Rant of the day

Just to change the subject slightly, went into Amsterdam for a curry tonight.
Here’s what it cost to park the car for 2 hours 40 minutes.
16.48 Euros. I just want to park, not buy the street.
If you ever visit Amsterdam by car never try to avoid paying as they have camera cars driving around checking if you paid.

Should’ve gone in on the bike and I’d be 16 Euros better off.

 

Damn and blast. Just been out on Waspy for an hour with a new camera setting on my Drift and on getting home and testing the output, discovered I’d not plugged in the external mic so all you can hear is wind noise.
What a plonker

I may post up the output later cos where I went is an interesting place called Naarden Vesting a large fort town about 30 mins from Amsterdam.
I’m trying 60 frames per second instead of 30 as the previous shoot turned out a little washed out in the bright sunshine. Any Drift camera buffs please feel free to tell me if this is wrong.

 

Sitting on the beach next to the Blue Bird Cafe, Ferring. Enjoying some chips with the Mrs, youngest son and one of the dogs after a nice drive out (me on Tigger and the wife and son in her MX-5). The dog didn’t get any chips.

Anyway, we found a nice spot a long way from anyone and settled down to eat the chips.

Then a couple wandered up and sat right next to us. I could have leant against their backs they were that close.

Why do people do this? It’s not the first time. We set up camp (wind breakers etc) on a deserted beach in Devon once and a family from London set up right next to us. They had miles of beach to choose from!

It really annoys me.

Edit: definitely a first world problem eh?!?

 

It’s like when I park my car at the far end of a car park to try and avoid door dings, and when I come back there’s someone parked right next to me

 

It happens all the time to me too. They do it here in Holland and when we went to Costa Rica earlier this year they did it there too.
It’s the human herding instinct and it’s bloody annoying. I always sit as far as possible from people (maybe I’m not human

 

Your OK if I arrive, I don't like people, so go as far away as possible. But your right, can't they see you don't want them near you ??? I sometimes start to swear loudly, if I see them approaching my spot on the beach

Especially on the beach, I can't be arsed getting changed under a towel !!!!

 

Are you related to me fuckface, get off my land

 

If some strangers started interrogating me about the latest standing row we’ve had, I think I’d tell them to Foxtrot Oscar too.

Funny how these liberals find it acceptable to record a private row and send it off to the left wing press. If the security services did the same with a justified double-lock warrant, they’d get told off by the very same liberals for an unacceptable invasion of privacy.

It would seem that if it suits someone’s political agenda that makes it ok in their mind to do something immoral or illegal...

The Guardian should have refused it if they had any ethics.

 

Bellend he certainly is but I suspect his tenure as PM is going to be very entertaining.

 

Thats how he gets you.

 

Naarden is pretty, isn't it?

 

Yes it’s another pretty typically Dutch town

 

Feckin B&Q
What a Feckin shite shop

 

Whats up?

 

I don’t think they’ll colour match his paint to quite the right shade of black?

 

Didn’t get what I went for
No Feckin staff
Find staff and they know Feckin nowt
Argue with wor lass
Silence in the car going home

Feck it I’m now in the garden getting sun burnt and more importantly I’m getting pissed

 

Did you go for white paint to finish your garage door

 

Funnily enough mate it was for white plastic trimming to go either side of the garage door
Found one piece that was big enough to go down one side
All I could find after that was packs of four twice the Feckin length that I needed far to expensive

Feckin shite shop
Shite staff

And to think I WAS in a good mood with it being Friday

Never mind I’m on my fourth can
The Sun is out
I’ve got a bottle of Jack Daniels unopened
Gonna get my radio and listen to planet rock
And smoke some cigarettes from Croatia

FTW

 

Yeah yeah I’ve just ordered one

 

IGIGAF?
