Could it get any worse?!?

Aye, they tweeted at 1445 saying it was starting from Gateshead
RE: What's annoying you today? V4
Woke up at 0115 this morning and after picking a friend up, drove from Carlisle to York arriving at 0500 for the Four Trains event.
We went to the 200 Mile Bridge at Shipton to see the 'once in a lifetime' 'world first' event which featured an HST, 91/Mk4 set, Class 800 and Flying Scotsman (with a Deltic tucked away on the rear) all running on the four-track section from Tollerton to Skelton, in the same direction.
The temperature was 2°C and I was stood in the same spot halfway down a steep embankment for 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Once the formation approached, the 800 sped off at a considerable rate, leaving behind Flying Scotsman, the HST and the 91/Mk4 set. For an event that was advertised as what I described above, and no prior warning/notification that I was in the 'wrong' location, I am furious that my photo of this once in a lifetime event was ruined, compared to the thousands of others that happened to be in different locations.
PR stunt or not, it is absolutely disgraceful - I would certainly not have left the house at the daft time I did had I known this would've happened; nor stopped in the same location.

What's annoying you today? V4
Some stupid woman on the way back from Middlesbrough got on the X12 at Coxhoe and started having a go at my other half as we had the window open as was stuffy and they got on and shut it so the other half opened it again and they got up and shut it again and started arguing about it, spoiled a nice day out. Some people need to have some consideration for other passengers and not themselves. Stupid cow. And this woman threatened to smack my other half, I was furious. Luckily the driver calmed it down and we moved further down the bus and they wouldn't shut up about it all the way from Bowburn to Durham. Ignored them when got off and went to North Road Roundabout for 10 minutes until they disappeared.

Having work done of my car. They keep finding things to do "free of charge". I've been in this prison cell of a reception for 3 hours now...

I'm just seeing exhaust pipes and other parts of car being thrown around. It's a hell of a lot of labour and parts to be free. I'm hoping I didn't misheat "three hundred" haha.

The fuel gauge is the last of my concerns since I often fill it to the brim every week or so. I'd only have to be careful on an extended journey and even then it only fluctuates for a while before settling. We'll see I guess haha.

Don't worry. What's £300 when compared to the £5000 you pay for car insurance? I'm sure all labour expenses will be covered.

I would be concerned about your fuel gauge though - if you're doing a hundred mile round-trip and the fuel on your gauge increases, I would not trust that gauge for anything.

I don't pay 5000, that was just the first quote. It's all done and dusted now for nout!

Just laugh at them mate, from what I know of you - it's 100% their problem. Even the best people have haters.

In this case, I had an issue and the only way to resolve said problem needed the help of someone else and they refused, so I got annoyed (not directly at them)and then they got angry with me.

Most of the time, I don't care when I annoy a random in public who I am unlikely to see again. Sometimes I do stuff that I know will annoy some and I won't care, for example yesterday morning when waiting for the X66 to Stockton I stood to queue behind the Solo that was parked up on the stand that I knew was there as a spare and that the X66 would pull up behind, although I think I got away with that one!

You could solve that by buying a reliable car like the rest of us...

It's reliable - I just had a bit of non-essential work done to it for maintenance purposes. A car cannot last forever without having bits of work done to it.

Been spending the afternoon deciding whether to jokingly question the fact you said it was a good little car the other week... (that's me never getting a lift now! Big Grin )

I can't recall being annoyed at any point for any reason whenever I have met you or Dan.

Where's all this bad press about me car coming from like? 😛

I drive it a lot and it's not exactly brand new, so wear and tear on superficial features is likely to happen over time.

People stuck in the stone ages are not worth the anger you have for them, not even close.
Could try pastoral, but they can't tell their left from their right so it makes no odds. My advice is just keep head up and disregard them.
Easier said than done, but don't make anything of it.

I was thinking of the the W one, but that's just my style!
Being an avid cyclist and general road user, I've grown custom to saying these insults to anybody, it's made it somewhat easier to get the people that are detrimental to me away. That certainly brought my confidence out.
