When did the West Indies start being formally called the Windies?

I'm guilty of that and can see how it might be annoying but seemingly it formally happened in June this year!!

I like when they do that to stop folk blatantly taking the pish with cutting in.

I know that folk are meant to merge in turn but you get some folk who take the pish with it, and the lorry drivers don't usually do the old blocking the lane routine until they're close to the lane merge.

Sorry Matty don't agree especially in this instance. It was the M90 roadworks at the weekend, southbound. He was straddling the carriageways at least a mile before the merge in turn signs. He was at it and lets be honest he's causing an obstruction on a motorway. Mores the pity for him coz he was driving a Fife council lorry so very easy for someone to report him......

A mile away is taking the piss, to be fair.

I guessed it was something to do with that. I don't see how it's going to help anything though.

****ING Caravans ****ING ****ING caravans should be banned from driving between the hours of 00.01-23.59. Swedes love them everywhere in the summer all driving along pulling out in juctions round abouts etc forgetting that they have about 12m of ****ty fibre glass following after them!!!!

Showing my age but I remember them being called that in the seventies.

Websites where a capital letter automatically starts your password, when it's case sensitive. I always drop to lower case whether I need to or not but it's bloody infuriating.

Caravaner pulled out in front of me today at a roundabout. Didn't give a toss that I had to brake to miss his portable living room. What annoys me most is they are on holiday and have all the time in the world, so it's two fingers to poor old Joe who is trying to get to work on time.

I'm 100% behind you on this, at least until May 2018 when I'm due to take delivery of my brand new 8m long caravan. At that point I become a ****ing caravan ****er and look forward to pissing you off.

Not formally though. Mibbes Aye has found the article though where it says they've now changed their name.

Then you'll probably be 100% in front of me, driving 6mph looking for the perfect spot 😠

2 & Mingis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menzies


Taken from that link re the name Menzies ....
This Scottish name is traditionally pronounced, as it still is in Scotland, /ˈmɪŋᵻz/ (About this sound listen) MING-iz, since the English letter <z> was used as a substitute for the now obsolete letter <ȝ> (yogh) in the Scots language (Menȝies). However, many now do not know this, and today it is often pronounced as if it were an English word and hence it is often pronounced /ˈmɛnziːz/ MENZ-eez. A Scottish limerick plays on the traditional pronunciation:

There wis a young lassie named Menzies,
That askit her aunt whit this thenzies.
Said her aunt wi a gasp,
"Ma dear, it's a wasp,
An you're haudin the end whaur the stenzies!"

People that sit next to you on the bus when there are free seats further up the bus. Just weird.

Use of the word "starlet" to describe young untried footballers.
This word should be banned from all football discussions.
