What grinds your gears?

I'm sitting at home waiting for a lock smith to arrive after being burgled for the 2nd time in a week, this time they took a brand new 50" lcd TV - that being the only thing we've replaced since the last burglary.

The reason I came home early was because I was dropping off my car some idiot crashed into the back of has just been fixed / resprayed from a few weeks ago.

Back to the burglary; I went over to the neighbours place to check if he saw anything and he mentions he saw his nephew putting the TV into a car and taking off, I'm now also waiting for him to get back to me to see if the little shit will return it. So Bobby Murray, if you're reading this - return the TV pal

So yeah, good times.

I've read your post several times and I still can't find the bit where you call the police...?

[GM]

I rang the police call centre after talking to the neighbour, the job was logged and a police man just called me a few minutes ago - he's going to follow it up.

I've heard people say that's why no one becomes a plasterer anymore, historically, it was the apprentice who sanded, the journeyman who stopped. Rules change, and you ain't allowed to do that no more. (no beasting).

Work experience day for me was drilling holes in the GIB roof (before those nice catcher tools) for light fittings, sanding the plaster and then sweeping up the mess.
End of the day dad said: "So do you want to be a builder?"
" ... No"
"Good .... now fuck off..."

Christmas time with my mother in law.

My wife has always been an awesome host and gone to a lot of effort for her mother when she comes to visit. She bakes bread, makes her own pasta, cheese, baking, fucken everything. It is rarely reciprocated which has always upset me, I never mention this to my wife because that's just the way it is.

We are hosting Christmas day this year and my mother in law wanted to know what she could bring to eat. Seeing as she has always gone to minimal effort whenever we have visited her I thought it would be best that she could simply buy some cheeses/antipasto because it's really simple to arrange. All I asked was that she put some Stilton cheese in the mix. Is it a difficult thing to ask? It's readily available at any reasonably deli, nosh, farro etc. Instead I receive a call from her, she's at Pak n Save.

'Hi xor, I'm at Pak n' Save. They don't have Stilton cheese. Is it ok if I get some of this mainland stuff?'

What am I to say to such a question?

[leadinjector]

you sound like a lamo cheese snob tbh.

[CCS]

Shit mang, I guess stilton makes christmas, eh?

[xor]

You phaggots missed the point.

Yeah it kind of does. It's the principle. Example, last time my mother in law came up to Auckland my wife made some sour dough and a lasagne made from scratch (Homemade lasagne sheets, mozzarella, meat Saaaaaaauce) and all that my mother in law could say was 'that was ok...'

So yeah, a little bit of thought of others can go a long way.

[Ab]

not worth it man, smile sweetly and stfu.

[StN]

FFS Xor - are you trying for the mother daughter combo?? No? then STFU and take the good with the bad. And quietly hide some nice Stilton, some aged port wine cheddar, and maybe some Wensleydale (Yes! - oh, that's my name...) in a room off to the side that you may want to visit from time to time and have a wee private Xmastime. And a nice cigar.

[xor]

Yeah I know. Of course I'll STFU. It's the path of least resistance. I'm just having a fucken moan.

I'll still be grilling like a bause and carving the meat at the head of the table with my whanau I'm not going to let one cunty thing ruin my day.

eh I bet 95% of hunters would have just left it there or chucked it in a river - he's better than most despite the bad situation. Not like you can train a dog not to bite a kiwi (due to how few of them there are) and what's the point of a hunting dog on a leash lol. Sounds like the real problem is that hunting is legal there, not the guy doing the hunting in what he thought was an okay area.

You get something stuck into you, you don't really notice till a day later, when that shit is hurtin', hurting so bad, you just gotta say, dang, i wish it wasn't hurtin' so bad.
You stab at it with a few things, dig a hole, try to find wtf is making the hurt. Gets pretty messy and you decide you are no nurse, so just get wasted instead.
Few days later tho and it starts smellin' a bit, ya know. Hurtin' aint the problem so much as half your finger has gone bad. Time for the knife.

This kinda shit GMG, nothing worse than hacking at bad flesh.

Your finger gonna rot off. Go to the medics.

Got two, it makes it better, cause you hate the one you're using more than the other.

So, went and saw a nurse, i think she was impressed; 'errrr, yea... you definitely got what was in there, out.'

Talking about nurses or phones?

..... and was hit by a truck and killed. And what are the responses from the cyclists of this world? Blame the roads and trucks around the area! Genious at work.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=11182745

Simione Maamaloa was on his way to the beach when he heard a loud bang. He watched in horror as a cyclist flew through the air before going underneath a truck, its driver oblivious to the collision at one of Auckland's busiest intersections.

Police are investigating how and why the collision occurred, but revealed last night the truckie had the green light at the intersection.

Police said it appeared the cyclist had been riding down Parnell Rise and was turning left into Stanley St when he collided with the truck, which was travelling straight through from The Strand.

Barbara Cuthbert, chairwoman for Cycle Action Auckland, said the death was a tragedy.

"Cycling deaths with trucks are becoming a real worry. Quite honestly, it's just a horrendous accident because cyclists are so vulnerable when the scale between the truck and cyclist is so appallingly different. It's just not safe having the two modes sharing the same stretch of road."

Greens MP Julie Anne Genter said the city needed more dedicated cycle lanes, like other international cities.

"Cities like Auckland overseas, they're putting a lot more focus on cyclists. I think Auckland is falling behind. They [the authorities] have got to make it more of a priority.

"People feel really unsafe to cycle even short distances. There needs to be separated cycle lanes, particularly in the inner-city area."

In Auckland in 2012 there was one cyclist killed and 205 injured. Nationally there were eight killed and 828 injured. The numbers were similar for the previous four years.

The section of road where yesterday's accident happened, between Alten Rd and Tamaki Dr, is not considered a motorway, so cyclists are able to use it.

"There have been two serious injuries involving cyclists and four with minor injuries in the last five years [in that stretch]. And none at that particular intersection," NZ Transport Agency spokesman Ewart Barnsley said.

Richard Loseby, a cyclist who works near the crash scene, said the site was notorious for road users running the lights.

"I think it's because everyone is really amping to get through the lights and get on their way.

"If you're a cyclist anywhere between the port and Stanley St, you're in trouble. It's just continual trucks with heavy trailers going through. That would be Auckland's Bermuda Triangle, that's where the bad shit happens. I see it every day."

What's nztas involvement with auckland local roads? (its not a SH, right?)

[Lightspeed]

I thought it was SH16?

My assumption was the cyclist fucked up. I drive around that area a lot and trucks toe the line from what I can tell. Hooning down the hill, lost control maybe?

[ala*]

seems to me more like they are lobbying for dedicated bike paths ... it can and should be done. auckland SUCKS for riding a bike.

edit: not saying the cyclist wasn't a total tool for running the red

[Ab]

Of course! Because a dedicated bike path would have prevented this tard from biking straight through a red light.

[^BITES^]

NZTA .. or NZ Police.... maybe a combo? Whoever decides this shit needs to be shot in the face with buckshot, and Salt+Vinegar

These new "tougher on speeding" bullshit is making EVERY FUCKER drive like a complete dickhead .... or maybe its more obvious now..

Now .. I don't mind if you as a driver want to drive at 80kph on a motorway ... "OMG TICKETS!!" and shit sure ... but if you are a driver doing 80kph in the fast lane or doing the "I'll match the same 80kph speed as the dickhead in the lane next to me" (like some rolling fucking roadblock) ... you are a DICKHEAD.

You end up having to undertake people because your are doing the speed limit ... fuck its annoying ...
