Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Please no moralising on the situation but have a quick query. Hypothetically if a friend was stuck in traffic not moving and needed to text his boss to tell him he was late, and some creep in the lane next to him starts videoing him with their dash cam, can he be pulled up for it at all if they report him? Surely leaning forward fiddling with a dash cam is more distracting anyway than sending a quick text? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they can be used for footage of driving but I doubt that falls within whats legal. Could be wrong like but sounds pretty ropey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the police bothering with it unless it went viral on youtube and the press picked up on it, which sounds unlikely. And if it was the driver fiddling with the dash cam rather than a passenger he's as likely to get a warning as your friend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the creep hasn't been able to film the number plate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because they were barely moving for ages and my mate’s lane eventually went ahead I have no doubt he was able to video the reg at some point. Guy looked like a total gimp, probably bullied in school. Or could’ve been an off duty police officer in which case definitely bullied in school. Had a private reg too, wee weasel of a guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guy got done in Aberdeen a few years back, using his laptop at the traffic lights. He was caught by a cyclist.

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Has anyone been to Marble Global Buffet in Glasgow? Any good? The wife has - just for a lunch mind you - and said it was very good, a step above your usual World Buffet place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 @Zen Archer Esq. Noisy pipes after water has been turned off to fit new kitchen sink. Same thing happened earlier in year after water off for a couple of days after new bathroom. Cannae mind how i fixed it. When i look online for solution it just tells me about water hammer. Im pretty sure its not that as its not just when tap is turned off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure its not that as its not just when tap is turned off. Sometimes it could be a ballcock filling up that can cause it, mainly in cold water tanks, WC's not so much. In a cold water tank a wave action is created and the ball float starts oscillating causing the valve to open and close rapidly hence the pipework will 'hammer' Another cause could be the mains stop valve (screw down valve) with a loose jumper, this houses the washer and sometimes oscillates creating 'hammer' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last time i tried running all taps for 10 minutes. Then i switched off water opened them all tolet air in/out and then turned it on. I also think i turned pressure down. TBH it may have just sorted itself out over time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the cold water tank, take the lid off and see what's happening, if so, reducing the flow by turning down the valve could help, then hold down the ball float and fill the tank to the normal level and allow it to shut off on it's own. The stop valve may need repaired, sometimes footering with it, open up or closing down slightly could remedy the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
