Yep, gossip mongers suck.  Ignore them and maybe feel a little bit better that you shone a light on their boring life.

The dog that attacked my cat and resulted in the old fella getting 5 broken ribs. I Bought him, the cat, over from the uk - possibly the only creature in the universe I actually get on with.
 
Very bright cat, can be completely evil but loves me to bits. He was always getting in to scraps as a kitten and usually would end up worst off as he's only small. He's an old man now.
 
Watching our female cat go over to him, scared and worried inching along on her tummy as to not frighten him so they could touch noses broke my heart. They say animals have no feelings like us - rubbish.
 
Get well soon you silly old sod.

Sounds like the crappy commute I had today. First off being almost being hooked by a car steaming through a junction just to get 25 meters up the road 5 seconds quicker. Followed by a transit van steaming through the same junction who did not bother with the give way rules - lucky we both braked - for me.
 
This is a usual occurance and other stuff includes abuse hurled my way or distracted drivers either chatting or even sometimes texting on their phones, p*ssed up drivers, drivers who try to intimidate me by using their transport as a weapon, (I won't mention the company that this driver so professionally represented). Getting buzzed or almost "doored".
 
There are dicks who drive there are dicks who ride bikes. Both car drivers, (the herd as I like to affectionately call them), and cyclists have the right to use the road safely.
 
I reckon the roads would all be a bit more safer if people got a grip and did not lose the plot over something that sounds like an inconvience to me. Mind you I always feel that driving brings out the worst in some people.

just to add to my gripe 4 of the riders were riding on the wrong side of the road to get passed a queue at the lights, on avoided the oncoming traffic by jumping onto the footpath.....if I'd been doing the same in my car the cops would be involved. Number 5 was simply diging his bike on a crossing when he's supposed to be walking it accross - so not so much of a biggie.

Personally I like busses where I can squash up against complete strangers and listen to conversations and try and not get sneezed or coughed on.
 
Edit: Some people pay really good money for this.  I only pay about $3:60 or whatever it is for 3 sections on Snapper.

It's as if they ride out wide to bait you into getting too close or hitting them.

Pedestrian crossings are for pedestrians not for cyclists riding their bikes across.

Hearing my car start up, running outside just in time to see some c**t driving off in it.

Police found it the nest morning, they had taken the battery, radio, speakers and a whole host of stuff in the back seat and boot. Oh, and the c**ts also took my radiator cap, i mean what the f**k!!

Stupid c**ts.

Two issues:

1. Drivers entering a roundabout signalling right & going straight though.

2. Going through doors & holding it for the person behind me without so much as a "thanks". Usually they're younger women. I guess their parents never taught them common courtesy or they haven't developed any.

The Hot Springs Spas ad on TV at the moment.

"Hot Springs Spas will provide you with years of worry-free maintenance".

WTF?

Why do I want years of maintenance? Even if it is worry-free maintenance?

And you want me to PAY to get years of maintenace work?

While we're on the subject of ads, and as we close in on "Winter" (the whole summer was winter)
it means we're likely to see more of those highly expensive, beautifully shot ,beautifully produced, environmentally friendly, eco-sensitive power company ads which you know we'll all be paying for as the power bill inevitably increases.

the utterly fatuous article "stadium woes" in the Dominion Post in the week.



The comment #87 in the replies - https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/sport/6696439/Stadium-woes-Too-dear-too-late-too-cold#comments
has the right idea!

People that worship a Space Bloke, that's never been seen, but is, sometimes heard in people's heads, who lives in the sky, who's son came back from the dead, who was a right bastard, ( that's the dad), intially and then became quite nice because his son was the proto-hippie that control the country and has strange rules that stops me buying beer today.

Yeah I'm sorted too. But it's still a mental thing to have to put up with in this day and age.
 
 
I'm happy if people think that basing your life around the teachings of some bloke talking to vegetation that caught fire 2000+ years ago  is a good thing. That and other various guys who probably never existed, but it should not in this day and age effect me in anyway shape or form.
 
I'd rather we had laws based on Star Wars, Doctor Who or Star Trek to be honest at least they are a little more up to date.

Chris Boardman leaving GB cycling team. We both used to commute along Quernmore Road near Lancaster, although I don't recall seeing him as we did it at different times.
 
 
He has done so much for the sport of cycling in Great Britian and has made GB the best in the world at the mo.
 
Good luck Chris, Quernmore Road is a beautiful ride in with all of it's foxes and Owls and great descent after a days work. I hope you still get the chance to do it now and then.

Was at a match two seasons back and two morons, both injured payers,  were drunk and yelling racist abuse at an offical. I called the club boss, I know him, and asked him to have a word. He did!

Last night I found out that the worse of the two has just joined the club I play for.
