Fort Kinnaird is an absolute farce. Trying to get to B&Q for a wee tin of paint today and nose to tail queues in and out from the roundabout. Absolute shite.

And the bairns wanted to go next door to B&M to look at the toys and it took about 10 minutes to get out the carpark.

That roundabout next to McDonald's is a death trap.

 

Whole area needs better traffic management.

Doesn't help for B&Q granted but on occasion I've parked at Asda and walked round to Fort Kinnaird to avoid the traffic there when I know it's going to be chaos.

Even if it takes longer I prefer it as I hate being stuck in traffic

I've got a driveway but it's tight on a tight road and need to pull forward across the other side of the road and reverse in. 

Every day some **** will see me indicate and maneuver, but still pull right up my hoop meaning I can't get in to the driveway and effectively block the road. Absolute phannies with no spatial awareness or foresight. Almost as bad as bike wankers.

 

**** them mate. You just go ahead and do what you need to do, and they can get the **** out of the way. As long as someone is clearly indicating what they are doing, I will always give them the time and space they need to do it. The majority of drivers on the road are absolute tits, and unless you stand your ground they will just continue to be tits. 

 

It's the same with queuing traffic. I always, always leave space and never go across and block junctions. The amount of times that there are 2 lanes where I am in the inside lane leaving space for people to get in and out of the junction, and the twat in the outside lane will pull forward anyway and block the junction does my ****ing head in.  Even though they can see I've left space.  Arseholes. 

 

I would guess that a solid 75% of drivers on the road have absolutely ****ing no idea about what they are doing, what the Highway Code is, or have even basic spacial awareness or forward planning. 

 

Other drivers do my ****ing head in. No indicating, no spacial awareness, driving in heavy rain and fog with no lights on, switching lanes like they're playing Mario Kart. 

[Tommy Brown]

Had a dick undertake me approaching Deer Park. He then wants to get onto the M8 west, but he is the wrong lane.

 

Gave me great enjoyment flashing my lights at him and blasting my horn at him.

 

If you **** up, keep moving in your lane, continue round the roundabout. Don't stop indicating hoping for someone to let you in.

 In future, go to the branch at Hermiston Gait. I’ve never had any problems with their car park. Also a B&M (Glasgow Road) and McDonalds (Corstorphine) relatively close by for the kids.

Anyone else get frustrated & suspicious by some of the modern online video adverts that crop up when you're watching a Youtube video - usually at the end of them ?   Especially the ones for  medical products or advances  which (allegedly) render everything else you'd buy at a pharmacy "useless" or even harmful.

 

Recent ones included some new ultra-violet thingy you bit down on for 10 seconds which allegedly cleaned your teeth much better than an electric toothbrush and didn't harm your gums.  Really ? 

 

Then there was some American medic bloke who spent 10 minutes telling you to prepare for what he was about to "reveal" to  you about some new magic potion for treating  enlarged prostates ....... after he tells you about "John" and how he had to get up 4 times a night for a partial piss until he discovered this new thingy.

 

Long-running online advert campaign  for a make of backpacks - yes, really.     Same with a new make of  shoe ("the best walking shoe") .... eh, looks like a canvas deck shoe with a thin sole and no support.  

 

Suspicious click-bait adverts appearing more frequently too - why you should put a plastic bottle on top of your front tyre at night, or blatantly fake headlines beside a pic of a female ex-celeb. 

 

 It seems that media advertising companies are exploiting some loophole which allows them to get away with sh1te like this.

Aye,  you're probably  right. My mistake was probably "watching" (i.e. forgetting to  close it down)  an advert at the end of a YouTube music video, so their AI algorithm deduced that I'm a sucker for medical stuff now, even in the short ads in the middle of a music video.

Honestly I haven't a clue. I use the android system on my phone majority of the time . Duck duck go, I use on the windows laptop and I pad as my web browser. Used to use Firefox but found duck easier to use. Newpipe I only use on my android phone, it's fantastic,can also download using it plus listen and don't require screen to be on

After getting off the bus and walking to Tesco and back which is about 500m I had to barge my way through 3 separate squads of feral little shits. Or quite frankly it could have been the same squad in different places as they are all dressed identically, black hooded jackets with scarfs over their faces. Most of them have come to the area to stand about as there aren’t that many teenagers in Davidson’s Mains. Odd that they don’t go a bit further and pretend they’re hard a couple of bus stops away in Muirhouse or West Pilton. It’s also tricky for some of them acting hard when they’re only about 4’6”!

Newpipe replaces YouTube, and duck duck go replaces Firefox. I have an adblocker on Firefox, so don't use duck duck go much.

The effing idiots that voted for Brexit ruined retirement or moving overseas easily for everyone. Did they really think there was £350m a week that could improve the NHS and that everything would be hunky-dory if the idiots running the country got more power?

Last time I was in A&E out there was taking a mate in who'd just been stabbed in the belly on the Shandon steps by wee ***** who'd just got off the nightbus and fancied chibbing a random stranger for **** all. First time I'd seen a stomach stab wound, and I was surprised at how much the innards try to pour out.

Nah, around 15 years ago. Mate left my flat in Wardlaw in the early hours and got shanked walking home. Phoned me and we took him to hospital. Never got the guys.

My Mrs at the time was a nurse and she reckons he was VERY lucky. An inch in one direction or other and he'd probably have been a gonner.

Against doctors recommendation he discharged himself from hospital the following morning and was in the pub to watch the Hearts that afternoon.

Subsequently made a full recovery and frequently spouts pish on here.

I remember years ago, it was a nightnout after 1 of the cup finals we were in back in 1996, we were coming out a pub in the west port and we seen a guy running away. We then noticed a guy sitting down in obvious agony. Turned out they guy that done the runner had just stabbed him on the gut. I lifted up his top, the wound was easily a foot long, and his internals were mostly externals. I spent the next 19 or so minutes trying ro hold everything in until the ambulance arrived. The guy was very lucky as there was no internal damage, or it was very minimal. As far as I'm aware, the ******* was never caught.

I know there are some mitigating circumstances such as armed forces personnel who may be stationed away over xmas or oil rig workers likewise working over xmas, so they have it early when the family is still together.....

But even if this is the case in those households, I doubt that the lights will be coming back down until January.

Negotiating a new deal for TV.  The lowest price they could offer me was nearly double the price to what a new customer would pay.  Their advice was cancel all services, and once all cancelled take out the new customer deal but this would result in me being without broadband for 2-3 weeks. Every person I spoke to thanking me for 20 odd year loyalty as well haha.

 

Shame as Sky always been decent but will take a look at Virgin now.
