Grumpy old man day

[slofox]

Today must be "Grumpy Old Man Day", eh.

Here's coz why...

1. Wireless keyboard my arse. Last time I ever buy one of those useless pieces of garbage. Every five bloody minutes it asks for new batteries even though I put new ones in yesterday. And if I play a shooter game on it, I keep getting blown to smitherbits when the "move" key fails to work. Fukkit. I'm going back to wired.

2. Fuckwitted drivers (ok I know that's normal). e.g. School bus driver, in a 100k zone, decides not to stop for oncoming bike (me). Mum dropping kid off pulls out in front of oncoming bike (me again). Every fucking vehicle in the roundabout has non-working indicators and tries to take out bike (still me)...Honest to god, local driving standards are appalling (yeah, we know that too).

3. I shoulda stayed home but I need the sales...


ANYHOO - Scumdog, Rastuscat and any other coppers on here, can't we PULEEZE do something about the misuse and non-use of indicators - especially in roundabouts. Fucking deathtraps at the moment...

Rightyho, rant over. Back to work all you lot.

Thanx, I thought the two digit salute appropriate as well .

I've been getting great results with telepathy. Oh and wireless keyboards (must be the way you are holding your tongue)

Hmmm - haven't tried telepathy. Might see how it goes. Can't be worse than the status quo...

Tongue huh? I tried pushing me willy to the other side but it didn't seem to make any difference...

I have a logicool wireless mouse and keyboard and apart from the mouse every few months the keyboard hasn't had one set of batterys

What are you doing?

Indicators ..over rated , they just fool you into a sense of security ,, and as they are orange only an intention , over rated

No WIFI ,,...theres a mystery ,,,,,

If the 2 digit version doesn't work you could try flipping them an open connection on port 79.

That reminds me. A while back I was driving back from New Plymouth thru Whanganui [sic] with Mrs Jelly in her used-to-be-a-boy-racer-car-but-now-the-boys-wouldn't-be-seen-dead-in-one Mazda Infini. A cop followed us all the way round the southern edge of town and I didn't go more than 1 km/h over the 50 k limit for what seemed like an eternity. As soon as the speed limit increased I accelerated briskly and a little noisily, but said copper pulled me over. "What the hell could he have got me for?" I thought. "You didn't indicate at the roundabouts, sir," he said. "Well, I was going straight through," I replied. "Yes, but you should still indicate left as you leave," quoth he. "Fair point," I said, "I normally do, [this is in fact true] but there didn't seem any need at the roundabout's I've just been through."

He gave the standard indicating-at-roundabouts pamphlet, and now I am pretty consistent about indicating left out of roundabouts, much to the disgust of Mrs Jelly, who already thought I was far too conformist. But, seriously, why me, why then, when no-one else in the country follows that rule. He was just bitter about not being able to ping me for something.

Harassment, it was. Harassment, I tell you! Though not all that serious, I have to admit: 0.2 on a scale of 0-10.

big ups to the cop providing the cop is consistent. Can we please have said officer transferred down our way the local cop shop is next door to the main roundabout and still most of the vehicle pilots can not get it right.

I did that the other night. Hit the hazard button and could not work out how to turn it off

Tried everything I could think of, I was sitting in the gas station at the time. Just as I was about to admit to having to ride home "flashing" a biker mate stopped in. He also rides a Suzuki and I asked him if he knew how to turn them off?

Apparently it is that big RED button on the bars

What a dork
