bout 90% of them have no visible means of collecting the dog's turds
I wasn't aware I had to wear my s
t-bags on my head so that other people could tell I had them. I've usually got 3-4 of them in my pockets though 
kers who hang their little black bags of st on trees, fences, or place them on tree stumps a few yards from the parking areas.Seriously. As a dog owner, you can NEVER win this debate whilst there is even one halfwit out there letting your side down. It's much the same as the "all cyclists are w
kers" mob baying for blood because they once saw ONE cyclist run a red light. So stop defending the filthy owners who don't bother, challenge those that you see ignoring the rules (you may need a spine and a dose of moral courage for that one
) and pick up after your own beast. Make life more pleasant for everyone by not foisting your precious furball and it's filthy leavings on the rest of us, and FFS please NEVER utter the ultimate insult to a non dog owner... "Oh, he's OK, he only wants to say hello" ...because it's just an admission that you are incapable of controlling an animal who's natural pack instinct is to obey the pack leader. That's meant to be you, and if you are not 'top dog' then you ought not keep one, eh?And to reiterate: if you don't like the mountain bikes, and your dog cannot be kept under control around them, choose somewhere where the bikers don't ride to walk the damned thing, it ain't rocket surgery

On the subject of clothes, my preference is for high quality and frequently bespoke. BUT, in the interest of good taste, I prefer to have the label on the inside. I don't feel the need to flaunt these things at everyone I see. I'm sure you can see why I find private plates to be somewhat vulgar displays of wealth. But hey, if your ego needs it, go for it and enjoy
And please, don't take this so seriously! Some people like to be 'flash' whilst others prefer subtlety. Neither is 'right' or 'wrong'. But, if you flaunt wealth, some people will judge you for it. That's just the way life is.

Nicely done. And not in the least knobbish. But don't take it seriously.

How so? You don't know me so perhaps you wouldn't mind explaining?
Next you'll be claiming that your cherished/private plates give your cars some sort of 'stealth' characteristic making them LESS noticeable.I will make no such claim. Looking at the car with its low mileage and good condition it looks newer than it is. This is the feedback I get, not my opinion. I don't tell people how old they are, up to them to guess should they be interested.
I prefer older cars than new ones as I prefer the interior of the older cars, newer ones look cheap and tacky to me. So why would I buy a new car when I can get the car I prefer and spend the money I have saved on running that and 2 other cars?
The plates came on the cars I already had so paid nothing for them, therefore the flaunting wealth statements are ridiculous.
The plates do not spell my name or anything rude.
Not sure why this makes me a chav and a knob, hence why I asked for clarification.
Some low level nobbery today, sat waiting for traffic to come through a gap that'll take traffic in one way or the other. Not both ways. I'm the lead car, I'm sat to the left of the road, right indicator on. Car following me decides that either they like going past cars turning right or is completely oblivious to what's going on.
Realising at the last minute, drawing level with me and seeing traffic approaching, driver decides to sheepishly reverse back in behind me at a jaunty angle which makes it hard for oncoming traffic to get through.
Just completely unaware, no thought at all

Woman in an MX5 ......
...in Hampton.
Stopped way over the stop line at some lights then used a clearly marked right turn lane to turn left
onto the road by the river.
First car on her left blocked her off,that'll learn her.......
She didn't have the hood down either,neither did anyone else TBH.

I guess if you hate personal plates then you live in a house just big enough for your needs, drive a car that is adequate, dress in clothes that are unbranded etc etc as someone else might look at those things and think they are an unnecessary accoutrement.
If someone wants to spend money on something, then live and let live..unless they then use that thing illegally.

Today's knob on my commute was the fat angry bald man in the finance white Astra GTC who:
1) Used a right turn lane to jump traffic and go straight ahead
2) tailgating an mx5
3) tried to use the left hand lane of a roundabout to turn right, and almost ran into the back of me and then forced his way back into the correct lane and cutting up someone else in the process.

Merc day for the knobs today.
First the woman in the pus yellow SLK that shoved her way into L1 from the slip road,squeezing between 2 cars,when she could have just hung back for 1 car& got into L1 then L2, as it was she had to wait for me to passing L2 before she could pull out anyway
And worse,the idiot who drove the wrong side/wrong way of a road seperated by a concrete divide,confused by a few cones on a roundabout. I had to swerve to avoid the loon

The two idiots who nearly hit each other on a roundabout ahead of me today.
Two lanes onto the roundabout. Van to the left, car to the right. Van enters roundabout ahead of car. Both keep to their respective lanes at first, so far so good. Then the van decides he needs the third exit, and so crosses the path of the car, which obviously wants the first exit, as you would from the right hand lane on approach. Cue a long horn blast and rabid, foaming at the mouth anger from the car driver and a slamming on of the brakes and some 'I want to fight you' hand gestures from the van's passenger who jumped out and started walking toward the car.
Another car entered the roundabout from my right, and pulled up behind the van, who's driver had stopped blocking the second exit, and the arrival of this 'neutral' witness appeared to defuse the situation, as the scruffy chap from the van got back in, and both the car and the van drove away.
FFS, chaps! You BOTH fked up, and in the end, no damage was done. Please just calm down, carry on with your journey, and learn to get in the correct (well signed) lane for your exit when you are approaching a roundabout. I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect that there may have been some previous issue between the two cars that I hadn't witnessed, as it just seemed too small an issue to have stopped and assaulted someone over.
Also, a general plea to the various idiots on the A3 southbound this afternoon...
Please desist from this silly habit of barreling down the slip roads and literally forcing your way onto the main carriageway. There is no requirement for me to vacate lane 1 to allow you on. YOU need to identify a SAFE gap and match your speed to get into it. A quick look would have confirmed to you that I couldn't have changed lanes even if I'd wanted to, dumbasses.
Please, if you absolutely have to force your way on, have the bloody courtesy to remember where your accelerator pedal is, and get a fking move on in front of me. Definitely DON'T lift off and slip down from c60mph to c50mph, thereby causing the vehicles behind me to start that 'concertina' braking that can quickly cause needless delays.
Please, when you are in the Hindhead tunnel, and the LED signs are showing 'NSL' symbols, either get a fking move on in lane 2 (clue: that'd be 70mph or very close to it ) or move across to lane 1 if you're happy at c50mph. Causing traffic to close up like you did is quite hazardous in the confines of such a long tunnel.
And on the A31 (Hog's Back) don't emerge from the "suicide gap" in the central reservation and get into lane 1 ahead of me when I'm travelling at an entirely reasonable 60 mph (or 'at the posted speed limit') and proceed to dawdle along at c30mph. This caused my wife to swear (it takes a lot to make her do that) and to implore me to "move over, for fk's sake". Only I couldn't move over because lane 2 was full of vehicles passing me in excess of the speed limit. Lucky for you my brakes functioned as intended, eh? And don't compound the issue, after I've found a gap in lane 2 traffic and overtaken you, by leaving a few seconds then flying past at >70mph. If you'd pushed the car harder in the first place I wouldn't have had to brake nearly so hard when you emerged unsafely from the 'cross gap'. Wake the fk up, or one day you'll try that trick and the driver you cut up won't be concentrating. Collisions at those kinds of speed can kill or permanently injure - think about that while you are impatiently waiting to cross two lanes of 60mph+ traffic.

When I came out he had left the soiled nappy on the car park floor.
fking filthy knob.
Aren't they looking for a Lithuanian in connection with a schoolgirl's disappearance?

king filthy knob.Two from today all the space of 45 minutes,
1) the two hideous women in charge of a promising young footballer in Burger King In Bognor, firstly get his arse of the food counter secondly,she asks the server have you got a toy he can have he's going to kick off in a minute" WTF discipline the little tyke then.
2) at my daughters stables, 4x4 knob towing a catering van blocks up the entrance/exit to the car park holding up 10 cars exiting and myself and another entering. I thought he had broken down but no he was doing it to ensure the lady who had parked on a no parking zone had maximum humilation to fuel his ego.
When I suggested he had adequate room to back up to let the cars exit and complete his maneuvere when the offending car had moved I was told this was not possible, more like you cant revers fk nugget.

People who won't pull the fk over on dual carriageways even when you and them are the only cars in sight.
Sight being the operative word, most likely you're not in their sight.k over on dual carriageways even when you and them are the only cars in sight.I find if you draw along side them, you see that they are sat that far forward (often the head is in front of the rear view mirror) that they have no idea who is to the left or behind them.
I may get flamed for this, but here is mine from today.
Woman tailgating, and looking into the passenger footwell, paying next to no attention in front of her.
So stayed at a steady throttle, but pressed brake peddle enough to show the brake lights.
The next time she looked up, she smashed her brakes hard enough to lock up, swerve left, and bounce off the curb, hard enough to point her towards the center of the lane again. Couldn't have done her tracking any good.
She flashed her lights, honked the horn, and stopped. I just carried on.
So am I a knob, or is it all on her?
