the knob in the 2001 ish Audi A6 that cut me up tonight. with his blow off valve, that sounded like a puppy farting. soon piped down when you realised my waste gate was real and not a ripspeed add on.

by the way you drive like a total .

Popular with a certain... er... ethnic group where I live in Ilford. I could probably take a short run up & then slide the half mile to my nearest Tube station on all the pavement oysters around in the mornings. The noise of them hacking them up is lovely too. /racist

You mean you don't enjoy them walking past doing it in your ear?

The Chinese are terrible for spitting everywhere by all accounts.

Then again they probably find certain British habits bizarre and inexplicable too.

Yeah like how we keep dogs in our homes instead of our stomachs. Or how we seem to shy away from taking the digestive juices of a bear as medicine. wink

The Picaso driver at the local BP station tonight who was aggressively blowing his horn at the driver of the (very nice) Triumph Stag that had stopped at the first set of fuel pumps.

Mr Picaso had assumed the Stag would drive ahead to the furthest set of pumps and had failed to leave himself enough space between the two cars so that he could drive around the Stag to the far pumps.

I had a quiet chuckle to myself when the Stag driver pointed to the Super Unleaded nozzle, which is only available at the first set of pumps, and shouted "There isn't any Super at those ones", pointing at the far pumps.

As I was going in to pay, Mr P had completed his reversing and had progressed to the far-side pumps and started filling his car. After I'd paid and was about to leave the shop, Mr P was approaching the door to pay for his £5 of diesel. So I held the door open for him and he walked straight past me without a word. The ignorant tt.


Sorry, that's three things that made me think "Knob". All about the same bloke.

pick me, pick me.

HGV drivers who insist on overtaking another HGV that is doing 1/2 MPH slower on dual carraigeways.

I swear I was behind one that took 5 miles to complete the manouvere!

That's where rocket launchers should be mandatory, absolute nobs furiousfuriousfurious

This is unreal! i see it all the time. They slipstream another lorry and pick up 1 or 2mph advantage. pull out into the other lane sometimes forcing cars out of the way because they don't want to lose their momentum so just start drifting and leave it up to you to get out of the way. Then the 2mpg advantage drops to basically nothing when they hit the full wind!

Why doesn't the other lorry driver being overtaken just back off a bit to make it quicker if it's going to happen???!!!! They can build up the speed again from the slipstream they will get off the lorry overtaking it when it pulls back in anyway!!! Not the brightest bunch.

Had a low loader in front of us on the M27, a HGV pulled in a little too closely in front of him and the low loader driver went nuts.
Flashing all of his spot lights, swerving left and right to get round and finally undertaking on the hard shoulder in order to have
a heated exchange with the HGV driver. Absolute ******* knobhead, yeah what he did was inconsiderate, what you did was downright *******
dangerous.

The Welsh bloke who lives by me & drives an Audi A4 with an empty trailer permanently attached the back of his car. It's always empty & when he goes to Sainsburys he usually takes up 3 or 4 parking spaces.

Knob 1.

Same bloke also has stickers plasterd all over his car such as I Love Wales, Welsh & Proud Of It, Wales Rules, I Slow Down For Welsh Sheep, etc etc etc. The usual stte.

Anyway. He cannot speak a word of Welsh & he freely admits he hasn't set foot in his homeland for over 10 years - its a 30 minute drive from where hs lives yet he can't be arsed to 'go home".

Says England is a better place to live than Wales - probably means he gets better state benefits that he does in Wales.

Knob 2.


No racism intended there just in case someone decides that I was!

Pisses me off too. A bit of maths will tell you a 1000 mile journey will take you 17 hours 51 minutes at 56mph. 1000 miles will take you 17 hours 53 minutes at 55.9mph.
It takes longer than 2 minutes for an overweight lorry driver to purchase an overpriced twix bar and a can of red bull from a motorway services WHS.

There is nothing to say which wouldn't be caught by the swear filter.
