Urgh, god, you're right.
Where's the nice red gone? Bloody hell.

Biased media who decide to report irrelivant facts in a story.

Having been there today, knowing exactly what I wanted, people who amble around Ikea!

& I hate the lack of LOTS of shortcuts in IKEA stores.

Work....I'm going to quit one of these days.

Hearing that there are 1 million houses unoccupied, yet the Govmt' wants to build more on green belt land, CRAZY.

I'd like to know how many of those 1 million houses are really just immediately available for anyone to live in, and how many others are just vacant for a few days between contracts being exchanged, or are beyond economic repair. And what about second homes, are they counted? If so, there's a whole moral issue to be discussed before we let the homeless live in those.

This story was highlighted on c4 'The Great British Property Scandal' if you wish to watch it on i-player.

People who just walk accross a Zebra Crossing without even looking first.
They think it is their God forsaken right for us to do an emergency stop & smash our heads off the steering wheel.
F**kers!!
That has happened to me twice in a week. The next one is going under the wheels. Pirate

When it takes two IT companies three days to fix my bollocking printer at work

F**k a duck

It's not rocket science

It's what's called 'scratitude' and can frequently be seen demonstrated by the pond dwellers that inhabit the lower reaches of our society.

Even without a zebra crossing.

Actually, I'm starting to get more annoyed by the opposite. I'm often quite generous with stopping at zebra crossings - and it's so annoying to gradually slow to a halt to let some old lady totter over the road, only for someone going the other way to race through like a t**t. Grrr.

Dare I say - aren't you supposed to slow to third gear when approaching traffic lights and zebras?

:O They are trying to blame over 50's for spreading 'Chlamidya' and other ISD's gosh who is responsible? Old Rocker?....

When I drove in the UK, the rule was to slow down when approaching a zebra crossing and to stop if any pedestrians were crossing or about to cross. Same rule applies in Australia. Have the rules in the UK changed? If you really detest pedestrian crossings and hate to stop for pedestrians, move to Indonesia, where drivers never stop at crossings, and when you run over and kill someone, you can generally absolve yourself by paying $2000 to the police and the victim's family.

Hire a chauffeur if you lack the patience to allow pedestrians to use pedestrian crossings.
