People that go to a concert and spend the whole time watching the F**king thing through their f**king phones, no-one gives a st you're at a concert and filming the whole thing and posting it on snapchat/facebook ain't going to f**king change that you washed-up plebs. Some of us would like to just enjoy it without having your f**king phone in the way and your elbows in our f**king face.

Also bigger lads at concerts who seems to spend the whole time seeing how many times they can barge other people out of the way until they have a huge clear space around them where no-one wants to stand anymore. C**ts.

People who are in a busy area (like, lets say, Birmingham christmas market) who stop dead in pedestrian traffic to take a picture of something inane, so they can post it on their s**tty Facebook where no-one will give a single s**t about it or their existence, if you're going to stop move to the side you s**tsters.

In summary: Stop being so self centred and obsessed with sharing your life and go out and f**king enjoy it instead, you putrid c**ts.

Some of your comments come across as logical and thought out.

But the ones on filtering...........a little bit kookie. wobble
Thank you. But isn't filtering for motorbikes, charging down the middle of motorway traffic?

Proper, weapons grade knobbery from me this morning.

Sitting at lights on a DC, I'm in lane 2 with a filter lane to my right, I'm at the front with loads of cars waiting in all lanes.
I notice the 2 blokes in the car behind smiling and giving the thumbs up and there's also 2 blokes in a van next to me in lane one doing the same. I give the thumbs up back to the van guys and they're nodding forward, smiling and making that "Go for it!" gesture with the hand.
If it had been youngsters in a hot hatch wanting to race me I wouldn't have bothered but it was a lovely bright day, completely clear dual carriageway in front of me and dry roads, I thought "Why not?" These are are all middle aged blokes like me just wanting to hear the car.

Now I don't mean some mental drag-strip launch but I thought I'll just stab through the first few gears and wake up the exhausts up a bit.
I see the green light and blast off, after a couple of gears the speedo is climbing a bit quickly so I lift off, when I look in the mirror everybody is still sitting back at the lights, I've gone on the filter!

So there's about 30 people back at the junction thinking "Who the hell does this wker think he is?"

Talk about cringe, I'm still feeling it now.

I even took the right at the next junction (which wasn't where I was going) just so I wouldn't have to see them again if they caught up!

Knob.
One knob for burning the filter lane. Another knob for racing. Although you were on your own.

People who bang on about German cars being superior to every other brand because of the soft touch materials used on dashboards and around the cabin in general. Unless you rub yourself over the dash or centre console it doesn't really matter, what does matter are things like seats and noise level inside. I was a passenger in a new 4 series yesterday, it was only a short journey (Reading to London and back) but my arse was asleep half way and my back felt awful. I've had the same experience in Passats and Mercs, this isn't just an anti BMW post. I just feel for their price tags they should be able to offer something not st, although I may have been spoiled growing up with my dad owning an XM and his Xtype was pretty comfy too. I won't even compare it to my V70 even though it's a 17 year old shed, everyone knows the Swedes make the best seats!
yes Volvo's and Saab's have the best seats in the business and can be had for peanuts thumbup

Birmingham Christmas market is stressful enough as it is, but there's always some prick stopping dead in front of you, or walking the wrong way down the one way bits to be awkward. I hope she doesn't try and make me go again this year!

Not big, not clever, and by no means a boast, but I had a big fat fattie of a young lad waving his arms and particularly his elbows about when I was trying to enjoy The Twang at Hyde Park. Me and my wife, and a group of three young women, all between 5'0" and 5'4", had deliberately stayed toward the side of the crowd at the back. This fat lad was belting the ladies about the head repeatedly with his elbows. I asked him nicely to stop. Twice. I wasn't going to waste my time asking a third time, so when he carried on swinging, and knocked one of the girls sideways, I threw a punch that (fortunately for me, and for him) didn't connect properly. I'm a mere 5'6" myself, so thought I might be in for trouble, but his response was a meek "no need for that, mate" and off he wobbled to irritate someone else.

Similarly at Reading, in the NME tent watching some Indie band or other. Again, we'd stayed well clear of the obvious rough areas, where the circle pits form and lagered up young-uns like to push and shove. Again, I was with the wife, and near several younger couples and girls, all small and staying out of the way to the side of stage. Two gobby bean-pole teenagers, one on the other's shoulders came steaming through trying to force their way to the front. The lad up top was kicking out at all and sundry, to forge a path. When he kicked me I ignored it, but blocked their path. That sort of st happens at festivals, it's not nice but you kind of expect it. But when they started kicking a shorter girl, again I snapped and put the pair of them on their combined arses with a shove. They ran off out of the tent, evidently not keen to confront someone who was less than impressed with their bullying behaviour. The reaction of the security steward? "Nice one mate, but next time let me sort it out, eh?" It might have been trouble, if it hadn't been for the thank-yous and high fives from virtually everyone who'd been kicked and pushed around by the obnoxious ferrets.

Like I say, not big, clever, nor a boast. I could have been arrested or ejected from both festivals. I'm not a naturally violent chap, either, but all those "Moral Courage" lectures over the years must have sunk in because I can't stand by and watch the small, and vulnerable, be trodden all over by big strong oafs. You wanna mosh? Fine, fk off to the mosh pit and do it with the 'big boys'. Elsewise, play nice and look after those around you who are more vulnerable in a crowd.

As for the mobile phone filming addicts? Can anyone think of even one occasion, in the entire history of the internet, when there was even one PROPERLY DECENT piece of gig footage shot on one of these blasted devices? Personally, I'd round the lot of them up and have them ejected, leaving those of us who like to live in the here and now, and enjoy the moment, to get on with doing just that.

One single thing that made me think "knob!" last night was a conversation between some achingly trendy teenage lads in the queue behind me to get into Brixton Academy for The Vaccines last night. Topics of conversations ranged from "fun fact - up to the '90s it was legal for husbands to rape their wives. How cool is that!" to "Who's scabby enough to wear George at Asda underwear? I mean like, who's that desperate?" quickly followed by "£15 for a t-shirt? That's a bit steep!". The rape comment was outrageous, but the fact that they had female company just made it worse. The other two statements on their own wouldn't have raised a comment from me, but the two taken together made me think "How fking sad". You balk at the thought of spending £15 on a t-shirt, the purchase of which will support your favourite band, yet you'll happily spend a fortune on some designer pants, presumably so that you can wear them sticking out of the top of your jeans to demonstrate your ability to spend inappropriately large sums of money on a garment designed solely to prevent faeces from soiling your even more outrageously priced denim trousers, whilst simultaneously demonstrating your inability to buy a pair of trousers that actually fit. I was secretly hoping that the next time one of them lit a cigarette (yet another knobbish thing to do in a tightly packed queue) he'd accidentally set fire to his stupid quiff too. Knobs. There were whispered comments, too, every time a particularly friendly steward walked up and down the queue trying to get e-ticket holders to move to a different queue, and carrying a bin for people's rubbish. I suspect that they were derogatory, and possibly racist, but they made sure that no-one else could hear those particular mutterings.

You have admitted being a knob, but only for using a filter, not the main, lane.

But, on a public road with plenty of traffic behind, You rise to the challenge from neighbouring drivers and charge away fron the traffic lights at speed with accompanying noise.

You were racing your ego, and came second.

(And all this whilst driving a mark two Astra, with a large exhaust!!)

I really shouldn't be bothering with this but you keep wittering on about the filter lane, try reading the post, it was the filter light. No life was endangered during the course of my knobbery.

People that walk along country roads at night, whist dressed in black from head to toe. WTF is wrong with these people? They must have a death wish.
I had this last night, Over Lane in Belper where the road dips down past a sewage works. Its a fairly narrow country road with high hedges either side, no street lights so pitch black. Last night it was also raining so viability was low but there were 5 teenagers wandering down the road, backs to approaching traffic all dressed in black. Only takes 1 person not fully concentrating to wipe the lot of them out, idiots.
