Sitting in traffic on the way home yesterday,approaching a roundabout a Porsche cayenne that had been behind me decided that he didn't want to wait any more.

Took the outside lane to go around the roundabout  1 lap to go straight on to beat the traffic joined in behind me,just where he started.

Friend sent me THIS  - at least I haven't had them 'that' bad..... although he thinks otherwise. Saw this and thought of you - was the email!

Swiped than, thanks:)

 

Makes you appreciate the MOT!

Did you do a friendly wave in the mirror?

Didn’t get photo because driving but up in the highlands and loads of the signs have ‘flat earth’ graffitied on the back.

 

The irony of someone writing ‘flat earth’ when the hulking great hills of the Scottish highlands are in view at the same time tickled me more than it should.

Especially around Perth and the same person has done it all the toilets in the Morrisons too.

Just how many toilets are there in the Morrison’s in Perth and why have you used them all?

 

Perhaps your bowel and vehiclular movements are similarly frequent...

Nah just the men's and it's pretty small so go in there once and you've been there a thousand times.

They don't always manage to spell earth correctly, there are a few signs with eatrh and similar on them.

Had a go at making a dovetail joint last night. A bit shit but I’m sure with time I’ll get better at it.

Fair play sir, if I did it, would have a few joints missing and look like a crack heads row of front teeth.

I actually passed Woodwork GCE with one like that.

That's a pretty respectable first effort. Well done that man.

Practicing my woodworking as I’ve decided I’m going to build some drawers for the workshop. I’ve ‘repurposed’ old drawers from the house before for stuff like this but they always seem either too shallow, too narrow, floors not strong enough or just plain unsuitable.

 

Needless to say I’m not going to make it with dovetailed joints, I’ll be making it with screws. I’ll start small with something mounted on the worktops I use at the moment and see how I get on. I was thinking 3 drawers and a sort of tray for keeping sandpaper etc in.

I have just bought a watch for 'charidee' originally it cost £15 I have just paid £30 for it secondhand.

My father would refuse to talk to me but personally I would do it with my router and a jig.

That's a very very impressive first attempt though.

I'm going to buy a 'Bond Nato' when I know what size the lugs are. I feel I can invest £4 on this beauty! :) Never worn a watch on a Nato strap, don't even know how to fit one!

I’m just reading the Waitrose weekend paper thing, and there’s an article on what seems like a brilliant idea. A phone app that allows blind people to call the sighted that have the app for assistance. Eg whilst shopping, choosing a tin from a cupboard or finding something on the floor.

BeMyEyes.

It was a joke , but while we're on the subject I'm on the road early Saturday mornings but since its started getting dark earlier I'm having to leave before 6am to avoid all the twats leaving Hermes then riding down a dark country lane thinking a hi viz vest is all that's needed to keep them alive

Well that’s nothing to do with me and Hundreds of Thousands of others riding to work who are lit up to be seen from space and stop at lights. Stop tarring everyone with the same brush. It’s not a joke when ignorant daily mail reading morons try and run you off the road because “ you’re all the same”.

Who said it was anything to do with you. how do I know you even own a bike.

 

Driving for a living I've seen cyclists ride through red lights almost daily, I'd never seen the video before and thought it was funny so posted it in the what makes you grin thread
