- Comment on Roads at 'breaking point' as pothole repairs hit eight-year high, report claims 8 months ago:
I was shocked to find a particularly bad stretch near me to have had all of the potholes filled a while back.
Most of them came back after a month, but still, it was nice to not have to play dodgems on this stretch for a bit.
Also, anybody driven on the M48 eastbound between Newport and Bristol recently? Holy shit is it bad.

Maybe, but i never came across them.

maybe i got lucky to somehow hear them over my tinnitus. and no, if you live around them long enough, its not just a fan spinning (which will get noisy over time when they get manky and imbalanced, which in turn causes secondary vibrations). personally, i prefer air to air heatpumps i had when i lived in nz. not the noisy bastards i put up with in sweden.
that said, despite my hearing loss and tinnitus, i can pick up on annoying sounds nobody notices until i point them out.

Fly by night cowboys always seem to pop up whenever there’s a govt grant involved. Then several years down the line you get countless stories of botched installs ruining houses (cavity wall and loft insulation for example)

All of them? Sure, some were clearly rattly old things with knackered bearings, but they are not silent and stick out like a sore thumb when they click on at night.
But im sure I’ll be told my experiences are wrong.

If all my neighbours had heatpumps installed the noise would drive me mad. I don’t think my sanity would last due to lack of sleep.
Houses where i am are so close together.

Fast asleep. My dog sleeps through anything except for the rustling of a plastic bag or me getting my keys.
- Comment on Wales' 20mph speed limit: How has the first month gone? 1 year ago:
I’ve barely noticed it where I am. In fact some roads have increased to 30 in caldicot.
However, what I have noticed is so many a-roads and motorways are 50mph. It takes a fucking age to get to Cardiff or abergavenny because so much of the route is 50mph. The m48 is all 50 because they found the barriers unsafe and, if the m32 is anything to go by, the barriers will never be sorted.

I’m suddenly reminded of that dying man who mooned a speed camera only for loads of police to swarm his house later on.
