The Hallucinating Goose Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Car drivers that flash cyclists out of side streets. I assume these people know what they're doing is illegal. I do not mind having to wait for a little longer to be safe. The amount of times I get flashed out but can't go because of the opposite lane of traffic and find the car driver getting really annoyed. It's not my fault I can't go so don't get peed off with me, try using your eyes! I knew someone who flashed a car out of a side street which subsequently got smashed into. It was the person I knew that got into trouble with the authorities for letting the other one out. Don't let any vehicles out of side streets when it's your right of way, simple.

Bleep1673 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Switched on my computer just now, and it gave me the "Uploading Updates, do not turn off your computer" screen, so I turned to the quick crossword in the Metro, and had it finished by the time my computer was ready to go. This isn't to say "How clever I am", just, why does it take so bloody long to wind a systems updates in? Unless the Metro X-word is getting easier on a Thursday.

Steve May Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 My barber has retired. He was great. £3.50 for a five minute buzz cut. No chat, all done while the sandwich shop next door makes my lunch, and if there’s a queue it’s short and there’s a three year old copy of Top Gear magazine for me to read. This is a disaster So I need a new one. This is a big decision in a man’s life Every one I look into wants to lift at least fifteen quid off me, wants me to book in advance or waffles on about wet shaves or hairstyles I simply don’t have enough hair to stand a chance with No, I don’t care about “a cutting edge approach to modern barbering”. I don’t want to choose between three “master barbers” all wearing stupid waistcoats and beards like hipster idiots. I don’t want “an award winning coffee while I wait” because I don’t want to wait. I just want a quick haircut for a fiver, in and out in under ten minutes. 1 2 English, Irish, Brit, Yorkshire, European.
