Just kidding mate, each to his own - that's what it's all about

I agree - I chucked mine in ages ago

Damned straight - bunch of backward-thinking sludge that has the bare-faced cheek and affront to try and associate itself with science! And they can take Tam Cruise with them! (much as I did enjoy 'Rainman' and 'A Few Good Men').

Quite, that was hilarious Bad experience with a clown?

I'd like to add those Halfords adverts that bookend the commercial breaks on Dave - honestly, could they be any more inert and unfunny!?

Great list, LewisScoob Oh yes, oh yes

How close 'up behind them' are we talking here?

What did you see, and was it any good? If not, then feel free to punt it into SIDC Room 101 And if we're binning movies, I'll drop "Bowfinger", "The Fast and the Furious", "Rocky IV" and any 2000s remake of any of the classics

Was wondering how long it'd be before someone mentioned that insufferably smug wee flannel

Another: Inaccurate weather reports that promise dry weather, lulling you into cleaning your Scooby, only to find yourself on the road two hours later with lorries and buses slushing past you from the opposite direction... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Of course! The more the merrier - erm, I mean - grumpier Asbo-fecking-luterly!Also, bad manners get on my wick, e.g. People who don't show gratitude when you hold a door open for them. People who don't place the 'Next Customer Please' bar on the conveyor belt behind their shopping in the supermarket. Non-waving Scooby drivers!

I thought so too... as long as the traffic is pretty much stop-start? To be fair though, the thread's not so much about what's legal and what's not - more about what gets on your respective goats I'm more concerned about those Kamikaze bikalists who think it prudent to squeeze between a lorry and a car on a free-flowing motorway at 90mph

Not another feral cat stakeout, I hope?

Yep, this is my experience too... often wondered if it's because I don't drive much at night...

I reckon you're right... but I don't think I need a swallae half as much as some of the Daily Mail readership that appear to have turned out for the thread... (don't mention single mothers or diminishing pension funds to them - like a red rag to a bull ). Never mind, some choice ales lined up at the bottom of the fridge tonight

Another few to get off my chest: Traffic 'calming' islands. Speed humps. New roundabouts, especially those that take in the region of two years to build... (the Empire State Building took less than 14 months to erect!).

I was at Braehead retail park once with my (able bodied) mate. Not content with parking in a disabled space, he actually made a point of parking diagonally across two of them. To say that I was a bit embarrassed would be rather like saying that Pol Pot was a wee bit mean-spirited...

Aye, and today wasn't much better... thinking of taking up the fags again

I didn't think you could get within 50 yards of a smoker these days even if you wanted to... I gave up years ago... seldom bothered me since then, before the public smoking ban or after. If smoke ever came my way and I didn't like it, I'd usually exercise my own free will, discretion and self-preservation by erm... moving away from it It's a radical idea, but evidently not for everyone

Quality...

You must have some stories to tell about that?

I'll add: Almost any new legislation that is introduced to supposedly 'save lives'. Yes, that's a little emotional trick the government like to play on an unwary public when they're planning to: - Raise taxes (road tax - environmentally friendly, green, saves lives). - Add a new stealth tax (more speed cameras, saves lives). - Strip you of your civil liberties or other consumer freedoms (smoking ban, minimum pricing for alcohol - saves lives). - Invade your privacy (more CCTV, snooping on emails to identify 'terrorist networks', saves lives). How about locking us in our houses and feeding us through our letterboxes? That could save thousands of lives!
