Now, I am only going to reply once...

Guilty as charged, I think this is the correct thing to do, i.e. indicate the direction in which you wish to move your vehicle.....always, because you just never know what the other driver is going to do. I have seen drivers overtake 5-6 cars at once, but really I suppose it is a courtesy thing.

you're absolutely right,road safety is key here.

Peoples selfishness in the workplace, I am there to do a job just like you, respect my time as much as you respect yours.

Ridiculous...many's a day I've overtaken big beemers and mercs in my old banger as they crawl behind the Guardia Civil at 90 on a motorway where you can do 120kph!

The other day I had the Guardia Civil behind me on a secondary road so I kept it at 80. Then I turned off that onto my road which has a 60 limit and they followed me.

I was in a decent car and it was a real effort to keep it at 60 so after a few hundred yards I went at 75/80 and decided that if they stopped me I'd just hold my hands up and say it's impossible to go that slow on a straight road with perfect visibility, no ditches even to block your view.

I turned in home and they sped off ahead probably annoyed some eejit was going so slowly in front of them.

I'm from the sticks and the opposite of that is ridiculous speed limits of 80/100 km on narrow, curvy, dark roads where you'd have to have a death wish to go at that speed. Add in the very real threat of sheep wandering (some of them love having a snooze on dangerous bends) and you really would want to be high to go that fast!

This reminds me of a time when I was getting my legs waxed. The woman was in her 50's and was the salon owner, so you'd think she would have a bit of cop on. At one stage she asked me if I'd lost a lot of weight recently. No said I, very confused. "Oh" she says, "it's just that you have a lot of stretch marks". Wtf? I'd never noticed it before but apparently I have stretch marks around my knees. Luckily I'm not the sensitive type and didn't take it to heart but what type of beautician points out flaws when a client is at their most vulnerable? Surely they're supposed to make you feel better, not worse about yourself?

Totally agree, I was in England last week and driving on some country roads. The are windy with high ditches but the limit is 50mph. I was doing 30-35mph and I remember thinking that 50mph would be nearly impossible as you couldn't see more than 60-70 yards at any point and if you met another car or a pedestrian or cyclist going at 50mph it wouldn't end well.

Yes. I hope whatever has her away is extremely trivially annoying indeed, and she gives it both barrels on her return, as only she can! :cool: :pac::pac::pac:

I got a vision of someone getting a "downstairs" wax, toppling the bed, going out a window, landing in the middle of Grafton St on a sat afternoon, and getting arrested for busking.

I was just up in the bath, doorbell rings. Next thing I can hear my mam directing someone up the stairs and outside the bathroom door.

Knock knock.
'Yes?'
'Hi its your wedding car driver, your mam said I could just come up and talk to you through the door'

WTF??

I'm not sure that qualifies as trivial. What on earth was she thinking?

The fact that I can't take coffee without sugar BUT I don't particularly like my coffee with sugar either.

I used to take a teaspoon and a half until I realised it was too sweet.
So I went down to one teaspoon and still found it too sweet.
So today I put a half a teaspoon in and now it's just bland.

I don't know what to do.

And yes I could just stop drinking coffee but I like a cup now and again.
So there is no solution!
I always want my coffee to taste how walking past a Bewley's café smelled.

Wrong. There's always cake. Just substitute a wedge of cake or a bun along with your coffee instead of having sugar in your coffee:D

Agree. Not the most relaxing of baths, I imagine, with someone standing outside the door talking to you. :eek:
This wasn't on your wedding day, I hope.

The "I'll get my coat" bit boils my blood.

No he just called to make sure he had the right house and ask who was coming in the car with me on Saturday.

He didnt even sound awkward, he was talking to me like this was perfectly normal!
'Right so, ill leave you to your bath and see you on the day.'
'Grand!'

Using the term war chest when a football manager is going to get a considerable sum to invest in new players.

As the summer transfer system kicks off the use of the term is in overdrive.

Well if he's the driver it'll be him, won't it?

People turning off the heating in work (fair enough, it's not cold) but by doing so, switching of the hot water also leaving us with no hot water for hand washing or washing up our cups at tea time,etc. It's simple, turn off the radiators put keep the water heating function switched on.
