I hate people who play the NY Lottery...
Discussion
EXCESSIVELY. I dont know how it is across the pond there, but here in New York City, every time I go to pay for gas or maybe pick up a pack of gum, EVERY TIME there are always a few people 'playing the numbers'. it is bulls
t, there should be a completely separate line for that garbage with two people running the register. today I snapped a bit. All I wanted to do was pay for my damn water, and this guy i nfront me is sitting there spouting out about 50 lines of numbers to play in every goddamn combination imaginable. So i grunted something to the effect of "yes, and your gonna win too' 
Anyone else have this problem. Here in Ny it seriously wastes peoples precious time when all they want to do is pay for gas or whatever. And it gets very tiring constantly having to say, "look pal, mind if I pay for this real quick'

some fella at the petrol station in shepherds bush the other day had about 20 cards all to be run through the machine and its rush hour and theres me and a queue of 5 others waiting to pay and get going... i said to this chap "you're not going to win you know and even if you do it will only ruin your life ..." To be honest it didnt really go down too well.

No, seriously, you have opinions on a 928 and I am tempted to get one. But manuals are quite rare, so I may have to settle for an auto. What do you think?
928 is an awesome car, which I drove for c.20k miles 2001-2003. Mine was an auto S4. Very reliable and always a great sense of occasion. High mileage no problem. If buying a manual, get an early model (lighter); the later cars are definitely GTs.No, seriously, you have opinions on a 928 and I am tempted to get one.

We don't get the same problem over here in merry England - we pay ours by direct debit - in fact, it's the same for the water and electric.

Slightly off thread but, the garage near me is a small sommerfields aswell. And it pees me off when I go in to buy my petrol and there is a queue a mile long with shoppers. So frustrating that there isnt a seperate line for getting petrol.some fella at the petrol station in shepherds bush the other day had about 20 cards all to be run through the machine and its rush hour and theres me and a queue of 5 others waiting to pay and get going... i said to this chap "you're not going to win you know and even if you do it will only ruin your life ..."
