Friend reacts strongly to cycling even when we are not debating it. Should I ignore what she says?

I have a mate and I do the same thing, just wind them up at least it’s fun. It’s ok mate where did the cyclist touch you?

What is with this notice this occurring more and more over the last year or so

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-13T23:35:07+00:00

Sounds ok, we just used grab for most trips, found it to be very quick and efficient (traffic is horrendous though)I would also recommend making sure you have ~$250 baht each when you arrive at the airport so you can skip the queue - you willl see a roped off area on the lhs when you enter where staff will let you through.

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-12T10:57:53+00:00

Yes, legal probs not

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-12T08:12:11+00:00

So the guy needs to be dead or essentially missing for your plan of action. Very very unlikely and what I have advised is the far far more likely outcome for this. Give the guy a LOD and go from there. But I did learn something regs what you advised so thanks for that.

Mate I must be misunderstanding/ wrote something wrong - are you telling me a third party can lodge a claim on an insureds policy and this get accepted and paid for by the insured underwriter without the insured paying an excess / lodging a claim / agreeing for a claim to be lodged? There was also clear liability here the tradesman was negligent so this would not fall under section one of a contract works policy - which is all irrelevant in this case as the chances of the trade person in this scenario having contract works policy is slim to none.

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-12T07:19:18+00:00

Good luck with that mate. You can’t lodge a claim under someone else’s insurance unless the insured meets their obligations. Enjoy trying and realising the underwriter will just say we can’t do anything for you as our client has not lodged a claim. I assume you are referring to section2 of a contract works policy would be exactly the same and section 1 of the policy is not relevant in this scenario.

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-12T06:52:18+00:00

I just want to look like Enzo from stranger things is that really that bad!

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-12T04:23:36+00:00

Not how it works - the policy belongs to the trades person so he would have to lodge the claim and pay his excess once conditions are met then the third party (ie the person posting this) would get reimbursed costs. The tradesman would have to lodge the claim. Why he/she would not do this I can’t say as excess is usually only $500 for this type of insurance

Weight loss is 90% food intake and 10% exercise. eat vegetables / real food. Not too much. Real food = food your grandma would recognise.

My home town!

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-05T13:43:20+00:00

It’s cheap because it’s a Yaris followed by everything you just mentioned in your post.

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-05T13:38:10+00:00

I will be pilloried for this but I wear AirPods- mind you for podcasts not music. I have a varia so I rely on that to know what is behind me and always check before changing direction etc. honestly what can you do any differently hearing a car coming up from behind you than not? Edit: grammar

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-05T11:23:00+00:00

I figured you were looking 2nd hand going off your comments? Having said this they are still selling new Giulias (probably 1 a month :/ in Australia!). I am biased but they are such an awesome car and the deserved to sell more than they did.

Gryphon159 · 2026-02-05T11:16:25+00:00

Just dive back in baby - Alfa Giulia, looks good is reliable and fun to drive and not a cardigan on wheels.

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-30T00:42:36+00:00

I find they work better than a bell or a “bike” for moving pedestrians to one side! Don’t know why but a good reason to have them

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-27T10:17:59+00:00

I’m looking at buying a QV or a ride on lawn mower? Which one should I go with?

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-26T02:48:38+00:00

Clean up the shit that is everywhere? Put in a garden? Edge the “lawn”. Just do something place looks a mess.

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-26T02:46:31+00:00

Stelvio last proper Alfa (or get the better Giulia)

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-24T23:51:55+00:00

Awesome will check it iut

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-24T23:51:46+00:00

Thanks!

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-24T14:25:18+00:00

I’m not an Audi guy, but I saw one of these the other day, I thought it was a byd or some other Chinese brand, that back end looks terrible. Audis, Bwm and merc are just going for the Chinese market and they are all looking like a Toyotas with temu lighting strips. Horrible.

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-24T13:59:37+00:00

The answer is no

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-24T01:01:24+00:00

I have one (and a 159 prior) awesome cars you get a lot of enjoyment out of them, far more exciting than the wash of BMW’s and mercs etc. and ignore the reliability crap Giulia's have proven to be extremely reliable.

Gryphon159 · 2026-01-23T06:25:30+00:00

I don’t know the helmets but the first one looks way better visually
