Pete B Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It's in Chit-Chat, so the rant doesn't HAVE to be about modelling, Dave. Plenty of other sections on the forum for that.... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting off steam is great...........Sooo.......lets continue. People, not satisfied with the length of a traffic jam ,so double it's length by leaving a 15 CAR GAP!!!!!! then creeping forward at exactly 1/2.mph slower than my car can manage in 1st gear....Listen to Grace Jones!......and "Pull up to the bumper".....Why do they do it??....Have to say...on the odd occasion, i have filled in the gap! (Goodness...it makes them cross!!) People who put an X in espresso!! and a K in etcetera!!.....Punishable by death followed by torture!!? Middle lane hoggers (Again!!).....Give 'em the highway code.

Bob Cotsford Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 car drivers who drive in the extreme right of the inside lane or extreme left of the outside lane - come on fellas, does it give you that much satisfaction to stop bikes filtering past you? They're not exactly going to slow your journey down if they do get past you. They may take some of your paint with them though if you make them squeeze past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Sorry my car is 1/2 mph slower than yours Andrew Hate riding on the brakes and clutch in a traffic jam, so I leave a decent gap and let it tick over in 1st. I still get to the front as quick as Grace Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Tech programs on TV where the presenter shows some high-tech gadget, then says "so how does it work?" ... and proceeds to tell you how to use it, not how it works. Drives me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hopkin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Drivers who use the outside lane at two lane traffic lights then pull away at 1/2 a mile an hour Drivers who use the outside lane at traffic lights but dont indicate they are turning right till they go green Boy racers/chavs in corsa's and pigot 205's who really think they can out accelerate a 3.0 240bhp Jag Drivers at roundabouts who seem to need a gap big enough for three supertankers before they will go Why as a coffee drinkers I get 1 cup in a cafe while SWMBO has a pot of tea and gets 2 cups DVD Trailers you cant fast forward through Jeremy Kyle (am I really the same species as his guests?)

GONZO Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 There's a common theme here - PEOPLE. We all dislike other people and the way they behave. We'd all be much happier as a sole inhabitant(or possibly with a few identicle clones of ourselves)on a remote island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Flyer Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 People who offer absolutely ridiculous amounts far far below what you know to be more than a fair price! being offered £60 for 2 planes that total £145!! Etc.... i give up now, no more restores for me! You put loads of time and effort into it, not to make a profit but enjoy doing it knowing someone will enjoy a model that would otherwise be skipped is great, but I have had one too many chancers. i have some lucky chap picking himself up an absolute boot load of planes and bits , engines etc at a bargain price cause I've had enough......😡 just going to buy n fly from now on. rant over 😤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Davis Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 1. There's a Co-op convenience store near my home. There is a no parking area, near the front door, hatched in yellow diagonal markings, which is supposed to stop people parking there so that delivery lorries may have access. You'd be surprised at the number of fit-looking people who park their cars in the yellow box when there is a perfectly adequate car park with maybe 100 marked spaces adjacent to the shop.! 2. People who are not disabled parking in spaces set aside for people with a disability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
