Anyone from the UK?

Morning all

greetings. How are you?

 

[KeenVoyeur]

Ahhh, Tuesday... the most... bland of days. The only day of the week with zero personality.

I hope everybody enjoys it, nonetheless!

Nothing bland about my Tuesdays - it's Bin Day!! (Unless there's a Bank Holiday looming and then it might get shunted to Monday or Wednesday )

Life can be good... 5 mile walk in shorts and tee at beautiful Fountain's Abbey this morning. Didn't go commando though.... it is still April after all...

 

[KeenVoyeur]

It's commando Tuesday.

Who else here is commando ?

I would be but I'm wearing a kilt and the girls in the office aren't ready to have a view of my dangly bits

 

[joclfc]

I'm having to clean up and put butter and jam back in the fridge and put stuff in the didishwasher.

I'm the dishwasher in our house

 

[joclfc]

Is it just me?
So you're on a dual carriageway and another car is coming down the slip road. You check the mirror and move across to let them onto the inside lane. Because you were going faster you expect the other guy to let you get past and pull into the inside lane ahead of them. Right? No. The other guy accelerated and sat on the inside lane right next to me, so I've got to either speed up or brake to pull in behind him but by now there's a twat in a Jag on my tail.
He looked like a wanker too: designer stubble, shades but in a beat up Dacia. People are so aggressive on the roads.

I hate men, sorry, not sorry. At least, you managed to get to your destination safely. There's no accounting for idiots behind the wheel.

 

[lingus60]

Ouch! Not only men that do that. Why label us all ffs. Hate anyone that does it. Just to balance it out, a woman nearly killed me in Germany entering autobahn on mobile phone, clipped a truck, hit me head on. Airbags the whole lot.....

Sorry @lingus60 you are right. I shouldn't let my emotions attach to the situation. I obviously do not mean that I hate men here. I think it's just my make up and brain wiring.

 

[Wriggle]

I only hate bigots.
I'm bigoted against bigotry.

Is this why I self loath?

I don't.
I like me or I'd be someone I did like instead.

I think the generalisations stem from reinforcement: so was the guy treating his car as a penis-extension? Yes and he had a re-used condom. So there ya go "Typical Man"
Pulls onto a road, slows down because one of her kids is phoning, lorry behind has to light up his tyres to avoid her... there ya go "Typical Woman".
The one thing I do notice is London drivers. London drivers suffer agoraphobia outside the M25. One glimpse of green fields and they think they're in da jungle, last man standing, fuck you, I gotta M8 Audi

ETA is M8 an Audi or a bolt size?

 

[orangecurious]

evening all... i have coffee and marzipan cakes

I think you and I will be the first put against the wall when the revolution starts.

We'll be there after the politicians, solicitors, financial advisors, traffic wardens, people selling solar panels, people with herpes and vegans. Hopefully they'll have run out of bullets and want burgers for tea.

There’s good and bad people everywhere, regardless of gender. If we keep stereotyping then things will never change.

Yea, but people selling solar panels...

No not my @AmandaKellyUK take me instead!

Wise words @Daisy_Love We're all here to support each other, have a bit of fun, banter, escape from the day to day stuff. Let's live and let live and not extrapolate one bad experience to gang up or stereotype or judge.....

Good point, my financial advisor is very good!

 

[lingus60]

There you go.... you didn't say what gender though

Guess what gender they are?

It’s not just you and it’s not just the uk, there’s a weird competitive thing that comes over people when they’re driving, they were perfectly happy with their progress until it looked like somebody is going to be ahead of them. I’m convinced a lot of the time they don’t even know they’re doing it.
