So is my life, as a 30-something male worth less than that of a child

As a fellow 30 something male, yes.

Not worth less than an old codger though.

You really think your life is worth less than that of a child? I feel sorry for you.

I suspect it's all that guff about 'potential'

Astounding.

But what if the child is a born loser, or deeply unlucky, and thus has little potential?

This is clearly a subject that needs deep study - maybe we could apply for a grant!

[Blown2CV]

possibly it's because adults and old people are perceived as needing caring for, whereas adults can look after themselves. Anywayyyyyy....

20 years more life left to live than us. None of us are getting any younger, however many baseball caps and printed t-shirts we own .

[AW111]

But I have 20 years more memories than a thirty (two) year old . Doesn't that count?

Anyway, the thirty year old will probably have a miserable life ahead of him : he looks a gloomy begger.


My new hobby : running down unhappy people and unpromising children, to save them from a life of misery. It's a crappy job, but we all must do our bit.

Silver Toyota Yaris this morning at Rivelyn. I overtook you, causing no having to change course or slow down yet you flashed your lights at me, why? As I just overtook you I knew you were there so no need to flash your lights. Saw you edging over into the middle of the road to try to prevent it too, unless you are just a crap driver and can't control your little tin box?

I see the following every morning:
All those muppets who seem surprised to find a motorway at the end of a motorway sliproad (the on ramp). They're the ones doing 45mph until 100 yards from the start of the merge area. It's only once they get to that point that they decide to use that pedal on the right a bit and end up joining at around 50 - 55 thus making wagons move out to impede everyone else's progress. Yes, I'm aware that not everyone's vehicle is super fast but there are limits to how dithery you can be, surely?
The above are annoying but then there's the total brain-donors who see the start of the merge line as their divine right to barge across into lane 1 irrespective of speed differential. I believe the Highway Code suggests you match your speed to that of road users already on the major road.

Brain donors? I imagine that's the last thing you want them donating after their inevitable jam-on-the-motorway demise?

If you have 28 seconds to spare, take a look at the performance of a knob I spotted giving a masterclass in Audi overtaking procedure and how to make progress.

Bar the dodgy pulling out, you did exactly the same?

ETA: Just seen the above response.

When people do a "What Car?" thread and part of the brief is the car must be at the very least 350hp and capable of breaking the land speed record, but they do 28,000 miles a year so need a car that will do 40mpg which will in itself require the driver to hypermile every where with long queues for old ladies in Honda Jazz's behind which are doing 60 odd mpg.

If you are one of these bellends that post such threads, buy a more economical car then you won't have to drive everywhere slip streaming artics.

For those of you who know the Winnersh Crossroads (Sainsburys) on the A329, plod have been doing checks and pulling the knobs who just dont understand rod signs.
For those who dont nearside of cross roads shows a white sign with LH lane straight on and rh lane blocked with the words Superstore only. Over the lights the lanes are marked straight arrow and Right turn arro, coupled with this the lights at the entrance to Sainsburys hav a green on the nearside one and a Green right turn arrow on the rh one. After these lights the rh lane 'dissappears

so i am in Lh lane and notice a van next to me in the rh lane, ok he is /should be going to Sainsburys. Noooooooo after the lights he is still alongside me and running out of road so he anchors up and pulls behind with compulsory horn blast WTF???????

And he was the only idiot over the last two days. They must not like wet conditions

So, in summary:
Another example of people who wrongly use a right filter lane to carry on straight ahead.

and some PH Spelling Police...(who may or may not use such lanes incorrectly)
