People who turn their fog lights on at 70mph on the motorway. Fog lights are supposed to only be used in conditions of seriously reduced visibility. If visibility is seriously reduced why the f*** are you doing 70mph!

. . because the law says they can ?

Does the law says you can drive at 70 when you can't see where you are going or say use your fog lights when you can see far enough to drive at 70?

ps: Highway code gives the advice that Seriously Reduced Visibility is less than 100m.

Slowing down to 55 to go through a tunnel. W@nkers.

NHS consultant at Broomfield hospital knee disorders Department who think they are being clever by saying change your job rather than actually sorting out the issue with the person who has come to them to get it fixed

Oooo, that's a bit sweeping. You make it sound as if medicine is an exact science and there is a treatment on the shelf so sort out every complaint. How about if it is the job that is causing the issue?

Not as bad as when I went to the doctor after being knocked off complaining about severe back pain. Doc just told me it's because I'm fat.

It's not because I'm fat it's because I WAS HIT BY A FICKING CAR!!!

Same as when I went because I was vomiting uncontrollably, "it's because you're overweight" is it ****! Does it happen to other fat people? No.

Needless to say, I've changed doctor and she is now investigating both issues. Because that's her job.

I know this is a sore subject because you have inside knowledge through your wife but people have different experiences and unfortunately despite all the training and education, there are still those who are **** at their job.

Is this your knee? So just standing up in your job role for a lot of the time working on vehicles is not the right thing to be doing for your legs? Am I over simplifying? What actions in your job can seriously cause you problems...assuming it's your knee of cause!

My gripe of the day, weather forecasters can't get a single day right unless it's today it seems...not great when you're planning day trips out with the kids whilst having a couple weeks off work....

Maybe if you were lighter you would have hit the ground softer.
