Little Things You Hate

No mobile units in SA so far but I read that 4 more permanent installs are planned for early this year. No doubt ear marked for 5 lane traffic that is at a standstill from 6am till 6pm every day as that seems the most lucrative.

We have these moblile things getting around all over the place in Tassie. There are permanent speed cameras, but I don't know of any permanent seatbelt ones.

Those are very similar to the mobile phone ones we have. I think they’ve been upgraded to do seatbelts and unregistered cars now too, so it’s probably just software.
 
LTIH: People having a whinge about bell ringing on shared pathways.

Some with complain that you don't ring your bell and some with complain that when you do, it's a "get out of the way" like gesture.
You can't bloody win.

For reference I don't have a bell and just slow down and pass if there's plenty of space and if there isn't much space or they are totally blocking the path I slow down and say "G'day, mind if I slip past". Never had an issue.

same. tried the bell for while, got sick of people turning around and into my path... and then getting shitty with me because I had to swerve around them at the last second.

Hard to find a bike shop that stocks sealant but doesn't have Stans, even if its the little 2oz/50ml bottles for $12-$15 each :oops:

Tell me you've never been to Griffith without telling me you've never been to Griffith! ;)

Isn't that why they also sell an endurance version?

Personally, I've gone back to tubes. Filled with latex...

It is the endurance version!

Are you expecting to grow in height any time soon?
Click to expand...
No, but I'm also not expecting to get my post height exactly perfect straight away. Set up the bike, did the stationary fit test, went to bed in the breaks. While pedaling, realised that it wasn't quite right. It's not exactly a 'side of the road' job to adjust it seeing as I need to give a tap with a hammer to release the internal clamp...

And I am likely to start shrinking slightly at some point
 
2 part one - shit Hospital systems and commercial TV.

Shit Hospital systems - 3.5 yr old cut his finger on a stick Sunday night. Basically a clean cut half way through his middle finger at the tip while feeding the dog sticks which she was happily eating. Makes no sense but it happened (I literally watched it happen and still can't explain it).
- ED Sunday night from 8PM to 12.30 am to get bandages and an x-ray to make sure there are no bits in there and to check that there isn't any bone damage (they were worried that finger was crushed in the dogs mouth, confirmed not to be the case). Told we would have a call in the AM to confirm a time for stitches.
- Call Monday AM says that stitches would now be Tuesday but we need to go on for IV antibiotics. Go in and ask if they can do oral as he is not a kid that sits still while medical procedures are being done. The doctor basically says she would prefer oral too but she needs to follow instructions from the surgery. 1.5 hrs waiting + 1 hr destroying his veins trying to get a canular into a screaming 3 year old and they call the doctor and decide that oral is fine. Go home 3 hours later.
- Go to day Surgery this morning at larger hospital. Then we're told to go to children's ward as they will have a look there. Then are told to go to ED so they can do their assessment there. Then we get assessed and told that our surgery will be tomorrow morning (Pending a call tonight of course)

FFS, seems like the smaller hospital didn't actually book anything in.

Shit TV - While sitting in the waiting rooms me and my children were exposed to free to air TV (the horror!). In between some dipashit on daytime TV trying to say that we should abandon the NBN and just use starlink and the only reason people are against the idea is people don't like Elon Musk. Then the ad comes on for Barbie uncovered (an expose about the Barbie movie?) right after Married at first sight. Do people watch this shit?

Sounds like a classic.
As a recently retired doctor I use to advise people not to go to ED unless it was life or death
because you know they take it seriously and wont likely dick you around.

That's good adviae. Unfortunately it seems too often that the only option to get something done somewhat promptly is the ED. Wait too long trying to be see. somewhere else and you end up back at the ED but at the front of the queue as you now have an infection and it is an actual emergency.
 
F@ing numpties. get sent a file to upload and process from a another site. normal sort of stuff, validate and fix the data, send it across systems etc. as soon as I finish they send another one for the same thing. 10pm another one, 4am one more. I've told them before that it takes the same time to process one huge file with the fixes to it as it does for a small file., 4 small files takes 4 times the work. so im going to force efficiency on them and let it sit for a week to see what else they send in
 
Sent off a couple of e-mail enquiries about houses in my town over the last week. First e-mail sent last Wednesday, about two houses. Second e-mail Friday night, to a second agent/real estate company also representing one of the first two houses I enquired about. Replies so far: 0.

It's just so fucking lazy. These houses have been for sale for over a year. Yeah, I can call about them - but e-mails are my preferred choice as I can fit them in and around my work day. Just can't believe not even a cursory "We'll get back to you shortly..." type email. Really earning that commission. :rolleyes:

Hope the kiddo is ok mate. That's a long wait for stitches for the little one.

Would you happen to have a priority care clinic near you? Here in Ballarat we are lucky to have one. They are open from 10am until fairly late, maybe 10pm? It's been great as somewhere to go if you can't get to a doctor's clinic but not urgent enough for ED.
