    I like the way that you insult somebody by claiming it is a saying from somebody else. It helps you pretend that that you didn't say it so makes you feel better.



    Oh you do make me laugh! What could be the possible advantage for me to pretend this was a saying from somebody else! And I believe you insulted me. I am only stating facts, based on the tone of your replies,..

    TBH I haven't a clue what relevance your GP or your husband possibly being in a care home has on your threat to block the side turning.


    It hasn't. You didn't bother to read the reply properly. Or perhaps you did, and chose to answer something that wasn't there in the first place.

    I make no judgement on your parking on a yellow or white line, a situation that could probably be argued successfully - see the guys on Pepipoo for that. It was your threat to block the road in contravention of both BB & road traffic rules that was commented on


    Once again, you need to read my comments before you reply to something that I didn't state. I didn't threaten to block the road in contravention of BB and road traffic rules. I said in future, I would park with all 4 wheels on the road. If I had done this in the first place, I wouldn't have had a fine.

    I'm wondering what really prompted your reply after I replied to Turnupforthebooks and to reply in such a fashion to those comments. It seem a bit OTT


    In your opinion, to which you are entitled, it seems OTT. In my opinion, to which I am equally entitled, it doesn't. Good night.

  • Sounds like Ryanair! Flew them 4 yrs ago and almost missed my fight because my friends said thats their policy. Ended up at an internet cafe. With Ryanair you pretty much get what you pay for...

    You should know what to expect when you buy a ticket from a low cost airline. Play them at their own game, and then you will be laughing.
    It's really easy to default to cynicism these days, since you are almost always certain to be right.

    Now, now... I used Ryanair a couple of months ago and everything was fine, I played by their rules and got to Spain for less than the price of a bus ticket to London.

    I used to fly Easyjet and found that they did not play silly games, so it was a relaxing experience as well as an affordable one.

    So a very cheap flight between the advertised locations on a brand new aircraft, run by an airline with one of the best punctuality records.

    Sounds good to me.

    That was my point. If you play by their rules it works out fine. It is the numpties who do not check everything that find out the hard way.

    No I make mistakes. I take my time when planning trips so am aware of the pitfalls. There have been plenty of times when I am the numpty.

    Thank you so much for your reply. I am aware that the BB doesn't absolve me from "being a numpty and obstructing traffic", which is why I partially parked on the pavement.


    As I clearly said, I've learnt my lesson thank you.




    No, I don't think I should get dispensation, just because I have a BB, but I am allowed to think it was mean, am I? Even if you disagree? It was an expensive lesson, especially as we're pensioners, but I agree I was wrong. The whole point of my post was that I was stating that I know now I was in the wrong, and I've learnt from my error.


    Alas, when you're trying to get a 75 year old toddler out of the car, and manoeuvre the walking sticks you're both using, you don't always check as much as you should. As I mentioned, he has severe Alzheimer's, and is apt to wander off.

    I shall now don my sackcloth and ashes, and hide in the corner. Happy New Year!
