Oh, and the Citroen Cactus. I finally saw one in the flesh/metal/plastic for the first time today...what an absolutely HIDEOUS piece of crap.
Think yourself lucky that you haven't had to drive one. I had to do Bristol - Castle Donington and back in one as a hire car a few weeks ago, boy did I turn a few heads on the motorway. In this colour too...
Each to their own, and all that though. If we all liked the same thing then there would only need to be one type of car available to buy.

I quite like it actually. In a world of boring cookie-cutter identikit blandmobiles, it's nice to see something quirky and different.

Yep can't argue with that! Let's just say it's not quite in tune with my styling tastes Each to their own, and all that though. If we all liked the same thing then there would only need to be one type of car available to buy.

Why does it have a pocket sprung mattress bolted to the side of it? 
The governments continued assertion that various things they have sold off should make a profit. The NHS, like many other things the government have sold off to their greedy mates ( e.g. Royal Mail ), isn't supposed to make a profit - it's supposed to provide a service to the benefit of the population as a whole

Capitalism 101: The focus may be on profits, but the societal benefits are in the side effects. Something that makes a profit this year is still here next year; something that goes bankrupt is not.The film "Dirty Dancing". Set in 1963, with a soundtrack of hits from that year, and then at the end that soppy chick-flick scene when they dance to music from 1987. Not a single person present in that room reacts with "whoa, what sort of music is this?". It does my head in. Sloppy inattention to detail.

Next you'll be telling me that groups of people don't spontaneously break out into perfectly choreographed dance routines where everyone is dancing the same dance exactly in time to one another. JonRB said:

I would also like to point out that in "Saturday Night Fever" whenever Travolta dances, all the other people on the floor give way and allow him lots of room. Bo**ocks. Try expecting that in a real club. You'll get your face kicked in.

Spot on. It's all bo**ocks. I was reminded of my hatred of this film by watching Gogglebox where the participants were given it as viewing material. I was appalled that all the dads on the programme loved the fecking thing, probably apart from dad Malone (the Rottie family) who I'm sure would not have found it to his liking. Real man.

Blimey. You sound like a bag of laughs. I'm looking forward to you watching a musical and then coming on here and complaining that people kept singing and how unrealistic this is.

You'd best stick to documentaries and give films a miss altogether, I reckon.
The random signs dotted along the A64 between Bramham and York have today annoyed me beyond reason. Several 8' x 8' yellow signs stating "230 bags of litter picked from laybys".
I feel like getting a black marker pen and adding stuff like "Congrats! Would you like a cookie?" or "Council in doing-their-job shocker!" or perhaps even "I've dropped a few more coke bottles and KFC boxes for you. See if you can beat your record!"
Am I doing this wrong?

You need to think of it in the opposite... They HAD to collect 230 bags of litter.I feel like getting a black marker pen and adding stuff like "Congrats!
