The joys of driving in edinburgh, full of must get everywhere in a hurry and stuff everyone else.

Have observed some older ones are the worst, some tbf.

 

There are no joys driving in Edinburgh - none whatsoever. Do I miss the commute while WFH? Not a bit, long may it continue.

 

If it's not some auld duffer pootling along at 15mph, it's a BMW / Audi driver thrashing around as they try to get to their appointment at the Erectile Dysfunction Clinic on time.

These motorised or electric scooter things are becoming a hazard to drivers and cyclists. I have seen them on on the wrong side of the road, going through red lights, on pavements too. They are just as bad as the cyclists who give everyone on two wheels a bad name.

Because they are standing using them it takes a second or two to clock it is not just a pedestrian about to cross the road or something and they are likely to shoot out in front of you at speed . A real hazard!

They're just as much of a hazard in pedestrian areas. I cant believe the speed of some of them. Really winds me up seeing them weaving in and out people in shopping centres. Of course, being on a mobility scooter gives you priority and anyone getting in your way will get a swift electronic bleep.

Not during a team meeting but did once fall asleep during a workplace fire safety course years ago, my boss tried to give me a written warning but as i'd just completed a 'train the trainer' course my well written response giving a damning indictment of how it was the delivery of the course that had been badly executed and failed to address the learning needs of active learners such as myself which resulted in me switching off and falling asleep and that I was in no way tired or at fault. Written warning thrown out by HR . 

[TheOak88]

The phrase “the new normal”. Feel like I constantly hear it either on work calls, or TV etc. It just grinds my gears for some reason.

Wouldn't mind if the users were disabled but some are just lazy either that or the disable population has increased tenfold.

Thanks for pointing that out, its those two wheeled things that make adults look like complete Tw@ts when using. 

Another seethe is why are motorised wheelchairs now called scooters, who thought that up?

Thankfully I haven't as yet experienced any of these electric scooters but all I can say is any adult using a kids toy to commute deserves whatever happens to them.

Got on the X31 a few years ago by mistake. My son was sick and I just wanted to get him home. Driver refused to let us off (I admitted my mistake and apologised) and barrelled on through until his next scheduled stop. My son spewed on the bus. I was proud. 

Good on him. I remember getting on a bus in town a couple of years ago which got diverted at Haymarket because the Rugby was on at Murrayfield. It was nearly two hours after it finished but the road was still shut to let the very few pissed up rugger types still around stagger into town, another seethe coming. Anyway a few onboard the bus got up as like myself it would have been quicker for them to walk home from there but the driver refused to stop and let anyone off despite there being bus stops available on the diversion route.

There are discussion going on just now to make them legal to use as oddly they aren’t just now but the police turn a blind eye. If that happens I predict vast amounts of teenagers getting them for Christmas and the pavements and cyclepaths becoming chaotic.

In Malaga these electric scooters are available for hire. They are silent and can go at a fair speed. Evasive action is possible if they are coming towards you but inevitably some approach silently from behind and scare the living daylights out of you!

Ha! I use a kick scooter to get to and from the station. It's a 13 minute walk but I get there on my scooter in just under 5 minutes. 

 

I wouldn't have a leccy one just now but it's pretty hilly where I live and if/when we manage to move we'll be further from the station and most likely up a large hill so I can see me giving in when it comes to it.

Tradesmen (some)! We're about to put our flat up for sale and wanted to get the internal doors replaced (some damage from the cats scratching the current one's), had a joiner come round monday night to price the job and the guy wanted 700 quid to fit 4 doors!

Been fixing up the spare room for the 5 year old to move into.

 

It's one thing knowing it's there but having to face it is a whole other matter. This joyous booty is going in the loft until the barrel takes it home.

 

The struggle is real 😕

What were they doing with those bags? No don't answer, I don't want to know.

 

Loft?  I'd be binning the lot.

That's a bit judgemental, I'm a lazy bugger and I'm only slightly overweight. Mind you, if I got 1 of those scooters, maybe I could progress beyond slightly overweight.

Two or Three Gamekeeper mates of mine get thier beaters from Darlo, you can't have more than 5 at a time, yiu just can't, they fight over thier pay packets, they fight over the one waterproof coat they've brought betwee  them, they'd fight ove a packet of crisps at dinner time!!!

You can't guarantee that they'll all be out in the afternoon because some will be pished and sone will be too stoned, one of them, the brains of the operation, was proud that he'd spent his money one week on a second hand pair of boots from ebay rather than spend it on dope, for his "beating career"😅

They're great value to be fair!!

It’s going ahead, but I’ll be lying if I say I’m not pissed about the circumstances

Those Aberdeen ar5eholes who were caught breaking their club guidance about going  out to pubs said they were pure dead sorry and issued something called an "unreserved" apology.  What the feck is  an  "unreserved" apology ?   Maybe someone could explain what a "reserved" apology looks like ?
