Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 2]
Discussion
Marque specific fanboys.
Narrow minded idiots, the lot of them.
You can like the new Focus RS as much as you like, it is a great car, but you have to at least admit that there are alternatives!!
"Nah mate, that new M135i is s
te. Got nothing on the old blue oval. In fact, all Beemers are ste. Why would you buy an M5 when you can have an RS which is much better".
I mean, I am certainly no BMW fanboy (the above was an exact quote from someone by the way) but statements like that are just ridiculous.
The Rover lot are pretty bad too (not on this forum thankfully), obviously some of them are good cars but the entire marque is not Gods bloody gift to motoring!

I guess we are all used to ordinary motorists not bothering to indicate (that doesn't make it acceptable) but what really annoys me is when one of the emergency services cars don't do it, ambulances or police cars etc. And I don't mean when they have the blue lights on.
Really fks me off that. The other day I had a police car I was overtaking, albeit slowly, just changed lanes, no indicator, no life saver glance. Would love to be able to stop and fine him!

I don't understand your post.
Who is Perez?k are you?'" 
Just for reference, Checo is a nickname. Perez's first name is Sergio. Now, when I'm watching motorsports, I tend to stick with surnames because that's what they're usually saying. "Perez overtakes Hamilton on lap whatever. Massa does something that pisses Alonso off.", and they only really go forenames or nicknames when they're either in interview with the person, or if they work with them and/or are friends with them (You hear them call him Checo on team radio, for instance).
Weird rambling aside, what's the stance on other nicknames, like Kimi "Ice Man" Riakkonen, or Valentino "The Doctor" Rossi, or "Sting" (imaginary internet points to the person that knows his real name without googling it, tbh)?

Dear wst,I think most of PH will be fine with using made up names.

"pop" songs that have been written to be played on the radio or at least released knowing they would be played on the radio with swearing in them at means that bits of it get edited out and more often than not just make the singer sound like a moron.
Pink is the biggest culprit of recent times, I'm a frequent enough swearer but it really annoys meand here in foreignland they aren't edited out
