    So I go to the food court at BIG C (wife's idea). Order Japanese style food, receive food, pay etc. Spot the little trolley thingie with cutlery so make my way over. Slide tray onto the ledge on the cutlery holder, let go off tray to retrieve cutlery BUT the ledge is not the full width of the tray and gravity being what it is the tray, plate and food end up lodged against my shorts.

    What kind of moron designs and make a ledge on a cutlery holder that is not the same width as a standard food court/canteen tray. Aaaah
    Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?
    I apologize if any offence was caused. unless it was intended.

    ^Oops...I think you're supposed to put your food on the table then walk over to the cutlery dispenser.

    What kind of moron puts their food tray on a cutlery holder that is not the same width as the food tray?

    You're supposed to rest the outside half of the tray on the counter, and the closer half on your beer gut.

    Went into my local computer shop today and politely asked have you any cases for a Nexus 7.
    And the highly trained computer sales man replied what size is it.
    I walked out with out uttering another word.

    Hang on to that, Kit!

    The Hello Kitty collectable market will be extraordinarily valuable in a decade plus.

    Wife's family killed a pig today. she's been invited over for the feast. I'm a vegetarian fortunately.

    She actually asked me if I wanted to go. They're boiling the head this afternoon for this evenings meal.

    I think I'll go poke my eyeballs out now.

    STOP LIGHTS!!!!. Oh God how I hate them. I feel like a GDamn Rat in a maze experiment. The US has them every 100 yards. Drives me nuts. Amazing how people can sit at them never wondering if they are broke. They will absolutely wait until that light turns green! This morning I came to an intersection. Cars in front of me just sitting. Light not cycling. I finally drove around them on the shoulder, stopped and went. I looked back and they still were sitting. People are so F'n brain dead here and controlled. Everything is programmed for them. "Do this, don't do that". "You have to wait". "Stop you can't do that it's against the law". Then someone goes against the controls they follow and they look at you like you are crazy. Bunch of surrogate dip shits.

    They're called traffic lights in the real world.

    At the other extreme, in my town here there is one stoplight. It's at the far end of town and is a pain to deal with as it is timed rather than making use of traffic sensors to more efficiently operate. It wastes time when you have to sit there waiting for no other vehicles.

    That said, at times I actually wish there was at least another traffic signal in the middle of town to control the traffic on the main highway during peak hours. Without one, trying to cross the road is risky business as the stream of traffic can just keep coming and coming.

    I came from an urban environment that had never ending traffic signals and it drove me nuts too. I never would have thought I would actually want more signals.

    I agree they serve a purpose in some cases, specifically what you mentioned but they should be on a sensor and not a timer.

    Here they are just over done and excessive. Too many to control people that need personal driving management intervention as they are incapable of driving without some one telling them how. Cattle comes to mind.

    ^Don't they have cameras at every stop light in San Jose JPPR? A good reason to wait it out rather than the ticket by proxi mail from the BIB don't ya think?

    I never sit at a traffic light in Thailand if I use my brain acknowledging the source of these obstacles to free travel, clear traffic in every direction and always make the left turn on traffic light, same as you do in America on right turns at corner stops. Thai's will wait endlessly at non functioning traffic lights. While at the opposite end of that spectrum they will almost always run a red light when it suits them on the tail end of a yellow.
    I like Thailand for the reason there's really no hard and fast rules for almost anything. Even with the few rules you need to comply with, Immigration there's always a loophole somewhere to be found.
    Agree Americas caught up in its legalese and is strangling itself into an ultimate police state. You need to gt out soon...Hows the house build going?
