It is .... however all the Greeks are in their winter coats and complaining, whilst us tough Brits are in shorts and T-shirts cos. we is on holiday!
 
The landlord where we stay puts a jacket on when it drops below 25C. Nesh!!!
 
Mr t***yface McSchumacher, the idiot bus driver I had on my journey into Edinburgh this evening
 
Motorway driving again:

1. I'm on the inside lane, cruise control at 70mph. Another car is in slip lane. The driver, instead of matching speed to gap, tries to join at 70mph alongside me. He ends up beeping his horn, expecting me to give way, rather than him adjusting his speed to suit.
2. I'm in the middle lane. Car in front is overtaking a lorry. Lorry in left lane decides to pull out and almost smacks into car in front.
3. Inside lane of motorway. A lot of traffic so we're all slowed to 50mph. Doesn't stop a muppet in a mk4 golf swerving in and out, including hard shoulder and slip lane, just to get ahead.
 
I've had to sit and listen to complaint after complaint about there being no hot water in half the hotel because the company facilities team took nearly a month to get it fixed despite us calling and emailing them daily that the problem was getting progressively worse. Finally we have an engineer on site, he's been here over 3 hours and still thinks he has at least another 2 hours of work left to do, so I'm likely to get plenty more complaints.
 
Trying to get an appointment with my GP!

Rang yesterday to get an appointment and told they now have a system that you ring in the morning for an appointment on the day, so I called back this morning to ask for an appointment.

I was met with sorry your doctor doesn't have a surgery today, I point out that I was told to call back for an appointment today and that the website say's she works all day on a Thursday and that I have seen her on a Thursday before.

Apparently she is in today but "doing other things"

She is then back Wednesday next week before going off on some jollies for 2 weeks, so I have to call again next Wednesday morning.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! :mad:
 
Having a few days off work, and waking at 4am on day 1 feeling like s***. :(
 
WAMY ..... arriving home at 03.40 after an unscheduled 5 1/2 hr delay in Thessaloniki Airport. :rolleyes:
 
At least it was on the way home rather than missing 5 1/2 hours of away time.
 
WAMT is a set of traffic lights failing to sense a solo motorcycle. Ended up having to make a mile detour to avoid going through a red light (filter right). Reported to DCC.
 
WAMT today was noticing a £10 debit from Now TV in my account when I signed up for a free two month trial in July and cancelled the trial over two weeks before it was due to go to payment. :mad::mad::mad::banghead::banghead:

I had a few free vouchers when I bought my NowTV box. I cancelled the DD each time I signed up with a new voucher. They still allow you to go ahead with the trial period.
 
Caught my finger and ripped a part of my nail off

Vine ripened tomatoes annoyed me today why are these more expensive than tomatoes that have been picked and are loose.Surely there is more worked involved in picking them from the vine?

Grrrr
 
Yup, AND you pay for the inedible stems at the inflated per kilo price, AND they still don't taste like the ones that are €0.5/kilo on the markets in Crete.

They do taste better than loose ones.

Aye, except its taken off my credit card so is not a DD. At least I might be able to set the credit card comapny on 'em if there's any hassle I guess.

I must have missed the bit where I was agreeing to a DD. Pain in the butt.

Nosy GP receptionist wanting to know the in's and out's of why I needed an appointment to see my GP

When I said it was private she got really rude and said "Why are you being so snippy"

I had to bite my tongue and eventually got the appointment but f*ck me!

This is how to handle them Keith

An 86 year old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk....

The Receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?"

"There's something wrong with my dick", he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.

The Receptionist replied; "Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people.
You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private."

The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people questions in a room full strangers,
if the answer could embarrass anyone. The man walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.

The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes??"

"There's something wrong with my ear", he stated.

The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.
"And what is wrong with your ear, Sir??"

"I can't p'ss out of it," he replied.
 
Annoyed with myself really. Got a warning notice from Dartford Crossing for non payment. Odd I thought seeing as I have an account which I remember topping up prior to my journeys the other weekend. Then it suddenly dawned on me. I hadn't added the new cars registration number to the account.
Doh!
At least I didn't have to pay a fine. Just full price @ £2.50 for instead of £1.67 for each of the 6 crossings.

First time I forgot, I simply got a request to pay within 28 days or something - seems to be the norm for first time offenses which is a real break from the norm.

I find it unbelievable that people can visit these beautiful places and just dump this much rubbish

Agree. Years ago I went up the Ben with a mate and a couple of our kids. There was enough litter then for the kids invented a game based on the TV programme, "Through the Keyhole", which they called "Who would drop a piece of litter like this?" It was amusing but also very sad that there was so much lack of regard. I suppose the very large number of people who go up the Ben means there will be plenty who think it is acceptable to just throw away the packet of any food or sweets - it is beyond me.

In the late 1980s I did a mountain leadership course at Plas Y Brenin. One of the attendees, who worked for the Snowdonia National Park, caused a bit of debate when he said that he thought some groups of children should not be allowed in the countryside until they had been educated how to behave. I think this applies to some adults too. Though being educated not to drop litter does not just apply to the countryside.

Unfortunately this is not limited to Ben Nevis. Cairmgorm, Loch Lomond, Glen Etive have problems with litter and equipment being left behind.

You're absolutely right, people dump rubbish everywhere. Look at our oceans and the problems there with plastics and you can pretty much guarantee that on any car journey, someone will be throwing crisp packets and heaven knows what else out of their car windows. I was sitting in my car at Tesco once and there was a guy with 2 children in a car opposite eating McDonald's. When they had finished, he collected all their cups and wrappers, opened his door and threw them on the floor. A great example to set, no guessing how his children will regard littering when they grow up.

Out with my then boss for a training day in Hampshire many years ago and having a break in a layby at lunch time. A car ahead of us did much the same as the knuckle dragger you mention throwing a pile of chip wrappings on the floor alongside. Even more iritating was the fact there was a litter bin five yards away from them. He (my boss) got out of the car picked up the litter bin and emptied it into the back seat of their convertible and said now there will be plenty of room in it for their rubish. The fact he was six and a half feet tall and around eighteen stone helped a lot. They, a man and woman didn't say a thing just drove off looking horrified. The down side is it probably all got chucked on the road side further along but they would think about it for a long time to come I've no doubt.

Back in the summer a local area used for Sunday football matches had a big event and put a dustbin at each end of the half way line of every pitch and even then there were still plastic bottles and food containers along the touchlines.

Lady behind my house decides to burn her large pile of garden rubbish, then with it burning away she goes off home. The flames die away to leave a pile smouldering away, the smoke and smell is terrible. So I close all the windows and doors and get on with things this is what happens here on Crete rant rant. Also the amount of rubbish thrown out of cars here is a disgrace, the verges are full of it..rant rant- shut up Dexs.

An idiot in a red Nissan Micra deciding to overtake me as I turned right on a a tight LH bend, cutting me up to get ahead.
Lucky for him nothing was coming the other way which due to the angle of road I was turning into, he couldn't see.
Idiot nearly took the front of the van off, and all for nothing, he got stuck behind another car and when we reached the junction
at the far end of the road, he had to wait for that car, which was turning right same as him, I was turning left and got out before him
 
Weather. The last time my camera saw the outside of this house was a whole month ago, and you know what - it rained then too!!
