So, it would appear that some posters think I get more wound up than I really do in my videos and when I chat about them. It's understandable as the written word doesn't always convey emotions well (at least not the way I write!)
So from now on I've decided to rate each video on two scores.
1) The magnatom dissaproval scale
This will be a scale of between 1 and 10 which will indicate how annoyed I was with the incident. A score of 1 will indicate very mild irritation. A score of 10 will indicate complete and utter indignation!
2) The magnatom danger, danger! scale
Again it will be between 1 and 10 and will indicate how dangerous I percieved the incident. A score of 1 will indicate that my 3 year old son could deal with it. A score of 10 will indicate even a hardened, hard core, mental cyclist who has a black belt in judo and is made of bricks can't deal with it
!
So for example this would score:
Magnatom dissaproval = 3
Magtatom danger = 3
It annoyed me a bit (in the tunnel esp) but no more than mild irritation
and this would score:
Magnatom dissaproval = 8
Magnatom danger = 6
This was way out of order and I reported it to the police, but as I had room to my left to escape into if needed then the danger was not as high as it might have been.
A quick look through my videos I don't think I've ever been above a 6 in danger and 8 in dissaproval.
So will this help?
