OBE Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Because my son was driving the buggy ******* miles ahead and I started taking my PW and putter out the bag to save me having to walk [emoji85] Anyway it was handed in. A mate done the same thing at Las Colinas in Spain, got it back a year later. Good guy's at Troon golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The fact that The Terrace is pretty much unreadable nowadays. Too many arseholes foaming with over inflated self importance, wind up merchants, and posters who have thousands of post that clearly aren't Hearts fans.

It has definitely been overrun by the parasites too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The South St David Street and S Saint Andrew Street junctions are an absolute nightmare at the moment. It was a shambles yesterday with trams, buses, plus cars and taxis coming on and off the Waverley Bridge all at a standstill for ages.

¼½¾ Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The delights of online shopping. I ordered a pair of insoles from Amazon on Sunday. They arrived on Monday and I put them in my shoes. When I took my shoes off that night, the top layer of both insoles was peeling off. (I didn't realise my feet were that toxic) I arranged to return them to a Collect+ store. Tuesday, ordered a different pair of insoles, which arrived today. Wrong size of insoles in the packaging. Went to arrange the return and find that these insoles can't be returned at a Collect+ store. Now I've got two packages that have to be returned at two different locations...and still have no bloody insoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too thick and they make your shoes too tight, too thin and they slide about and crease up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 waiting in a Q at the self check out - folk scanning then paying then start packing rather than scanning then straight in the bag. Putting the bag on the checkout opens a whole can of worms and usually results in the machine getting confused. So I just pile my stuff up and pack it at the end. As I am the one doing the work, I do it how I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 waiting in a Q at the self check out - folk scanning then paying then start packing rather than scanning then straight in the bag. The machines have a fit when I put my rucksack in the bagging area so it means I need to handle them stuff twice. Apparently you can only use your own bag if it doesn't weigh anything.

Destress the infrastructure, many lines are still there, overgrown a little, but still there. Driver error?

Technology is going to take over whether we like it or not. Self drive cars and lorries will increase road safety and minimise accidents to a fraction of what they are just now. It's not as easy to reopen old lines as you think and most of what is closed isn't much good to freight anyway. It's more capacity the length of the country thats needed.
