    When you get a new bird and you're at her place and you really need a dump and / or fart
    I remember those days, it's almost as of your body stores your noisier grunts for the evening. There is only one way to tackle this and its head on.

    Motorists who get frustrated by and/or drive like pricks around learner drivers. We’ve all been there ffs!
    Agreed we’ve all been there, but don’t schedule lessons for rush hour. I never did that.

    Is the wrong answer. Should driving instructors not be able to earn a living just because you're busy? Should learners have to wait longer between lessons? Don't learners have to be able to learn in rush hour, anyway? If your rush hour commute takes too long, perhaps you should be the one modifying your behaviour and get a job where you can do your travelling at times when its more convenient.

    They should. Just don’t do it in rush hour. There are certain times I can’t ‘earn a living’ too. What do learners learn sitting in traffic? I wouldn’t call that getting value for money. Thanks but it doesn’t take too long, it takes around 10/15 minutes.

    Confused by what is sexism!
    if I were to suggest housework, ie: vacuuming, polishing furniture and general cleaning duties were my wife’s responsibility, that would be deemed sexism? 
    But a woman can say to a man, is your wife’s birthday when a man does these things around the house and it’s deemed a joke? 
    Maybe this should be in the “Getting old” thread

    Just show her the back of your hand and have a beer on the sofa mate.

    They learn to be patient drivers. If you can't be patient, you shouldn't be behind a wheel.

    People who keep complaining about traffic congestion / queues / delays.

    You are part of the problem, you should be apologising to the person behind you for holding them up ! 

    What is annoying is the amount of “accidents” on the roads...

    Definition of an accident is “ something that happens unexpectedly and is not planned in advance” which is by the letter correct, but not too unexpected if tailgating, speeding, driving irresponsibly, not concentrating, tired, etc. I have no data whatsoever but if you are doing any of the above then it shouldn’t be that unexpected and “accidents” would be far less if not doing above.

    Anyways got stuck on the M25 for 2 hours on Thursday and had a proper internal moan up and didn’t apologise once to the guy behind.....

    It’s not really about patience. I am extremely patient. I just don’t appreciate getting stuck behind one on the way to work or worse, 5pm Friday when I just want to get home and start the weekend. I don’t know what’s so difficult about not learning or working during rush hour Monday to Friday.

    Maybe that is the only time of the week that the Learner can get trained to drive. I cannot say I have ever thought about it much when behind a learner and what time of day it is but if it does annoy you maybe you haven’t as much patience as you thought?

    If they are learning then maybe just accept it for what it is and do not get agitated?

    If it's 10-15 mins and your getting aggy about a learner I reckon you need to lighten up.

    It's not really the point is it, if you pay per hour to learn you wanna practice practical skills to pass your test, you learn how to be a good driver after you've passed.  Use the back roads

    Took my daughter to the Doctor this morning as the rash she had over the weekend had got worse. Turns out she's got shingles. I didn't know kids could get it and the doc said it's probably only a matter of time before we get it too.

    Didn't think you could catch shingles from another person, but you could get chicken pox from a shingles sufferer if you haven't had it already.
    You're daughter has my sympathy, can be really painful

    Apparently contact with the rash can transmit it.

    Other than being a bit tired she's fine at the moment. When the doctor told her she'd have to stay off school all week, she looked at me and said "Yay"

    Give her her our best wishes, stumbled across this the other day. I’m sure  she’ll be chuffed to see it now she’s grown a bit. ;)

    Ordering a pizza on line. All they need is the card details and the delivery address.
    So it's peanut butter on toast for me then.

    I'm guessing it's to do with them getting all the card details and the delivery address. Despite the security measures that have to be in place for a website to take the card details.... Which usually result in a website using an entirely separate portal through an API - often direct to SAGE etc or your own bank.

    I was driving in rush hour today and got stuck behind a learner driver. Fortunately they were very good and didn't hold anyone up at all. Pity I can't say the same for the white van man who insisted on parking right opposite some traffic works causing a hold up or the taxi driver who cut me up just before a set of lights, leaving me to wait as they changed to red. It's about time these trades people with poor driving skills were stopped from scheduling business during this important time.
