How come delevery drivers all drive like twats at 100mph and yet my delivery is always late
Murderous c*nts in cars at roundabouts who either don't know, don't care or are simply in such a rush they're prepared to kill someone. Like the dangerous twot who driving the Iceland delivery van who drove straight over the Hensingham round about almost running over a cyclist. The poor cyclist was around 60 years old and just managed to brake and stay upright as the van missed him by about six inches. How hard can it be to give way to the right?
Could this be due to the opposite way they use roundabouts abroad, as in you give way if you're already on the roundabout?

No I think I get what darrsi means and I think I have been behind a few foreign drivers. We are both on the roundabout (them in front ) and going around and then suddenly they stop on the roundabout to let someone on from the left.Where as we give way to people already on the roundabout from the right.Americans have a good system in which some states at least allow (as it would be in our case) left turns on a red light and the etiquette when there are a few left turners at the same junction is first come first served rather than give way from the left or right.
Those people who have to have a fag as soon as they come out of asda
The motorcycle press. Why is it every year we hear the new model is better in every way than the last. Faster, sharper, easier, comfier, more magnetic then after a few years we get gushing articles of how the '05 model "is by far the best - here's why". You would think one at least would say "it's good but a step backwards because of xyz"
Those shootout articles where they do exactly the same thing. E.g. they take half a dozen bikes, berate the one with the stiffest suspension on the long distance test, then berate the one with the softest suspension on the test track, the most economical one for being slowest, the most powerful for its poor tank range, while the bike that's the best compromise gets slammed for being dull.

Don't get me started with the Police, I'm still waiting for them to come and get my statement about my bike accident 10 weeks after it happened...... Useless w@&kers!
3) An Audi at a point where 2 lanes merge into one, could have pulled into the huge empty gap behind me but accelerated the last 30 yards to the merge point just to get in front and cut me up big time.... wanker!
Ok i just mentioned this elsewhere.....regardless of the science it just really gets my goat in an ocd wayGuys switching their bike off with the kill switch. Its just a bit like stalling your car purposely every time to switch it off instead of using the key
