I concur. I find it a little ironic that we both hate shaving yet choose to shave all of our head from neck upwards.
Good point. In my case hair on my head looks as ridiculous as hair on my face though. |

The relative lack of publicity when comparing the News of the World with the Mirror regarding phone hacking. All hacking is equal but some more than others... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31712894 |

My works van I have today hasn't got a working stereo.
people driving towards and around the 'five ways' roundabout by Shaw Ridge/Asda as if it's a two lane roundabout. It isn't. It's single lane.
My van is full to the fucking gunwales, mostly with doc martins and welly boots.
(I thought the saying was 'full to the gunnels but Google says otherwise)
I'VE HAD NO BASTARD RADIO ALL DAY LONG AND I'VE BEEN ALONE WITH MY OWN THOUGHTS AND IT'S NOT A PRETTY PLACE. FUCKING BALLS!

Exactly. Its got massive white road markings making this perfectly clear. If you are too stupid to understand them, you shouldn't be driving IMO. Mind you the reverse is true on some of the smaller roundabouts, two lanes clearly marked at the give way, but no, the car 'in front' wants both of them. Where the hell do you expect me to put my car when you do that? I say 'in front' because I usually drop behind to avoid possibility of a collision! Also on the M4, the road matrix signs "Red X means lane closed". Nooooo, really.. |

That Red x thing really gets on my thruppennys. . . considering there are no overhead ganteries (spolling)on most of the M4 |

Never understood that roundabout - there are 2 lanes clearly marked on the approach from both directions on Whitehill Way, but only 1 lane to go round it. Seems pointless to me when there is room for 2 cars, why not let 2 cars use it ? |

er, are we talking about the same roundabout, the one where you can go into asda from. I'm pretty sure there is only 1 lane marked from whitehill way approach

Just checked on google maps and you are right. I could have sworn I've been cut up there a few times before, maybe thats because I'm trying to sneak up the inside over the painted bits :-)  |

There's plenty of room for two cars, I assume they marked it off because buses going round it need more room.
Anyway, the hatched area has a broken line around it, so technically you can use it as a lane if it's safe to do so.

Liberal interpretation of rule 130: If the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so.

What if there is a load of cars queued up towards Mead Way but the hatched area was empty and you need to turn right? Technically I'm doing my bit to ease congestion.
Other times it's just fun to undertake Royal Mail vans.

1) Ticket-master booking fees - I understand they are a business but they are turning into a serious rip off!
2) Trying to get through to the actual ticket office within the club shop
3) Mothers that dress their child up as Christian Grey from 50 shades for world book day!!! YOUVE CLEARLY DONE IT FOR MEDIA ATTENTION!
4) The fact I'm on maternity leave therefore missing world book day and the only day of the year it's acceptable for me to dress up at Katniss from the hunger games in public!
