Oh, and another thing.....
On the way to work this afternoon, came up to a mini roundabout. Some non descript Ford, driven by a woman pulled out in front of me from my left.
Being a belligerent sod, I just carried on as if she wasnt there, so she had to stamp on the brake pedal to stop from ploughing into me.
I looked across at her and her face was pressed at the windscreen, full of hatred, yelling obscenities.
Gone are the days when someone in her position would hold up her hands to say " sorry".
We live in a sad world.

Not today, but a couple of days ago. Took swmbo to eye clinic at local hospital. It opens at 9am and her appointment was 10.15 am.
She was seen at 11.45am
I cannot fathom how a place that opens at 9am can be 90 minutes behind schedule, 75 minutes after it opens.

Forgot to put my garden bin out last night. 

Now I have to waste a few hours bagging the contents and taking it to the tip. 

Despite having to pay council tax of over £1600 pa ( which to me only covers having the bins emptied) we now have to pay extra (cant remember how much - circa £75 pa) to have our garden waste bin emptied.

Growing up in Norn Irn, I barely heard mention of Paddys day. It just didnt seem to be a big thing.
No the whole fickin world goes mad for it for some strange reason.

Steve Harley (Cockney Rebel). 73. Short battle with Cancer apparently. 
My kids went to school with his kids, and Daughter was friendly with his son in their teen years.
He came round ours once and entertained us with his excellent piano playing.
I thought he would follow his Dad into the music business, but apparently he became a Solicitor, which seemed a waste.

Omega was absolutely filthy which really annoys me so brought it to work today and gave it a good clean inside and out.
I shall sleep better tonight. 
Also managed to pop the lever thing back on to restore heat to the drivers side. Not quite sure how I got it on, but it seems to be working fine.
Still got to replace the matrix in the near future though, due to a slight leak.
