Web spam but we nuked yet another one....

[LoopyLee]

Hacked off (is that a normal expression?)

It is where I come from

Still no sign of the kitty, and its been 2 weeks now..

Yesterday on the way home I was filtering past some very slow moving traffic when some pillock in a car decided I shouldn't be able to get through faster than him and decided to pull over to try and stop me getting past!!! Unluckily for him there was still plenty of room for me to be able to get past

(From a non-hacked off point of view I went out for the grocery shopping today.. and came home with a Guinea Pig she's the scruffiest looking little piggy I have ever seen and I fell in love with her.. I got her home, sorted out her new house and popped her in.. then had to go back to the shop and buy another one as she looked all lonely!!!!)

Thankfully likes small fluffy things.. and all he says now when I walk through the door with another box is "What you bought now?" and then gets whatever it is out for a cuddle

So far we have

1 Dog
1 (now) Cat
1 Rabbit
1 Hamster (very cute - added by my daughter when I went out of the room!!!)
2 Goldfish
2 Guinea Pigs
and 12 rats.. (we used to have 35 rats but they are getting old now and dying off )

Sorry for thread jacking everyone

Ive got three dogs (mongrels) and a parrot - oh I forgot the wife and children - I hope they don't read this

1 = Rottweiler + Border Collie - 8 Months old
2 = Alsation + Dobleman - 16/17 years old
3 = Collie + more things than I can remember - 4 years old
4 = African Grey Parrot (Grey and Red)
5 = wife and the kids

My last dog i had to have put down due to cancer, growths and old age was an amazing 21 - I must be doing something right

Back to the topic - I hate it when people leave their indicators on so you think they are going to turn but nope they carry on - They think your in the wrong for pulling out! I think that is a very large thing that can lead to accidents.

In addition to riding motorcycles, cages and all sorts of things, i ride a bicycle now and then. We have bike lanes dedicated to cycles, but im not sure why as cars seem to think its for them too. The good thing is that my pedels are made of metal (i believe aluminium or steel) so if they get too close i leave them with a nice juicy scratch on their beloved cars!

It Mosies over here, especially during the rainy season, which is driving me nuts this year. When those bastar*ds get inside your helmet they turn your head into a living pin cushion.

Loopy I was going to list all the pets my family used to have, but you had me at the 35 rats. There's no way I could top that.

Ahh now I know what he mean't - I was like midgies

Yeah I suffer from their attacks quite oftern, but luckily I haven't had one in my helmet!

He is one hell of a dopey dog - He finds it amusing to chew/demolish through anything and everything. Last week he managed to chew not just the shoe lace, but the whole trainer (which I must add was brand new) and then finds time to attack the tree in the garden and tries to bring in the biggest branch he can find (doesn't fit through the door)

Dogs eh?

(Ive added a few pictures of when he was a puppy)

We were taught to go curb to curb for right turns. Dont give the idiot a chance to come between u and the curb cause they will try it. he might have thought u were turning left despite ur signals because of ur road postion. Dont give them a chance to fvck with you, and like its been said before, ride like ur in GTA and everyone is trying to run u down.

[LoopyLee]

today was the pi**ock who decided to shoot straight out of a turning right in front of me, forcing his way into the traffic..

themidget2k6.. we drive on the other side of the road over here

rain has pissed me off today

Geeez! Can't compete with that little zoo. All we have is 2 Staffie dogs, one older,one a pup. Had to move the bike off the back patio because the pup decided to chew the tyre valves for me.
What gives me the trots is a reasonably new rule here on roundabouts that you must signal your intention to exit said roundabout. Fine except that some people don't know how to negotiate one at all and now they are useing their indicators with every movement of the steering wheel, so even if they are going straight through they signal left, then right, then left again. What happened to, if you're turning left, signal left. If you're turning right , signal right. If you're going straight through there is no need to use any, simple.

People hacked me off today. Today I'm reminded of an old saying, which holds more truth with each passing year:
"The more people I meet the more I love my dog!"

Believe me, Loop, that happens at the very least four times a day here. The frustration is outrageous. But then all you get is a glazed, blank, gormless expression or one of utter contempt when you look at the other drivers, so there's clearly no point in trying to get through to these people. It's strange because Thais are ordinarily very non-confrontational. However, put them in a car and everything changes

That's what being a pup's all about and, I believe, what endears us to them. He's a sweet looking beast, Twin. I can totally see why you have him.

Insects, in particular insect bites.

Got bit by something on my knee cap last wednesday, by sunday it was so swollen I can hardly walk on my knee, turns it turned into a staph infection and has moved into the knee joint. Antibiotics are fine but I wound up needing pain meds too...stuff makes me feel ick and I hate trying to stay awake for 10 hour workdays right now.

[LoopyLee]

today.. nothing has hacked me off

[Twincam]

Driving my cage (I know but I can't really haul a set of alloys, headlamps and random parts on the back of my blade) today, people pull out in fast moving traffic, and then continue to drive slow so everyone is affected

The other thing is when they slow right down, and then signal to turn right at the last minuite - it's like i'm not a f*cking mind reader - the funny thing is they believe im in the wrong...

there, i'm all done, i feel much better now.

I agree the roads do suck in about all of Europe kind like North Philly. the taxes go torward paid vacations for congress/government. Did anyone know that the City of Brotherly Love Philadelphia has a "City wage tax." The city taxes how much you make. So theres Federal, State, SS, Medicare and good old city wage now. I shouldve stayed in MD

If they bumped it up that much for personal car journey's then we'd be a lot safer riding our bikes, that for sure. I reckon 75% of the road traffic would be gone
