One single thing that makes you think "knob"

fortunately when I'm on my motorbike I don't have to put up with any of these knobs. I just undertake or overtake at will, and nothing can out accelerate you, so you can pretty much ride how you want without these dheads having their power over you (by blocking you in or whatever).

On my bike this morning, and despite having 120bhp I still had to stop behind the Honda Accord that stopped at an empty roundabout, then I watched it leave me for dead by speeding through a 30 limit, then I got stuck behind it doing 50mph in a NSL because there was lots of on-coming traffic. My bike commute was exactly as annoying as it would have been in a car.

I could have ripped past the Accord about half a mile from my office, but by then I'd recognised the driver as someone from work, and I'd have got shouted at.

So now you get to shout at them instead.

How you conduct yourself on the road to and from work has no bearing whatsoever on your professional life. Unless they start paying you from the second you close your front door to the second you open it again they can jog on.

Selfish prick.

Hoink, earlier...

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a new car, I can tell you I don't have one. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you give me your insurance details now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will key your car.

Being right on the internet is not more important than being employed.

The good news is I've finally found something more important to me than being right on the internet

You want to tell him that?

I see him almost everyday - he used to drive a A^ estate and recently apperared with the Q7. Almaost always on the phone and I usually meet him coming the other way around the area of the school.

Drives a tank to protect his own offspring and then endangers others. = KNOB

You don't get it, do you? He has to be SEEN to be on the phone so that he can be SEEN to be busy and important, as well as fabulously wealthy enough to be able to afford to run the most unnecessarily huge car in the world, to everyone else's detriment.

Get with the programme.

Whoever thought it was a wise idea to send two huge oversize lorry loads down the M6 yesterday morning. The blocked lanes meant there was a huge tailback behind them. Fortunately I was on the opposite carriageway. Why wouldn't they make the journey at night or on the weekend, when there's less traffic about?

this has happened to be on 3 out of the last 3 motorway journeys, 2 of which were yesterday (7 hours in total, and that's without any real delays). What pisses me off about it more is that people crawl past in lane 3, probably gawping (admittedly it isn't as 'interesting' as a car crash but still), even though it only comes halfway into lane 2. Just get past the fking thing for fks sake!
