Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

I didn't want my car being damaged by HGV's etc that 'fly down' the street. If you want you can post the pic' on
https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/a-pavement-parking-odyssey.229498/, I won't mind.

Does 6 inches really protect the car from HGV's?

Either way, it doesn't excuse partially blocking the pavement: just because people are walking doesn't make their needs less important.

Look at the pavement. Is it blocked? No it isn't!!!

I parked my car on the double yellow lines directly outside my flat at 10am. I need to load it with things too difficult to carry to the disabled bay where I parked last night. Five minutes after parking it a nosy old git appeared, looked round to see if anyone was watching him then gawped at the time on the blue badge clock. I opened my kitchen window wide then slammed it shut, startling him, making him scurry off! God, have these saddos nothing better to do in their lives that look for tell tale opportunities?! 🧐

This is exactly something you would do yourself if your previous posts are anything to go by.

Never mind that do you like the blue badge? I told you I'd get one!

Well done, let me know what to tell the assessment people and I'll apply for one myself.

I often have a twinge in my back also so must be worth a punt, I take it your inability to walk very far has subsided since you can hump large flower tubs around now?

And before the mods ban me again I've said nothing that @Accy cyclist hasn't informed us in his own words.

Anybody who starts talking about their kids/grandkids etc and what they are doing etc. I'm totally not interested so why tell me? I have absolutely no interest in other peoples families. I also dont talk about my own because I dont want to bore people.

I apologise in advance. Every other aspect of my life has virtually ceased so the brats are all I have to talk about!

when quickly googling... how long/high to cook XXXX in the oven? ...only to get results in just feckin' Fahrenheit or Celsius when I've got a gas oven.

Not to mention the American results where they use all the wrong wordinology for things, such as broiling, and broiler

You could always get an oven thermometer. I’ve got a food thermometer for my bread and it has an extension wire and sensor that I can place in the oven for roasts etc. and get an accurate reading on the external display.

I've got one, but seldom use it.

All i really want is the online instructions to have cook for X minutes at 400f with or 200c / gas mark 6 in brackets.

From Fahrenheit to Celsius
Take away 32, divide by nine, and times by five.

From Fahrenheit to Celsius
Take away 32, divide by nine, and times by five.

As expressed in the formula:

-32 (/ 9) x 5 = Burnt dinner

 

[classic33]

Equals burnt dinner.
