Person:
'Senior' Technical Manager at Land Rover Customer Service who stated that there was no way that I would be able to fit cruise control without buying a new steering wheel, wiring loom, and having the ECU reprogrammed. I hate to think what the junior guys spout to the unknowing public :shock:
Action:
1) People that, when they almost miss a turning on a roundabout just carve everybody up to get there, thather than just going round again :roll:
2) People that jump red lights :x
3) People that just stop at the side of the road. No indication. Just slam on the brakes and cause accidents :evil:
4) People that don't stop when you're trying to cross, or are actually crossing, zebra crossings. Even with a youngster in tow !!
5) People that abuse the disabled badge scheme

My personal dislikes include;
Person(s) ; the Beckhams (media overhype), any one-hit wonder (pop-stars -or what ever it's called)
TV; all soaps & the tediously dreary 'real life' garbage.
Music; practically never heard of anything on the 'charts' for the past 10years.
General dislikes; Lack of courtesy.
Bad manners
Foul language (I don't use it, I don't expect to hear it from others)
Drunks (especially at work, all self-inflicted, no sympathy whatsoever for them)
Junkies, see too many of these as well
Whilst driving;
Boy-racers (with the thumping music)
Front foglights (not even just the boy-racers now)
Rear fog-lights
Mobile phones
Lack of courtesy (when you allow traffic from side-road, pull over for downhill traffic)
Untethered ankle-biters in cars
People who mock/jeer learner drivers - we were all in that position once
BMW drivers who consider themselves superior to everyone else.
Sport;
F**tball, bunch of over-paid, over-exposed, under educated, drunken louts who for some bizzare reason are treated like 'gods' for kicking a pigs bladder around a bit of grass & advertising phones.
Darts, a sport????(oh no)
Pool, snooker; all that money for hitting a ball with a stick
Golf; don't make me laugh.
Rugby; don't understand it (dangerous ground at the moment I'm given to understand)
There that's better. :)
-
Humm - your llikes list may be shorter Richard :D :D
Anyway agree with BMW drivers :lol:
Disagree with rugby - :cry:
But still each to our own :wink:
-
Work :lol:
-
Well all I can say Richard is don't apply for a job at our place :lol:
Full of boy racers, thumping music, football fans (and rugby) who swear and drink excessive amounts of alcohol on a weekend. And spend there dinner time on there mobile phones :lol:
Arh the delights of working in a factory :lol:
-
Chris,
personal choices as you say.
Dislike F1 as well, even the BTCC looks boring this past couple of years. It was far better when John Cleland was driving (even though it was in a Vectra)
I remember the days of Sierra Cosworths & Rover Vitesse's
Andy, Pity about that, I was going to ask if there was any jobs going.
Boy-racers, f**tball, alcohol*. I Don't think I'll ask you 'officially' then.
*Haven't drunk it for over 20 years
-
must agree on the front fogs
our doblo has them and they are of no use unless its misty/foggy
another gripe i have
slow drivers! :evil:
-
Mallets Mallet, complete waste of time!
There, I've said it now.
-
Mallets Mallet, complete waste of time!
There, I've said it now.
I can agree with that one.
-
Frank.
Well said!, I knew there was something missing 'big-style' from my answer (mallets)
-
Evening folks; been away for a while now (holidays, work, etc)
Right then;
Middle lane hoggers,
outside lane hoggers (you all seem to have forgotten that one :wink: ),
front and rear fog lights at the wrong times,
Radio 1,
"The Office" - sorry, but it's just not funny,
Bad & inconsiderate drivers,
Paying bills,
Perhaps we should change the title of this thread to "Room 101"?
Chris
-
'The Office' is so, so funny :lol:
As is a new series called 'Little Britian' from the people who brought us 'A League of Gentlemen :D Starring George Doors from Shooting Stars another favourite :lol:
Paying Bills - what are they then :lol:
In patient (hope I've spelt it right, one of those funny words) people. Chill out and don't stress :D
Ex Committee members :lol: :lol: :lol:
Sport wise, Cricket (Boring)
Horse Racing (Why :?: )
And a Dirty car (have I already said that) :lol:
-
"BMW drivers who consider themselves superior to everyone else"
and I thought we were friends Richard :cry:
anyway, the Beamer is what I use to get to work on the M60 carpark; the Disco is what I drive for fun.
I particularly dislike Ford Focus and Ka drivers - irritate the hell out of me by gunning their engines, overtaking and then slowing down. Actually, _any_ driver who pulls back in after overtaking and then slows down. Using cruise control identifies these wotsits really well. Trouble is, when I overtake them, they gesticulate rudely at me, thengun-up, overtake and repeat the offence :roll:
-
Sorry Tina, I really meant the company (perk?) car set, still reminiscent of red-braces for me (Yuppies)
Ford Ka; we were talking about car in the staff sitting room the other week (as we do)
One of the Registrars has just bought a new Alfa-Romeo diesel, so one of the 'E'grades was saying she was going to test-drive a Ka.
John (Reg) & myself both said it was a 'girlie-car' so it was alright, so one of the Consultants (Tony) jumped in, we'd forgot he's got one :oops:
Tried to tell us that it's his wifes (oh yeah!)
-
People who park in disabled park bays - normally BMW or Merc owners.
People with small car who cannot park in the middle of car park bay's, normally Shelia's ( sorry Wifey )
Oh, and people who don't own up to damaging other peoples cars :evil:
-
County Councils who employ intimidation tactics to close or discourage legal byway use.
