Definitely four (4) lanes on the M1 going north from junction 25. Definitely saw lorries using three (3) of the four (4) lanes. Thus leaving one (1) lane for the other vehicles to pass said lorries. And still think lorries should be restricted to the two (2) inside lanes on a four(4) lane motorway. Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that 3 lorries shouldn't be using lanes 1 to 3 at the same time. Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Ikea. No, not the assembly (which I actually find weirdly therapeutic) or even the hellish thought of being dragged around one of it's stores for hours on end as a child, no, the ordering "system" is the worst thing about it. Short of stock? No problem; Covid, Brexit, HGV drivers we all know the situation. However not even being able to order an item for delivery at some future date, when that item is in stock at say the Aberdeen store, and instead having to rely on checking the website for online availability at random times is just a ridiculous way of dealing with the problem. Can't be beyond the realms of normal customer service practice to have the Aberdeen store ship the item either to my house, or to my nearest store?

Rev Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 When you go for an interview, for instance, and don't hear anything back. Or reach out to someone with a query, and receive no response, despite that being a requisite of their role. Those sorts of things are not on in my book, it's not just rude but denies the opportunity to learn from any feedback available. cstand and Miggins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 I was reading an article in bed this morning on my phone about the worst song lyrics. Of course the classic Des'ree song "Life" was included, for classics like: I'm afraid of the dark, Especially when I'm in a park And there's no-one else around, Oh, I get the shivers I don't want to see a ghost, It's a sight that I fear most I'd rather have a piece of toast And watch the evening news In fact, the whole song is turd. Anyway, guess which tune has been going round my head ever since?. It's driving me insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly would you pay additional for moving this from Aberdeen? Perhaps hire a van and go and get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Adults that have advent calendars. Advent calendars in which you get something more than a chocolate. Gin, make up... that sort of crap. 'Luxury' advent calendars that cost like £300. Advent calendars that don't run concurrently with the dates of advent. I.e end on 25th or start after advent has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Miggins and I have much fun in December trying to predict what lies behind each door. It has become rather competative over the last few years! ramit and Mucker1884 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
