All that Jazz, eh? That's me in your mirrors, showing you how coffee beans should be shaken 
. Wait, why would you be looking in your mirrors...
Today I drove a considerable distance along the A14 and observed that Britain once again leads the world. This time in the nascent but fast growing sport of synchronised lorry driving.
In case you haven't seen it, this is where two huge knights of the road mimic one another's driving in perfect formation, one in the left lane, one in the right, at precisely 56mph for mile upon mile upon mile.....truly breathtaking in the skill required to accurately align the fronts and rears of the vehicles at Felixstowe and, with stunning co-ordination, maintain their exact relative positions until the Catthorpe interchange, some 132 miles later. By the end I (and the other drivers behind them) were choking back tears, so moved were we by this selfless feat of performance art.
This is even more impressive when one considers that the drivers were leaning into one another's windows and using their hands to pleasure each other whilst engaging in a stimulating discussion about the best 12v in-cab toasters, whether it's really necessary to bathe more than once a month, and the 50 best ways to sodomise a hitchhiker.
You have my sympathies. It very much annoys me beyond reason when I am in my car, too. Unfortunately I have no control over my neanderthal comrades who all seem to think that disengaging the cruise control for 10 seconds to let the faster vehicle past will reduce the size of their already small penises and make them less manly. I'm afraid it is very much an industry populated with chimps that are only doing the job because they are too thick to do anything else .

There. I've said it.
Why, lets remind ourselves after 33 years
,can we not find another record to end a party with? And lets face it, another record that isn't such a load of f
king st?
It was a truly terrible record then and it still is. If you actually own it, I bet you never play it so why? WHY? does everyone pile onto the dance floor pissed out of their heads at the end of the evening to dance like their trying to stamp on cockroaches? In 33 YEARS have we not been able to find another record that can sum up the end of the evening? To put it in context, if you were at a disco/birthday party/wedding back in 1982 its now the equivalent of putting on Roll Out The Barrel.
Would you have danced to that then? No.
We need to find a new pissed up party ender.

what makes previously normal people want to sleep on every surface on a ferry?
Driving for about 7 hours to a ferry port, then having to do the same on the other side.
and the ferry is only an hour and a half, a cabin might be a luxury

There is also the added stress of actually getting through check in on time after being stuck in traffic on either side of the water, so when you do finally make it through the relief and tiredness set in.I've been on the ferry a lot of times, last time I went dunkirk-dover a couple of weeks ago everyone had waited at least 2 hours, so could have been asleep in the car all that time, also it was like a millpond, so no seasickness
you never see it anywhere else, people sleeping all over the place like that, sweaty and smelly, absolutely no respect for anyone else

Ever been on a night bus? Its just the same

I hate that song with a passion. It's made worse by the fact that Dexys did Geno, which was a damn fine song.There. I've said it.

I HATE THAT SHOW!.king stE in the world! Canned laughter, humour of the lowest common denominator. Thank fk it rarely gets aired anymore!My girlfriend loves it and a lot of work colleagues do too. It is not funny, ever. People tell me that I have no sense of humor because I don't discuss it.
I don't know much of the show, but this sort of thing,
Joey: Hey, I just cleaned the couch.
Chandler: What, that wasn't what I said.

king hated "Friends", which seemed to make me very unusual as a teen/20's in the 1990s. The characters were all, with the possible exception of Joey, incredibly annoying and unlikeable people, which didn't seem to me to be a good start for a sitcom. From the same time period and set in the same city I'll take Seinfeld every time.

But it has Jennifer Aniston in it. And in most episodes she appears to be smuggling peanuts. My girlfriend loves it and a lot of work colleagues do too. It is not funny, ever. People tell me that I have no sense of humor because I don't discuss it.
