Tazio Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Bin wars continue. Bins got emptied this morning.

iantjambo Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Waiting at the lights at Craigmillar Park.

No wonder car drivers have no respect for cyclists. It’s not even the first time that I’ve seen this. The delivery cyclists seem to be the worst for it.

Tazio Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 17 minutes ago, Jim_Duncan said: It should be really easy for cyclists and motorists to exist side by side, but the arseholes on both sides ruin it. I had to swerve out the way of a van that was overtaking a cyclist the other day. Totally. As a cyclist I spend a lot of time shouting at those Deliveroo pricks on the electric bikes. A lot of them seem to be using hand throttles with not speed limiters on them. And don’t even get me started on the lack of helmets and lights. And the covered faces, that’s not to protect from the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Deliveroo on occasion when I’m in work and don’t have the time to get out for evening food. I’ll only tip riders if they’re on a self powered bike.

superjack Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I bought a couple of things on ebay last week, a new laptop and a foot pedal for my new amp (as suggested by @davemclaren). I went to watch netflix on the laptop, the picture was like watching on a 40 year old telly, and the foot pedal (which was second hand unlike the laptop) doesn't take any charge. Raging, both now being returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Trying to get an appointment with the doctor. nigh on impossible. Phoned NHS 24 as I reckon I broke my thumb a few weeks ago, they said, as it's more than 2 weeks, you have to contact your GP in the first instance. Been trying for over a week now and finally spoke to the girl on reception. She told me no more appointments today but to contact NHS 24!!!!!!!!!!

Please note that if you arrive without arranging an appointment via 111 you may be asked to come back later. So you don't always need to be referred.

Went straight to the western one about 4 years ago, had sliced opened a finger on a jagged bit metal on a brush handle, was taken right away and patched up, got a tetanus jag as well.
