South Lanarkshire Jag Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yeah I mean once I get used to it, I am mainly using it to get the hang of working up and down the gears, timing, etc. Also for a bit of practice with the manouvres. I think I was getting used to it by the end though and dare I say my dad was actually hindering me, he is used to driving in a different way and tbh he was telling me different stuff from what I've been taught, anyway I'm fairly confidant next time wont be a calamity. Ignore your dad. Follow your instructor. That way we won't pick up bad habits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Ignore your dad. Follow your instructor. That way we won't pick up bad habits. Yeah I made sure to tell him and all. Another thing he did to annoy me was to put the handbrake on at a junction, now I had it all under control, foot on the brake, it was flat and I was going nowhere, with no need for the handbrake. First time I've ever told my dad off. Shoe on the other foot and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy85 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Lazy colleagues. Whoever was working yesterday decided not to bother doing the pregnancy tests and left them to me. Which means in my hungover state I'm having to dip sticks into containers of pish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11thHour Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 When you go into the shitters at work, there's six of them all empty so you pick one and lo and behold some dick comes in and sits in the trap fucking right next to you. Add to that the fact that you've forgotten your earphones and so have to sit through the sounds and smells of him skittering out his boiled egg madras. Every wretch is greeted with the moan of a man who can only be too glad that last nights dinner is finally exiting his arse but the ringsting is getting increasingly worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Had to book transport from London to Glasgow on short notice for my wife and I and in order to save some cash for our holidays we plumped for the bus over the train or a plane. Needless to say that 6 hours into the journey we're seriously regretting it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Psychosis Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Just think of it as an adventure.... We've been stuck in central Manchester traffic jams for over an hour. Turns out that between our two drivers neither knows where Manchester bus station is or is able to understand the instructions from the sat nav. Total fucking farce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 We've been stuck in central Manchester traffic jams for over an hour. Turns out that between our two drivers neither knows where Manchester bus station is or is able to understand the instructions from the sat nav. Total fucking farce. I done that trip last week. Except our driver took the wrong turn just before Kilburn and we circled North London for an hour before he yelled at a Red bus driver to ask if he could follow him through rush hour. Madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Do you have GPS or Google maps on your phone ? If so, give the drivers a hand. The problem seems to be finding the "right" bus station. We've been to one already but apparently we need to go to the other one. Only they don't know the name... several people have offered help but the drivers seem more interested in blindly following their own sat nav and their own garbled instructions from control rather than listening to people who might actually have a clue... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 So I miss my bus to work this morning (it left 10 minutes early) . I then get on a different bus thinking it goes where I wanted to get to, now I would have been on time, but it turns out there are 2 different routes, same number different destination. Needless to say I ended up being half an hour late for work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints1884 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Burst water pipe in the street. Not one of the people that live in the street thought about calling Scottish water about it,the idiot up stairs was home all day and just stood outside chatting to her mate in the street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The bug I developed last week shows no signs of abating and has now moved onto the vomitting stage. Still went to work all last week, but couldn't get there today as I can't hold anything down. I hate missing work and I'm bored shitless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
