Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Red Herring]

This weather! I thought I'd cut the grass for the last time a week ago, spent the best part of a day cleaning and putting the mower to bed for the winter and the grass has only gone and grown 6" since......grrrrrrrr

The way some of the kids in our village were hurtling around off their faces on sugary Haribo I don't think taking cocaine would have been noticeably different. Just fewer cavities at the dentist.

Cage drivers that deliberately move to the middle line when they can't make any progress just to stop a motorcycle getting through city traffic...gave this particular guy today a fist full of rocket when I eventually had space to get past

[Red Herring]

Yes, but in their defence you do need a fair bit of space in order to get past.....!

[kaivalagi]

Lol, true, a little more than none would be useful though

[NTECUK]

You could fit a snow plough and with the grunt just clear a path like Moses

[kaivalagi]

Hahaha, now there's an idea for winter....we can ride year round, just put me at the front lol

Had a good ride today with another 5 rockets, those coastal towns didn't know what hit 'em I should have took some pictures, my wishlist of future mods has just increased that little bit more now...

3 cars stuck behind a bus, so I filter past on my pushbike, I move to overtake the bus & nearly get taken out by a woman who's leapfrogged these 3 cars and gone the wrong side of a traffic island to get past them

Drivers struggling with the concept of driving in the dark. Driving down a NSL unlit road, catch up to a couple of cars stuck behind someone doing 28mph. Why are they doing 28mph? Because they can't see. Why can't they see? Because at night, in the pitch black, on an unlit road, they are driving along with their dipped beam so can only see a few metres ahead. Overtake them, a few hundred meters later catch up to a couple of cars stuck behind someone doing 25mph... repeat for 15 miles. A few of them nearly got rear ended by the cars following them when they slammed on their brakes as they suddenly found themselves entering a corner they hadn't seen was coming, what do they think full beam is for if not this (and don't even mention the cars that are using their fog lights because visibility is less than 100m, because it's dark! Or the cars with one headlight or the drivers just not bothering with lights at all.)

Don't worry, they'll all speed up to about 50 when they get to a built up area with street lights, despite the limit then being 30......
