KnightswoodBear Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I had a moment of blind panic today when I went for a pish at work and realised I'd put my boxers on back to front. The morning shite was an absolute doddle though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was secretly hoping the referendum was a Yes and we could rename the country Aardvark for this very reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've written a strongly worded letter of complaint but I've no idea where to send it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 ... or when you scroll right down expecting to find United Kingdom only to have to scroll back up to hopefully find a Scotland amongst your Swazilands etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've written a strongly worded letter of complaint but I've no idea where to send it. "Team GB" in the Olympics must have been annoying for Northern Irish people, as the name doesn't actually give them any representation at all. Why they couldn't just call it "Team UK" is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Usually enjoy a leisurely drive to work, but had to get the bus today. Forgot how much I dislike it. Didn't have the exact change, sore soaking wet, cannae see out the windows due to condensation, schoolkids, auld wifies, people with their headphones too loud. And the fecker seems to go round every scheme stopping at each and every hole in the hedge. Even the free Metro rankles me. Bus wankers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev23 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 There doesn't appear to be a things that absolute boil your blood thread so I'll make it petty. Last Friday my girlfriend was waiting at a junction in Asdas car park, Dunfermline. Someone who worked at the asda had just finished and was doing 30 mph, it's a 10 zone I am sure, in the car park and tried to cut over my girlfriends side of the road not seeing her car and absolute destroyed it. He admitted it was his fault on the day and gave over his insurance details. Everything seemed to be going fine over the phone over the last few day. Until today when the police came over and said he had changed his mind and that he wasn't to blame. Now she has to go to the station. Now I don't have a clue about anything like this but with there being no witnesses, is it pretty much a pointless case arguing? I'm absolute fuming at the guy. Would it be reasonable to pull him out of Asda and rattle a trolley off his puss? As I said I don't know anything about how car insurances work so this might be common and I'm over reacting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the Police are involved they'll obviously over look someone assaulting one of the parties involved in this traffic incident. Go to the station with her, let her tell them what happened, how he admitted that it was his fault etc etc. The idea about Asda providing any cctv footage is a good one but would they just hand it across to a member of the public? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police will ask themselves; worth pointing that out to them. Although I'd be surprised if they haven't already. Get a wriggle on though, as who knows how long they keep the recordings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the boy worked at ASDA he's probably already found out it wasn't recorded, thus him denying responsibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
