What's made you grumpy today?
Try to stick with it young man. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
My Mother's advice would be: "Pull yourself together". That's why she wasn't a mental health professional.
Have a good look at the Panda. Surely there must be something to take your mind off everything else.
Cannot find the Sunday version of the highway code any where. Specifically want to have a look at the section where oncoming cars must give way to someone performing an on any other day illegal move of reversing into traffic flow from a side road..
My understanding must be wrong..given apparently the way it's done is to just reverse out into traffic across 2 lanes then get annoyed when it doesn't stop.

Adverts for sky.
According to the wording the deal they are offering is " exclusively for new and existing customers only".
Sorry, but what other types are there?.

Seems harsh. What if you just went abroad for a bit? Or a sinkhole opened up under your Skybox and TV?
Wouldn't they classed as new customers?
Once you contract has finished then you're no longer an existing customer so you must be "new", whether you are returning or not?
It depends how the caller phrases their call, and how the CS rep deals with it. If you called up saying "Here's my customer reference number, I'd like to resubscribe" instead of "I'd like to sign up to..." then you wouldn't be a new customer.
Gotta wait 22hrs to see if I win an auction, I hate waiting for stuff!!!
Slightly disappointed I left work night out at 1215..also not in anyway as drunk me has literally 0 ****s given when it comes to career prospects or can I look my work mates in the eye on Monday...

Any CCTV?
Little bit of snow last night..all fine but as I was clearing the windscreen dropped some ice into the drivers side power fold mirror.
Didn't notice until I pressed the button to operate them and it moves a cm then stopped..the ice now wedged..didn't have time to thaw it out so had to set off and naturally as I pulled into work car park out she folded..

Range Rover (full registration "87 T") cutting in front of me, then brake-testing me when I blew my horn. He/she damn nearly caused an accident.
At junction 16 of the M4, I was coming from Swindon direction to turn right at the Spittleborough Roundabout to join the M4 westbound.
I arrived at the traffic lights onto the roundabout before the range rover (so no previous interaction of any sort) and I chose the left-hand of the two turning right lanes. range rover pulls up in the right hand lane. We both keep to our lanes as we go around the roundabout, stopping at 3 or 4 sets of traffic lights. There are two turning right / M4West lanes all the way round. I have my right-hand indicator on for a good part of this time. When the last set of lights change to green we both set off side-by-side down the two lane slip-road onto the M4, then for no apparent reason the range rover darts forwards and cuts in less than a car length in front of me; I toot to indicate my annoyance and my presence; brain-dead range rover driver brakes, causing me to brake hard to avoid a crash, then drives on. He tootles off at 80+.
Why are so many range rover drivers idiots ?
Does anyone know the driver of "87 T" ? If so, give them a kick from me.
(PS I was in the Panda, so he/she was probably jealous.)

Given Land Rover’s reliability even in the present day he was probably just checking they still work at all!!! lol
Loading up 12 sq/m of floor onto the back seat of the Citroen to find the despite checking it would when I put the first pack in the doors wouldn't shut..the 1st pack had fluked in missing the arm rest both sides..however the door was now about 5mm short of closing. I then had to heft it all back out and re pack through a folded seat..
Today's learning would be..despite looking too short it's actually perfect length for laminate loaded from the back..but not across ways..also laminate gets heavy after you've loaded and reloaded it 3 times..

Broke my locking pliers - had set them a wee bit too tight to put a caliper spring back on - damned thing sheared and hit me in the head with enough force to send me backwards :bang:
