I cannot believe that was a football. A knackered wiper blade for the whole of last winter, maybe.
It's a half moon shape scuff in the area where the ball bounced off the glass and only appeared after the ball/screen interface. I'm no detective, but...
I had a mark on my paintwork on a previous car, definitely caused by a football. Or more accurately the damned grit stuck to the football as a result of some Muppet kicking the damned thing around on a concrete car park right after it had rained...

...I even heard the impact, but by the time I'd stormed outside to find out what had happened, the two (unidentified) miscreants involved were legging it behind the scruffy block of flats opposite. irked

Probably not appropriate for here but I don't know where else to rant, not looking for advice just venting.

My son has DMD and has reached 16, he has decided to refuse all treatment from now on, the hospitals response? ok we can't force him. His mothers response? he's 16, what do you want me to do push him there?

Yes, yes I fking do you knob!

Jesus fking Christ!

I assume that is the filter then air that makes its way into the car interior is filtered through. If it is, firstly you can get some nasty bugs live in there and also it's often the reason the air conditioning doesn't work properly.
I recently serviced my shed (15 years and 130000 miles old) and replaced the cabin air filter, which I assume had never been done before. The old filter was one of the filthiest most disgusting things I've ever seen! There's a noticeable improvement in air quality in the car now.

On topic: shop assistants who, when you hold out your hand for change, put down the receipt, followed by notes, followed by coins in that order. Cue undignified juggling (of course I've already picked up whatever I was buying and probably haven't got a bag) to get things in the right hands so receipt can go in the bin, notes in wallet and coins in pocket.

My wife has spent much of her life treating children with DMD. I'll ask her advice, if you'd like. I doubt the hospital can force him but she might know of some counselling that would be available for him.

I am humbled by your offer, thank you.

PM me with any more details that you think are relevant and I'll ask her. She's away at the in-laws at the moment so it will take some time to get an answer - I won't see her face-to-face till Friday.

I'm not medical so I have no idea if she can help but I'd bet she's seen it before.

What annoys me is when you hold out your hand for the change, and they carefully put it on the counter.

Long ago I used to work on the other side of the counter, and had certain customers who would place their payment on the counter. I knew who they were, would wait as long as possible then quickly slide my hand under theirs. It was my way of counteracting the extreme boredom.

You'd hate Austria, then. Standard etiquette there to put change on a little plate on the counter (if it is Austria I'm thinking about)

Shop assistant. That's me then. The customer is always right.

People in here fighting over the air-con. At the moment it's at a comfortable temperature, but there's always a girl who'll complain it's cold. One of them is a bit thick, one of the lads said it's warm and she turned and yelled "well put a fking jumper on then!" It took a while for her to think about what she said after sending the whole office in hysterics rolleyes

Sorry, it has to be Lily Allen for complaining to the press that older people are rude for talking loudly on public transport whereas the young are much better because they communicate by text and picture.
