The complete & utter wk brained st in a black Golf who decided as I approached the M4/M25 interchange he didn't want the lane he was in, M4 eastbound, he needed to stay on the M25!

Best way to do this?

Well, Mr wk brained st decided to drift onto the Hatched markings & without looking or indicating come straight into my lane at about a car length in front!! Good job I was only travelling at about 60 as I was unable to move to L2 because of the traffic flow. Am also very glad I had new discs & pads at my last service too.

Mate. You`re a danger to others & I suppose yourself too. Think yourself lucky that I have encountered a wk brained st before & managed to not rear end you & that the van behind me was also able to slow so that I wasn't rear ended either.

It would also have been nice if either you, or the fknut with a face like a retarded weasel, in the back of the car accepted your monumental fk up with a certain amount of good grace, rather than offer me some coffee beans.

Guess you were going back to Shorpe because imo. Whilst you can take a out of Shorpe, you are such a you just makes a big of yourself wherever you are!
Quality rant. 8.5/10 biggrin

People who pull out of a side road to turn right - and then take about 10 car lengths to actually fully cross the centre line of the main roadway.

Meanwhile 'normal' people have to slow and swerve left to avoid said car as it straddles both side of the road.
What about people who do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cActSFgN7c
Your 'just pull out vid'. Why did you keep accelerating right up to the vehicle pulling out? You could see what was happening, but continued on to make a point.

The driver shouldn't have pulled out, but I can't understand why people like you drive up their arse?
It wasn't me driving and the person who was driving 'didn't see the situation developing'.

Bridget Jones' Baby:

A funny and poignant film which is an exellent evenings light entertainment.
Lots of laughs throughout, especially in the set pieces at the festival and the newsroom.
Apart from Hugh Grant it has, with a few exceptions, the same cast, much older of course, as the previous two films. So can be viewed with some continuity. To complete the set the same director, Sharon Macguire is at the helm.

The introduction of an American, apart from Bridget, as a lead actor is a good move with an eye on the American market for what is a quintisentially British movie. I read though, that it was not a great success in the US of A.

A good meal, this film and a coffee or a drink afterwards with a river view makes a highly recommended evening out.

(four out of five stars.)
Honestly?

It was dreadful unfunny guff from where I was dragged to.
Are there any car chases in it?

Or Space ships??
What about shoot outs or slow-mo fight scenes???

Not even the people from Pixar doing voice-overs????


Did it at least have an ad with Ray Winstone saying '365' in a voice that would credit a phone perv?????



No!?


Sounds great!! confused
I like a good story, usually prefer the book of the film. However, just seen The departed, now that's a great film.

Anyway back to topic.

The silly mare that pulled out on me on the way home on Friday, didn't bother looking left to see if anything was coming. I'm going to hazard a guess this is her 'thing' and has happened before (albeit with contact being made) judging by the dodgy respray on the left hand rear quarter of the st heap she was driving.

getting an uber back from manchester on friday night after a few beers with work, and we're on chester road which is a main artery in and out from the south of the city. it's three lanes in each direction in places, so it's at least fairly busy at all times of day. We are in L3 to prepare for an upcoming right turning filter. we reach a break in the central reservation, and the utter spanner in L2 lane just ahead of us decides to take the opportunity to do a 30mph u-turn across the front of us and onto the other carriageway. Literally skimmed the front of our car on both front corners. I've never seen anything so fking moronic in all my life.

Got BO55 as the first part of your number plate? You are a knob. There are at least 3 around here, one of which I have come into contact with and is knob personified.

Having a Cornish flag, a Spanish bull or even worse 'Kangaroos Crossing 25 miles' stickers on your car, as if it's some kind of major achievement that you've been on a holiday.

Knob in a Honda Accord who ignores the "lane ahead closed" sign on the M66 southbound last week. Knob then continues in L3 (even after there's a big red cross on the overhead gantry) right up to the two-car accident and then forces L2 to come to a stop so he can "merge in turn".

He wants APISing.

actually to be honest I'd say that's the only time where merge in turn at the end is the wrong thing to do. Everyone running at 50/70mph depending on limit, and probably not leaving sufficient gaps... don't want to be acting at the last minute in those conditions when there is a ton of traffic and cones etc.

Flashing someone yesterday on A6 in very heavy rain, could barely see them as they had no headlights on

Outside lane, flashed her so of course they may have thought I wanted to go past. BUT the tt gives me the beans as she goes into inner lane before I tell her to put her bd lights on before someone drives into her stupid arse. Then she gives it the sorry face

Agree it was fairly dreary and predictable. Gags were predictable. Girlfriend seemed to like it though....

Of course, there are other APIS situations than the one described. After many postal battles regarding this subject I now realise that the 'Merge in turners' are incorrect in many aspects regarding their particular point of view. Twice over the weekiend I was APISed when Right Turn Only laners shot ahead and pushed in after the lights. But I would suggest that this is only a small part in the vertiginous drop in driving standards of late.

2 fkwits out their cars having a shouting match. Fair enough, whatever floats your boat and all that but honestly even slobbing in front of the TV has to be more fun. The really shouty one was a heavy set female.

Just as i'm about to overtake, my lights catch both her rear tyres and i spy they are all but entirely bald. The outer tread on the right is through to the white thready fabric stuff that's under under the rubber.

So 2 knobs - 1 the big weaponised gob ste for whatever she had done because she'd only exert that kind of energy if she was the one in the wrong and 2 whatever MOT tester passed those tyres at the last MOT because it's pretty unlikely they got to that state in under 12 months.

Nice to see an emerging film society on this thread. Sometimes we need a break from knobs and their infantile behaviour.

Black Mini Cooper S Convertible at the A229/M2 junction.

This guy had some of the worst road skill I have ever seen.

No indication on ANY of his 'moves'.
Last second exit from Bluebell hill into an existing queue.
Straight into the inside lane of the slip road, without looking.
Starts in the outer left lane of the three lane roundabout, when he wanted the Inner right hand lane.
Two forced lane swaps in heavy traffic over the two roundabouts, again no indicating.


All three of my passengers agreed he was a moron of the King cockwomble class.

And can we expect in good Hollywood tradition Knobs 2 and 3, and possibly the prequel Dawn of the Knobs?

The person in front of me in the queue at the cab rank at Kings Cross yesterday, who asked the driver to take them to St Pancras. I st you not.
Could they have possibly not known how close it was? What was the reaction of the cab driver? ?
Pound signs in front of his eyes...
I can't see how she couldn't have known how close it was, or indeed recognised it on the other side of the street from the cab rank. Or seen the giant "St Pancras" lettering on the glass extension.

The cabbie managed to keep a straight face as he gently pointed out it was about 50 feet away.
