Fair enough. Get a move on, you're going too slowly. You don't have to stick to 50 on your speedo. If the truck wants to go faster, follow his lead, he's not going to expose himself to a speeding ticket. It's numpties in lane 3, holding 50 on their speedos, who need a kick up the arse. You sound like such a driver, I hope you're not.

People who don't understand this:

Shirley - a name for a girl, or a suburb of Birmingham / Solihull

Surely - used to emphasise a firm belief or view of fact.

The use of 'Shirley' is of 'surely' is starting to make me wonder if this country even has an education system.

Also one of the nicer parts of Croydon.

There isn't many nice parts....

And a PH standard joke,a bit of fun.

I think that joke has been repeated so often on here that some people think that "Shirley" is the correct spelling. You can often tell by the seriousness of the thread or by the rest of their posting.

I love the bit at the beginning of Airplane 2 when, in the courtroom, the witness is asked "can you gives us your impression of Captain Stryker" (if that's the right name) to which he replies " I'm a psychiatrist, I don't do impressions".

Saucepans that can't stand up for themselves if the contents of my baked-bean tin isn't yet in there. FFS. Don't the manufacturers test the fkng things before they make 10 million of them?

No, I don't want a 99p charity pen or a teddy bear reduced to £9.99 - I only came in to buy my wife's Christmas card. Bloody Clintons "link" selling.

There are some sections of the A1 50 mph roadworks where trucks are not allowed in lane 2.

I guess if you wanted to go 50 mph on your speedo and the lorry is tailgaiting, you would have to move to lane 2 and allow him to pass you on the left.

Wouldn't be so bad if they did stick to 50 on the speedo; it's the tts who stick to 45 or 40 "just to be safe" that are the problem.

It's not fair enough though is it. The speed limit is a maximum limit not an instruction so if someone wants to do 50 and they're on the inside lane then live with it instead of trying to bully them into going faster. I know we're all going to die because a supermarket was 30 seconds late in getting its delivery of chicken nuggets but tough. Give the car in front some room and stop driving like a tit.

"Celebrity" Mastermind, three "who the hell are they" people and Johnny Ball who's very normal and intelligent specialist subject is Michael Faraday.

The CBBC presenter's specialist subject is "The life and times of Rachel Green from Friends" you can't make this st up. And she's as thick as very thick pig st when it comes to general knowledge.

Did you ever see Myleene Klass on Celebrity Mastermind? Her specialist subject was Sex in the City. No wait, SITC, Series 3. No wait, SITC, Series 3, episodes 1 to 6. She got 17 points. After the General Knowledge round her score leapt to...18.

I want to avoid a ticket. If that means driving at 45 in a fifty, so be it. Not worth the hassle.

It's an Americanism. Usually referring to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Obviously creeping in over here.

Just to clarify, I'm driving to the sat nav speed and on cruise, so probably just over 50mph and people that dawdle get on my tits, too. But the section that I was referring to is the M1 near Dunstable, where the roadworks are for the new Woodside Link junction, which at peak times is pretty congested, so quite often 50mph is pretty optimistic

Yet time and again HGV's are tailgating, and only last week some arrogant knobber in a Scania was flashing people and blaring his horn FFS!

Surely you're not condoning this?
