are so pleased at having had sex and conceived a child, they want everyone to know. Well done you.

I saw only recently a car that had "RRSPORT.CO.UK" on the rear window - what the is that all about?
To the driver of a pink car in Halfords car-park with "Babe" stickers all over it, I just said "Hey, that was a great film".

4x4 Idiots who do not realise that in the UK that by law we drive on the left unless overtaking.
Now the idiot in a Range Rover towing a caravan in lane 2 on the M62 at about 45-50 mph when lane 1 is completely cleared!
D4 behind towing caravan got bored and moved into lane 1 and passed the idiot perfectly legally moved into lane 1 and passed it. Perfectly legally as lane 2 was congested and prohibited to overtake in lane 3.
Me in a 110 towing a laden 3.5 tonne trailer on tacho did the same manoeuvre using the audible warning signal. Half a mile down the M62 lane 1 perfectly clear behind me do you want to guess which lane the idiot RR towing a caravan was in?
ok ... turning right onto the East Lancs at "Charlie Browns" for those that know it. (for those that don't, it's a notoriously bad junction and "Charlie Browns" must have shut up shop at least 10 years ago )
Traffic light is clearly on red and I have right of way ... silver car nose-dived when I moved, then after I went continued across the junction. Taxi turned right and got in way of the traffic on the East Lancs. Black car that has crossed give-way was 50/50 at best.
1. The cleaner called to say her son is unwell after dentist trip, so she can't make it today. fair enough.
2. firm due Monday to install new drive rang. can't get the 60mm blocks .... no-one stocks them.
- sounded like a plan to just use 50mm blocks so made a few calls and ... :censored: me, they're right.
- rang manufacturer tech support. 50mm are fine for the weight BUT due to turning force of D4 wheels, they say i need the 60mm ones.
- between me and the contractor, we've probably sourced the 60mm's but few days delay. annoying.
3. the biggie. the decorator who came 2 weeks ago to measure then quoted having forgotten the
measurements came back today to re-do the quote. big difference verbally and promise written
quote with us by Sunday at latest. AND he can start next Wednesday, instead of 1st July previously
offered. left here about 13:50
then we exchange texts as follows. Notice the time.

Mothers that don’t keep an eye in their children.
Driving past a Chemist today and a small Toddler suddenly ran out of the door and straight in front of me. Thankfully I was only only travelling at slow speed, so I stopped dead. Nearly ended up with a car up my a e.
A woman, presume to be the mother, dashed out of the shop into the road and scooped the child up. It could have been so different. Might have it on Blackvue.
My son's house is a new build. Looks like they wired up the lights, routed cables back to consumer unit then pulled as hard as they could to use as little cable as possible..
