Whenever I see the "Fasten your seatbelt" sign I always think this must be a fast bit of the road.Quote:

Why the **** did you eat it? Surely the description told you everything you needed to know!Quote:

Ironic thing is I ended up in front of the daft ****s anyway.
Were they Golf driving female 'executives'???Quote:

Indeed. Similar to signs on the M1 telling you there are delays at J17 on the M25 and you've no idea whether that's on your route or not.Quote:

To think of an example; Telford Road heading westbound at McDonald's restaurant -There are two lanes of traffic for most of that road, after the lights at McDonald's however, the right hand lane is specifically for cars turning right up towards Drylaw... Everyone knows this, but many see the inevitable rush hour que that happens practically every day and decide to use the quiet lane to jump further up the que then skip in front after the lights. Going eastbound is even worse because a much larger stretch of that road is clearly signed as right turn only, but that doesn't stop many from using it to skip the que
Cue the numerous comments about the apparent legality of it, but imo it's inconsiderate driving and people have every right blocking them.
People who exaggerate their complaint to make their experience sound even worse than it actually was.
And the amount of people who wrongly believe that symptoms of food poisoning must be from the last thing they actually ate.
That's bit is actually 2 lanes merging into one then back to 2 after the island.Quote:

Maybe we can introduce a navigation test for people who come from out of town before we let them drive in Edinburgh?Quote:

The fact that you're driving a German car should be enough for a bit of leeway from fellow road users, unless you're a really bad driver 😘Quote:

People who go through the red light at Niddrie Cross roads heading straight onto the Wisp when I am trying to turn Right.
The worst ones for this are when there are arrows on the road pointing ahead on both lanes, so you think you can use both, then right at the lights/junction there's another arrow that's just a right/left turn.Quote:

I'm now painting the skirting in the bedroom with a water based gloss that hopefully won't turn ****ing yellow like the last stuff I used not that long ago.
Mine is quite literally a pet peeve. Cats!
I have adopted 2 little cats this last year. I love them. They are my first ever cats. The best thing I have ever done and they bring me so much joy and happiness.
But! They destroy things! Towels, sofas, books, guitar cases, chairs, walls, beds, little red poofs, bags. This very evening one of them managed to knock a solid metal lamp that I keep on the back of my office desk, to the floor. She (Callie) pushed it for about 1.5 metres. The damn thing weighs about 5 times the cat does. How is that possible? The male cat (Ziggy) also destroyed the back of a tablet case, which I only bought today, by using it as a scratching post.
It's all good. You get a little bit of payback and great entertainment with the wonderful laser pen watching them run up the walls like Neo. :na na:
Watching a YouTube video and it starts buffering just as its getting to the good bit.
Scottish tap water. 2nd to Atlantis we must be the country with the most water on this planet but we pump it full of chemicals that make it taste like it's piped directly from the Commie Pool. Minging.
