whats pissed you off today?

[Edd]

today crap goings on ....

The neighbours

This is a ongoing problem, i have already had to have a quiet word with the chap about the womens treatment of their kids after another neighbour stopped me to raise his concerns, initially i thought its not of my business but it was boarder line abuse.

Today i get a continued knock at the door until i answer, as im laid up with kidney stones it took a while for me to answer, ' my lad has kicked his ball over the fence and i need it back now as im about to go out' im told,
explained that i aint too well and im not going crawling through the garden looking for a ball

This seemed to give the 'women neighbour' the right to launch into some tirade about her mega busy life, how hard it is and 'you dont understand' ffs. IF YOU FIND IT HARD DON'T HAVE 3 KIDS THEN !!!!!!!!!

If she was a bloke i would of just decked out on the front lawn i was fcuking fuming and i cant even have a drink as im on some medication

I really coming to end of my patience with these fools next door


BUT, the Mrs's sister came round shortly afterwards with her Boxxer dog who promptly found the ball in the garden and had shredded the ball to bits, ill chuck it back over the fence bit later

You think you have problems Edd, (hope you're on the mend by the way)

I can't tell you all my neighbour issues yet, but I will soon...................it will be hilairious

Will post it in "What's made you Happy" though when I can tell you all

Having to work on a Sunday when I'm not entitled to overtime pay. 6 hours of my weekend given up for nothing!

Very useful in Wales.... Although that is not a dh rig

Modern cars are ace, I can't bear the thought of a car before my00 as they are just archaic. Saying that there is a time and place for a retrombile.

Today's pissed offness, car hunting.

Personally my interest pretty much stops dead when anything knew what the millenium bug was when it was made

If someone was in a car with me and tried to help me steer, brake, apply the throttle and cut back on my emissions by stuffing one header down the inlet they'd get more than a fukking slap... don't see why anyone puts up with a car trying the same!

They're overweight, overcomplicated, overexpensive and mostly due to stupid laws to try and protect average joe when he decides full lock with foot flat on the brakes is an excellent evasive maneuver.

And if something exploding in your face is so safe, why aren't they fitted to race cars in place of proper structural integrity and capable restraints?

I gotta agree 100%

Chuffing hate traction control on the Asbo turbo, I turn it off every time I get in!

[chrisd1986]

Exactly, i like what i like, so thats what i ride, ive tried newer bikes and i dont get on with them, im going to get something 'newer' but not fully modern, i do want a decent full bouncer, something like a specialized FSR from early 2000's i think, dont get on with disc brakes at all, no matter how good they are, decent well setup v brakes are very good, and magura's are comparable to discs in stopping power, but are easier to modulate in my experience

i had a 2001 fsr and wish i never sold it

[chrisd1986]

Edited for truth
also maguras are awesome! had twin hs33s on my last trials bike, get a good grind on the rim and some good pads and it would hold forever! i miss my trials bike

hell yes hs33's are for winners, i bought a rear one when i was 13 and it lasted me till i sold it on when i was 19. we used to put water in then instead of oil as it never went spongey and i had a grinded rim with clear pads not that the lasted long

Compromise is my guess.
Both in materials used for structure, and the type of restraints fitted to the majority of cars.

Can you really see run-of-the-mill family cars with carbon fibre monocoques, space frames and non-intertia reel seatbelts?

We need crumple zones, and as such, we need airbags. A fixed harness is impractical at the best of times. Not to mention also requiring an appropriate seat.

finding out 10% if not more of this transit I bought is made of filler its going to need a fair bit of attention to get it through its next mot! also bits of rust that looked like patches of surface rust are now holes because I couldn't resist the urge to poke at them
