One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4
Discussion
Our local odd job man crying on Facebook that someone broke into his van. It was an "opportunist theft" apparently. Well that and the laptop he had left on the front seat overnight 
He'd have a bit more sympathy from me if he didn't park his 2 large vans, people carrier, battered Corsa and huge twin axled caravan on the road near his house. It's a new build estate too, so not exactly abundant parking available. As evidenced by the wheelie bin he leaves in front of his house whenever he goes out to save his space. Knob ...

How much did you get for the laptop? He'd have a bit more sympathy from me if he didn't park his 2 large vans, people carrier, battered Corsa and huge twin axled caravan on the road near his house.

There was someone who used to use bins to reserve their space near somewhere I work sometimes. A bit of gentle nudging and I make it my space.

People that say “draw” when they mean “drawer” (as in cupboard drawer)
If you're curious, there's plenty of "chester draws" for sale on gumtree. https://www.gumtree.com/search?featured_filter=fal...

Gaggles of bikers using out local roads as a race track on Sunday.
Weaving in out of lanes, overtaking approaching blind bends, cutting in too close after an O/T, obviously exceeding all posted speed limits, and general fu**wittery.
Hemorroids one and all.
Yeah we had the same in one of the London suburbs as well; they were using a set of lights as the starting line and taking off around a kink and down a straight piece of road. Got so prolific the police started lying in wait just around the kink to capture them. Must have had a half-dozen police vans lined up by the end of the afternoon; I think they were confiscating the bikes.Weaving in out of lanes, overtaking approaching blind bends, cutting in too close after an O/T, obviously exceeding all posted speed limits, and general fu**wittery.

A few from my drive home today...
Knob in a Seat people carrier who blocks an ambulance on blue lights. Ambulance coming the other way catching up with a car. Car stops to let them past, but knob in the Seat in front of me slows and stops alongside the other car blocking the road...
A bit further up the road knob then carried out the slowest overtake ever of a dawdler, meaning no one else can get past for the next few miles.
Knob in a Merc who ignores the centre line on a blind bend.
Had to laugh at a Mercedes van thing which completely misjudged a slow hairpin. Nice bit of off-roading, lucky the van was already knackered...
Also, knobs who stop halfway through a narrow single file section of road, or past parked cars, to let people the other way come through. You people are f
king idiots. You might think it’s polite and you have a small gap to pull into but actually if you were to look in your mirror you’d see a queue of cars behind who have followed you who’ve got nowhere to go. Double knob points to people going the other way who ignore this and blindly head on through only to be met with gridlock. wkers.

Miraculous compared to the M25
Only a few middle lane hogs all day apart from the section where the hard shoulder was open then I was the only one using it.
Superb, well done West Midlands.

Me.
"Ring, Ring, Ring goes the telephone..."
Blast, thinks I. I'm decorating and covered in dust where I've been sanding all morning, and now I have to leg it downstairs to answer the bloody phone. Predictably, it stops ringing before I pick it up. So I dial 1471 to be told that the last call received was on July 4th, and it was me who called?
Dawn of realisation time. The ringing phone was the one in my pocket. It was the local DIY store ringing and they'd left a message. If only I'd realised it was my mobile phone ringing in the first place, I could easily have answered the blasted thing!
I'm only 48 - it's far too soon to be having a "senior moment" ffs!
