Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I have Blur's Parklife stuck in my head. It's going round and round and round... all thanks to the Russell Brand Twitter thing, which I have found very funny.

But it's so catchy I just can't get rid of it. And even though I love Blur this is a major earworm problem.

You need to play it on a device to get it out of your head

People who drive with fog lights on at night........ When it not foggy. I think it should be 3 points and £200 fine. They obviously know they are doing it as they don't turn on automatically!!!

I don't get why people get so annoyed about fog lights. They're not that bright and don't cause any more glare than dipped headlights

If you're sat behind 'em in towns they're a pain in the ar5e, especially at traffic lights, (similar to muppets who sit witheir foot on the brakes!)

Wtf is that all about?

Gets transmission slack so isn't the same as a brake. Also causes wear shifting in and out. Spose you could stick it in neutral and use the handbrake but who's gonna do that? They're supposed to be easier. And no one is taught to do that.

I've tried that. I've also tried listening to 'This is a Low' as I thought the shopping forecast references would clear it but to no avail. I'm going to see Damon Albarn at the Royal Albert Hall next weekend, maybe that will help.

What do you do in a geared car then, stick it in neutral and put your foot on the brake?
