Der Kaiser Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hey....Edinburgh Council Braid Road closure. Gonnae just open it now if youre not fixing anything on it. Pointless closure that just makes traffic worse around it. If traffic keeps getting worse there as the weather gets harsher I will kill someone to ensure I maintain good mental health. That murder will be blood on your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantjambo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 ******* roadworks! Due to the roadworks at the Drumbrae roundabout, I’ve been stuck in the Tesco car park for over an hour. I was meant to pick my son up from school at 12.25. Thankfully when I phoned the school, one of his teachers kindly offered to drive him home.

Herbert. Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I got thrown out of sainsbury's tonight after the security took offence to me asking them to stand back from me. I was waiting to pay and they stood about 6inches away from me to discuss someone they thought was shop lifting. They tried to deny it then they followed me and one was pushing into me using his belly and trying to intimidate me. ****ing jumped up prick. I did give him lip on the way out because I never done anything wrong in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was glorious. I had to have an emergency stop in the NCP car park on Castle Terrace. It was better after I left it, it was like the toilet from Trainspotting and actually had blood from syringes squirted on the walls. It’s not easy having a dump trying to hover so your cheeks don’t touch the seat. The worst toilet experience of my life until a couple of years ago in New York when I got terrible cramps and had to use a public toilet (rare things in the states) in Union Square. Tiny toilet with one cubicle and I had to push my way past the junkies to get to the toilet. Cue sitting in pain for 5 minutes with them banging on the door asking how long I was going to be as they needed in for business purposes.

Dawnrazor Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I was down at a mates in Northampton a few years ago stalking, we'd been out in the morning and went to a cafe for breakfast that had an outside toilet, it was late February and was well below freezing, I nipped out to the bog and dropped the log of a lifetime, we'd been out each night on the beer and had a couple of curries, low and behold the water had frozen in the outside bog and there was no way of flushing the thing I'd left, I had to ask in the cafe to get a stick or something to break it's back and see if I could get it moving somehow, by christ it stuck too, my mate says he never went back there for months out of sheer embarrassment.

I was cycling home a few nights ago late at night on the cycle path which was totally deserted as it was well after dark. I was going at a decent speed when one of the powered skateboards with the handle held throttle shot past me. I didn’t hear it coming up behind me and got a bit of a fright as it shot past. I was ready to have a word with him but there was no way I was able to catch it the speed it was going, must have been close to 30mph.

Council tax well spent Have you been up Pentland terrace lately bud, I don’t know how anyone hasn’t had an accident with those cycle lane restrictions they’ve put in. They just randomly feed right out into the road at certain points and a mental City Car and Disabled space chucked in also, just to make it that little bit more awkward. Just a matter of time imo.

tian447 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 The M90 from Dundee to Perth last night. Thought I'd be nice and pick up my partner from work at 9pm after a long day, but the roadworks on the way back.... 70mph filters to one lane and drops to 50mph. No problem really. Then it's 30mph. Then it's 10mph. Then there's a ****ing red light on the southbound carriageway. Had to wait for a convoy vehicle to trundle its way along, do a 15 million point turn, and then take a huge line of traffic the next few miles at about 5mph. Took forever, and once the road finally opened up, there was a beeline for the outside lane, with cars doing 50 trying to overtake other cars getting back up to speed. Drive usually takes 20 minutes, didn't get home until after 10pm. She's on her own today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
