The nob-edd in the V-plate corsa driving through Rambottom tonight.
You're lucky my nob-edd detector was working when you overtook me, otherwise chances are you would have the word DENNIS imprinted on your Neanderthal visage.
Was it a bus? Or a fire engine??You're lucky my nob-edd detector was working when you overtook me, otherwise chances are you would have the word DENNIS imprinted on your Neanderthal visage.
I was doing 30mph and he decides to overtake. His car was crawling past mine at a speed differential of <5mph. God knows why - either he was in the wrong gear or his car wasn't as powerful as he had assumed. Anyway it was a narrow road and a bus came round th bend. Fortunately I'd eased off to let him past but what a muppet!!!
It's not one thing but i've been on public transport today so it's time for a rant 
Overall, people on public transport that have no consideration for others - take today for example.
1 - On the way back from St Albans on the train, 12 carriages, the one i picked was about 1/4 full, loads of seats to pick from, yet someone boards the train & comes and sits in the seat next to me forcing me to move to another seat.
2 - The man who then joined the train at St Pancras and stank of a mixture of urine & excrement and managed to clear people from the carriage as the smell was that bad.
3 - Impatient people on train platforms that cant be bothered to wait for people to exit the carriage before they try boarding, and also cretins who barge past those of us who've been waiting on the platform for 15 minutes for a delayed train, even though they've only just joined the platform/got off another train.
4 - The fashion disaster gangsta swagger lad in his late 20's that came & sat on the "Quiet" carriage on the train out of Waterloo with music blaring out of his massive headphones, whilst also playing games on his mobile. When the guard challenged him, cue the expected big man talk and how he was "being discriminated" against.

1. Was it their booked seat? might seem silly, but if I'm travelling half way accross the country I always go to my booked seat as most others are reserved, so I will have to move later on in my journey, hence I need my seat 1 - On the way back from St Albans on the train, 12 carriages, the one i picked was about 1/4 full, loads of seats to pick from, yet someone boards the train & comes and sits in the seat next to me forcing me to move to another seat.

2.
I will have to remember that the next time I want a seat 
3. Always seems to be teenagers that try to force their way on, I usually just walk at them and they back off.
4. By any chance were his jeans obviously bought by his Mum; bought 3 sizes too big as "he will grow into them"
No definitely wasn't a prebooked seat - the guy didn't look the sort to do that 
Plus he gave me a funny look and groaned loadly when he sat down which kind of spurred me to move on incase it was a sign of things to come
And yes gangsta lad was swinging his trousers half way down his arse with his pants on show

ish programme anyway as you know they'll be back in 2 years because it "didn't go to plan" i.e. they man-maths'd their finances, had to take a massive pay cut, ended up nowhere near the sea (because everywhere in australia backs on to a beach right?) and they miss just about everything they liked about the UK. "But if you don't try you'll never know!" yea but now you know, and you're £50k in debt. The teen will prob have a stter relationship with them now too, but probably will be having a whale of a time without parents, and being forced (kinda) to build their own life without family. Still, it's over 20 degrees every day eh! You can have a BBQ for dinner all year round etc etc.benjj said:

Redundant; perhaps.
But it's not really sonething to get so angry about . . . Is it?
