Absolutely, why not?

Cars have ash trays which are easy to empty at petrol station so IMO no excuse for discarding cigy ends into the street. evil

I would love to do this, but have never had the opportunity.

I would always assume that they had accidentally dropped it, and you were actually doing them a good turn buy returning it back to them.

Unless of course you do it to someone resembling The Hulk in both size and anger.

Mate of mine did it a few years ago and ended up with a broken jaw.

I do agree though, it's disgusting.

Re fags. I had a little pocket ashtray I put my fag buts.


Another thing that annoys me.
People who lean their heads going around corners whilst driving. Wtf!
You look like an idiot!

Also. Passengers who check for cars when you change lane on the motorway and even worse say "All clear" when I've clearly already commited myself to the manoeuvre having previously checked for traffic!

Also. People who always say how busy they've been and not had time to think etc etc (even though I didn't actually ask) then not 10 minutes later say, whilst having an overly pompous conversation on the telephone, "I had a fantasic meal with Rod Stewart. We had such fun. Great trip" (He did actually say this)

Just fk off you stuck up plumby tit head!

And relax.

Aircraft seats on economy Airlines

I'm 6ft 2", If I sit upright in an Economy Airlines cabin seat my Head and Neck are totally clear of the built in headrest. There now seems to be satisfactory leg room between seats, but why not increase the length of the back of the seat or add adjustable headrests? If the plane was to have any form of sudden stop there would be nothing to stop whiplash the Heads and Necks of taller people frown

You're in the minority.

If you were Muslim, and freakishly tall, they'd change the seats for adjustable ones.

What has the Muslim bit got to do with seat height?

It's a 'witty' observation that muslims get what they want for being muslim I think.

Back to your point- I would guess that if airplane seats were any taller you wouldn't be able to recline them without hitting the rear passenger in their face and I would imagine that they would increase the claustrophobia that a lot of people feel in the seats.

You're just showing your prejudicial racist view and ignorance by saying that.

It was a "witty" observation but only because there's a large majority of Muslins, hence why Subway have done what they've done with there menu, and why they have not done it before for Sikhs, for example, and not because Muslins "get what they want".

Bigot.

You don't even make sense.
You said "if YOU were muslim and 6 foot 2" discussing ONE muslim not a muslim majority (as you now claim) so that doesn't tie in with what you are now saying.
I don't know why were are even discussing it further anyway. st joke and st attempt at defending it by trying to claim that I am racist.
Bizarre twist on the schoolground "I know you are, you said you are but what am I?"

Posters and motoring journalists who refer to a 'motoring icon'.

No it's not. An icon is a sacred or religious work of art, not a fking metal box on wheels you illiterate tts.

2. A person or thing that is the best example of a certain profession or some doing. yep, beyond reason

As you don't quote your source I can't tell you not to use that particular website anymore, but I can completely assure you it's wrong. Oxford dictionary correctly completes the second definition of your (unsourced) quote:

2A person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/engli...

Venerate:Regard with great respect; revere: As in Philip of Beverley was venerated as a saint.

If you wish to elevate a car to the religious proportions of sainthood that's fine. Just don't use the word 'icon' to illustrate it.

But you're right, it's not annoying beyond reason. It's annoying and sloppy.
