Today, I have mostly been hating celeron processors since 5.30am.
I expect this hatred to last at least another two hours.
-
I also now hate tiny phone screens that cause you to start threads in the wrong section. ;D
-
I hated being in Hounslow at 01:15. Staying awake for the drive home wasn't easy either.
-
I've hated having to have sex twice today already. :)

Today I hate my job....not different from most days really !

I hate the freaks that sit in the fast lane doing 60 while we all undertake at 70 to get by them
-
I had to go out and visit customers with a young man as part of a training process.
What I hated was MY decision that he would drive. Pretty much "white knuckle" most of the day. I was glad to get dropped off so I could change my underwear :o
I don't get it. I know that I'm an old fart, but you very rarely gain any time advantage by tailgating the car in front, lane hopping, and and sticking in the outside lane.
Two bulls stand on a hilltop looking at a herd of cows.
Young bull says " lets charge down the hill and ***** one of those cows"
No says the old bull, lets walk down and ***** all of them :y

Changing all 6 spark plug on the Smart. If you think the plug are a pig on a V6 Omega, then try doing them on a Smart Roadster, all the rear panels have to come off to get at the lower 3 .... which is why they often get left http://www.fq101.co.uk/how-to-guides/roadster/panels/349-coupe-rear-removal.html

Today brings a hatred for driving two hours to a site to get there on time, only to find the onsite contact hasn't arrived, as their 15 minute journey is clearly too much for them >:(
I think next time I'll stay in bed and follow dr.optis lead ::)
-
I find that as each day passes I seem to hate things more and more. Swmbo has taken to calling me Victor on occasion. :(

What i hated today was just cruising in the slow lane of the motorway at 65 with no one behind me. All of a sudden a teewat overtakes me at speed slams on the brakes and near takes the nose of me just si he can come of at the next junction!!! As i said teewat

phpMyAdmin - Old version that I use on local server a bit clunky but okay with some functionality easier than using CLI. This along with MySQL CLI means I can most jobs done very quickly. [rant]But the poxy useless newer version on my live server has had a makeover by a 14 year old graphic artist intern, it does look pretty, with his colleague who is tea stirrers assistants mate sorting out the functionality by removing many of the more useful bits and doing the programming and along the way making it the slowest (slug on strike speed) most badly thought out piece of software I have ever used. Top call it absolute rubbish is a complement as it is much worse than that.[/rant] >:( >:( >:( >:(
Each time I have to use it to update a large table's structure I end up losing my temper. >:( >:( >:( >:(
There are several alternatives out there that I need to try.

So today brought a familiar hatred to the fore-that of drivers who should by all rights never be allowed near the road.
Driving at a steady 22mph, slowing to about 15mph when an oncoming car approaches.
Alternating between veering towards the kerb, or halfway across the white line, somewhat like a pinball, and braking to a near standstill for no reason whatsoever.
The only time they resemble a real driver is when you decide to think about an overtake, which prompts the to drive straight and speed up to a staggering 30mph.
This is on a national speed limit country road.
One had a kid bouncing around the back seat and one looked like they were still asleep.
Oh to have a death ray on the car!

TB's got one of them ;D

What have I hated today:
The sheer arrogance of a police driver overtaking on a blind bend and forcing me to avoid a head on collision. I had to slam on to a complete stand-still from about 60mph to avoid a head on collision with him. The poor sod he was overtaking then got forced off the road as the police driver cut back in sharply to avoid a now stationery me. Luckily the guy was in a 4x4 so was not overly disrupted by bouncing across the wide grass verge.
The police vehicle did have his blue lights on but no siren, but I'm sure that does not give them the right to run other drivers off the road. He was not in pursuit as I did not pass anyone else leading up to this, but was clearly in a hurry to get to some incident.
Could have cost lives trying to save lives, or whatever he was doing. >:(
-
Being bitten on the lower leg by some motherf!@#g flying thing from hell that drew blood and now the itching is driving me insane. I hated that >:(
-
Strapped four lengths of kitchen worktop to the roof rack this evening to take 'elsewhere', looked at the sky and thought " Shall I wrap some polythene round it? Nah it'll be fine " ::)
20 minutes down the road went through a heavy downpour, so I probably now have four lengths of blown kitchen worktop! :'( Hate that! >:(

We're having a long weekend in the lakes in our tin tent, the weather is stunningly beautiful and the scenery is outstanding, but this heat is killing me - thats what Im hating.....

The effort its taken to get a Honda up a hill
-
Nope! not going to hate anything today...even the dead car on the driveway,I've got a fridge full of cold beer and a bottle of lime flavour Vodka for later and a BBQ ticking over for a nice afternoon and evening in the garden,still might hate the neighbours though because somethings never change 8)

Today I hated that there was just a small room next the oil filter to fix the insulation of my knock sensor cable. I felt lazy to let the oil down :-[ to take filter off so at the end I hated a bit myself, too... :D

Worked out how to permanently disable this gay frakkin start/stop on a Honda Civic. Have A/C set to low. If too cold, just turn the fan down, but leave temp at LO.
I'm happy now.
-
Is that really the only way to stop it stalling at every junction?
Even my Morris Ital wasn't that bad (once it'd warmed up). ::)

It hasn't really got enough power to be able to charge the battery, so I suspect keeping AC on is the way to maintain reliability

Company "team building" exercises. Only went because we were promised hovercrafts, but it was the "wrong type of grass". Ended up driving an L200 truck blindfolded instead. Whoopeee doo! >:(
Oh, and the rather Epson printer I've just tried to fix (don't ask me why - it's sh1te), including all the ink it deposited on my hands. >:(

At £22 per ink for a 6 ink printer it's really going to get Epson ink. (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26795734/Smilies/rofl.gif)
Fortunately, I realised some time ago that printing colour at home is a hiding to nothing with an expensive shafting at every step of the way, hence I've got enough "skip find" mono laser printers to see me out.
Sadly, Mrs. KW is yet to see the light. ::)

That's a good point, actually. A good application of Sammy will fix it, and no mistake. :y

You need a CIS system :y Got one on my £400 Epson (ok i only paid £200 for it as a new model was coming out).....Works fine with it, if you use dye ink and not pigment ink. Dye ink is less prone to clogging....Prints great A3 pics when needed :y I did have to unclog one the heads a while back after about 6 months of not using it....but usually if i dont use it for a month or two....several head cleaning routines are enough to to clean the heads and reprime the tubes from the CIS :y
As for the cheapie £30 Epson i have downstairs for quick print jobs.....ie emails/etc, i use use cheapie cartridges in it.....ok it whinges sometime the carts arent original, but still prints ok :y

I hate it when doing a 'quick 10 minute job', you go to use a tube of silicone that has been used before, but you thought you'd sealed it up, only to find that it's all gone off in the nozzle and you spend 20 minutes digging all out so you can finish the original 10 minute job! ::)
Anyone got any good tips in how to seal the bloody things up properly? ??? ;D
-
A screw in the end, but it all goes off eventually. Cam cover and cooler plate goo is similar. :(
-
Take some plastic bag place over the the thread and screw the nozzle back on , works every time :)

Oh yeah, so, what we want to do there is, go out and spend a few grand on another car. That way saving loads of money, right?
Except that other car won't have a forum like this one to help fix it. Then it gets properly expensive. ;)
....unless its a Lexus/Toyota ime. But then, they ain't cheap either. Are they. ;)
