M3. For the third time this week the m3 had been fucked up. I don't even have to use it, but alll the traffic that does then hits the local roads and they come to a complete grinding halt.

THIS

Because of the M3, 3 accidents including one on a slip road made Wednesdays work rather touch and go for me. I did make it to drop off and pick but only just and with some rather last-minute dive-in and go planning.

Edit* I notice you posted this yesterday. Is it still them same?

Also, tried to update the TomTom and managed to fuck that up. Now TomTom won't select a map without some error coming up, even after trying to reload the back up files. Great. Still, I have the old NavMan to back me up when I go back to work.

I asked them on facebook and they would not divulge. Sadly its a sad matter that I have to ask the guy about (and one that I'll probably end up smashing his face in for if he's not dead), so possibly best that I can't, I just want to vent really...

Join one of those local nostalgia Facebook groups, contribute for a while then drop it into the conversation. 'x-shop was very different then, what was the manager's name again? ' sort of thing.

Alternatively, Will Cleland has talked about his e-stalking skills before, see if he can come up with anything.

If your mum doesn't want to say anything to anyone then it might be best to stick with that although it's very understandable you want to right some wrongs. From what I have seen at family weddings and funerals dragging up the past can cause a lot of grief and just supporting your mum as best you can is likely the best course.

He is apparently the reason my mums a bit fucked up in the head. The therapy is bringing it out if her, but there's still more she hasn't told me apparently. Id imagine he's dead now, but I'd like to meet him... My dad's got some explaining to do as well if I ever pluck up the courage to ask him, but don't want to yet anyway as mum did ask me not to say anything to anyone, which is mainly why I'm venting on here!
Just polished a dyson though, so feeling a bit calmer now!

Request a directors report for the business. I think it's online.

The therapy will be stirring a lot of things up, this will continue for some time before things start to resolve.

Support her rather than wanting to kill some shop manager bloke.

Therapy can be a rough experience, good luck to her.

Thanks for the sensible words chaps.

Im gonna leave her for now, your right shes 20 sessions into an open ended course (the therapist guy got authorisation from his manager to open end it, it's quite good from the nhs), and all sorts is being stirred up.

Im just angry that somewhere out there is someone who raped my mum, and theres probably not alot I can do about it...

Someone appears to have hit the tailgate of the Primera somehow. It's buckled the "notchback" bit quite badly on one side, to the extent that the spoiler (which I found laying on the ground behind the car) won't fit any more.

I've removed the remaining spoiler fixings and stuck gaffer tape over the holes for now - I'm probably going to fill them with wob from the inside eventually. I don't think a boot spoiler is an aerodynamic necessity on a car with 150bhp. It's annoyed me though - it's not the end of the world as the Primera was already a bit battered, but you don't do that kind of damage without noticing you've done it, and whoever it was obviously just fucked off.

I also found the driver's door mirror of the Saab had been knocked and the glass broken, but that was partly my fault for forgetting to fold the mirror in when the car was parked on a narrow road that lots of tractors drive up.

Final grump - I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my computer. The new one runs on Windows 10.

It seems that all the twats have been out in force this week.

18,091 · July 30, 2016

no body likes windows 10.

its one saving grace is that it's not as shit as windows 8.....

i personally think every thing since windows 3.11 was a mistake.

27,997 · July 30, 2016

It was worth upgrading to 10 just to register your PC as eligible, yesterday was the last day it was free. You can then roll back, and if 10 gets better for you in the future you won't have to pay.

Re the Primera, that's utterly shit. Looks like a lot of force has gone into that so I hope whoever did it gets some really itchy spots on their genitals.

I think it was Monday, Wednesday and Friday that it lost two of the three lanes in one direction or the other. Wednesday it was closed for a couple of hours for the air ambulance to land.

If you actually want to get anywhere you have a better than 50% chance if you don't use it. Delays on Friday were two hours according to roadworks.org.

Windows 10 is fine, it's not Mac good but a leap forward once you get used to it. Why they feel the need to move stuff for no point is beyond me as it just pisses people off. But overall I like it (but still hate windows overall).

27,997 · July 30, 2016

Hay Fever.

You know how most sufferers get itchy eyes, sneezes, snot, eye goop and all that? Yeah? Not me.

I get a constricted windpipe - like an allergic reaction or something. It's actually fine in the day, but at night when I go to bed my pillow becomes a fucking pollen-fest, and I start struggling to breathe. I was awake at 5am , which woke Mrs_P up, and even though I was drifting in and out of sleep from then until getting fucked off with it about 10am and getting up she then couldn't sleep because of the horrific sounds of me trying to breathe. I'm maxed out on anti-histamines, tried washing my hair before bed and changing the pillowcases daily, vacuuming the bed.

Stupid fucking plants. I'm now eating more meat in the hope that more animals equals less greenery.

Would an asthma inhaler help?

27,997 · July 30, 2016

Maybe.... I did go to the doctors last year, but by the time I got there I was breathing OK as it seems to be a lying-down thing and takes a while to develop. So effectively I got fobbed off like a garage would, "well there's nothing wrong at the minute so come back if it happens again". Without the doctor kipping on the end of the bed, that's not going to work.

I don't know whether they need to know what sort of things are going off to prescribe something for it, maybe "it feels like someone is strangling me" is too vague.

25,808 · July 30, 2016

...it seems to be a lying-down thing and takes a while to develop... "it feels like someone is strangling me"...

Key points, right there. I'm not going to suggest you might be carrying a bit of timber because you will quite rightly point at me and laugh, but...

27,997 · July 30, 2016

I don't get fatter when the sun is out and people are mowing lawns though, I'm always fat

It's also specifically the windpipe, I get a really itchy sensation on the outside of my neck as well as the wheeze.

Utter cuntery to do that damage and just fuck off without leaving a note

Probably thought "fuck it, it's just an old banger" just like the waste of oxygen that scraped the rear corner of my van in my work's car park a few weeks ago

Hanging them up by the bollocks is too good for them

18,101 · July 31, 2016

Their bollocks are probably too small to get a decent loop of rope around them in order to hang 'em.

I've had asthma for decades and was on blue and brown inhalers but had trouble when exercising a good 7 years ago, so rather than explaining it to the doctor, I recorded my breathing whilst I was running and played it back to them...it worked, I'm on better meds and for the first time in my life I have had blue inhalers go out of date before they're empty.

My friend Betty (84 years old) is off to Derriford hospital tomorrow ready for surgery Tuesday morning... open heart job! I am worried.

I'd enjoy trying.

Where are you based wuvvum? Ive got a tailgate that colour that i would swap as this car is destined for the oval.

26,933 · July 31, 2016

If he's not close, where are you and I'm sure the autoshite relay service can kick into action!

27,997 · July 31, 2016

I believe Wuvvum is Norfolk-ish.

26,933 · July 31, 2016

Unless your the other side of Oxford then I can't help to bring it closer

6,277 · July 31, 2016

Fuckwits have done the bus shelter again. WTF is this supposed to be? Looks like a 3 year olds picture of mummy.

Use piano wire.

They wouldn't even think about it if she wasn't going to be ok with the anaesthetic. Hope she does well.
