Two things I loathe and detest about drivers.
Those who refuse or don't think to use any sort of lights during fog, sleet, drizzle, dusk, whatever.
And those assholes who drive down the road indicating to turn off, so you feel safe cross the road - but they've merely forgot to cancel the ****ing thing from their last manoeuvre <grr>
Three (3) times I've had narrow squeaks from blue rinsers, mainly, doing that <yikes>
Drivers think just because it's daytime they don't need their lights on, but when it was chucking it down like today you should always turn them on. Drivers that don't cancel their indicators are annoying too, was stuck behind when for 4 minutes with him/her indicating left, I just wanted to beep my horn to let them know lol.

Or who think it's OK to drive on sidelights when it's pouring with rain!!!! <doh>
 
+1 for me on those that don't turn their lights on in the rain.

The use of mobiles in the car is getting scary. It's illegal here in Aus as I'm sure it is by now in UK too but people can't help themselves. Especially gen Y females and younger. I see it all the time. Only a matter of time before female insurance premiums catch up with the boys.
 
I know most of you guys are in Norfolk but in addition to all your points as a regular on the M1 - middle lane hogs!
Also the lunatics who will weave and undertake and then cut other drivers up to get into a nonexistent gap. Seriously I value my life even if you don't yours!
And finally, I don't drive excessively fast but those of you who drive well under the limit only to accelerate on the only bits of the road to prevent anyone then overtaking you. Slow is not always safe, excessively slow causes other drivers to do stupid things out of frustration. If a truck is overtaking you! Apply a bit of right foot you tosser!

Bah!

P.s. aren't we a bunch of little road ragers!

I'm off to the pub in 5 to watch the fa cup match with a bunch of Derby fans, where are we ?......East Midlands! ..........and no doubt a bunch of plastics too!

Bah!
 
I'm just pissed off that of 16 cup ties this weekend, BBC opt / get to show the ManUre and Chelsea games - both of who are on satellite TV virtually every week anyway <doh>
What a brilliant opportunity missed to showcase somebody else, just for once... unless BT Sport snaffled all the best ones and left the perceived dross to the Beeb <laugh>

Same point I bitched about in the last round. Like ref decisions. Nothing ever F**king changes.

Unfortunately, nothing changes. Sky/BBC think we want to see Chelski/Citeh/ManUre etc.
I'd like to see Col U on TV - if only to wipe the grin off 'columike7'!!!! Failing that, MK Dons.

Watching Jamie and Jimmys end of pier thing. Watched the last season. Was decent. I love Jamie. The most interesting is the sections they travel and find out about things. I'm sure they have talked before about Supermarkets and "bent Veg" I've heard this from Hugh Fernley, Heston etc. It didn't work last time, so it's not going to change.

I get so angry. Grow your own Veg, like we do. all veg is bent, or mishapen. you never get straight veg.

Would you pull out of your own ground a Carrot that was a bit bent at the end, and throw it in the bin?!
 
I really don't understand.The tons and tons of veg, that get shredded and used as compost, because they arn't straight enough for supermarkets. Yet there are people in the world starving. Makes me feel really sick.

And yet, knowing how detrimental the meat industry is for general health and the environment (local and global), you still eat it.
