Turning right off an A road yesterday. Long train of traffic coming the other way doing about 20 mph, following a tractor. Would one of the st featured wking s let me cross? Not fking one of them, had to wait ages til there was a gap large enough for me to force my way across in.

Forced your way over did you?

Top driving. Well done.

Hopefully, right in front of you.

I have a colleague who is a very, very noisy eater. Fortunately he mainly pops home for lunch or down to the canteen. However, today he is chewing gum.

I feel ill from the squelching noises.

Branches that stick out and wallop your truck mirrors.

I stopped to pick up my mirror back and noticed a whole load of mirror bits at that spot....

I should've done a bit of pruning whilst there.

Should have been cast from the cliffs at birth, the dirty cripples. They can't even use an ink pen.

At secondary school one of the teachers insisted on having a seating plan and I was paired up with a really good friend. You'd think that would be a good thing but not always, he was left handed and I was sat on his left.

Every sodding time he was writing with a fountain pen he'd have to ark his wrist around so as not to smudge the ink which resulted in him elbowing my writing hand - granted often it was done for comedy but there were times when it really got on my nerves.

Popular property web sites.

The 'this house is being sold by auction' filters don't work.

Really? I've been very happy with them for a year and a half now. What have they borked for you?

It's been mentioned before and repetitions of an illogical gripe are very annoying, but people who don't pay at the pump at a Pay at Pump.

A. You can't pay with cash.

B. It's only been 6 months since my local Tesco got pumps which provided VAT receipts which I need.
Filled up the other day to the £99 max and drove off without getting one

Cash? The Council thread is that way >>>

I'm afraid that they are like many companies; fine when stuff is working but they fall apart when you have a problem.

I have had a fault logged (which they acknowledge) for many, many weeks. They continually make promises to do various things but nothing has changed.

Calls never returned, escalations not carried out, line test never completed, engineering visits scheduled but never kept, etc.

They are also quite happy to lie when it suits them.

I'll be binning the tts.

They were fine until they were bought by BT...

It's quite funny when occasionally everyone starts hooting.

I quite agree.

A total shower of ste now though.

Had this recently in a multi story car park. Someone honked, another honked back, soon several more started honking in unison, including me. It was like automotive bell ringing. I could hear the laughter all the way down. Top moment.

Had this while I was stuck in Wembley Stadium car park for 2 hours after a gig one night!

I started off with basic tunes like football chants to see if I got any response, it then turned into an all out war..

Sounds like a laugh.

There are some real curmudgeons on this thread.
