People that post excessively on forums.
Hit 5000 and you need to give yourself and everyone else a break 🖐️

Think we are all sad. No wonder I don't have any friends....

Following on from the above: Chelsea tractor drivers who refuse to give sufficient room on country lanes, basically driving in the centre of the road. If I'm going in the gutter to pass you then so are you, I've even recently played chicken with them to force them over into the gutter, they have 4 wheel drive I don't.

Why do cars get bigger and bigger with each incarnation, have we become a nation of tubbies, I certainly haven't. Saw an old Mini yesterday and it looked tiny, but adults can still fit in them.

Yep, I live in Chelsea tractor Tom land.

While on the subject of enlarged cars, the new Mini Countryman. It's bigger than my Alfa Sportwagon, shouldn't it be called a Maxi?

BMW have milked the great name to death. Sheesh!

They certainly have, PP, that Countryman is one fugly car. Some cars should stay small as bigger incarnations just don't work, e.g. Mini, Fiat 500. The Mini I saw the other day was an original Countryman, fantastic cars original Mini's Why do we need bigger?

Couldn't agree more. Years ago I owned a 1977 Mini 1275GT, with the Clubman interior and front end. Lovely car.

Here's a pic of a pre BMW Mini. Very special.

Picture 1 is a bus route, albeit you're more likely to see Haley's comet than a bus...

This is a screenshot of our high street. All the pavements are also very narrow.

Eurovision AKA Eurotat, why do they invite countries outside of Europe? Allegedly, Australia are participating. Really?

Narrow? Don't be silly!

Southern end of our village, road is just wide enough for a tractor. I live in the close that the first turning on the right leads to.

People who talk all the way through concerts!!! Just had 3 guys talk all the way through the Dan Patlansky concert at The Globe. Arrggghhhh!!!!!

Ironically Dan released an album years ago called 'Dear Silence Thieves'. It was dedicated to a South African folk singer who walked off stage as two people in the crowd wouldn't stop talking. He referred to them as the 'Silence Thieves'. Anyway, these blabbermouths should all be tortured and shot.

Yappy dogs. Might have said this before, but I hate them with a passion...

 

[plastic penguin]

Yep, our immediate neighbour has 3 Jack Russells. Even though she has a high fence they yap their heads off everytime someone walks past.

Love dogs in the main, except noisey Russells.

I'm a six footer but every ruddy time I go to a gig there's always at least one person who's six foot fifteen sitting right in front of me.

If you are ever going to walk past our bungalow, you'd better put your earplugs in!

One of her little basket weavers tried to bite me. It's a real psycho.
