I often do this "amateur traffic dynamicist" thing in stop-start traffic. I try to keep to a constant speed while the gap in front of my car expands and contracts with the hope that my efforts will help to clear the congestion. I don't know how effective it is but it also gives me something to concentrate on and helps to stop me getting annoyed at being stuck in traffic.
Me too.It's something to do, and much less frustrating than constant stop/start.

Stupid people in general.
TV quiz on last week, asked this question to 4 adults on a team.
What is the longest canal?
a. Suez
b. Panama
c. Grand canal in Venice.
They all put their heads together and had a discussion and then with their combined wisdom stated
" Well, the Grand canal sounds big, so yeah, our answer is grand canal."
'Wanted -Down Under' , a show where disgruntled Brits with a budget of £400k get shown properties worth £600k, before suddenly deciding (with depressing frequency), that actually it's a little bit far so they probably won't bother.
Anyway, a family of four were being shown around a property, when a Kookaburra started cackling from a nearby tree.
"whassat" said the Mum "Monkeys?"
Jeez!
How about that program about buying and selling antiques. The contestants are expected to buy from antique fairs where professional dealers sell. Then sell at auction where the professionals buy. All the while being fawned over by some spiv type character. TV quiz on last week, asked this question to 4 adults on a team.

As stated earlier in this thread by myself and touching on the quiz show comment. Every b@stard show has a sh!tbag teacher in it, and they are usually as thick a sh!t. These along with life in general annoy me beyond reason.

Spending ages meticulously moving apps onto the SD card only to have Google play update them and move them back onto the phone memory meaning more time wasted moving them back to the SD. I believe this is an Android Lollipop thing.
Wait, what? I've never checked that. Arse biscuitsmarmitemania said:

" I don't actually like quizzes!"
Fast forward a few weeks and was actually on the show, and waiting in the Green room for our turn, there was another lady (not being sexist, it's just the way it was), was sitting in the corner with a pen and paper and 'The Big Book of Quiz Questions', and was meticulously copying the questions and answers.
As the previous shows were being filmed, people were getting booted off and were coming up to the room, at which point the quiz lady would pull them to one side and demand to know what questions they'd been asked and of course the answers, which she'd then write down in her notebook (as if they'd ask the same ones again on her show!!!).
She was on the show after mine, and got both her first two questions wrong, and was told to go away and bone up on General Knowledge before being let back on to the next show (I made the last bit up), and then apparently she had a massive go at the production team as -
"It wasn't fair, I knew some of the answers to the other peoples questions, but didn't know mine, so therefore their questions were easier than mine, and it's not fair etc etc).
She was last seen sitting in the corner of the Hotel bar that night, having nothing to do with us lot, but regaling some poor passing unfortunate with how she'd been done wrong.
Why do people do it?

I have seen the Down under programme a couple of times. What a load of contrived sh!t, but I was compelled to continue viewing just to witness the spectacle of stupidity. ' I don't think we will be able to be away from our family'. 'We didn't realise the cost's involved'. Had they not though about these things before they contacted the television company and had a free holiday to Australia? A bit like the clowns who are looking to move to the country, the programme invariably ends with the statement 'after careful thought Timmy and Jemima have decided to stay where they are'. Dreamers the lot of them.
I used to watch "Get a New Life", where people would apply to the programme then apparently be surprised when the production crew turned up to offer them a move to another country. Key highlights for me were the couple who wanted to move to rural Italy where there was no British ex-pat community but didn't plan on learning Italian, and the software bloke who made a big thing about how important his laptop and printer were and he'd be unable to earn a living in Spain if anything happened to them, then proceeded to stick them in a big suitcase with a few socks around them, pay £600+ in excess baggage to take them with him, then gaze in wonder as they came out the other end in several pieces.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
