RideWithStyles Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 not as much now a days as its harder to do but im sure there is still a few including gang jobs and people getting round the ulez's.....makes you wonder... i would like to nominate the lancashire county council blue badge services. with the form filled yet still they failed us miserably. even with the use of their own guide lines of apparently the dft, though from their "WE" reply view is very very much skewed up, so to them dft but really lccbbs, if your not mental unstable (should they be driving?), has no legs, takes medication for it (there is no medication for it), has to have this for x years, on a million pip points..... we will have to struggle for a lot longer because of it. i aint taking that shite lying down from those pompus cretins, will appeal and use the dft guidelines against their own retarded argument now we know what level of GMBT PR bullshite they want to turn on.

Mickly Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I nominate my mate. Rode out for brekkie at the cafe at Hoar park and a gander at the bikes. It was very wet with a couple of sharp showers so we got a little damp. There were not many bikes but loads of people in the cafe. After looking around and seeing many familiar faces without bike gear, my mate started moaning about all the ruffty tuffty bikers who turned to their cars as soon as it gets a bit wet. I pointed out that the majority were all old guys and this is probably the only excuse to escape retired mundanity & talk bollox with like minded mates during the most miserable time of the year. My mate carried on grumbling about it until I told him to just shut the f*ck up - he can be a real knob sometimes, but a good mate most of the time. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinlim Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Last night on M1 M25 and around London, so many people with no lights on around 8pm. Some mysteriously with just fog lights on. Some with front DLRs and no rears and with there being a lot of trucks kicking up spray from the road they are invisible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It's become the fashion around here for local knobheads to drive around with their fog lights on all the time. Feck knows why 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinlim Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Not really a true nob as I felt bad for this guy. Just sat at the start of the motorway waiting on the lights to change. There's a 125cc scooter that taken the on ramp for about 10 yards and is trying to go backwards before the lights change so he doesn't join the motorway. No other moving vehicles about. Anyway, he makes it just in time and scoots off down the side road however there's a police car that just came round the bend as he did the last yard to get off the on ramp. Blue lights go on and they follow him. No idea what happened after. Hopefully the scooter rider felt silly enough in their mistake and they didn't get too harsh a punishment as they didn't get in anyone's way and tried to fix the issue as soon as they realised. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Whoever attempted to kick off my wing mirror last night while I was at work Couldn't quite manage it but they did to the van parked further down road What really pisses me off though is that my wing mirrors are closed so someone took the effort to open them first before attempting to smash it 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianco2564 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Some dickhead who just stepped from behind a parked car into the road in front of me while I was driving home. Even worse he was holding a young girls hand, I nearly took the pair of them out. Good test of my reactions 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideWithStyles Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) i nominate the muppet in a poverty spec black 1 series bmw that i see (well mostly hear) most afternoons on way back home afterwork over the last few weeks with either a very flat tyre or one with about 5psi...the very distinctive rumbling wet fart sound of a flat tyre that they still haven't sorted out... dangerous and stupid.

Have you ever considered telling them? You know, to help them? There is a kid around here very similar and one bit of me thinks help him out, and another side says no f**k him.

Fender1515 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I had an absolute dim wit yesterday, and this is not a generalisation but a specific event! My energy services supplier has been "encouraging" me to get smart meters installed. Umm, some bad stuff in the press, but i guess it's the way to go, I am not great a remembering or being arsed to send in monthly meter readings. Installation engineer pitches up at the prescribed time yesterday morning, starts moaning that my gas supply is on the back wall of the house and it was, hissing down, but first he wants to check all the gas appliances, i show him the gas safety certificate issued 10 days ago, response, don't care mate, i need to check all the appliances, OK fill your boots, oven checked, we have a gas fire in the lounge, never used from one year to the next, but was checked out and passed as fit for purpose 10 days ago, so he gets on his knees, takes a look at the unit and, I don't like the way the coals, imitation type, are stacked, and the unit looks very old, me, it's 10 days older than when it was last checked and passed as being serviceable, what's this got to do with fitting a meter? him, I am going to write this up, me, what your going to do is pack up your kit and exit through that door, him, I got a job to do mate, me, shame you don't know how to do it, i think you need some customer training before they let you again. He promised to report me to his supervisor, I said get him on the phone now, and I will happily have that conversation, he didn't accept and left. I work in the property business, I work with trades day in day out, I can honestly say, we get on fine, most of the trades I have worked with for years, they are pals, this guy, arrogant arse, but feel free to make up your own minds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
