fortunately when I'm on my motorbike I don't have to put up with any of these knobs. I just undertake or overtake at will, and nothing can out accelerate you, so you can pretty much ride how you want without these dheads having their power over you (by blocking you in or whatever).

On my bike this morning, and despite having 120bhp I still had to stop behind the Honda Accord that stopped at an empty roundabout, then I watched it leave me for dead by speeding through a 30 limit, then I got stuck behind it doing 50mph in a NSL because there was lots of on-coming traffic. My bike commute was exactly as annoying as it would have been in a car.

I could have ripped past the Accord about half a mile from my office, but by then I'd recognised the driver as someone from work, and I'd have got shouted at.

So now you get to shout at them instead.

How you conduct yourself on the road to and from work has no bearing whatsoever on your professional life. Unless they start paying you from the second you close your front door to the second you open it again they can jog on.

I used to drive down a residential street to get to work when i was in the motor trade. Ageing make resident takes umbridge as he is clearly part of the "s that think they live down a private road but don't" brigade. As at one point I had driven a lettered-up car, he realised where I worked and complained every time, to my Dad AKA the dealer principal. Fortunately he wasn't arsed about my driving; more an issue was the fker pestering him all the time. I had never done anything wrong, and even going fast down that road was probably only 20mph or something. Complete st for brains. I hate old people that hate life - if you hate life then pop your fking clogs and do us all a favour!

Let's not start talking about the tube, there's enough material in a day on the tube (and probably from trams/mass transit in other cities around the UK) to keep this thread going into Vol. 3.

White Kuga?

It was However this prize dickcheese was on the south mimms roundabout (A1M Hatfield etc), after nearly ramming a motorbike and the brake testing me, he went on to the tttery described above.

Well, if it's not him I think we need to start stereotyping white Kuga drivers.

Not a 12-plater, by any chance? (ETA about 3pm ish?)

Had the pleasures of him yesterday coming along the Brentwood Bypass, he decided I pulled in front of him too early (EASY 50m away, quite probably more), he then drove along polishing my back bumper for me, I pulled back in to L1 after I had completed my overtakes (from L3), to find myself blocked in by him by the time I came to overtake the next truck. He was right up against the offside of my car, matching speeds exactly. No difficulty to brake and let him past, but yeah what a prize, de-bked, essex tt.

7pm, maybe he was going home :-)

In the car I try not to get wound up, and cruise like Mr and Mrs average. And plan further ahead than the competition, thus making sure you're in the right lane as much as poss so you don't get blocked.

not sure why you feel the need to quote me but with no comment of your own.

The thread is one single thing that makes you think "knob"

I quoted your post.

Figure it out yourself.

And reading that just makes me think this thread is full of children.

The little prick who say "chair" instead of "yeah" just spoke to me on the phone. He knows he can't do it to my face because I'll punch his.

What?

It's a young lad at work I mentioned a few pages ago who says "chair" instead of "yeah" because he want's be cool like Wretch32.

It's as annoying as taking catchphrase comedy out of context. Don't get me started on that...

To clarify, instead of saying 'yeah' in response to questions, he says 'chair'?



Am I just not down with the kids anymore (in a non Jimmy Saville way)?

I see. Is your 'chair boy' black from the ghetto or just a ? I suspect the latter.

The knob in the Fiesta who once i pulled out flashed me and then his mate opened his wallet an dpointed to the hard shoulder expecting me to pull over to the hard shoulder.

Note to your mate when you flash your wallet as if its a warrant card please make sure you're pink driving license isn't showing.

Also when ased what they playing at they shut up and din't have an answer

Interesting, I met mine around 20:30.

Last night* there were two berks in Transits who absolutely refused to use the inside lane. One in a sign-written KLT van with a "How's my driving sticker?" on the back. "st and selfish, mate, st and selfish".

Cheers, Jim

• This will not become a regular thing, I encounter several knobs each way, every day, as I'm sure you all do.

The nearest he's been to a Ghetto is the frozen cake isle in Iceland.

frozen cake isle in iceland - they have one of those?!?! Sounds amazing. I just need a flight, crampons and a spoon.

I started a thread about those silly bags getting smaller and smaller with what seems like longer and longer sticks on MSE.

My contribution to the problem was to invent the purse on a stick.




I also wonder why people almost push me out of the way to get off the train and then queue on the right up the escalator; if you are in that much of a hurry, why are you not walking up the left?

The idiot in his badly modified part rat look/part stickerbombed/part matt panelled non type r very old shape civic that nearly rear ended my mum's MG ZR at the London Colney r/bout earlier today because he was too busy fiddling with his head unit, and cranking up his tunes, to look at what was going on in front of him

After narrowly avoiding hitting her car, followed the obligatory revving of engine and noise from badly fitting jap cannon exhaust to try and instigate a race off at the lights When the lights finally turned green he stalled the car

Also the dozy bint driving a white BMW 1 series soft top with the reg G3EAL fudged with black caps to read G BEAL, who seems to think that a green traffic light means you stop / stay staionary and that a red light means you don't stop but just keep going

The knob who rear ended me today made me think "knob". Luckily no damage, hence why I only thought "knob" and not "steaming bleeding bubbling ".

And the tt at work who suggested I should have developed a sore back and got some £££. Bellend.

description of said tt at work required such as 'stupid' 'ignorant' 'ttish' or 'what have you ?'

[anonymous-user]

Yeah, he followed me in the kitchen, shut the door and started saying how only the slightest knock can set it off and the docs can't prove it, easy money etc. I told him that's the reason my insurance goes up every year rather than down. He looked at me like I was stupid.
