    Get yourself one of these...

    https://www.micro-mobility.com/en/experience-micro/microlino

    Nobody will hear more than an electric humming and the wheels. You could put a big smile on the front and big eyes with looong lashes. The mirrors, ahem lights could use a little bit of bling and could triple as ears.:)

    At least it would fit your avatar and everybody will smile at you.;)

    People not using their indicators while driving. Is it really so hard to let other road users know that you intend to turn off or change lane?

    I used to be annoyed by vertical video. I think many people were.

    It got to the point where it got so much exposure that people generally became aware of it being an unacceptable way to film.

    Unfortunately this gave birth to a far greater monster.

    I'm talking about how now people will begin recording vertically before being hit by the thought 'oh yeah, vertical video', switching it to horizontal, and the whole video ends up being processed sidewards.

    Me bleedin' neck :(

    You wouldn't believe what I encountered earlier on the way home from work.

    A runner out for his regular routine. No biggie usually. Only he was running towards traffic on the shoulder of a MOTORWAY with the intermitting flashing light from those miners lamps that are in vogue at the minute as his only visual aid.

    Some people. And yet no change in the by-laws of the rules of the road affects him.

    I bet he's only 'training' for a 5K fun run that everyone else enters for the charitable aspect too.

    I never have, and never will eat an avocado. Purely because of their association with hipsters and fad diets. When I see an avocado all I can think of is some greaser in brown shoes with no socks, a man bag, some cool haircut, and a takeaway coffee.

    Life can certainly be scary, but also exciting, fun, enjoyable, fulfilling and many other positive things too. Try not to let the fear of life diminish the positives.

    My TA is that despite all the good things in life, it's mostly mundane.

    Last day for submitting potential projects was wed, as they are closing today I'm hoping I'll get the yea or neigh today, so I can start some research on it to save my sanity over other ppl's christmas break. So far no sign, I get ppl are working at sub par atm and some have other things to do today, but c'on, yea or neigh and put me out of my misery.

    The ta? half afraid its rejected and I have to start the process all over again, but I need to know so I'm not wasting time researching something I cant use. Half afraid they dont and I have to work on it. Its a really stressful stuff to do.

    *Kerosene still not arrived.

    I was standing in the check out queue at Dunnes Stores Cornelscourt at 9 am this morning. I thought I was being smart being there so early. It would appear that this is not early at all at all. It was packed.

    The lady ahead of me kept abandoning her foodstuffs on the checkout thingy and running off to pick up something else that she had forgotten. She did this three times. She then waited until she was asked for her payment before searching through her handbag for her wallet. When she was given her change she then separated the various coins in to various pockets in her purse. THEN she started packing her groceries.

    Earlier I had been coughed all over by a plank of an Old Fart whom it seems wouldn't dream of covering his mouth when he coughs. He has never done this in his life and never ever will either.

    It's horrible when you do it in front of somebody else.

    So embarrassing, it's impossible to hide it.

    Also the bus is clearly at capacity and the ass clown is still stopping for people , I suppose all they care about is the bottom line and not about people's safety or comfort.

    Left my deodorant in Leeds because I thought I had some at home. Turns out the only one I have here is a roll on one from Aldi that takes aaages to dry and feels really sticky. And of course I forgot to buy proper deodorant yesterday :rolleyes:

    Not feeling well today. Can't quite put my finger on it but it feels like I'm shaky from low blood sugars. I'll have to crack open the chocolates :p
