£100 fine for wearing no seatbelt for a roughly 90 meter journey on a slow 30mph road, and £30 fine for driving slightly on the bus lane on an empty clear road, both on the same day in Glasgow, [LIFTED] Glasgow and citys in general, a tough reminder why I hate citys

You get no sympathy for the seat belt, but you do get if clipping the white line of the bus lane.

its beyond me why anyone would want to live in a dirty crowded polluted city, its just rows of takeaways traffic lights and buildings and really hard to navigate anywhere, makes me feel like a hamster stuck in a cage that can only go certain places of the cage at certain times, ill stick to living beside the ww2 littered beach I reckon, makes me realise how lucky I am

As I get older I grow increasingly sick of city life - I'm surrounded by roads, a railway line and a flight path! The noise is getting to be unreal Apart from that, people are getting worse... If I could find a way to currently live out in the sticks with an internet connection I would. At the moment it's gonna be buying a house somewhere central in Belfast and seeing how things play out a year or two afterwards.

I was right - the Bluetooth keyboard that is the Recreated ZX Spectrum has some letting issues on the keyboard.  Top - the replica Bottom - an original ZX Spectrum It's the red lettering you are looking for. On the original, it's Helvetica on the new one, it's Arial - a font not around in 1982. What is odd is that the replica uses Helvetica for some of the text on the keys. You go to all the effort to recreate something like this, and you miss a detail like that.

Teen prosecuted as adult for having naked images – of himself – on phone | US news | The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015 ... ne-selfiesEvery time I consider what a trip to America would be like, I remember sh1t like the above, airport security, and the fact that I'm likelier to be shot to death there than I am in Belfast.

Just got home. A five hour trip that turned into a thirteen hour one thanks to road closures and traffic on M11/into London, and a tyre puncture on the way back. Oh and apparently it's all my fault!
