All you'll never need is an SD Card reader. Ever.

If that's out in the country, then there's a reason for that.

I agree with the middle-lane hogs, twats that stop right in doorways (using a laden trolley to ram people that stop in the doorway of Birmingham airport is a great laff - try it sometime)

I'm not aggressive - I wouldn't hurt a fly. I suppose that's the point.

Just needed somewhere to vent...

There's another - groups of people who block the entire width of pavements whilst walking, oblivious to faster walkers trying to pass them.

I meant "many" men, not "most" or "all".

Some of my best friends are exclusively heterosexual men. Indeed, almost all of my friends are.

Not for me - I've tried this, and when I attempt to delete any files, the computer says: "No! The disk is write-protected!", even though it isn't :evil:

Buses pulling out of the bus lane in order to overtake other buses. If they're passing an obstacle like a car that shouldn't be there, fair enough, but otherwise, if we're not allowed to use their lanes they should stay out of ours.

That Fantastic Four got a sequel. Probably one of the most disappointing movies I've ever laid my eyes on. Hell, I grew up loving FF, so this movie was a major kick in the nuts.

Vader's "NOOOOO!" at the endo ROTS. In general I liked the movie, but that was just...bad.

The norwegian customs limit of £17. If it costs a penny more, they add another £12. Argh!

Phew! That felt good :)
Yeah but at least with FF we are getting to see Silver surfer now that has got to be worth the duff 1st movie ;)
I thought the first FF movie was alright...not stellar, just alright. Tough to make a movie with four (or in that case five) primary characters and make it well.

When I saw the trailer for FF2 last week I was thinking, "Cooooooooool!" the whole time. Silver Surfer vs Fantastic Four on the big screen. I am so there.

Sharing a bedroom with my brother.

I like my bedroom. I love my bedroom. It has my stuff in it. Where I put it. It smells nice.

I actually do that on purpose, so that buses can get past me. Who do thing you are, some Mr. Special everyone needs to give extra-wide clearance to? I've been nearly run over too many times as a pedestrian or been hold up by some bastard cycling up a really busy A road.

There are psychotic car drivers and suicidal pedestrians, sure, but there is something about pedalling that really brings the worst out of people. Maybe that is those lycra shorts squeezing you bollocks or that self-righteous 'I am greener and better than anybody else' shite they are full of. Does the cycling make you too Jesus-like so you can ignore all the rest of the highway code or just plain to fail to see what the fuck you are doing to the rest of the road users?

And do not get me wrong, I cycled everywhere until I was 25 and came to live in this country. At least in Finland people still do not think a bicycle is something that the normal laws and common sense do not apply to.

In Denmark we are taught to do exactly that - to prevent cyclists from being run over when the light turns green and the car makes a right turn (left turn in the uk I guess).
Makes sense to me...

The Fantastic Four having the acronym FF and getting me all excited ;)

Lorries that spend half an hour overtaking each other only for the overtaken to pull straight out and spend another half an hour overtaking the one that just overtook.

Yeah that pisses me off too. If an overtaking manoeuvre is going to take 5 minutes and block both lanes of a 2-lane dual carriageway just *don't fucking bother*.
Justified and Ancient.

According to the "driving rules", in Italy, "the overtake manoeuvre has to
be done as quick as possible and only if it's not creating any obstacle/danger
for the traffic of the other veichles".

I think we have some laws in Italy that also says that lorries of a certain
size (that have a speed limit I think 80/100) can't overtake each other
at all, an overtake that takes 5 mins is "insane" and can well be
classified as "dangerous driving" that is fined and takes down points from your license.

Of course "there's never a policeman when it should be necessary" :wink:

People who insist on walking right in the middle of the pavement, and not budging an inch.

Always happens when I'm carrying a bloody big heavy bag of litter for the bunny in my arms too :evil:

Ah, yes. The single person group of pavement blockers.
