You need some tizer @Tristan , sugar rush for the win. But I do think I've had enough peopling for one year. Obviously cgti friends excluded, its just numpties most places, especially supermarkets it seems, where someone didn't want to wear a mask as other people should be vaccinated. Shepherds hut in a field with a big workshop becomes more appealing every week.
Numpties is the spot-on description for people like that and rest assured, an ocean and the better part of a continent away, it's the same old story. The human gene pool appears to have endless capacity to produce numpties. The more concerning thing for me is that the numpty to normal ratio appears to be increasing.
A real licence (mine from 1984)... none of your fold out paper / plastic card nonsense. Son's just got his own provisional one, surprised they don't issue them as an app. nowadays!
"Care, Courtesy and Consideration" - Becoming rarer commodities these days (and not just on the roads)
Just can't be arsed with people in general lately. My social Lead acid battery has been drained too much and will never fill again Distanced myself from lots of old "friends" during lock down and don't regret it one bit
It might just be me but I think folks like us who are into older cars/VW’s and can happily work away servicing, fixing, repairing and restoring them, well we don’t need a lot of ‘people interaction’ Whatever else they may do - old cars won’t make it a mission to f$$k you over every chance they get.
Barr's Red Cola - now that's a sugar rush! There seems to be a self entitlement attitude with people.
And that is why when we have moved to the last house on the way out of a small village I shall build a 7.5mx7.5m garage, as far from the house as possible. Once inside I shall lock the doors, wire the door handles to the mains, and finally take one uninterrupted breath.
I like it, go as long as you can before putting that stuff up. Needless to say with young twin boys, my place looks like the approach path to Heathrow and if you stare at the outside of my house too long, it may cause epilepsy.
Maybe you'd be wise to have a notice warning about that, to deter compensation hunters. Similar to how garlic supposedly wards off vampires. Though if someone keeps staring at a house where two youngsters live, that's probably stalking.
I won't be doing that - there are far worse than mine around (which is alarming in itself) Re: Potential stalkers or others of that calibre - they'll have a 90 pound German Shepherd and my 2 pump action shotguns to contend with.
