On the plus side i have a interview with Vodafone on Thursday working in the same office (Bracknell)i was there last year the only difference is the position is permanent.
Downside is it's fixed line phone infrastructure (ex Cable and Wireless network) not Telco which i'm used to.

This seems to be getting worse since the new "law" came in. I live and work near Sheffield/Chesterfield and use the M1 for work. Where the current road works and 50 mph average speed cameras are in place nobody uses the first lane. I can join the motorway and undertake everbody in the first lane all the way home.

Morons.
See this very regularly!!!
Theres a slip road before my exit close to my house
the amount of c**ts that accelerate up there at 40-50mph and as I am approaching, just pull out in front of me, even though I need to be off at the next exit. it drives me insane
so 9/10 I move into the outside lane to let them on, I then move back across to use the exit I need, and then they flash their lights at me or speed up to make it difficult for me
f*ck YOU, I JUST MOVED ACROSS SO YOU COULD GET OFF THE SLIP ROAD!!!!!
How can they expect me to slow down to 50 mph when I am doing 70mph to let them on? they should reach the speed limit as they are merging from the slip road to the dual carriageway, or f*ck off and pull out behind me
soz for the rant. lol
EDIT:
I was told when I took my driving lessons that if I pulled out in front of someone at a junction, then I'd fail my test. Why do people not carry out these practises on the road once theyve passed?

The slip road onto a motorway (or dual carriageway) is in fact a give way junction. If there's no space available on the motorway to join, then you must give way and wait at the line for a suitable gap to join.

I agree.
HOWEVER, my gripe is with people expecting to join a 70mph road at 40mph, if they were doing 70mph it's easy to slip into a reasonable gap as you are matching the speed of the traffic, or worst case you would have to brake and lose some speed to slip into the traffic.
If you are trying to join a busy motorway at 40mph you need a MASSIVE gap to accelerate to 70mph which is why they needlessly pose a hazard by sitting at the end of the slip lane :stupid:

Do they also "modify" their birth certificates and passports? How about changing the spacing in their national insurance numbers?

When ever I plug them in I always have to turn it over!
Why can't they invent USB like the lightning connector?

Try plugging it in with the USB embossed logo on top, and the blank bit on bottom.

Those who think its ok to try and cut in front of you to get off at a junction despite being a gap half a mile long behind you. Had some dozy woman in a mini try it on yesterday, i was on the inside, car in the middle lane slowly overtaking me, woman in the mini up his arse trying to get in front of me in which she failed

Recently bought some genuine diamond cut Charleston Alloys off ebay, the advert described them as in immaculate condition as they had recently refurbished. I bought the alloys on the strength of the advert and the assurance of the seller the wheels are immaculate.
They arrived today and well they are far from immaculate. I appreciate immaculate in the contact of used wheels can be subject to interpretation but i didn't expect every wheel to be scratched, to still have evidence of white worm and one wheel even had "ebay 0033" etched into the lacquer!

Contacted the seller and they have agreed to have the wheels collected on Monday refund the cost of the wheels, not the cost of delivery, i am of course going to dispute this and seek a full refund.

When bus drivers just pull out in front of you without looking they think they run the roads. Just happened to me so the next bus stop i stopped and let rip on him :mad: :fighting:
There all the same every time you know what they are going to do :fighting:
Lol class. They do my nut in as well, once forced their way through a traffic calming system when I actually had right of way, which caused me to kerb my f**king alloy.
Rang the bus company who claimed they'd checked the CCTV from the bus and that the driver had proceeded as normal...what, so buses can barge their way through traffic when they don't have right of way?
absolute c**ts.

Looks like the ebay seller wants shot of the wheels ASAP as he has already relisted them which is odd as they are still in my garage waiting to be returned. He seems to have overlooked the fact they are not immaculate (he states otherwise) and one of the alloys has ebay etched into it :surprised:

They're (it is "they're" - I don't want to resurrect an earlier post) taught to ride at least a metre away from the kerb, and more at pinch points. The thinking is that they dissuade people from squeezing through a marginal gap.
...and if you're leaving as much room as the Highway Code says, which is as much room as you would for a car, then two abreast makes them easier to pass because the joint overall length is shorter. According to the good book, they must not be more than two abreast.
Don't flame me. I'm not going to defend every cyclist any more that I'd defend all GTI drivers. I might ride a push bike from time to time, but motorcycles, HGV (class one), PCVs and Mk5 GTIs much, much more!

When you live in a small village like me you know who works and who doesn't, people know everyone else business from what they had for dinner to mental health like someone wrote above. I know there isn't any thing wrong with these people to stop them working. I don't judge a book by its cover if I don't know them but I know these people and they are nothing but a waste of space. 1.

People who assume that because you cant see my disability, that theres nothing 'wrong' with me. I worked as a teacher until two and a half years ago. Once l was diagnosed and signed off work, the amount of people who said words to the affect of 'you dont look ill, why arent you at work' really surprised me. I was hugely upset by some of the comments, so much so that l now dread going into my local town centre in case l see these people again. At times l wish ld got a plaster cast etc to 'prove' that lm ill. There is such a stigma attached to mental illness that no one wants to talk about it, or are, like l was, embarassed to admit to it, for fear of being judged or labelled. Ive lost some 'friends' because of my illness and my way of coping, but l have also gained some new, genuine, friends who take me for what l am and who l am.

I think you've just put everyone else's "irritations" into perspective. I consider myself very lucky that the closest I've come was a fractured skull. My symptoms from that were deeply unpleasant but fortunately temporary. I honestly found broken legs and sternum easier to cope with, for similar reasons you gave. Friends with invisible illnesses like these report exactly the same. Their advice? Talk about it and let your true friends show themselves.
My sincere best wishes for a full recovery.

I'm well aware of the cycling proficiency test, as I did it as a child myself, but there lies the problem.... It's taken by children at school and not the idiots who sign up for a ride to work scheme having not cycled for years and then have no clue how to behave on the road :stupid: they sum up the phrase "all the gear and no idea"
As for thinking you were flamed it was you who came out with the ridiculous comment suggesting cyclists are following the rules of the Highway Code and were fairly patronising in the way you put it forward
I for one have nothing against cyclists, I leave them plenty of room and if they want to ride like idiots risking their lives then so be it, unfortunately many of them also drive cars and seem to bring with them a false sense of security thinking they won't get hurt and a helmet will work miracles
What actually has been annoying me of late is the amount of car drivers looking for races and traffic light gp's :stupid:
Usually driving fairly underpowered cars but insist on trying to race me and when I play ball, say from a set of lights, take more and more dangerous risks just to stay in front and in most cases I slow down as I don't want them to cause an accident and somebody get hurt :fighting:

Pulling away from a porsche on a dual carriage way is I guess contradicting myself about racing but when his gf smiles at you when you let him catch up that's a bonus :P but hardly dangerous on a straight empty road.

Dave there's a few bellends round my way that seem to think there focus and mopeds can nail the back roads at 80+ which has more blind corners than I can even think of a word for. Again they will sit up your ass, as soon as I put my foot down slighty on a straight they will do there best to over take on the wrong side of road, round a tight blind corner. Now that's scary driving!

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.

ordering stuff online :fighting:, the site says " item in stock ready for dispatch " phone them up in the morning to confirm the order and delivery date for next day, the response is always every frigging time " sorry there not in stock and will be with us by the end of the week so expect delivery early next week. if i added up all the paypal delivery charge refunds, i could buy a mk7 R for me and the missus :jumping:
hahahahaha :party: :party: :party:

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!

That absolutely sends me into a rage, also these people that go to all the bother of picking their dog mess up, bagging it and hanging it on a post or sitting it on top of a wall, they'd be better leaving it on the floor at least it would wash away or decompose eventually. Hanging is too good for them :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

We have one at ours - it is forever taking breaks, putting itself unavailable without telling colleagues meaning we take its work. It is not at desk ready to work until 9:25, yet logs off at 5:30. It is forever moaning about being how busy it is, but taking no effort to get in early to catch up (if it really is that busy) - which leads us to the conclusion that it is actually faking an affront at being busy whilst it is just on its Iphone half the day.
Second to that - the managers we have complained to about said above, who have so far taken no action... :fighting:

People (mainly old women) who treat the swimming pool as a social get-together. They stand around at the shallow end talking taking up precious space that those of us swimming lengths need.
And don't get me started on the aqua aerobics class either :scared: When the morning general swim finishes at 9.15am I do not appreciate a group of 20 women getting in early for their class at 9.10am and spreading themselves across the pool waiting to start when me and other people are still clearly plodding up and down the lengths.

People who leave their car alarms activated at car shows :stupid:

People who brake on back roads every time they ecounter a car coming the opposite way
People who can't go 60 in a 60
People who go 40 in a 30 but 30 in a 40
People who try merging onto the motorway at 30mph

While I'm at it, BMW drivers, people who sleep at traffic lights (because they are texting), outside lane hoggers, people who catch up to you really quickly on a motorway then sit on your back quarter, people who brake while travelling towards a green light at a junction (anticipating that they might change to red!) , undertakers and BMW drivers again........

I personally go sit in my car now or go a walk for the hour... I can't deal with the interruptions
Yep, I have also started doing the same. Always freezing in the car during these months though! Summer is alright because it's warmer or I just sit out in the sun ... When it shows its face!

Bloody scammers, I put my card into the ATM, and got my money out, but the card was not coming out, the ATM beeped and beeped, still no card.... luckly I'd seen a TV show about card jammers, and thus pulled at card slot where you put the card in and managed to pull the bit of plastic cover the scammers use to jam the card, it was well disgused and you wouldn't know its there. They record your number via a small camera which is stuck/magnet to to top of the ATM, which records your PIN, they then get the jammed card, and your DONE.I always assume every ATM I use is dodgy and cover my right hand with my left when I'm putting my pin in, and do it as quickly as possible.

It's not always a pinhole camera they use. Sometimes one of the gang will hover behind you trying to get a peek. There's all sorts of distraction scams as well. Popular with the Eastern Europeans.

They do those distraction ones on Oxford street, I was in a pizza place not from from there a few years ago, and the tables were so close, the lady next to me had her hand inside my suit jacket which was on the chair, the waiter had seen it, and alerted me, I said what the F**K, and she legged, like rat up a drain pipe. They are like a rash on the undergeround as well working in teams. Its when they follow old people from the banks, that really gets me, and your right they tend to be from Eastern Europe, want something for nothing!!, need tougher sentencing and sending back.

And those being interviewed, who keep saying"you know"....well we don't actually - that's why you're being interviewed on this radio show........
The "of's", as mentioned by a few, as in would of, instead of would have
And a newish one - "Been as".....as in "being as"
Check - out assistants who carry on talking to their colleagues, while you're being served
People who leave you a telephone message and rattle their number off so quick, that you have to play it back 3 times to get the number.
Another one.....you've asked someone for some info, and they agree to call you back, which they do, but instead of telling you what you want to know in the message, they just say can you call me back.....

No, you've got it all wrong. Taking the baffle out of the 'zorst transforms it into 750 Quacker.......Weren't you ever 16?

Those 'Ferswannies' (FS1E's) go for big money now. Old timers like me trying to re-capture their mis-spent youth. I never had a Raleigh Chopper though - my parents said I was too old for one.

Had this problem myself recently, A chap was selling a Saab Viggen coupe on ebay and was using pictures of my old car which I took in 2014 to sell his own car.
He also had a small business buying and selling Saabs and was using pictures of my cars and the mechanical and detailing work I had done and picures from a build thread I had.
Put a stop to it eventually but I was not impressed!

People who sit at a give way/roundabout, they can see you coming and there is nothing else to stop them pulling out so they wait and look and look and wait and wait some more then a little bit more then as you get closer they still wait then once you nice and close THEN they pull out, but not with any degree of acceleration so then you are forced to break and slow down to their 10-15mph pace and they don't make any attempt to use that right pedal for a few miles.Or worse still... being behind someone who approaches a roundabout, painfully slows to a complete stop, and THEN looks to the right, to see that it's clear, and has been for the last 20 seconds which they'd have noticed if they had even the slightest idea how to drive.
Add into that people who drive everywhere at 35 mph, up your arse or overtaking you in a 30 zone then hold you up in a 40/50mph zone.
People who insist on walking 2, 3 or 4 in a line down a narrow pavement and even when you walk onto the road look at you like you're the arthole.

Probably :happy2:. I do sometimes think these people lie in wait for me when i decide to go somewhere (don't do a lot of driving at the moment so it seems more frequent that it actually is). Its the same as folk who sit at the front of a queue waiting for the traffic lights to change and in that minute they've been waiting they've either fallen asleep and/or forgotten what to do when the lights go green so sit there for 30 seconds - just long enough for them to move and stop anyone else getting through before they change back to red again.

People who write on a for sale thread
'I would of bought this if I didn't spend all my money on wheels last week'
Why comment if you haven't the money to buy it?!
Must be the same person that irritates me Adam :grouphug:

Maybe its just a new generation of 'arrogant; rude; want it; want it now; sod everyone else; me, me, me' self-important individuals. Someone's gonna get pushed off soon... :fighting:

Cyclists in pedestrianised shopping areas...... The way they bomb through so fast, not a care for anyone but their own need to get somewhere fast. This seems a relatively recent thing, over the last couple of years. Prior to that I'm sure they were more courteous.Skateboarders also on my list. Clattering about practicing stunts. Then I'll add texters, oblivious to anyone in their path.....gotta send this text - it's soooo important. Don't matter who I walk into. On the other hand, the youngsters that do that freewalking stuff, jumping across walls, and up buildings, now that is impressive...
