No way, exact same thing happened to me last night. He had the spread rate turned way up. I don't remember ever getting sprayed that bad. Was raging!

firstmini
Ha ha. He was a complete idiot, knew I was there and pulled out as I was next to him-dread to think if I'd hit him at 50mph I'd be in trouble so would he!

Correction - if he'd hit me!

Love my awful old work computer...... I get to sit around while the IT guys scratch their beards and get very confused.

littlemissmagic
Lol thats exactly what the guys here say but the company is too cheap so not my fault if I cant be as productive... :P It really is soooo slow...

That's what we have, any problem is first "sorted" by try turning it off and on :)

It is rather annoying when a deadline a far away but you already know you aren't going to make it

Vinay-RS
Yeah that is not fun. An open office space should have a good vibe otherwise what's the point

Another trip to A&E to have metal swarf removed from my eye! The goggles are useless!

I'm tempted to try anything at this moment. This is like the 8th time it's happened over the last year!

Ouch! Is it when your grinding? Try a welding mask.
Jan 27 2015 11:40 AM -
Steve220
According to the eye infirmary it's common to have swarf in your hair after grinding and it fall into your eye. You can't win! Lol

have zero respect for bini owners after having a 64 plate mini clublman sat within inches of the rear bumper of the mini with it headlamps on fully/flashing as the speed limit (30mph) clearly wasn't fast enough.

-
1984mini25
Well the complete dick was that impatient to get past, they chose to over take the wrong side of a diving bollard and speed off at I'd estimate at over 3 times the speed limit in a 30.

If they were 6'5" and built like the terminator then I'd be questioning why they're driving a bini ;)

Because they couldn't get someone else's jeans, boots or motorcycle :-(
