Rant of the day

Bit of a first world problem Mr O...

 

Cars the same colour as the road. Why would you, make, design, sell, drive one of these. some are the colour of wet roads, some dry, dark greys slate all the fashion at the moment, there I said they are fashionable so I single handedly sold 20,000 more. think for your self people
" oh thats a nice colour, oh and it matches the road, super lets have that one"
O F F S.

 

Once again....our feckin weather
Put my B P O S on the optimate on Friday night before I went for a pint
Just been for a walk and thinking I'll get out for a few hours and before you know it I'm soaked through before I get back in the house
Bike staying where it is once again
Bet it's lovely tomorrow when I'm at work

 

Come up here, sat on the beach, just had hotdogs, eldest daughter not here, so got doubles.!!!! All's well in the world

 

Yep theyre the ones that disappear in the early morning fog / mist cos they don't know where the Bloody light switch is!!

Just been out for a tootle to flog the beemer ( 200 mile round trip ), came home with a lovely little Trophy 900 in blue this time

 

Yeah mate think I might have a couple of doubles myself

 

Horseriders that wear green/yellow hi Vis vests on the road!! What's the normal background? Trees an hedges! What colour are they?? Green!! Where do you ride? Shady country roads! What colour is your horse?? A kind of shady grey/brown!! Ffs help yourselves before you expect other road users to help you!!

 

Wow, you guys do,have huge problems over there. Try having a buffoon for a president.

 

We have one as Foreign Secretary instead

 

My Focus is bright red for this reason. It's called Mars Red but is almost orange in the sunlight and you cannot easily miss it. Quite like the gunmetal-type colours but would not have one because of the camouflage issue.

 

An insurance gripe from me today as well. Text from the bank this morning tells me I'm overdrawn. Eh?? Log on (good job I'm at home today) and sure enough there is a £600 deduction from a well known sea-faring-related insurance company. I knew it was renewal time about now but no email, no letter, nothing. Gave them an earful mainly as they just used the renewal quote instead of "checking" the policy first - got a ton back. Robbing barstewards indeed.

Odd the family above were left after the accident. I have two plastic fobs from RAC and Ford in my wallet with accident assistance numbers on them. I got the Ford one free with my main stealer service. Probably an affiliated accident management tie-in company but the blurb was all about get you home, temp car, help with claims and all that. Perhaps the insurance companies don't do it because others do it for them now?

 

Got stung once, but now i always make sure i don't have auto renewal when taking out policies

 

Ryanair what a mess what the feck is it all about?? Just watched a news clip of Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary "explaining the situation" but i'm none the wiser

I booked flight tickets to Valencia for the Moto gp last week and for the first time they are flying direct from Scotland we usually have to fly to Alicante and hire a car or get the train to Valencia, I booked direct with Ryanair, but had signed up for price alerts from Skyscanner previously, I received a text from Skyscanner today saying the price has risen substantially, so I logged on out of curiosity and the only flight I can see involves a stopover and what should have been a flight that takes under 3 hours will now be almost 6 hours..but I havn’t heard anything from Ryanair about this,as you can imagine trying to contact them at the moment is impossible,So i don't know if the flight i've booked is still on or if i will have to take the flight with the stopover I have paid for the flight so I’m not expecting to have to pay anymore, in fact I was hoping for some sort of compensation but it seems you only get compensation if you were informed less than 14 days before the flight.Although they are saying they will be cancelling 50 flights a day for the next 6 weeks it seems it is going beyond that as my flight isn’t until the 9th November..over 7 weeks away

On that theme, I had been a committed smoker since my teenage years, then after divorce got smitten by a nice young lady, a non-drinker (except champagne at do's), and non-smoker. Our first date was 25 July 1993 (me aged 41), 'If you want to kiss me you'll have to quit smoking', she told me. I haven't had a fag since. It so easy to quit when you have the right motivation.

 

Met my wife on a blind date when she was 20yrs old...non drinker and non smoker
I like the odd drink and have smoked all my life
Been together 31yrs now....dunno how I've got away with it.... but those that have met me will know that I can be quite the charmer

 

Have you allowed her to remove her blindfold yet though.

 

Blindfold !!!! It's the fact she's chained up in a soundproof cellar at his house that's more of a worry !!!!

 

Wait till next years GMU.....I've got a good memory

 

I take it she now supps like a fish, smokes like a chimney and is resistant to the wit of others then ?

 

Nope....doesn't smoke doesn't drink and I still make her laugh every day
Dunno if it's with me or at me but I must be doing something right

 

It must be the drugs you slip in her cornflakes.

 

I don't think Michael O'Leary knows himself what he's doing.It looks like the pilots have him by the scrotum on holiday entitlement issues and dangling the carrot of £££££K at them is not going to work.I really feel for those,like yourself Dougie,who are left trying to make sense of a stupid decision made,with knock on effects.I certainly hope this will be resolved and you get to the Moto GP

 

Dog owning twats who conscientiously pick up their dogs shite in a bag and then leave it on a wall or stile.

 

I take it you're not eating fish & chips on your way back then.
