Numpty - that said you can get jump packs that plug straight into the mains and don't need to be charged first

Well I've a charger on route to charge the battery, and at the weekend I'll try and find the charger cable for my damn jump pack too...
 
A two and three quarter hour commute home. Two hours sat on the A249
 
Matt, since one or other of the bikes sits in the garage for a while while the other is the one in (almost) daily use, I have a lead attached so I can easily plug them into a battery condition maintainer. I still start the dormant one when I remember to do so mainly to keep a coating of oil throughout and usually take them out for a half hour ride (or so) to keep the tyres round and the chains free.

My car shall be getting more use soon, not been able to use it for such a long time...but just annoying for it to go up the swanny today :(
 
WAMT - Call out at 2.30am for storm damage. Not unexpected given it was blowing both halves of a huricane out there (okay i exageate but local wind speeds were measured at 87mph).
 
Seeing a car in the car park that I'd rather have than mine - a rare event!!! Only because it was the Sportbrake (estate) version of mine and a nice colour.

Hey, don't be annoyed. The keys are the same, so nobody will know when you toss them in the fruit bowl, they'll just think a Jag ;)

Keys? No key, just the fob/transmitter! (Well, there's a door key in the fob but I've never used it - get within a metre of the door and it'll unlock when you pull the handle. Press the start button and turn the dial to select D for do it and off you go!)
There are a few cars I'd like to have but very few that I'd rather have than mine and that was the first time I've seen one in the golf club car park.
 
The person in Morrison's who put about a 1 Ltr of diesel in the car. If your going to fill up, then fill up but don't muck about !

I bet it was more. Petrol stations have a 2 litre minimum. :)

To be honest I find it more annoying the ones that get petrol then do a full on shop in the station shop...

Or to take it up the level 13 in the forecourt annoyance stakes the person that uses the pay at pump lane only to then go into the shop to do some shopping leaving the car at the pump :bang:
 
Today's annoyance is BBC radio newsreaders using the word invite (verb) in place of invitation (noun). As if not being able to pronounce 'controversy' and 'contributing' wasn't enough.

If I put in 1 litre and go to pay for it, there is no way they are going to force me to buy any more (I'm not going to... just if!).

If you only want a litre I'd have to question was it really worth the trip to the petrol station and is it really worth having a car if 1 litre will last a while.
 
I wouldn't buy just one litre. My point was that if I did, I wouldn't be forced to buy any more just because they had a sign up which said minimum two litres.

They could accept my money for one or siphon it out.

And there is a pet hate of mine, right there.
Petrol is currently 104.9p locally.
If I buy a litre exactly a litre, I would expect .01p change too!

Unless you had a 0.9p coin.

That of course does not exist, so therefore, nor should the price ;)

(But I knew you were being ironic, just like I was :D)
 
Isn't the pump set up to deliver a minimum of 2 litres?
So if you put in 1 litre, the pump won't shut off, and the sale won't register.
 
Wamt: the reaction and response from 101 when I reported an incident tonight. I can imagine some feel like they can't be bothered to report events. It really annoyed me and I will take it up with my contact tomorrow. Grrrr
 
Operation Stack. :mad:
 
Eggheads. CJ especially.
 
Bodies being shipped with flat batteries!
 
D750s. Luckily, it takes the same batteries as the V1 so I've got a spare. Unluckily, the battery in the V1 was almost as flat as the new one in the D750! Both full now and body on its way to being set up how I want. Just missing the most important thing now - light!!!
 
I haven't used film for ages.

Took a film into Max Spielmann 3 week's ago and it's not ready yet. No wonder people use digital :)

Cheers and any suggestions for quicker developing (apart from doing it myself :)) would be appreciated.
 
What annoyed me today:

That damned Angry, White and Thick thread. I really don't want to look at it, but every time I see that there is a new post, I have to go and look!

In the dictionary, there should be a picture of him next to the word smug.

Like Moths to a flame the lot of you :p
 
Now it's just going round in circles and has long since crawled up its own fundamental orifice, maybe it's run its course?

WAMT? Aching index fingers, probably a sign of old age. Worse because it's cold and I can't be arsed to get up and cheat the CH!!!
 
My youngest waking me 05:40am then banging the bathroom door, then showing me the tooth fairy had been then turning the lights on then asking to go downstairs and watch mine craft then having the TV way way to loud then the cat launching himself on me and trying to rip my arm to shreds! :(

Equals and extremely grumpy T today
 
Today's annoyance is people who put question marks at the end of things which are obviously not questions - often as titles to forum posts.

e.g. "My lens isn't focusing properly?"

(even worse though are forum post titles which tell you nothing about the subject).

Drizzle.
Even the word sounds grim.
 
Technically it was early today when the cat decided her hairball was in need of ejection - about a yard from my ear'ole. I wasn't quite asleep but it was still an annoyance having to get up and deal with it.

Years ago I used to commute from Derby to London bought second class ticket. Should change trains at Leicester but used to check the platform in Loughborough seeing the crowd would cross platform and get on London train earlier. Straight into buffet car - full English and still cheaper than First class. I believe they have stopped it now:(
