People who do that really don't seem to understand what the problem is. No point flashing lights at them and all that shit, they're on another planet. Anyone who has driven abroad frequently and then returned to the UK and driven over here will realise that British drivers, in general, aren't that bad and are a hell of lot more patient and courteous than in Scandinavia from my experience (the Danes are the worst, tailgating extremely closely on a motorway at 130km/h) but the sheer volume of traffic over here makes it a pain in the arse. I took the coach to London yesterday and it was painful. Moped drivers in London seem to be suicidal too.
Agree with this, I now much prefer driving in the UK. People over here in Luxembourg seem to be in a rush ALL the time, yesterday I was behind a Belgian guy who was DESPERATE to get passed a motorist in front of him, tailgating him really fast and then slamming on the brakes in a bid to get him to speed up and generally driving like a bellend. Less than a minute ahead there was a piece of dual carriageway so no idea what was going through his head. - Apart from Chocolate, beer and small children probably.

I don't but would be interested to find out. I often undertake middle-laners, at 70 on empty motorways. None of that swerving lanes and dangerous speed stuff, but I see no reason why I should traverse all three lanes to get past them and their irritating misuse of the motorway.
I do it, don't know the official line on it mind. Thing is, the drivers doing the hogging get pissed off if you do it. its great.

I don’t think that missing a few meals will hurt him that much by the looks of him.

My summer holiday is fast approaching:
Glastonbury for 6 days, back home for a few hours then flying to Cancun. Stopping off in New York for a few days on the way back.
Fingers crossed that I bag the big contract that's on offer in Cologne for when I return. That will be the icing on the cake

What the hell is going on in NYC? I'm more likely to go to the Jorvik Centre in the near future!
Saying that, looking forward to my Gothenburg/Copenhagen honeymoon in August.

Quote from the Highway Code: '264 You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear.' So, if no-one is in the inside lane, I can stay in it.

After a night of broken sleep (thanks to my two wonderful daughters) I've been awake since 5.30am, left for work at 6.15am, worked all day then came home to work on the bastard cunting website that wouldn't cunting work. After many hours of jiggery pokery I got the bloody thing to do exactly as it should and can finally stop working at 9.30pm. I rewarded myself with a jig of joy around the kitchen when I finally had the eureka moment. This will be further enjoyed by a weekend on the razz in London for my future brother-in-law's stag weekend, starting at midday tomorrow.

Got an interview for a job on £10k a year more than the current one - I have 3 weeks to right a 10 minute presentation - will have to make sure it is a bloody good one. Nail this and I can start coming to matches again!
