Today I'm angry about.....
Moderator: Zulus Thousand of em
actually - i was quite unreasonably angry this morning when - on the radio - a miserable bloke was bleating on about how his wife's Toyota possibly has this recall-fault in that it occasionally doesn't stop revving when you take your foot off the accelerator..
he droned on aboput how she dare not use the car anymore - and how it was utterly dangrous because she could not stop it hurtling forwards and the brakes were no use and she had to pull on the handbrake too....
NO SHE FECKING DIDN'T!!!!! WHY NOT JUST SLIP IT INTO NEUTRAL - THEN IT CAN REV ALL IT FECKING WELL LIKES AND SHE CAN BE PERFECTLY STATIONARY!! some people should be stripped of their licenses!

I think this whole debate can be summarised as "all drivers other than me are clueless".Lord Kangana wrote:While we're on the subject, rights of way full stop. People are beyond cluless it seems these days as to what constitutes one. Like if theres a row of parked casr on your side of the road, its your hazard, and if I'm coming the other way, its my right of way. Its not difficult.

But you're quite correct on this one.

As well as - not instead of, Worthy. The singular benefit of triangular toast is that it offers optimum poppage of a runny yolk. Then switch to rectangular toast for the butties and moppage! Seemples!Worthy4England wrote:I'm please for you.superjohnmcginlay wrote:I like triangular toast.
I have nothing against triangular toast. Just noe with breakfast thanks. Bleeding stupid for making a butty out of.

So the singular benefit is lost somewhat.

Train drivers who either cannot swerve or cannot control the train when it does.
I mean, really! Surely they must be the lousiest drivers in the world given that the only roundabouts they need to worry about are turntables.
I jest not. Last evening my ever so precious wife was a passenger on a train, a train which was delayed because of a landslip betwixt she and me. Eventually the driver was given the green light to proceed. And what did he proceed to do? Well, I'll tell you.
He, having passed the previous landslip (I'm assuming it was a 'he') trundled down the up line. Then, rounding a bend, met yet another landslip blocking the line. Did he swerve? No, he did not. The front powered unit proceeded to leap about and have talk with the side of the cutting through which it was passing. Now, tell me if I'm wrong, please, but don't trains have the right of way through cuttings and shouldn't the tonnes of earth which deposited themselves on the line have recognised this?
At least the love of my life arrived home safe and well.

You must be missing British Trains down there with those efficient sounding Aussie ones Dujon. One of my favourite memories of Virgin (yes they have trains aswell) from a myriad of cock-ups, delays and general crapness happened when, after having sat stationary for over half an hour surveying the beauty of the English countryside in complete silence, the annoncement was heard "We apologise for the delay, but the driver appears to have taken a wrong turn".
About 30 miles wrong turn, as it turned out. You couldn't make this kind of sh*t up, no matter how hard you try.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
