Country lane, I came to a complete stop, my friend in the back of my car literally said "he's going to hit you, he's going to hit you, he's going to hit you" and then he did.

Ball ache with insurance companies and all that trash incoming. I'm fairly certain it will come out knock for knock (even though it definatley wasn't) and my already expensive insurance will be even more next year

The only saving grace is that I could drive away, beat the wing with a hammer and the car appears to only have panel damage. (I will check the alignment at work tomorrow). His car ended up with the front wheels facing in different directions !

Gutted for you.

Was it uk? Just for info, if you don't have one, I have a Constat Amiable that's in French and English that I carry just to make sure that I know what the words mean if I need one (cos I know my language skills drop when stressed!!)

Scratty little cunts on even scrattier 'peds delivering cholesterol-laden food from the plethora of shit-in-a-tray merchants that blight every high street to fat fucks who are too lazy to get their morbidly obese carcass into the kitchen to feed their feral offspring.

And all the while getting in my fucking way.

In a similar vein struggling to get through the supermarket car park because of all the people going to Macdonald's & KFC for Sunday Lunch FFS What is the world coming to.

Bit of a moment today. Left home at 4m to start at school at 5.45am. All good. We were driving the manual bus which I've driven before with no issues.

Only today, my arm totally spazzed to the point that I really struggled to change gear and started making errors because I was in more pain than I've had for a few months (and crying FFS!).

No real reason for the new level - the instructor today has a foot held together by metal, so was actually more sympathetic than I expected! At one point he said he'd move the gear lever when I did the clutch. Didn't end up doing that as he found somewhere to pull over a bit sooner than planned so someone else could finish the route to the coffee/brekkie stop.

FFS - not impressed! I hadn't taken any meds in the morning as I've just not needed to for weeks. Sometimes I'll take some paracetamol and ibuprofen at night but not even that very often recently.

So, once I stopped I grabbed the max of paracetamol and half a days ketaprofene (prescribed one morning and one evening). We had coffee and pastry and off we went. Had to drive about 3.5 hours later and took the same again about 20 mins before. I know, basically too much, but not actual overdose. Just can't take any more anti inflammatories today!


We're not driving tomorrow, so don't need major doses, but might go back to a small level for a while to make sure everything settles down!!


Chatting with the instructor, he reckons its the weather but I reckon it's stress of last week and constant altitude changes (like a few days down and a few days up. I'm not normally down from the mountain more than a day (12 or so hours!).

Thing is, it's not the bone. It's the bicep area and muscle pain. The long head bicep was severed and the bit left was 'attached' in the bicep area (the lump that gets called bicep!) but is actually quite close to the deltoid join in the arm. So all the stress of the last couple of weeks will definitely have irritated the area of the deltoid join and the bicep joins close, driving a manual bus (won't have to do that at work, his coaches are all auto!) and being blasé about meds is basically the reason (probably because I've been a bit happier than usual so felt better overall, but still needed meds it seems)

[When I say meds - paracetamol (up to the max dose a day) and either ibuprofen or ketaprofen. Nothing really interesting cos they don't work, but even if they did, probably shouldn't take opiates whilst driving, even if they don't feel like they work! LOL)

But, please universe, don't do that again - having to stop a driving lesson due to pain that was making me cry was a bit shit

General Mayhem, it's full of whinging tossers, I'm back to the politics section.

Just when the world has moved on to USB-C charging cables.

I am sure the wall socket end is still the same.

The Law of the Sod dictates that whatever you have brought won't bloody well fit whatever the hotel has decided to fit.

Yeah, but you're a bird and thus more organised and pragmatic than us blokes. We'd bring a multitool and think it covers all situations.

Obviously not all birds are!!

Todays BMP has been dealing with the fucking French - not in a good way

I didn’t do learning/revising with anyone for the exams because every time I asked someone they managed to find another group to work with. I do get that it’s difficult with a non native speaker. But of the two of us with obvious foreign accents I think I’m fairly easy to understand

Today we have to work in groups. So, after asking questions and being ignored and talked over constantly, I have a bit of a meltdown. One guys walked off, the other backed down and the girl kinda ignored it. The stroppy one was obviously not happy when he came back but hey ho

I’m seriously not happy working in a group that is so fucking dysfunctional! At least the next exercise is solo!!

This is after 6weeks of being interrupted/talked over/cut off pretty much anytime I’m having a conversation with anyone in my group. If I talk to people from other groups it doesn’t seem to happen. Just feels like my group think it’s ok to ignore anything I have to say.

Most French I get on with pretty well. But here?? Not so much


On top of that I found out that the ‘health issues’ a family member (not my brother, another person) has been having are actually a heart attack and now carrying some spray with I strictions that “if that doesn’t work, call 999”

FFS - my family is like the old secret service for sharing in. “It’s need to know and you don’t “



I so want to go back to my mountain and do a snow dance!!

My son's uni rent is due soon, a few weeks back I set up a continuous payment authority on a card when the deposit was paid, all fine and normal so far with the first big payment due on the 10th.
Yesterday they sent him poorly-written email saying it had changed and would be sent a new email today (suspiciously a day earlier than the CPA) with a button to pay. The email even said 'this isn't a scam', yeah right.
The email turns up today, no card payment option and no direct transfer to a named account. The only option was to give way too many details to some American FX company, accept it's very long terms and conditions and then allow it access to my bank account. I think there was an option to print something out to take into my nonexistent bank branch.
Banks spend loads of effort to find ways to make banking more secure then twat companies like this come along and try their hardest to find a way to break it. I guess they stand to save a couple of quid while I'm risking a few thousand accepting their iffy T&C's.

I'm on a roll...
Jakeman's menthol lozenges £1.50 in both Morrisons and Lidl. Sounds fine but in one shop that gets you 160g of sweets and the other 73g.
