    I drop my daughter off, go to the gym, go for a coffee and take a wander around town until it's time to pick her up again. It's hard to do that online. I also find a trip around the streets of Newport reminds me how fortunate I am ;)

    Nah, just lucky in comparison to the majority of inhabitants and that I live just outside the 'city'.

    Women shoppers, why is it that 99.999% KNOW they have to pay but whilst they have been queueing they have not bothered to get the purse out BEFORE they finish packing

    People who wrongly use the words "quantum leap"

    It is in fact the smallest leap possible, at a "quantum level" so stop using it to say "xyz" is a quantum leap in so and so, as you are saying that it is the smallest leap forward possible so in fact almost pointless.

    Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. There's something unseemly about it. Lots of working class people whipped up into a frenzy at the prospect of being given prizes. It's all positively Pavlovian.

    Needless to say the wife loves it.

    Another one. Buying a box of assorted home made fudge for wife, then forgetting where I hid them.

    To be fair they probably think the other lot are just scousers with head colds.

    People who base their bike buying decisions solely on the weight of the frame and or overall weight. Yes weight is a factor but ffs unless you're racing at a decent level then what's a couple of pounds? I've had sh1ts that must have weighed more than a couple of pounds!!

    In a similar vein to one of my previous additions, people who give wealthy people a licence to be rude, loud and arrogant because 'that's how they have become wealthy'.

    Another, northerners who assume 'down south' is all one place and that southerners are all the same, I mean, you'll soon here the difference when I've had a few beers and turn into a west country farmer... :wink:

    Surely that's after a few ciders? And stop perpetuating the myth that all West Country folk are carrot crunching yokels.

    Idiots who think a road bike fitted with anything other than 53/39 or 50/34 chainrings is radical and innovative.

    The next person whom I approach to pass who does not move because of their confounded headphones, I will rip them off your head and toss them!

    If you're going to fart along at 15 mph listening to tunes on your brand new Trek Crockett you can at least keep right. Same goes for people out for a club ride sitting 2 wide chatting it up not paying attention. Left, left, LEFTTTT!!!!

    When I go for a run or walk I know bikes will come. So I stay to the side within reason to make their pass as safe as I can.

    I won't even get into the 30 ft. long string of dog leashes across paths. :facepalm:

    (Note, I'm in the US, "left" vs. "right" may vary) :D
