SPAM random annoying things

[Gwadien]

That's definitely on my list. Right after people who email you back after they know you've left or will be away so you come back to unnecessary nonsense chasing emails.

See.

I spoke to my Diss supervisor AGES ago about doing my reference for my Teacher Training.

He's now done my reference (because UCAS tells you) and then I got an email today saying 'Your reference is done'

I DONT KNOW WHETHER TO THANK HIM OR NOT

I love sharing what people post on facebook on Freddyshouse.

Really we dont. But you wont read this anyway.

Outlook and its download only 1 years worth of email setting. I have just migrated 10 mailboxes to hosted Exchange and was very confused when the mailbox sizes were nothing like they should be. It took me about 3 hours to clock that stupid little slide bar and now I am going though the whole process again.

Cyclist cunts who have those halogen 100000watt FLASHING fucking front lights. How fucking distracting both heading toward you and seeing you in my rear view/side mirrors.

Think I will use my high beam in protest next time.

 

[Scouse]

I can sympathise with that deeblar. Riding in the night on roads, especially in the wet, is a mare tho. I'd rather be seen than hit - and normal lights don't show up any better than reflections - but you can point the big uns down to the floor so as not to blind people...

It's the flashing that fucks me off. Burning white light on my retina. Cunts.

 

[Raven]

Its the same as cunts in 4x4s with stupidly bright headlights that need adjusting. I just stick the fullbeam on.

 

[Moriath]

I really dontsee the point in flashing lights back and front on a bike they should be stable normal lights like a car has to have.

 

[Raven]

I don't mind them so long as they aren't completely over the top and unsafe. I would rather a cyclist had them than not. Nearly took one out the other day, black clothes, all over the road, no lights, idiot.

There is a difference between no lights, a steady light and a fucking disco strobe light.

 

[old.user4556]

I refer to them as "cunt beacons".

 

[soze]

They piss me off nearly as much as fuck pigs with flashing blue Christmas lights on the front of their houses. So you spend you whole night looking behind you to see if there is an Cop / Ambulance / Fire Engine behind you.

Battery life is the main reason. Visibility is the next one.

I run my fronts on full (get max 2 hours out of them) - because I need to see where I'm going. Rear I set on flashing because I'm not using it to see anything and it makes the arseholes that buzz me way too close at least think "ah, bike" rather than thinking I'm a moped or something.

I nearly took a biker out today. Passing befor a traffic island, gave him loads of room. But as I just got beside him he stood up and went to sprint mode which made things a little tight. He knocked on my window and apologised he said he did not see me overtaking so I said sorry as well as his burst of speed took me by surprise. We fist bumped and he rode away leaving me in traffic. I feel like he is a lost friend now.

Top of my list are still conversations that start "I've just sent you an email".

Not sure if people who do that have actually fathomed how email works.

Also the remote working version, which is usually a Hangout conversation, about 90 seconds after they've sent the fucking email.

Pics, or definitely didn't fucking happen.

Before I download it, does BitTorrent have adverts?

uTorrent has recently added adverts with sound on.

So I uninstalled uTorrent.

What are you talking about? BitTorrent own uTorrent.

Just go install Deluge, problem solved.

Yeah, I knew that, just was unsure if they used the same ads.

Never had that issue when i were a lad. Guess the lights werent as powerful. But used to cycle a lot before car and dont remember having shares in duracel.

 

[Scouse]

Yep they weren't - but that's my point about old shit lights being not enough, especially on wet nights.

 

[caLLous]

The lights I had on my bike were basically torches with the light perpendicular to the housing. They were shit and the batteries still didn't last long (and these were big bastards - size C I think).

 

[soze]

My friend who likes his off the beaten track Cycling using something like this, and has spares like this to extend his riding time. And it is fucking bright.

 

[Scouse]

Fucking hell.

The food industry is unwittingly turning our healthy veg into 'junk food'...

There is a difference between no lights, a steady light and a fucking disco strobe light.

Which is why I use this at night:

Philips SafeRide 80 LED Bike Light battery front light

It's very bright but more importantly, has a properly-shaped beam that acts like a car's headlamp and doesn't dazzle other road users. Basically, it illuminates the road and not the trees above my head. Sadly, Philips no longer make this light, but there are plenty of others under the "stvzo" banner. My rear light though, well motorists can fuck off, my rear light is like a miniature sun and I don't care who it hurts.

I wish more cyclists would use them but many of the guys I see will happily spend a few hundred quid on a carbon fibre component while moaning like fuck about a £50 light. And then they're the first to complain when their house gets burned down by the shit Chinese batteries they bought.

Looks good, I'll have to wonder down into the garage once the weather eases up to see what I have on my bike now (not been on it for a long long time).

 

[Raven]

I have some LED thingies but I attach them to my bike correctly so that they point at and angle so as to illuminate the road. Nice and bright and take British made AAs (they also take Chinese made ones too) £20 or so, not burst into flames yet.

Fucking snackbars have been ruining our bath-spots. They are touching females (from 10-20~ years) in bad spots, so they are putting officers there. Fucking deport their asses.

 

[Raven]

But, but food!
