Mundane News

[classic33]

This has got to be the 2019 Mundane post ever.Near me,they have spent millions on altering road junctions to ease congestion.it is getting mixed reviews.So this morning i went for a walk,to said road improvements.I stayed for 30-40 mins.Standing at various parts of the layout.I can report the following.

Motorists not stopping at lights when they have gone to red.
Motorists stopping when lights are green.
Motorists NEARLY failing to stop when Green man showing and lights at red, at a crossing,i tested that one i had to point to the driver the light colour.
Motorists on mobile phones
Pedestrian old man crossing on a red man,very dangerous sir.
Motorists in wrong lanes.
Motorists cutting up other motorists because of being in wrong lanes
Lots of horn honking
Cyclist going through a red light.
Two cyclists going the wrong way down a one way street.
Motorists having two wheels in one lane and two wheels in another.


So it will be fun next week when everyone is back at work.

Anyone done anything more mundane than that.

Wait until they get it finished, then see what it's like.

I'm correcting English for some safety notices for woodworking machines for a carpentry college in Rwanda, and one of the instructions is:

"Wear tight clothes".

This could be taken the wrong way.

What they mean is "Wear overalls or clothes that are buttoned up and don't have any toggles hanging of'f them"

How would that be squeezed into a short sentence?

How would that be squeezed into a short sentence?

"Wear no loose clothing whilst operating this machine"

"No loose clothing to be worn when using this machine"

Bingo, that's it. Thanks @classic33.

It's on a sign, actually on several: they have one for each of the machines.

Well, I got lucky: not a peep out of anyone in my neighbourhood all evening, and midnight just passed.

Did the fireworks ban make much of a difference this time?

Well, I battled my way through a veritable avalanche of mince pies, whipping cream, eggs, pork pies and tubs of soup to return to CC-land.

Knackered.

Had scrambled eggs and the last of the prawns for supper.

Happy nobber year to all you nobbers too. I've had enough of this decayed decade so I'm off to find my earplugs. It can get bonkersly bangy later on.

Slight tail wind for the last part of the ride home this evening so the Chinese takeaway won - which was a good choice as it turned out that the chippie wasnt open.

 

[Reynard]

Happy New Year to everyone !

2020 seems much the same as 2019.
