Was driving back from Derby last night - me and them on an empty motorway and they purposely moved into the middle lane just to sit there instead. No idea what goes through the mind of people who drive like thatA-holes who drive down the centre lane of a motorway when not a car in sight
I've done this before but I might as well vent again. The standard traffic pattern on a four lane motorway is as follows
- Slow lane - loads of lorries doing 50mph
- Next lane - massive tailback behind one lorry who wants to overtake the others at exactly 50.1mph and will finish the manoeuvre some time next week
- Third lane - massive tailback behind drivers who don't want to get stuck behind a lorry but don't want to go any faster than f***ing 53mph either
- Fast lane - people who want to do a regulation 70mph who have been forced into this lane by the ***** in the other three lanes, while some psychopath doing 110 flies up their arse and starts weaving in and out of all available lanes doing their best to cause a multi car pile up

I see a lot like that. Join from a slip road, empty motorway ahead, move immediately to middle lane, set cruise control to 60 and sit until their exit, where the take the turn at the last minute with no indicators.

I was just at the doctors and whilst in the waiting room I wanted to check if an email had arrived from the hospital. I didn’t have any mobile data.
So I thought ‘I’ll log on to the free WiFi.
It’s the NHS WiFi. You enter your log on Id (which in my case - I assume in most cases is my email address) and the next step is “check your email inbox to verify etc etc”
Anybody see a problem with this?

when you're in the car and 21 is a bit too cold but 22 is a bit hot and have to set it at 21.5. (really only applies to those of us who dislike odd numbers i suppose)

I normally manage perfectly fine with the limited amount I have that results in my monthly O2 bill of about £7.50 on top of what I pay for a reconditioned iPhone which lasts me years. I'm given to understand that most people pay a lot more then that. So topping up my mobile data when I need to is never an annoyance. I must have done it about once or twice in three years.
The annoyance is having to logon to e-mail in order to access wifi, ...so that you can log on to e-mail

When you find that an unusual shaped fastener dropped out of a bit of furniture long ago, you have no idea where it sent or no memory of ever seeing it, and not only is it an odd shape, it is an imperial measurement.
Shops are not exactly falling over themselves to sell half moon 1/4" nuts. I think I'll just get some new metric bolts and replace the lot.

When pedantic tossers on a message board point out that 21 is an odd number, 22 is an even number and 21.5 is not odd, it is a non-integer or a fractional number

On the same theme; I assume anyone that could set their alarm for a random minute like 2 past the hour or 17 minutes to are the same type that torture animals in the woods.

When our lass wants help with something she hasnt been able to do ( for instance tech, car insurance , holiday bookings ) then decides in the middle of it that shes going to go back to doing it the dead end way she'd been trying, while at the same time narrating to me the disjointed rambling thought process she's using with every third word missing . Wtf ? listen for a minute, then answer me in full sentences in English woman . What must it be like in her head bless her
No such thing as a slow or fast lane. There’s overtaking lanes after the one on the left and it’s misuse of English which makes people think they should drive in the wrong lane because they’re ’driving fast’.
It's a f***ing slow lane when the lorries fill it up

I’ve just counted, I have 39 (now 40) posts on this thread. It’s just dawned on me that I might be a grumpy so and so.

If somebody shows me a weather map and tells me about severe weather, I really don’t need somebody else standing in the middle of it to illustrate and placing themselves in danger… or even disappointedly trying to illustrate it …but failing to find a severe enough weather condition to stupidly stand in the middle of.

Welcome to the world of 24 hour news.
News coverage is not dictated by importance but by what they have footage of. Any time there’s a hurricane, floods or snow storms you know the CNN producers all get in the conference room and have a collective wank as they won’t have to worry about how to fill up the schedule with ‘news’ - they can just send their hapless ‘correspondents’ out to stand and demonstrate getting blown down the road or waist
deep in water on Main Street or hoy a cup of water into the air and watch it instantly freeze. Yeah that’s news.
