The Halifax 'radio show' ads

The pinnacle of tragedy - they should all be thoroughly ashamed and embarrassed. And what cheap drugs were the ad execs on when they thought the 'storylines' up: a man with a bin on his head calling from a space station, a huge gong, and an air-borne horn

I leave the shop, red faced (without bag) waving receipt in the air

Shirley if you were able to leave the shop without a bag, you either

a) didn't need one (and therefore reduced needless bag consumption); or
were a Crackerjack series champion (god I'm showing my age there... )

Annoying kids who both logon to the same COD server and work together to obtain a tactical nuke and end the game early. Basically ruining it for everyone else.

Equally annoying are the abusers. I don't use a headset so I can't talk back to them but I've been called a lot of names. I've also had threats like, "if I met you I'd beat the sh*t out of you"... I really wanted to meet him.

Go to a Multiplay i-Series LAN event and meet them...stereotypes have never been so close to reality on such a large scale. You would probably feel sorry for them as they rush off to phone their Mum whilst 2 mates quickly log on to the Multiplay forums to whine to the admins...

Aaarrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [breath] hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Drivers on the M1 - particularly the 4 lane section. It's the same every fricking time I drive on there - two/three lanes of dicks dicking about around the 60/70 lepton mark - spread out across the outer two/three lanes, and the first/first and second lane(s) completely empty. Does it occur to these utterly vacant idiots, that perhaps they should modify their lane - when a bright orange sports car goes whooshing past on their left-hand side? Nooooooooooooo - let's carry on trundling along, and ensure all lanes are well and truly clogged up. Stupid fuckers Undertaking seems to be the only way of getting anywhere on the M1 PS Sorry for language - but the idiocy of so many individuals, even when proven that they are causing a nuisance, is sooo breathtakingly amazing and frustrating Yes yes, people dying of starvation all over the world...

Being of a certain vintage, i'll be off to google Crackerjack to see WTF that is! And the bag was required, I re-use them for packed lunches my tree-hugging friend

Yes yes, people dying of starvation all over the world...

However irritating middle and outer lane hogs are, one thing I will not do is undertake....

In my 100k+ miles on the A1 over the past 6 years I have seen too many accidents caused my pricks in the bavarian barges charging up the inside lane as a car shuffles back into the inside lane being rear ended and pushed into the hard shoulder and on two occasions a stationary vehicle on the hard shoulder and one where the car was spun into the middle lane taking out two other cars (I would like to hope there were no fatalities - but I really would not count on it).

Yes they should have had a better look in their mirrors maybe..... BUT if you check your nearside mirror and see a gap then you should have the right to then pull across into it rather than having to weigh up whether you are being undertaken. I have also been overtaken when doing well past the 70 lepton mark on the central reservation on a motorway by a barge - there really are days when I wished I had joined the police!

I know this is very critical YorB.... Please do not take offence - but for me undertakers just exacerbate the issue of lane hogs. I just drive up behind them and flash my lights (and this is permitted in te highway code so long as they aren't making reasonable progress) and stick my left hand indicator on twice. They normally get the point.

There's a line of thought that says that you should never be able to be undertaken if you return to the left after overtaking like you are supposed to.

I am the first to move back to the left hand lane, but often will end up in a line of cars trying to get past a HGV in the left hand lane and some prick decides top charge up the left hand lane to queue jump.

What amuses me more than anything is that I can drive up the A1 with Matrix signs stating "Keep Left Unless Overtaking" and the right-hand lane hogs just carry on regardless on otherwise clear road.

[Zoobeef]

The above makes me wonder if they think what i'm doing is stupid by going from lane 1 to lane 3 to overtake and then back accross to lane 1 again infront of them. I have spoken to people befor. And i must say its middle aged upwards that believe a variety of things, some being that lane 1 is lorrys only. Another that lane 1 is under 70mph, lane 2 70mph and lane 3 over 70mph. Then some just wont listen when you try and explain things

If I have to watch or listen to that 'We Buy Any Car' advert once more I may implode! Some adverts are annoying and can be put up with.... but that god dam jingle actually has me muting the telly!

[iceman]

Re-'middle lanes' I am quite fanatical about lane etiquette but must admit to being more than upset by being 'boxed-in' by cars charging up the middle lane and upon seeing a hazard up ahead that will guarantee seeing me moving over to the middle lane to over-take, will sit next to me purely just to block me in. Whether or not it is to see what power i have at my disposal or to vex me i don't know but sometimes i feel that taking the legal laned route is asking for trouble.

One of the guys in my office has it as his mobile ringtone. I put a pint glass half filled with water on his desk this afternoon whilst he was out with a note on it saying "If I hear that ringtone once more..... The phone gets it!"
