F*cking Kn*bhead motorcyclists blasting down the inside of you on the M/Way at about 80-90mph, bloke on the M1 on Sunday was literally about a millisecond away from death as the car in front pulled over just after he'd passed, not only could he have ended up in thousands of pieces the carnage he could have caused around him would have been dreadful. :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:
Car drivers hogging the middle lane doing 60 - 70 mph. Causes congestion, and the inside lane ends up empty apart from a lorry or two.

Realistically, if you intend to drive at the speed limit the opportunity to drive in the inside lane is pretty much non existent as it's full of lorries slipstreaming at 56mph. Even If you do get a chance to drop into the inside lane it's only for 20seconds.

The real issue is people who overtake in the outside lane at 70.1mph and take hours about it. Although it's illegal, I still want to drive at 80, people often think they're doing nothing wrong because they're doing 70 in the outside. :(

This was nothing to do with lane hoggers etc, the motorway was busy but all 3 lanes operating as they should, this inside was full of slower moving vehicles, middle (including myself) moving at approx 65-70ish passing, and the outside lane moving quicker, there was absolutely no excuse for him to do what he did....other than he's a dick that was in a hurry.

I wasn't condoning what the biker did. Just replying the car drivers hogging the middle lane post. And biker who undertakes at speed is an utter bell-end. It's dangerous enough being on a small light bike amongst cars, not taking into account how invisible you are whilst undertaking.

I think I may be one of those culprits lol, but I only do that if the oncoming car is miles away

if not I will hold back and wait

Paying £337 to have a new air con condenser fitted, now six weeks later finding it's blowing hot air, returning it to complain and being told it's another £48 for the sensor/switch as there's power to it but not out, then (what a bloody surprise) "sorry but there's bad news, you need a new compressor", FFS it's over £850 now!

Less irritated now (apart from the £s). Was thinking of selling the golf when it was costing a fortune to be fixed, and I was driving a silly cheap to run automatic skoda citigo, but now I've got the golf back, I love it again ... :)

I've noticed that "tolerance" is common amongst us guys so here's a works of advice my ol'man gave me one upon a time...

If your tolerance is less that the level of sh*t you receive, get the hell out of there!

Fruit juice liars. You pick up a carton of Tropicana Orange and Raspberry then read the ingredients and find it is actually 52% apple juice, 12% grape juice and then the rest is orange and raspberry!

Going up a couple of posts, there is someone who live round my way who does pick up their dog's sh*t, but then throws the bag in the bushes. I reckon that's worse than just leaving it for the flies!
