I thought it was a good gag!!Wah!

I’m not sure they can fix the terminally stupid...
Why?why dont they put overhead warning boards with lights and sirens further back, or excavate the roadway
there is a bridge in South London that used to get whacked, about 200 metres away it has a set of optical beams, break them and red lights come on to stop the trucks, most times it works !!
Yup, me too....didn't check that the ring adjustor was locked in place. Oopsy!In the first lockdown I bought a pair of clippers rather than brave the barbers - normally I sport a fairly short haircut but rather than muck about I just shave it down to a one all over. They only cost £25, you set the length with a rotary dial and they are pretty good.
But the clippers go down to a 0.5 - and I use that to blend in my sideburns.
Of course I managed NOT to check the dial before giving it the once weekly all over on the Friday night. And did I start on the sides where I could perhaps blend it in - of course not. I gave it the full reverse mohawk.
And this is not the first time - at least this time my clippers juice didn’t run out halfway through the cut. At least I can’t go out anywhere...
Been there, done that back when I still had hair. Started off on setting five. Halfway through had to pull the end off to unclog the works. Put the end back on and accidentally - and unnoticed - gave it a twist, adjusting down to setting one. Bzzzzzzzzz. Nice trench through the middle of my hair so deep it had an X-Wing and a couple of TIE fighters roaring down it. So, back to the start for my first all-over buzzcut.Of course I managed NOT to check the dial before giving it the once weekly all over on the Friday night. And did I start on the sides where I could perhaps blend it in - of course not. I gave it the full reverse mohawk.
All true. I have taken a covid job on the buses.Training drivers in the highway code? Fining them if they ignore road signs, especially flashing ones that say 'Too Low, Go Back'? Learning the route in a car? Half an hour briefing on 'Low bridges in our area?'
I deal with this sort of thing on a regular basis, someone sees an incident or has an incident, and as per the company policy reports it through the proper channels. Someone up high sees the the monthly statistics, and notices this incident. Now it may be that is happened before, in which case whatever they put in place isn't working, or it's new and unusual, in which case they have to come up with something new and unusual to stop it happening again. And of course it has to be done within the approved timescale for closure which means they rush it through because actions open longer than expected attract scrutiny for the higher, higher ups.You have to wonder how these people justify a policy like that, to themselves and their management. For a start, if I was their manager I'd want to see a risk assessment based on all the previous incidents of scalding and burns resulting from what would appear to be, human employees flinging their food over each other with gay abandon. How the fvck they manage to navigate their way around a cafe must be a joy to behold. However, the reality will be some supervisor who decided that he/she (probably she) would show that on their annual performance achievements they sought to create a safer working environment and that taking away hot food and drink was an easy target as all the really important things had been done by someone else. Add in a weak manager who approves it and box ticked, kpi achieved and bonus in the bank.
If anyone working for me came up with something like that for their performance achievement, they'd be looking for another job not long after.
Well, top marks for not letting go of the phone he was recording it on ... pillock!The Emperoror is on speed dial to these mongs

I would not be surprised if one of those idiots wasn't one of my brothers. Particularly the youngest one, who so annoyed the crews of several ARVs that when they caught up with him, he got red-dotted by just about every 5.56mm carbine H und K ever made...The Emperoror is on speed dial to these mongs

Even better.hire car? I'm sure the last one I hired had that sort of thing on it.
Hence the joke "Whats the second fastest car on the road? Your hire car" followed by "Whats the fastest car on the road? Someone elses hire car with you driving...."hire car? I'm sure the last one I hired had that sort of thing on it.
If only Stagecoach could learn lessons from this sort of thing Winchester school bus bridge crash leaves children injuredWe had one a few years ago near where I live. Fortunately nobody was killed, but some were seriously injured.
It was a school bus.
Driver who injured 18 schoolchildren in horror crash after ignoring low bridge warning signs is spared jail
It could easily have resulted in fatalities, so yes, good on Stagecoach.
We've got something like that here in Australia.There is one in Gloucester, where they undercut the road, its awesome when it floods, the 4 wheel drive brigade hammer in , and float out !!
There is also a water depth gauge to show him exactly how deep it is, but he ignored that too.We've got something like that here in Australia.
You'd think a guy standing on the side of the road pretending to fish in it would indicate that the water is deep, but that doesn't stop some people
