No point having a limit if you can exceed it though without punishment if caught. If you officially allow some leeway do you do it with things like drink driving? Well he was only just a bit over so i'll let him off?

 

Drink driving is more dangerous than going 33 in a 30 zone 

GET IN THERE

25K Wage saved

Ruthless

Love it

We need to be ruthless, 25k for sitting on the treatment table. duck off. Great decision

Four years ago II was 'invited' to take part in a speed awareness course. I was in a line of traffic all doing 35 mph so I assume we all got 'done.'

Some on the course had been caught doing 2mph over the 30 mph limit.

A number on a white background in a red circle denotes the fastest legal speed in Miles per Hour. Going ANY faster is an offence under civil law.

(still annoying though!)?

Isn't there a 10 percent grace ?

I bet you don't do 20 when in a 20 zone ?
It's one of my favorite parts of the day... Doing 20 and holding up all the other vehicles wanting to do 30+

20 zones suck balls . 30 I can deal with...20 is way too slow lol

Grrrr damn you lol

You do know that 30 is the limit and not a target speed?  Maybe they are driving at that speed because the area is built up, has cars parked on either side of the road or near a school.

Pfttt the speed limit is always the target speed for me 

??

Tbh it's worse when people go 60 to 65 in the middle lane of a mota2ay

When your child does something new which you are proud of, you don't need to stick it on Instagram/ Twitter/ Facebook.

Several reasons really...

1) People other than you don't care. (Harsh but true)

2) Enjoy the moment without sticking a camera in their face.

3) Other people who follow you may have kids who haven't reached that stage. And it will worry the poo out of them.

Tbh I prefer that to the negative crap people put on social media nowadays. But yes I agree. I dont really care if your son brenan has ate his ducking veggies like a good boy without making any mess

Utter bamfords that fly past you in an average speed limit zone, all in a hurry, like they're Berty Funkin Big Balls!!  Only for you to catch them up in no time once you're past it.  If you'e in that much of a hurry, why did it take 5 minutes of cruising at 80 to catch up with them???  Nob-jockys!!!

Hahaha Id prefer that to drivers who go 22/23 in a 30 zone, that really pissess me off

Nice to be tagged in this thread. I'm also a new dad with a handsome 9 month old little boy ? 

Such a cliche but its the best thing that ever happened to me!

Congrats

Every good parent says that ! Most bad parents lament the fact that they have more responsibility thrust upon them

Good luck,

my closest friends didn't give their kids dummies, and instead encouraged them to be chatty and talkative, now, my god-daughter is 19 and godson is 14 and they are absolutely awesome, I mean truly awesome. They can be cheeky, and charming in equal measure, but they are prepared for the most important thing in the world, interaction. They were well behaved kids and learned that speaking/communicating instead of screaming tantrums was the best way to get what they wanted, and as such were brilliant to look after, and very amusing when they were trying to get something they wanted.

Obviously, some parents will want more peace and quiet, but as has been said, it's a quick life watching them grow, so get as much interaction and bonding as you can when they're learning.

If I have kids, I will try to raise them as my godkids have been raised.

Massively agree! Where I work kids and toddlers come in crying all the time. Can get loud and annoying, can make it much harder for me to concentrate and do my job to the best of my ability. But then I see other people tutting and giving the parent(s) dirty looks. I find it disgraceful

Whats the solution?

Lock the toddler in the cupboard and never bring them out in public? Stick a dummy on them for an "easier life" so you can have a few pints in peace?

Nah, duck that. Take time and socialise them, and do the best to your ability. Best of luck

Pre drinks is the best part of the night. No argument. You can get pissed on the cheap, pick your own music, hear each other speak and play stupid games. My personal uni pre drink of choice is the 2 bottles of wine for a fiver that I can get from the corner shop.

Loved it! Quiet often Id just pre drink and just get takeaway and not go out instead!

Congrats! 

Im in no place to give advice as Im not a parent or ever will be one for that matter. But Being a parent is a priviledge not a right. I trust you to do your best and be there for the kid, and thats all that matters!

Just now, Leeds Ram said:

Thanks ? Well it's just the right thing to do, the last thing i'd want to do is hurt or upset her. Thanks for all the advice btw i appreciate it ? 

No problem

I care more about staying friends than anything else. We've known each other for coming on five years and are really close. I'd be devastated if that ended. 

A proper man

Anyone can be thoughtful and dignified when things are going their way and they are getting what they want from the other person. But it takes a truely remarkable man to stay considerate and put others before him when things arent going his way, and when the chips are against him

Yeah you're not wrong i guess. I was worried i'd crashed the friendship but that's all sorted so am at least relieved and happy about that. 

Glad that  you actually care about the friendship too. A lot of guys dont. They just want to score lol

Sorry to read about your struggles.

The only people alive who haven't crashed and burned when it comes to matters of the heart are those who can't find the courage to admit their feelings.

It hurts and feels weird now, but eventually you'll be glad you told her, regret at not taking a chance can last a lifetime.

I often take on, or get assigned tasks that seem daunting on the face of it, yet most complicated assignments can be broken down into simpler, more achievable targets that eventually add up to a finished project.

If you can take the same approach, split the work into blocks, then tackle the hardest problems first if possible.

Once they are completed, you'll feel mentally it gets easier the further you progress, having broken the back of the task!

Finally, as for being miserable being back in Leeds, that's a perfectly normal reaction to life there, it's only temporary and will disappear when you leave!

Fair play to you, more than Ill ever done lol @leedsram

On a serious note, better to fail and have no regrets than not try and always be thinking "what if, what if"

I cant and never be able to relate to you with regards with your issues with your close friend, but theres been plenty of times in the past where Ive ended up regretting the things that I HAVENT DONE instead

TBH if someone is making you upset- get rid of it! Think he has made the right decision. It doesnt matter what it is, football, dcfcfans forum, facebook, ducking dating sites- it doesnt matter. If something is causing your day to be more miserable- get bloody rid

In the words of Alan Hansen sometimes "Simplicity is key"

yup this is so true sadly ? 

Agree 

Especially in people who you would expect to be happy because they "have it all ". I know of a few guys who are very attractive, have lovely partners , good jobs but suffer from depression .

I don't like that mentality though. People have different breaking points and I think too many people on their arse are kind of trapped because they haven't actually got anything wrong. They're not ill, they have no money issues, they have a family, enjoy their job etc. 

Sometimes people just break and they shouldn't have to worry about how valid it is. If you're on your arse then you're on your arse. No jokes intended there. 

 

 

TBH It works for envy (I sometimes get envious of other people and what they have ect). But definately not for mental health

I always see a few pushing kids around while yakking into phones. I always wonder, what are they talking about? If they are anything like the women at work, it's Love Island!

The best (true) story I heard was from my Dad growing up in the early '60s. He was messing around with his mates and threw a conker or a stone or something at an ice cream van window. The owner got out, grabbed him by his shirt collar and took him round to his house where my Grandmother was at home! Rather than shout at him for touching precious Tommy and do a post on Facebook as many would do now, she took him inside out of sheer embarrassment, apologised profusely and he had to stay in for 2 weeks. Grandad paid for the damage. 

I'm only 28 myself but having been brought up by fairly strict (but never violent) parents born in the early 1950s, I suppose I had a different upbringing.

Agree totally on the phone issue too. See it all time -- Mum pushing the pram with one hand on the handle, the other on the phone ignoring the inquisitive questions of their children. So glad I grew up (just) before phones were everywhere like they are now.

Indeed. I live over the road from a playing field. All the time I see dads kicking a football about with the kids but scrolling on the phone, so taking no notice of the children. Mums pushing toddlers on swings whilst browsing on the phone and the toddlers shouting ‘mummy, look at me, watch me’ and the mothers on the phones ignoring them. Very sad, no wonder they are growing up doing exactly what they want. 

Echo the sentiments here. Too many parents dont understand the priviledge and responsibility of having children though. As someone who will never have them myself, I find it absolutely appalling. Society is broken and its not donald trump, jeremy corbyn or anyone elses fault. We need to take responsibility for our actions and raise kids with principles, values and morals

Ooh... still on the driving subject...

Picture coming down the A38 from Mansfield/Alfreton direction into Derby... Approaching Little Eaton Roundabout.  Two main lanes take you to the roundabout (straight on for Morrisons/Alfeton Rd/Chester Green etc, or right for A38> Markeaton).

There's a left lane there now (has been for a good while), which completely avoids the roundabout, and flows nicely and continuously to the left (Morrisons/Alfeton Rd/Chester Green etc) , with no restrictions.

There's a red light to the right of this lane, specifically controlling those in the main two lanes at the roundabout... and to be totally ignored by those of us in the left hand "direct" lane... some tart actually stopped there once, just as I was slowing down from 60 ish to a more comfortable 35 ish to take the sharpish bend! 
I nearly smashed her back end in, I can tell you!

 

 

Oh yeah... and what's with all the brown signs still directing us to the "I-Pro Stadium"!  Grrr!

Ever tried the roundabout at J 28 and tried to get to alfreton? The worst roundabout ever lol
