So a good friend who I have known most of my life asks if they can borrow 3k and agree to pay back in instalments last December promising to arrange to start paying it in Jan ... this never happened and I let it roll till June knowing they were skint ... come July they contacted me and said they would start paying £200mth on the 28th of the mth July to November then 2k in December and each month I have to ask what's happening with the payment ... not once has it been on time and it me look like I'm hassling and chasing when all I want it clarity ... if you can't afford something don't promise it! And it's made a good friendship really awkward now as well!!
Never lend to friends. Give if you want to, but never lend. Wrong thread though; it's hardly unreasonable to be annoyed.The rude moron at a wedding I attended on Friday really got my back up.
I was an usher and asked to get to the reception venue a bit earlier so I could keep a couple of spaces for wedding cars. I'm stood there and cue middle aged bloke pulling up right next to me. I lent down to the passenger window to get his attention but was ignored, engine of and him strutting out of the car. Before I even had a chance to ask him he just goes, "I'm staying tonight" as if to dismiss me questioning him parking there. The guy had a massive attitude.
I explained to him that I was asked by the groom to keep the space (right next to the entrance!) free for the wedding cars. i was totally taken aback by the guys dismissive, self righteous attitude bearing in mind I had a smile on my face and tried to be friendly. Tricky to be confrontational when it's situation like that as he seemed the kind of guy to kick off if I'd spoken up a bit more.
Came across as the kind of embittered middle aged guy who struts round like he owns the place and drives like a tool but of course it's 'everyone else'!

Yes to both. Actual proper public celebrations - Diwali, Guy Fawkes, Hanukkah maybe, New Years both Anglo and Chinese, fine. Four or five times a year. I'd be absolutely delighted if the public couldn't buy fireworks at all the rest of the time and indeed to see people nicked for setting them off on small residential streets etc.
^this bold bit.It's New Year or New Year's Day but never "New Years" - I blame the Murkins for this.

Cyclists with retina damaging white flashing front light. Yes I can entirely see the point of you not being hit and I applaud your safety attitude but there are a few things.
Why have it pointing upwards so it dazzles on coming traffic and causes a distraction.
Why have zero rear lights?
Why wear all black clothes rather than some hi-viz jacket?

As a part time commuter cyclist I agree. As a car driver Ive found it harder to place a flashing light than a solid light, for that reason I have a solid light pointing at the tarmac in front of me.Why have it pointing upwards so it dazzles on coming traffic and causes a distraction.

p.s Three rear lights

Foglights.
Oh g*d yes. It seems that about one driver in every few hundred, at best, knows when they are actually required, and how to turn them on in the vehicle they are driving.
Tiny side annoyance beyond reason to the adaptors of my van who saw fit to leave the fogs control in a location such that turning them on involves first finding a safe place to stop.
