A christmas moan

What you going into hospital for turbo?

I broke my elbow last year and it hasn't healed properly. I've had one op, but that hasn't sorted it, so they're redoing it with a saw, some P38, a splash of titanium plate, and some WD40 for the damp weather.

Ouch!!!! Hope that goes well for you!

Sorry to hear that Turbo, is there really a saw involved?

I saw this (more like this was killing my eyes) and I thought of you guys:

A timely push would've sorted that one, Steve

[turbolag]

Aye Steve, a saw, a file, and a drill - they're pretty much like woodworking tools, just much shinier.

[steve_earwig]

So they're going to reset it - eek!! Plenty of calcium for you dear chap. Mmmm, cheese

saw the worst bit of thoughtlessness I have ever seen todayI was driving downhill In blizzard conditions and clocked an HGV struggling uphill towards me.A car was parked on my left so he had right of way so I flashed him to let him know Id seen him I pulled up behind the parked car and F**K me some balloon from 5 cars back overtook us all tried to race passed us and ended up skidding into the Hgv .The plank tried to blame the Hgv driver needless to say words were exchanged between a few of the drivers that were waiting and the plank plus the Police were called.Hope the dick gets fined

More surprising is that they're actually waiting at the crossing

Am I the only one who actually likes Christmas? Sure, there are idiots everywhere but isn't it like that at all other times of the year?

[teamster1975]

I like it Alex! Just can't be doing with moronic drivers at this time of year!
My kids' favourite book is the Argos catalogue at the moment, everything has to be Transformers this year!

If Bumble Bee's not a yellow VW Beetle, IT AIN'T TRANSFORMERS!!!!!

Christmas is awesome - Christmas drivers are NOT, even the "professional" ones

Was driving on the dual carriageway back home from a run out to Stonehaven this evening - fresh snow on the road, icy conditions, slippery like you wouldn't believe. No gritters, naturally. Top speed - 45 MPH, and that's really pushing the safety margin.

WHOOSH - overtaken by a double-decker Megabus pulling a luggage trailer, going AT LEAST 70 MPH; passed me like I was stationary.

Bus was full of passengers; can only assume the trailer wasn't just there for show.

Last time I looked at National Express's safety record (couple of years ago), they'd written off about 10 of a fleet of 50 coaches in the space of 2 years Given how appalling the standard of driving is with their drivers, I wasn't surprised either.

Today was quite foggy and slippery and, to my suprise, most cars were behaving - even BMW and Audi drivers had their fog lights on.

Some reps in their 59 plated Insignias didn't even have side lights on. I even flashed them from the back and sounded my horn but they just looked at me like I was some idiot. Still, not the first time.
