I hate people that take ages at cashpoints. You need to top up your phone or check your balance on the other 3 accounts you have cards for, fine but do it when there's not a queue.
I hate people that just assume that the price on the item they want to buy doesn't apply to them. Usually indicated by the comment,
"is that the best price on that" or "What's the best price on that" or "any discount on that".
Especially as you answer "Yes, thats the price" and they go and buy it anyways.
I know I know, you don't ask and all that, but a number of years in retail I got really sick of hearing/being badgered about it every day.
I hate it when people don't bother to cancel bookings, particularly if they've made a big thing about how soon/quickly the work needs done.

Cheers for sharing it.

NP thanks Marky. On the off chance and if you remember, PM me that'd be great. I'm going to have a look about my area for courses as well I think.
Teach it in school's? Makes sense.

Thanks BBMF, at the time it felt very calm, weirdly. I don't know if that was because we already thought/assumed the worst or that the situation is made easier when someone isn't screaming in pain and there's blood and bone everywhere.
Clefty, yea I think the confidence and knowing what to do without panicing is a huge part of it.
I'd be interested,if that was an offer Marky, but unless it was evening's or sunday, my other days are pretty much chocked with work or looking after my wee one.

Just wondering how many of you have first aid skills, CPR that kind of thing?

An incident last night near my house where myself and 2 others were trying to help this old man who had collapsed via instructions from the 999 operative set me to thinking hard about it.
The man in question had fallen face first , wasn't breathing and we couldn't detect any circulation. In the event we were advised to carry out chest compressions till the paramedic then eventually the ambulance arrived and took over.

It's been a long time since I was on a first aid course, but vaguely remembered enough to go thru the airway, breathing, circulation checks and an idea of how to carry out chest compressions but not enough to be confident about what I was doing.

I guess where I'm heading in this is with the depressing number of rider down threads I wonder how many of you would know what to do.

St Johns ambulance run courses all over the place from first aid to emergency life support. They will also come to do courses for groups it seems provided there are the numbers and payment.

Have you any idea what the melting temp of the solder is?
I use a 'soft' and 'hard' silver solder at work but only joining silver, nickel silver, gold and occasionally platinum. Soft solder will melt to a lighter flame and the 'hard' solder needs a gas torch and quite alot of heat.
Regardless I don't think silver solder of whatever melting temp will form a decent enough bond with steel and I suspect you'd be better trying to go in a wielding/brazing type direction.
Or if it's decoration only, maybe that chemical steel repair stuff you can get?

From urban dictionary:

What if it's rubbing on the undergarments that you're not currently wearing or indeed if you're not wearing any undergarments at all..?

Dunno if it might be of help, but the following youtube crap has someone messing about with your phone. application folder on the top right option of the menu screen (so 2 clicks on the d-pad from the menu) then bluetooth being the fifth 5 one down on the applications screen.
