One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
The bus driver on Woodland Av in Shenfield this afternoon, who rather than stop a few feet further on so I and others could pass, stopped opposite a parked car, then sat there long enough for several hundred passengers to board/alight.

king ignorant, almost certainly knuckle dragging, .
OK, only a minor inconvenience, but why?

The colossal knob cheese in his "Barbarian" that decided the red light at the pedestrian crossing near Farnborough Gate r/bout was optional this afternoon and charged through forcing the 2 girls that were about to cross to jump back onto the pavement to avoid being run over.
Additional knobs were the morons driving the Nissan Juke and Golf R, following Mr Barbarian, that decided because he'd jumped the light, they might as well do so too.
Liar, liar, your pants are on fire - your nose is longer than a telephone wire (remember telephones with wires?)...Additional knobs were the morons driving the Nissan Juke and Golf R, following Mr Barbarian, that decided because he'd jumped the light, they might as well do so too.
...everyone knows that only cyclists ignore red traffic lights. FACT! (I read it in General Gassing)

I have been thinking along the same lines but I am quite positive about them overall because burning vegetation (hundreds of carcinogens) + inhaling hot gases is almost certainly a lot more of an irritant to the respiratory mucosa than these oil bases. If you've got to inhale something I'd rather it be these vape things. They may in time be found to be associated with a risk of different types of respiratory disease than COPD/cancer. Another semi-hidden benefit is that people tend to wean down their nicotine intake naturally using vape devices because most smokers finish each fag they start, continuously 'topping-up' their nicotine levels with the same dose each time - a lot of people using vape devices feel craving then have a few drags off it and without really trying just get the doses down - but yep not all smokers are like this.The government don't like them because they don't have enough of their fingers in the pie. And we can't behaving that can we?? If they are not getting your tobacco taxes then they want to be providing you with nicotine replacement since they are very cosy with the pharmaceutical industry.
At first they were giving people oral thrush (nice!), but this has stopped happening now.

400 pages of people saying others are knobs. Hmmmm.
And no doubt another 400 pages to come. There are lots of knobs out there to be riduculed and called to account. I was outed as a knob on PH ages ago, but I have served my sentence and am ready to knob once more.Edited by nonsequitur on Thursday 6th April 13:59
the cyclists that consistently go through a red light with a pedestrian crossing on it, whilst I'm educating my son on the green cross code and nearly wipe us out.
It happens time and time again and its a particularly bad set of lights for visibility and I'm trying to ram home the fact he waits for the green light, look left, look right and keep doing it whilst you cross the road !

I'm not defending the cyclists in your example, but, look up four or five posts in this thread and ask yourself "If someone is going to ignore a red traffic light with your son on the crossing, would you prefer it to be a cyclist, or a knuckle dragging certifiable nutcase in a big crewcab 4x4 pickup?"It happens time and time again and its a particularly bad set of lights for visibility and I'm trying to ram home the fact he waits for the green light, look left, look right and keep doing it whilst you cross the road !

Why does there have to be a choice? Both could result in death or serious injury.

i do think it's pretty funny/horrible that they all crow how amazingly safe it is, without a hint of irony... ignoring the fact that everyone thought smoking was safe for ages too. You can't know these things are safe like 2 years in to them starting to become popular, and you can't trust the two-bit dodgy companies involved in the supply chain any more than you could have trusted william morris etc years ago. It's a bit thick really.yellowjack said:

anyone that insists on using the 'E' or 'F' number when talking about their BMW. T*ats
This is a car enthusiast site. Referring to E codes helps differentiate between the various models of BMW. If I said to you I drive a 1995 BMW 5 series, this could either be a late E34 or early E39. People on here refer to various Hondas by certain codes. Do I have a clue what they refer to? No. Do I whinge? No. If I need to know, I will look it up.Triumph Man said:
