The driver of the number 6 bus yesterday. Was pulled into a bus stop with his left indicator on when I pulled out to overtake him. He instantly switches the right indicator on and moves off with me on the opposite side of the road then proceeds to give me the coffee beans for overtaking.

Have experienced similar.

Pulling up alongside a bus that was stopped and indicating left. I get halfway along the length of the bus and he whacks his right indicator on and starts to move. I continued past him and get a blast from the horn!!

I appreciate they have right of way to move off but indicating and moving at the same time, let alone when a passing vehicle has no option to continue passing or stops on the wrong side of the road is just them being a knob!

There's a single track road past the front of my house. A lorry was partially blocking it as he was a bit lost. A van approached, and rather than wait for the lorry to clear out of the way, the van driver just decided to use my front lawn to get past.

Is your front lawn the 'council owned verge?'

If so then there is little you can do. If it is your property then some tasteful barriers to discourage miscreant motorists would be advisable.

p.s. I have this problem, my house is very close to the road but my 'lawn' is local authority property. So ********* cars drive over it!!

Uber Knob?
Top Knob?
Grandmaster Knob?
Knob Supreme?
Knob Supremo?
Big Knob?
Nano Knob?

That's enough knobs for now, must dash.

Nano knob is surely very small. A knob may indeed possess one of these but not pejorative enough.

Better Kilo (just for it's alliterative enhancement) but Mega, Giga or Terra.
Maybe knob squared, cubed or <insert very high power here>. Maybe as high as a googol as in googol-knob.

I really just wanted it to scan.

Idiot in the Audi that overtook a cyclist on a blind bend at some speed, at least 60% over the white line as I came the other way,and had to slam on the brakes.
he was away so fast I didnt even get a chance to hoot or flash at him,although I would rather have given him a good hiding

Whever I see a young or middleaged white middle class woman in a Deisel E-Class Convertible acting as if the world revolves around her plastic arse and lips. You know the type. Overpriced dress, family issues, narcissistic and constantly keeping an eye on their stupid fking hand bag with the head of a slightly retarded small fluffy dog perched out of one end.

Jim Jefferies put it quite well: "All guys want to be the king. White chicks wanna be princesses and black girls want to be the queen. The only white chick that wants to be the queen, is the queen."

P.S. This isn't a racial thing. I just find it amusing.

Sorry but wtf is that all about?

No, I don't know the 'type'.

Was in Waitrose today and the customer at the till next to us was American and rather loud. He very loudly asked the cashier if she would believe him if he said he was 46, she did a good job at pretending to be surprised and he loudly said again "yes I'm 46", what a cock.

To be fair to him he didn't look 46, he looked about 50.

The DVLA again.

It's been a while but they have sent me a SORN penalty demand for a Ringing Kit I sent them.

Complete with covering letter saying the log book was sold illegally and I only bought it to stop someone else's car being stolen and the identity used.

In the mean time the eBay seller went online and issued me a new V5C that I have sent to the DVLA for disposal.

Here we go...

The queue of several impatient drivers behind me today who, whilst sat at an exceptionally long traffic light cycle, decided that blaring their horns + the guy behind me revving his engine and lurching his car forward, would get me to drive through a red light. Yes, I know you all thought the lights were broken, but as I had gone through two cycles in the queue I knew there was a good 3-4 minutes of waiting before about 10 secs on green lights for us.

Just before the lights cycled to green for us, two foot bobbies came round the corner and saw the guy behind me lurching his car. Right as the lights went green and I moved off and they stepped in front of the car behind and instructed him to pull over. Looked in my rearview at him making a hash of pulling into the pavement, blocking the cars behind him from getting past. So that's another 4 minutes of red lights for you impatient fkers. Karma's a bh eh?

I do have some sympathy for bus drivers (especially given the knobbery in Manchester) but some of them don't do themselves any favours. One irritating thing I've noticed is parking the bus at an angle, so that the back end juts out across the road making passing difficult, and making it much easier for the bus to pull back out.

Another is putting the right indicator on 15 seconds before they're ready to move off, so you're sat behind them waiting and wondering.....

Forgot to mention....

White 1-series in Rawtenstall earlier today, driving like a tit. Car in front stops as the lights change from yellow to red, One-series Man goes round him and does a left, forcing a Qashqai waiting to turn right to slam on. Substantial prat.
