    When you are driving - within the speed limit - of course and using the middle lane because it is safer. Well actually it is these great electric blue cab lights in articulated lorry cabs with a Merc symbol or 'Ronnie's Transport' The mentality of the person installing this to give the impression that his lorry is actually a supernova preceeding the arrival of God as opposed to the reality that Ronnie is a stunted burger eating tw@ who wazzes in a lucozade bottle and chucks it out the window like some diabetes bomb.

    Is it the c**ks who stick in the middle lane that annoy you, or lorry drivers? Or both, I can't tell. :shock:
    If its the middle lane jockeys I'm with you on that. :)

    "Campy" :evil: Ffs. It's Campag. Bloody everything gets americanised. There is even a "Campy tech lab" - sold their soul to the devil or in other words (yanks)

    When I say something like "This Nirvana song sounds like that McFly song" and someone says "Don't you mean the McFly song sounds like Nirvana?" erm well I mean it both ways because it is similar both ways. If one is similar to the other, then the other by default must also be similar, for there to even be any similarity at all. There's no "timeline" to it or whatever.

    It depends which song you're listening to. If I was listening to McFly then yes, THEN I would say "This sounds like Nirvana". Do people do that stuff on purpose or what? The guy wasn't joking or anything. :?

    I mean you wouldn't listen to the Nirvana song and say "Sounds like Nirvana".

    Which came first don't enter into it. Doesn't to me anyway.

    People who refer to their road bike as their 'roadie'. When as we all know, a roadie is someone who rides a road bike.

    Beginners who having got their first bike and ask for advice on it and how to ride, then go out for a ride and tell us all about their first 'run'.

    Drivers who pull as far over to the left as they can because a vehicle in front of them is waiting to turn right, even though there is no way they can get through and they will have to wait for the turning vehicle to move anyway. It's not as if they are going to get moving any quicker but they'll just block the road anyway. Selfish idiots.

    I hate it when your lander module chickens out of sitting in the sun when it lands on a comet preferring to sit next to a cliff - I think they are hiding in order to masturbate without the mother ship seeing.

    Right firstly a 'roadie' is some degenerate paedo with greasy long hair who is employed by a band (with hopefully a large and undiscriminating female teenage following)to take drugs and occasionally move speakers around.

    Secondly if you choose to listen to them then you take the consequences. People who are attentive to tales of a first run are usually harbouring dark thoughts about his teenage sister.

    One I've meant to add before. People who drive to the gym and park as close as possible to the entrance (I've even seen then use the disabled parking). In many cases these people spend the whole time in the gym running (or worse, walking) on the treadmill. Am I missing something?


    I find it in every car park. Where people are too lazy to walk from one side of the car park to another. Because I want to prevent my car from getting scratched or dented by some pond life, I always park as far away from the door of the supermarket as possible.

    Regards, walking on the treadmill... Maybe they're injured, unfit / just starting out, warming up or doing intervals? Here's one for you to try, try ramping up the incline to 15% and walking backwards on the treadmill.

    I think you're missing the point. My issue is that they get as close as possible to the front door to avoid walking further than they have to and then spend their exercise time walking on a treadmill. Why not cut out the middle man and save a few quid by going for a walk from home? Or if they really want to go to the gym park at the far side and use the walk to the entrance to increase your activity time.

    I agree with this wholeheartedly. Really defeats the point. In addition to this I've seen on numerous occasions people then stopping at the gym front doors for a smoke before entering or immediately upon leaving the gym.

    Even more infuriating, there is a girl who regularly comes to my spinning class (late) because she's smoking outside and sods law is that she always chooses the bike next to mend breathes her smokey fag ash breath all over me.

    Whilst I on a roll just thought of another . . . . "BABY ON BOARD" signs.

    Thanks for letting me know, I was about to intentionally ram you off the road but I won't now :? .

    And "Caution Show Dogs in Transit" signs. I get an overwhelming desire to ram them just for the hell of it!

    Why 'caution' FFS? I have to exercise caution because you're carrying dogs? Yep, that one really boils my p155

    Don't complain too much. Those kind of "caution xxxxxx on board" stickers are actually a helpful sign that the driver is an idiot and you need to be extra careful around them.

    This, they are warning you that the driver thinks whatever they are carrying is more important than paying attention to the road so everyone else should be extra vigilant. I did like the episode of the Simpsons when Marge bought one and held it up proudly saying "Look, I bought this to stop people deliberately ramming me."

    Micky Flanaghan's Detour de France prog currently running on Monday nights. Tried to watch a couple last night and the man's an embarrassment, socially as well as on his bike. That's one series link record saved anyway. Dire, utterly dire tv.

    Doing an online IQ test, then finding out you have to pay for the results. So I still don't know whether or not I'm clever. :roll: :roll: :roll:
