Not sure if it's a "things I don't like" as such, as it sort of doesn't affect me (other than feeling sorry for the family), but if any of you have heard about Adrian Lynch, a 20yr old who went missing In Jersey over a week ago now... I guess I don't like how easy it is for someone to disappear...

Jersey, covers a 9x5 mile portion of the Earth.. It is bigger than that when you factor in the hills and valleys, but we're not talking about a vast body of land. What also makes it more incredible is that the search is not even Jersey in its entirety, it's a miniscule portion of the island, perhaps that may be the problem, I guess time will tell. I just find it incredible especially as the island folk often say "crime is so low here, people wouldn't bother (breaking the law), where are you going to go to escape?" of course so far there is no evidence to suggest criminal activities but it's awfully strange!

(also Jersey does have crime...)..

That might mean they know for certain, he's likely to only be in the tiny section of Jersey, that's being searched.

Hadn't actually heard of his disappearance until you mentioned it, went and googled, to find out more.

Do the Channel Islands Police have a helicopter?

Whilst obviously bigger, judging by the reports in the local press, east Dorset, has a few missing persons a week, they usually turn up, eventually.

Finally been through the cam footage and just as she brakes hard........the footage stopped for its next loop :rolleyes:

Technophobe that I am also meant my loops don't overlap more are a few seconds apart :blush: :doh: so the very next loop is a few seconds up the road where she brakes hard again for no reason, sorry dead boring video as it stands....still wanna see it?

Yes, it would be interesting, however, boring :)

I don't like the fact I'm completely out of butter, and have embarked on a cheesecake, without realising the state of my butterlessness :(

Having imbibed some ale, I'll probably be over the limit, or too close to it, to go on a butter gathering expedition :unsure:

They; as do I, reckon he is dead. Jersey is not the type of place you get lost in for more than a few hours. No, I don't believe they do have a chopper, not much call for it, high speed pursuits don't happen and realistically if someone does something and runs, they just need to wait and they'll turn up...

As for a missing person, they are searching a confined space because by all accounts the poor lad appeared disorientated and going round in circles. They say there is evidence that he started to strip off, which apparently suggests hypothermia (something I never knew)...

I suppose knowing the size of Jersey, it just amazes me that they've not found the guy in such a small area. Reasons will come it eventually I suppose...

I did wonder that myself :(

Sounds like he was deeply troubled

I have heard of stripping off and it being a symptom of hypothermia, I think it was one of those survival Bear Grylls type programmes, as something too look out for, in your group, when trying to survive in the cold.

A drone with infra red and thermal imaging cameras would be useful, but I dare say, someone's probably thought of that

I think you need to start fore-planning your baking ideas to ensure all ingredients are owned! :lol:

It was a sudden decision to utilise the spare lemons and sultana remainder, from last weeks multi-fruit fruit cake.

Will you on this one GMX, I went to bake Oreo bark, without the crucial ingredients.... OReo's.

I improvised, ground almonds and walnut oil instead of butter for the biscuit base.

Having examined all the oils I had to hand, walnut was about the only one that wouldn't impair the flavour of the cheesecake.

I've just burnt my inner mouth parts with hot sultanas in a warm cheesecake :( Blister have formed on my palate :(

I didn't realise sultanas could hold on to heat like that! :o That's the territory of roast potatoes, hard boiled eggs straight from the pan!

Yep, anything with a soft "liquidy" centre can be dangerously hot. Strawberries and raspberries are terrible for it.

Courgettes are another culprit in a ratatouille, long after everything else is cooled down enough to eat : the courgette strikes with it's inner glow!

Jacket potatoes are what always gets me... I never learn either, every week I burn my mouth on them!! :lol:

Apologies for the delay in getting back, but here's that video: https://youtu.be/AZEwjqaGw1I

Not only does it look like things are further away that they were, it misses how close I ended up to her

Interesting how the red car in front of you is forced to stop in the '' sin bin '' - the yellow crosshatched area adjacent to the fire station, that one does not enter unless one has an exit , or is making a right turn - none of which apply to the red car or the silver one ( with no lights ) . . . in front of that . . . was the silver car intending to turn right into the driveway of the house on the right I wonder ?

And the idiot parked on double yellows on the left just prior to the fire station, with the hazards flashing . . . doesn't help either

I'm trying to see why the silver car in front of the red car in front of you braked ?

The silver car's driver is the catalyst to this issue.

The roads are also wet - stopping distances in the wet are up to 150 feet ( approx' 12 car lengths ) @ 30 m.p.h. & you state that the video makes things look further away than was actually the case . . . so a lack of stopping distance requirement is also playing it's part . .

In the early part of the video there's also what looks like a Landy indicating left . . . & yet it doesn't make a left turn, or move to the left . . .

Edited by MONDEO TXS 2.2

One thing that does my nut (it's beyond a don't like, its a hate with a passion and would happily slaughter the driver)

Idiots who queue jump, and then use their indicators as a right of way identifier. INDICATORS DO NOT GIVE RIGHT OF WAY YOU BOTTOM VOID.

Indicators state that is the direction you need to move and when you use them you need the traffic around you to accommodate it, these idiots don't seem to realise the annoyance they cause.

I sat In queues yesterday for 40 minutes, then it's so annoying when they just drive past a 5 mile queue and think it's their given right to nearly take you out as they swing in front with their indicator right of way.

You wouldn't cut a massive queue in public, you would be punched in the face, yet you see fit to use your 2 tonne weapon (or as the case was yesterday also an 18 wheeler!) to force your way In front of me (or anyone else for that matter).

So many times I am glad my seat belt had restrained me as If it didn't, I would have nothing immediately deterring me from getting out opening the door, taking the keys, and launching them across the road, followed by a swift fist to the nose.

Hmmmm James . . . I detect road rage from here !

No matter the level of provocation, a safe driver is a calm one . . . :)

Rules me out then...

I'm with James on that matter, I'm all for people making a mistake and trying to join a queue halfway down when they realise they're in the wrong lane, but it's the people that head right to the front or near the front and push in...

More so in shorter queues when you see someone coming up some distance behind, start to overtake people then try and push back in... I've seen you skip all those people, like hell am I letting you in...

Queue jumpers are all too common . . . . & common is the operative word here . . . :)

I do get Road rage on occasion, seldom do I act on it, but it's the annoyance. Rather than like the rest of us, grit and bear the delay, they push in which delays me even further. This was proven last night, a friend was ahead of me on the route home. He moved to the middle of the lane, physically restricting the ability of overtakes to behind him and I was in the queue about a half mile back the car next to him knew what he was doing and so did the same thing. It took me an additional 22 minutes, to get to the roundabout after he reached it. 22 minutes, because of these inconsiderate idiots who all seem to think their time is more precious than the rest of us. A few minutes I can let slide, but 22 minutes more to travel one mile is annoying no matter who you are,or whether you suffer Road rage or not. I know the spots where people commonly queue jump and I will admit whole heartedly, I don't let them,or St least I don't willingly flash them in (unless they have hazard lights flashing). Beyond that you saw the queue you could have joined it anywhere over the last mile or five miles, yet you do so when you can see the junction.

That right there is a middle finger prompt.

I will hand on heart say that I queue jump in certain places... I don't push in because I know there will invariably be a large gap as cars turn to a well subscribed left hand junction, leaving me a gap to fall into the correct lane for my journey and proceed forwards. I've been caught out a couple times and had to go round the roundabout (with slow traffic lights) at the end... :lol:

On the topic of right of way, I don't like having to FORCE my way in-between two cars when it's FILTER IN TURN! That irritates me!

Encountered a ridiculous amount of 4x4s (range rovers) down super narrow school roads whilst taking my younger brother to school this morning. I didn't realise Greenwich was actually a field and required 4x4s to be navigated...

The '' trick '' when dealing with these type of situations is to mentally rise above it - refuse to allow these idiots to raise your blood pressure . . . :)

Yeah people don't seem to know what "filter in turn" means, or they are just unaware of any road signs. I have this every day on the way to work (anyone who drives into Leeds on the A63 knows what I mean). People just do not let you in despite the merge in turn signs, and this is just to avoid a 2+ lane (car pool / car sharing). So I've resorted to getting into the other lane well before the merge in turn signs because it's not worth the stress of "merging". Doesn't merge in turn mean you're supposed to let people in, not block them?

And in terms of queue jumping, are we talking about people who charge up a lane that's only for turning right or left, then pushing into the straight ahead lane for example? Or simply using all the road available and merging when needed, as I think is the correct way to do it? I know there was another big discussion about this, possibly in this thread but who knows when it's 140 pages long lol.
