Wheeled cases.
Not the huge jobs that Essex totty take their entire wardrobe to Ibiza in, but the nancy-boy things that fully-grown men, perfectly capable of carrying insist on wheeling their laptops and shirts in around airports, offices, etc etc

The Spanish HGV Git, that tried to overtake me and 3 others in front of me and realised he wasnt going to make it so he swung in front of me forcing me to brake hard to create the gap he needed to pull in. I managed to eventualy managed to floor my car and get in front of him, knowing most HGVs have over 20 gears, I then slowed down, then up and down.making him change gears many times. Why is it you never see a Copper when you need one. This was on the A17, where there have been 13 fatals already this year, and then they wonder why.:mad: What did they used to call HGV drivers? "Knight of the road?".:rolleyes:

Jim, there is a moment that the speedo needle on some bit of two wheeled machinery goes past certain speeds that still cheers me up.
I also still get a buzz with certain machines running--the collection's 1904 Aurora, 1903 Marot Gardon or 1900 Singer--so it's not all about speed.
As to people, I have trouble with so many groups, categories and genders that it's much easier to say that I have a very select group of chums who tolerate me and me them.
As to the so called modern world--you can stuff it.

Pig ignorant pikeys zooming down the crowded pavement even when the road is nearly empty, people similarly glued to their mobiles and expecting other people to get out of their way because what they're doing is, like, soooo important, people just dropping cans and bottles without even trying to look for a bin. Oh yes, and bloody "Gavin from Autoglass" Sick of hearing him.

I fear this may be ineffective though Jim, as many LGV's (not mine!) have auto boxes. So all you've really done is make your Spanish friend exercise his right ankle a touch more I'm afraid...

The things that really get "Up my ..." are
1) People rustling crisp packet etc, that noise really gets to me
2) Rich people and companies avoiding taxes and big bonuses for failing
3) Government and MPS telling us how to lead our lives whilst they do the opposite.
4)Adverts like Go-compare,No-No, etc
5) The claim culture "yes you have had a accident live with it, we used to"
6) PPI adverts nobody needs these companies to help them, they can do it themselves.

We go to Morrisons, as my son is able to give us a family discount card, also, it's not bad for shopping in. Why is it my wife takes about an hour shopping, when I can do the same shopping in a lot less than that?.;)

If you really can't drink from a bottle without dribbling the contents then I guess they are perfectly suited to you.
Personally I gave up drinking from bottles with teats on round about 1952 and I am not planning on returning to them for many years yet.

Why don't they give as much publicity to HMS HOOD, there were many more survivors on the Titanic, yet Titanic gets all the attention.
