Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

How come in the winter you have the heating on 20 degrees and you are still cold in bed, but then come the summer and its 20 degrees at night and the weather presenters start saying it will be uncomfortable sleeping

What's with more.and more people stopping short at traffic lights.  I am noticing it more often now, filter up to red lights and the front car is a car length back from the white line.

This really p@&*es me off too. Also when people stop in a queue at the lights but stop 10 feet from the car in front, then once you've stopped behind them they move forward.  :rolleyes
My car's got start/stop on it so when they move forward my engine's already shut down to save fuel. If I move forward too, the start/stop function doesn't work again.  :groan

:lol. That's just one of life's mysteries .

I'm yet to find anyone who can tell me why golf caddie's at the big tournaments carry that great big bag around on their shoulder rather than just use a trolley to wheel it around like everyone else does :rolleyes

B.G.T.
Should be W.T.F.?

Surely the point of this program should be to find talent that isn't singing, I'm not saying singing isn't talent but is that not what they have that other show for?

Rant over, beer time

Fuckwits like Joey Essex being worth £4.5m - I work bloody hard and use my brain...........WTF  :grumble

Is it that there is a space reserved for cyclists at the front? We have a lot of them in Coventry and it annoys me when people in cars ignore them and go right to the line.





Having said that I've yet to see a cyclist apart from myself  actually obey the lights in the first place so fuck knows why these were invented!  :lol

[NorthWestern]

No, back from the white line.  As freck says it actually helps you because you can just take a normal position when filtering rather than having to keep between cars.

Ahh fair enough then, I'm right with you on that one!

I know motorbikes aren't s'posed to go in these boxes, but i did always wonder if i could argue the fact that on the old tax discs it blatantly did say "bicycle" on them!

[NorthWestern]

I use them often, especially if I am between trucks that might not have seen me.

What's the problem? It means you can filter past, move into that space, then pull away without worrying about some twat trying to beat you off the line :thumbup

There was a video clip of someone who deliberately rode his motorbike in a cycle lane when Police were checking and tried to make the same argument.

Nice try, but he still got a £30 fine...

Because if the idiot behind approaches too fast, you've got a bit of space to move into, rather than having them slam into your rear.

Also Bike instructors teach you to leave a bike and a half's length between you and the vehicle in front so, if they break down or you need to avoid someone behind you, you've got room to pull past.

[NorthWestern]

Didn't say there was a problem....

I was at a rehearsal yesterday afternoon and had gone there on the bike.  Popped out at half time for a bit of fresh air and there was someone I didn't know, having a chat around my bike (nothing wrong with that) but using the tail of my bike as a table for her tea and biscuits!  :eek  Really love, would you do that to someone's car?


I politely asked her not to do it and all was well, but, some poeple!

They have got a cheek haven't they! >:


Years ago when I had my brand new RD350 F2, I came back to find someone had left their bicycle parked leant up against it >:

Guess I was lucky they hadn't actually locked it to it :\
