What a bloody brilliant idea Surf.. do you fancy running for Prime Minister and making it law.. along with huge cuts in fuel costs for already existing bikers only.. no fuel cuts for those who go over to bikes after the changes..

Sadly, there is no way on earth I would the job, not even for all the tea in China - as the saying goes. Do you want the job?

Re: Whats hacked you off today?

I kicked my wifes brother and his girl out of the house today because they are both lazy, irresponsible, and trouble starting bums. He responded by telling me that he "is gonna get my kids". Well the texas castle law came into effect. Between myself, and my dogs (pics are posted here in the pets post) he prolly wont be out of the hospital for a week. Why is it that people think that they own you, in your own house?

Re: Whats hacked you off today?

Beats me - I normally let it just go as half the time its BS, but some days it can't be dropped. Thats when the fun starts...

What did you do to him? Btw, whats the Texas Castle Law?

If someone had a problem with me, she should take it out on me - not target my kids

It really is pretty bad up here man, people pull to the end of acceleration lanes then stop and wait for an opening in traffic getting on the expressway....with a whole line of cars behind them, see stuff like that all the time. No signals cross 3 lanes to get to a ramp all impeding traffic driving under the speed limit in the left hand lane, I have driven in SoCal, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Tampa, Miami, Las Vegas and New Orleans.

Never in my life have I seen the Idiocy that occurs here when a Tulsan gets behind the wheel.

Absolute right to security in your own home Twin, basically any and all force up to shooting someone who enters your home without your permission is acceptable. I think you limeys like to call it our make my day law from the Dirty Harry movie.

Limey's not insulting is it?

Re: Whats hacked you off today?

Now on to what has hacked me off today.

Being told to be at work at 8am, the boss calls in, mind you everyone is waiting on her and says she's running late, she stopped to pick up doughnuts. Only an hour late.

Then working all day on my day off sitting around twiddling my thumbs I resolved 2 issues that could have been handled over the phone with my VPN from the house.

Total time doing work 1 hour. So I didnked around with a couple of applications I have been wanting to implement on our AS/400...yes I know it's called the iseries or power series now but it will akways be an AS/400 to me.

Come home at lunch and my pitbull is pissed that the new puppy had to remain caged for the day. I texted my wife and asked what kind of new furniture she would like. And to top it all off my knees felt good enough to ride to work but it farking had to rain this morning and was supposed to roll in again later and I had no ide when I would be getting off work.

Ok all done I feel better thanks for letting me vent

We need a law like that in the UK. Far too many bad guys getting caught breaking and entering somebody's house and then suing the owners for personal injury. It's insane.

Re: Whats hacked you off today?

I lost my bike key at work today.. so couldn't go anywhere after working for 10 hours.. I turned the shop upside down looking for it, peered under cars out front, stripped the upstairs corrider of filing cabinets, furniture etc and checked everywhere I had gone at 5am when I got in..

Then one of the members of staff came upstairs and lifted his jacket up and lo and behold 'picked' up my key.. I know darn well my key wasn't there when I emptied the chair.. so I think someone was playing silly beggers!!!!
