Hmm yeh that's sad. I suppose that local pubs and amusements might get a bit more... but yeh.. point taken..

They got plenty of me last night

Oh well, i bet you will check the tags in future! :lol:

Have a good holiday, wish we were sat in the sun instead of this rain! We cant justify blowing a couple of grand on a hol this year with a baby on the way and lots of things to buy! Heres hoping for a sunny August!:)

You should nice relaxing holiday in de sun for you and the Mrs before mini wes180 arrives. I done it went on a cheap week holiday to lanzarote haha well worth it even with the baby on the way we planning our first hol with the baba to Canada next summer just have to start saving that's the hardest thing about it saving.

I hate wen my fiance gets a call from the father asking her to pick him up from a pub in the middle of no where it is even more annoying when you owe him a favor haha but I won't be doing that again may as well of worked 6 nights in a row. Then he asked us to collect him from another town and on de way home asked me would I drive him over to the other pub from the night before and den said to his wife (with out me saying yes) are you coming out over to Kelly's tonight mark is going to pick us up mean while I'm there saying I am in my ar*e going to pick you up. Ha full time job + a baby isn't easy don't need to arrive at the pub at 00:30 and the spend a half hour ringing them and then going in at 1am and then left sitting there till 2am with out even getting a coke or something

Working my nuts off for the past 3 months and barely any Internet time wasting and conversation since the 30/05 when I left my last job.

Having to brake behind somebody stopping at a left only filter lane on a roundabout.

Lady in a small town car suddenly stopped at the roundabout here http://tinyurl.com/nqoaml3 on my way home. I had enough room to brake behind her but it was close for the car following me :(

Hate when driving behind a lady who is driving slow enough but brakes regardless when turning a corner when there was simply no need

I hate driving behind slow people too, especially as you say when they brake for no reason. So I overtook them on the a roads, o ly to get ahead of them and meet more slow people!!!

Hate working with this idiot I'm on with tonight he is like a child supervisor does change over explains what needs to b done during de night he says it to both of us and then he turns around and asks stupid questions like how do you do that what are we supposed to do we all trained about giving access cards to people but he's like what if they a visitor despite the fact we have explained it numerous times to him he still asks and then u say it to him 2 mins later u go on patrol and he gets a visitor to site and rings you help me there a visitor here I don't know what to do its like every shift is his first shift complete idi*t

Our office had two floors, on each floor it has two mens and two woman's toilets.

I just arrived In a cubicle and someone a few moments later walks in, he curses with a 'somethings sake' and then commences to pace backwards and forwards making as much noise as possible.

Now it doesn't benefit to explain what I was doing in that cubicle, but needless to say, when people behave like that, I just wait around until the other person finishes and he can go in that cubicle.

Seriously, all four mens cubicles are not occupied all the time, all he had to do was walk downstairs and go there, or, wait patiently outside the toilets like the rest of us normal people do!

Getting stuck in traffic, and turning a 1 hour journey into a 2 hour journey. Never felt so glad to be home. :rolleyes:

I've had it worse than that I'm afraid... one of my journeys to work one morning went from being 20-25 minutes into 1 hour 25 minutes.......

1 hour 25 minutes to commute 6 miles by car..... almost quicker to walk.

Todays hatred is anything Iveco, a particularly rusty Merc 413 and a Scania, I got to work on a load of crap today, roll on tomorrow a few newer ones to prep for test, hopefully a rust and seize free day

People who don't know how to drive round a roundabout without almost taking out my front bumper. It's the same roundabout every day and I'm amazed I haven't lost any paint to other cars on it yet, but I usually hold back until I can see whether the driver in the inside lane knows what a 2-lane roundabout is.

You should have just ditched the car, parked it in a quiet residential street somewhere, and walked the rest of the way as you said. Maybe not, but if you had like a foldable electric scooter in your boot, that would have been awesome.

I still had 15 miles left when I got stuck - not exactly walkable lol. It was raining cats and dogs outside (so much for a 'scorching' summer), and I was just sitting in my seat, watching the fuel needle move downwards lol.

Came back to pouring rain at Heathrow. :(

At least I get my new cat tomorrow! :D

Hate it when you can't remove certain apps from your phone such as drop box I hate that app as it always uploaded my pictures to it with out my permission I have it turned off now but would rather it be delete able from phone

Do you have android? Is it rooted?

Android not sure what rooted is

Rooting is awesome. It let's you do a lot more than you can as standard though I only tend to root put of warranty devices.

I wouldn't root a phone while it's under warranty either. You don't really know what's going to happen when you start messing with it, unless you know what you're doing anyway.

A Vauxhall Astra driver on my street (I park in council bays, don't have a driveway/garage) parked in such a way that it is taking up nearly two bays. T**t!!

The Nissan Juke. One nearly took me out on the way to Ford Fair and now one is parked in the middle of our office car park blocking in my car and at least 2 others. Maybe it's made by Vauxhall, that would explain the stupidity of the drivers. Also it's not the nicest car to look at lol.
