Oh and another thing.. How come with two clear "not my fault" accidents (one on bike one in car) still being argued about -as the other parties' insurer, the same very large commercial vehicle / fleet insurer in both cases, is stonewalling all the way - my two bike policy goes up by about £60 for the year, (boooo!) refundable once both are settled in my favour, (yaaay!) but my car insurance a month later goes up 510 foccin quid (WTF???) From £290 to £800!!!! they better had refund me the £510 once it all gets settled..... meanwhile as obviously I need a car for eleventeen different things and have to renew they have me by the cohones. Insurance companies.... shower of b&st&rds.
People who insist on standing at a busy bar drinking so you have to order through or over them, even when there's plenty of tall tables to stand around chatting with their 4 mates who are also blocking the bar. Pisses me right off.
Airport drop off charges, I dropped my wife and two of her cronies off LeedsBradford airport this morning at 5.45am and to get out of the official drop off area I had to pay £3! And another thing, there was about 3" of snow and I was following my mate in his car who had his wife and another crony on board, my Focus struggled like hell up two of the hills, traction control kept kicking in and his shitty Kia Rio with no traction control and little skinny tyres just powered up, he arrived at the airport 5 minutes before me the smug git.
Lots of potholes near me with red rings drawn round them. Which means they have been noticed/reported, but they've been like that for months.
It goes into the Treasury central pot, who then decide not to give it to local and county councils.
been said many times on here but twats with dodgy headlights.................one dim and one on full beam (or one light out and the other on full/dim). seen it loads lately, rozzers in front of me but not arsed. I'm getting sick to death of being blinded by these foccers
Exactly the same here too. Where, exactly, is our road tax being spent ? Surely it's supposed to be being spent on the roads !!

Surely it's supposed to be being spent on the roads !!Not since the "Road Fund Licence" was replaced by "Vehicle Excise Duty" around the time of the Second World War.All the money goes to HM Treasury and the Government is then supposed to pass that on to the Councils to pay for road repairs. Except the Conservative Government have been cutting and cutting and cutting even further so that the Councils can't afford to fix all the damage, but the Tories want you to blame them for it, instead of their ruinous Austerity programme which just makes the rich buggers richer and screw the little people.
I hit a pothole yesterday, and whilst still cursing i then hit a bigger one straight afterwards that really lamped my front tyre.What the hell are they making roads out of these days?I'm even scared to ride over a puddle now because these potholes are appearing so quickly and seem to be really deep within a day!One thing i will say though is if you do see potholes that are just taking the piss then go online to the council and report them, because we all whinge about them and presume someone else has reported them but that is most likely not the case.It only takes 5mins to do and you'd be surprised how quickly they put a temporary fill in once they know about it, and that's better than nothing.I reported one near work the other day and it was fixed in two days.Just make sure you write NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION when describing it.
When people who meet members of the royal family start laughing histericaly at something they've just said.Charles appears to be the most amusing. Virtually every time you see him meeting people on telly they are doubled-up with tears of laughter.Surely they're not THAT funny are they?.
