Catching a teenager about to kayak the Afon Ystwyth. He had no helmet, no PFD, no spraydeck and he was in a decades old fibreglass slalom kayak. He was also alone.
Recipe for disaster right there.

So? If he's idiot enough to do it then he deserves to get hurt.
On that section of the Ystwyth he was more likely to get dead. I consider myself to be a very experienced kayaker but I would never paddle solo, let alone with no safety equipment.
I explained why what he was doing was stupid, and he luckily had some brain power and decided to walk home. He though the river was gentle flowing, and hadn't realised there was a G4 rapid less than 100m downstream.

Grrrrr!!!!! :bang:
All the double time this and over time that, the extra hours and life experiences wasted going to work over the festive period instead of staying home or going out with friends and family have equated to the grand sum of £86!
The Taxman has taken the Payday Fairies and sodomized them with a concrete post. Instead of paying £230 Tax and National Insurance I've been stung £541!
Revolution's the only solution.

Chipping snow n ice off the car this morning for starters. Total prats struggling to see through the letterbox - sized bit of clear-ish screen they scraped yet still juggling phones n fags - where's PC Bacon Breath when you need him? Sipping a Mc coffee no doubt!
Let's not forget natural selection, and the fact that young people take stupid risks. The lucky ones survive to breed, the rest sadly don't.

Apparently I'm a heartless bar steward for not clicking "Share" on a Facebook post about dying of Cancer. People die of all kinds of things. Someone told Biggy there were six million ways. If everyone copied and pasted links and posts about every way either the Facebook servers would melt or you'd die of old age trying to read them all. Look we all know about Cancer the 98% of your friends who don't share the post don't live in a cave on Mars. January is depressing enough without Cancer on your screen. You could just as easily die eating marshmallows whilst playing with fluffy kittens but you don't post that on your wall do you? Kittens are rubbish at performing the Heimlick maneuver. If you're choking on marshmallow and only have kittens to help you simply can't depend on their assistance.
It's better than choking on a kitten although I'd rather choke my chicken.
My Exam today didn't go great and i have another tomorrow which is a first ever exam, don't have notes and don't really know what could be asked
The rest of the module has been hands on work like setting up a race car, processing tyre data and calculating the C of G of a sports car...
Also stressed coz i'm about 3 months behind on my final year project
At least the new car is fault free!...:bang: not.
My mk1 Punto is still great though! minus the intermitent starting - pinon gear not always engauging (easy fix), it's still faultless

Got an insurance qte this evening. Lady was really very nice and competent. But the notion that I had modified the vehicle without being a qualified mechanic was treated as if I had done shoddy work on Sizewell B with an adjustable spanner.
Probably made her grumpy too thought she was getting a sale till you mentioned that!
Insurance underwriters are very twitchy about insuring someone's possibly half arsed mods when they are in the frame for anything or anyone you may hit/kill. Remember this guy?

That's aweful, I would hardly want my kids (if I had any) in an old car let alone one that's been modded in such a bad way.
Im grumpy for the same reason I'm grumpy on every other Wednesday for me though, I have been college and done 10 hours of engineering Maths and science related subjects.
3 year old boy missing in Edinburgh on the new, not good you would think some one would have spotted him by now, you don't see 3 year old's out on their own no more so he should stand out
