My sister thought that if a car was coming round a roundabout and it wasn't indicating you could pull out, until I informed her otherwise after we nearly got killed.

Passed her test first time:ohmy: :nono: Shows what blonde hair and big tits can do for ya.

People who equate fox hunting to class, rather than the logical fact that fox hunting with dogs is not an effective method of pest control.

You know better, Simster!
I'm not saying that. I'm saying I dislike toffs who moan at the law being "undemocratic". Other fox hunting supporters may have their own arguments against the ban, and I can respect that. But not from toffs who - in most cases - seem to have society set up to suit their needs. Whether it's favourable tax laws, or the fact that hereditary UNDEMOCRATIC peers still exist in the upper house.

Consequently, when the democratic process was done with this piece of law-making (despite hours of time wasting), I find it pretty galling to hear toffs moaning that it was "undemocratic".

Finally HS, I am well aware that not all fox hunting supporters are posh - my own step-sister often rode on hunts. She is, however, very boring and as thick as pig shit. So if anyone is making presumptions around here, it's you!

Good ones! Also people that don't indicate on a roundabout :censored:

and those that think the right hand lane on roundabouts is for overtaking and cutting up the car in front. Wankers

Having a boss who knows less about your job than you do yet still insist on telling you how to do it! :censored:

Yup, got one of those!
 








People who think that we have to have an Englishman as England manager because a Swede hasn't done a particularly great job.

Its like saying that we should only ever right-handed managers from now on cos Graham Taylor was left-handed and he wasn't very good.

4)people who don't know how roundabouts work.. left hand lane - left and straight ahead, right hand lane - right ONLY.


Not sure I agree with you on that one. From the Highway code...

When taking the first exit
signal left and approach in the left-hand lane
keep to the left on the roundabout and continue signalling left to leave.
When taking any intermediate exit
select the appropriate lane on approach to and on the roundabout, signalling as necessary
stay in this lane until you need to alter course to exit the roundabout
signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want.
When taking the last exit or going full circle
signal right and approach in the right-hand lane



So it is not actually wrong to go staright over in the right hand lane. I think. Or am I just trying to justify my bad and aggressive driving?

Possibly. I learnt to drive this year (with a clued-up recently-qualified driving instructor) and was told that, for any exit to the right of 12 o'clock, it's the right-hand lane; for anything else, left-hand lane as you approach the 'bout.

Only allowed if there is a two lane exit a la Kingston.

Of course all this is bollocks if the markings in the raod indicate otherwise. a la Newhaven (Denton Roundabout)

General rule of thumb;

First exit;

Left lane
Indicate left on approach
Indicate left on roundabout

Second exit (assuming it is before 12 o'clock)
Left lane
Don't indicate on approach
Indicate left after you have passed the first exit

Third exit (assuming it is after 12 o'clock)
Right lane
Indicate right on appraoch
Indicate left when you have passed the second exit


None of the above applies at the 7 dials. In this case you simple put your head and your foot down and pray.

people who leave the lights on al the time. People who switch the hot water on for a bath - then forget to switch it off. People who use stuff in the kitchen and then don't put it away.


Apologies for going all domestic. Aaaarrrgghhhh.

Rear fog lights. These are the worst things ever invented for cars. In ALL conditions they are more dangerous to have switched on than off as they dazzle and you cant see brake lights.

All cars should be recalled and have them removed. The person who invented them should be recalled and have their kneecaps removed.

They're nowhere near as bad as people driving at night time when there's absolutely no fog or mist whatsoever with their front fog lights on :tosser:
