Melvyn Bragg.

Why is he still on the radio? Self appointed champion of the north and all things northern. He's doing a grand job of making it dull and boring. His mouth opens, the skies darken and the satanic mills start churning.

And he is doing a grand job of it.

Agent Bragg is ensuring you southern softies keep well away. If you knew what we pay for our beer, houses etc. And that there are 1000s of miles of wonderful roads, fantastic scenery. All on my doorstep. You lot would be up here like rats up a drainpipe. Complaining the beer wasn't flat. Inflating house prices and making the shops sell shoes when there's nought wrong with a good set of clogs.

Drivers on the school run - The standard of driving is just pants.

Whinge, whine, whine, moan... I guess misery really does love company. If it smells, looks, behaves differently or just occupies the space we want to be in then let the hating begin.

Yesterday a guy came into the office and started a rant about road hogging, uninsured, law breaking cyclists oblivious to the fact that two out of three people in the office ride... within the law and with liability insurance... and those bl**** motorcyclists... Eventually he was talked around to a moderate stance of all it takes is a bit of patience... Breathe and relax. :lol


Right thread this time...

PS. This thread and all of its petty nonsense really is good for a laugh.

Drivers (mostly older women) who look straight at you as you approach on a motorbike, and then still pull out in front of you.

There's a BMW 3 series driver near my work that is a cheeky barsteward. They've been parking in an electric charging bay and throwing the cable under the car and walking off...

I want to do something about it but I don't know what, I'm tempted to throw the charging cable on the bonnet and walk off but I'd prefer the car to get taken away by the council.

What should I do?
