The absolute bellend going round and round and round the village for the last two hours in a Paramotor.
Like having a massive fecking fly buzzing round, first bloody week we've been able to sit outside and some bellend ruins it.

A variation to the beeping arriving and departing crowd.
They've been out for the evening presumably on the lash, car or cars pull up to drop various off, much banging of doors at 2am as folks get out then proceed to have a loud slightly pissed replay of the night's events before lots more doors slamming as they get back in. More goodbyes, engines starting, even worse if they've left the bloody thing ticking over. Now 2:15am.
Thankfully not yet encountered an additional departing beep beep just for extra annoyance.
2:30 all quiet, now calming down, sliding off to sleep. What's that? Rattle of milk bottles as milk delivery arrives.
4:30 am or so, getting to the end of a REM cycle, starting to get light, someone shoot that ruddy pigeon.

People flashing their hazards when they’re approaching a traffic jam on a motorway/A road. I’m not talking about people who are hooning along and have to brake hard enough to trigger the car into doong it automatically, I’m talking about the morons who were previously bimbling along in the middle or outside lane doing 68mph (who almost certainly didn’t indicate on their way to the middle or outside lane) suddenly putting their hazards on 150 metres before they come to a stop.
A) you don’t possess the Sword of Omen giving you sight beyond sight, we can see there are 2-3 lanes of stationary cars and lorries ahead of us all
B)You already have lights on the back that tell us you’re braking, they’re called fking brake lights
I get it if there’s a small but dangerous hazard on the road that might not be visible to those behind you, if the traffic is behind a blind corner or whatever, but doing it for traffic jams on a clear, well sighted roads is virtue signalling bullst and it annoys me beyond reason.
So many dolts hit the brakes regularly for no reason when there's nothing ahead, so it may be to convince you that on this occasion it's not a false alarm.

I think the number of nil points countries will be high, UK among them, Israel t the 10 seconds I saw was. Why do we 'kin bother, they seem to hate us anyway, except when we hosted for Ukraine of course, when they couldn't, obviously. That must have screwed with their heads! might be the first entrant to get a negative points score.

Yeah as others have said, this is actually (for me) a welcome practice. I think it's useful beyond brake lights and line of sight that you say mitigate it because a) you're not just slowing, you're stopping which is unusual in that environment and b) if the person behind also puts on their hazards, then the person behind them does it etc etc you create a ripple that warns cars much further back to slow and actually helps ease the jam eventually.

t and it annoys me beyond reason.I've seen far too many accidents caused by one person not paying attention and ploughing into stationary cars, I'll take the caution.
The Highway code specifically says something like the only time you should use your hazard lights whilst not stationary is when on a motorway/dual carriage way, to warn drivers behind you of an incident or obstruction ahead.
So people are just following what it says in the Highway Code.

What's irritating me about it is the many and varied ways that different BBC presenters are saying "Malmo" in an attempt to be closer to the proper pronunciation than the one before them. Just bring back the tried and tested "Mal Mow" and have done with it. It's not as if any of them say "Par Ee" when they're talking about the French capital.Then in the last 2 or 3 years, it's become a love-in.

Yes, I now all the alpha males of PH will think it's only for girls and gays anyway, but it isn't and I enjoy it and I don't want it spoilered. So ner.

I am the same. Hate reality TV and "talent shows" on TV but Eurovision is a bit of an event for us, beer, wine, nice food and laugh at our Euro chums. Wish Terry Wogan was still with us to do it but hey ho. The spoiler thing is really annoying as you say, totally agree.
Laugh with our Euro chums, surely.Dan Singh said:

You know when someone applies the brake to stop their lights will stay on longer, and then with handbrake use the lights will stay on until released, right?
Eh? Mine don't.......The brake lights come on with the handbrake ?
