Deep in the bowels of an anonymous semi-detached house, Alfred (the lodger, in the downstairs spare room, surfing the internet in his underpants) is alerted, and rushes upstairs to wake his landlord,

I was thinking I could start off with a relatively low budget TV series that will earn me a fortune in repeat fees for the next forty years, before turning it into a Hollywood blockbuster movie franchise, with varying degrees of critical acclaim and box office success. Thoughts, anyone?

You've based Alfred on yourself, haven't you?

Nooooooooooooo! 'Outed' as a sad loner on an internet forum. Nooooooooo!

Please don't tell anyone, Pothole? I'm desperately trying to reinvent myself as a cool, creative Hollywood screenwriter here, and you're 'outing' me as a daytime masturbator with no mates

At this rate I'll never be a millionaire

Your cruel comment hurt me, like a digital wedgie

Mx5 drivers with racing mods. You just look stupid as well as tje car.looking crap.

Ikers who sit on your arse

Pulled up at some lights today,a Nissan Note had just sat through the green.

Right filter light goes green so Note goes straight over,which also prompted the Mazda 2 in the left lane

to go too.

Wakey Wakey you two.....

Stupid young women who think (if they think at all) that it is acceptable to use a hand held mobile 'phone while driving at 60 mph on a motorway.

Here is a picture of blue MINI ONE FD55 FCJ the contents of which caused me to think "knob" Or !

Genuine lol. I can't see that a previous life like that has done a certain Q Tarantino any harm, anyway.

This morning. Driving fairly spiritedly but within speed limits. Coming to the end of the hoon, approaching a traffic lit roundabout on a dual carriageway. Take it at decent speed having "beaten" a 530d in lane 2. Next thing I know he's right up my chuff. Then he goes into lane 2 at the next roundabout, which I again navigate fairly firmly.

It seems that we were 'racing' since the next thing I see is that this spud has straightlined the roundabout we've just left and screamed skilfully past me on the next straight. Straight, in fact, into a pigeon

Still, I expect he will rub himself silly later thinking about how he 'beat' an M3

TL;DR Knobs who don't realise there have to be two participants to win a race.

So are you nominating yourself.

Obviously, I would have said.

Numpty on the m4 near Celtic manor in a old 4x4 towing a trailer of hay on Thursday decided that even though there isn't enough space he will move into the gap infornt of me and the car in front. Causing me to brake and prevent his trailer damaging my car. Forcing his way into the lane I was in because he was in the wrong lane.

I found out he was one of those types who brakes as soon as he sees brake lights infornt of him :-)

Didn't explain myself very well.

I was NOT racing anyone, just enjoying a decent drive, 530d man clearly though we were racing and murdered a pigeon.

Back tracking quicker than a M3 in top.

I got what he was saying?

His normal pace in a sports car, is equivalent to the other cars handling limit.



Surely, you come across that scenario yourself at some time?

Thanks, and yes. I'd had a really nice cross-county drive on deserted B roads and continued a similar style of driving on the Ring Road, observing the speed limit as it's notorious for speed cameras.

Therefore the 530d seemed to think he was being raced. He was not.

Good,the flying rat deserved it

For having such good peripheral vision, pigeons do like to fly into cars.

Crows are pretty sharp.

[yellowjack]

A Pigeon nearly caused a head on crash yesterday, on the Minley Road in Farnborough.


No. No, wait. That's wrong. It wasn't the Pigeon, was it? It was the stupid Doris in the MX-5 who swerved into my lane, to avoid hitting a Pigeon (which managed to escape unharmed, animal lovers ).

Thanks! You daft mare. That's really what I needed. A test of braking on my new tyres, which hadn't been on the car more than ten minutes Fortunately, the tyres, brakes, and my reactions all passed the test with flying colours.

Serious question time. Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to take a 1st generation MX-5 head to head with over a ton and a half of Ford Mondeo, in order to save the life of something widely regarded as an agricultural pest

Next time, love, do me a favour, and stick your car through the wall of St John's churchyard, because, unlike my wife and kids, the people in there are already dead

A few years ago I was following what must have been PETA on tour in the two cars in front of me. A pheasant stepped into the road so they came to a virtual haul then drove around it giving it a very wide berth. So I flattened it

This sort-of rides on the idea that petrol cars never run-up bills tho, which is patently untrue. In fact, as turbos become more prevalent on petrols they will run into the same expensive issues there - around the same time diesels 'finally get reliable' most likely ;0

I agree a lot of people run diesels when they probably aren't seeing a benefit - but it's almost impossible to work-it-out in many cases because differing upfront costs, tax, MPG. fuel cost, maintenance cost and residuals see to that. The cost that most people feel sharpest is the 'putting fuel in it' cost tho and so the car which uses the least will always feel the cheapest.

The people who run diesels 'because they're cheap' will be signing themselves up for Leafs etc. now anyway won't they? I'm getting a bit bored of being asked about them now - it seems electric cars may be on a tipping-point where people who don't care about cars seem to think they're ready to be bought!?
