Went shopping in Sainsbury's.
Driving out in the turning right lane and the drive shaft snapped at both ends.
I have broken a few drive shafts in my time, but I have never broken one at both ends before. The UJ at the diff has flanged to the point that it has spread beyond the pin and at the other end the splined shaft from the gearbox has snapped.
So, there is a drive shaft in the road and all the cars who want to turn right are driving around it in the turn left lane, then pulling back into the turn right lane behind my truck, with its hazards on, and tooting their horns.
What is wrong with people?

It's quite interesting and worthy of conversation.
Certainly I would think that those who know me well here might want an update of this kind, if only to spark conversation.
Certainly I care, as my car is a bit knackered. The drive home was fun, with a Smart car stopping me to tell me about it.

I have asked around, and it seems that Colin Firth probably would like to know as well.
Why do you ask?

those shoddy shopping trolley
things they dont make them like they used to comment, was destroyed by the mention of your drive home.
edit : but why did you drive the trolley home? surely its the mandate of the supermarket to fix the problem.

On Friday I snapped my frame on my Dawes - I am not having a good week.
I snapped the head tube as well, and they never snap - I have been riding this bike for 21 years and now I have to replace the frame, after which it will be like Trigger's broom.

Because I build cycle trails as a volunteer for the local FC,
I have a lot of daughters, and I cannot environmentally justify two vehicles for the minimal road driving I do, since you ask.

They're unthinking, that's whats wrong with them.
If you want to see how shit people are at driving, ride a motorbike. Somehow it attracts dolts and the generally senile.
I've seen map reading done on a roundabout!
