yeah, or coffin-dodgers who dont understand what a queue at a bus stop is and make a mad dash to get on first regardless of how long the people in front have waited.

But seriously, racism, sexism, intolerance, cruelty, abuse, bigotry, sanctimonious people, inconsideration, littering, they all get my back up.

People who don't indicate on roundabouts. If they don't know where they're fecking well going then what's the hope for the rest of us?

People who think their car is twice the width that it actually is - so that when overtaking stationary vehicles they use the entire other side of the road

Men who won't let me drive their cars onto the ramps at work. Eddie will tell you, I am the best reverser and parker in the world. EVER. It's ok, sir - your Skoda Fabia's in good hands....

nobody in hong kong can drive, NOBODY! nobody indicates, they seem to fell you have to keep jabbing the gas peddle all the way to the floor in a series of jerks, & slam the breaks on as soon as you see slight bend in the road! no body gives way, & nobody knows what to do @ a roundabout! also very VERY sexist over here, + china is the most racist place i have ever been!

one thing i cannot deal with is your day time tv shows like jeremy kyle, where the f*ck do they get the people from? 'My brother slept with my best mates dad and now there getting married'whats all that about? get a job, wash your hair, brush your teeth learn how to speak english, no the state doesn't owe you anything, stop trying to have as many babies of different race as you can and start giving something back. I can't stand those losers, they don't seem to understand that there are millions of people out there who would love a chance to make something of themselves, as opposed to making other people pay.

What gets my goat is not having subtitles on Springer. WTF is that all about? Yo punk bich is dissen yo ho? Sounds like f*cking Captain Hook. At least I can understand Ali G. EAST STAINES MASSIV......RULES. Where's me Julie?

I'm with you on the State thing too Eddie. Another thing that sh*ts me, the incessant forced patriotism at school. I tell my two if they don't want to sing the anthem, screw the teachers. They actually teach em in school to shout Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi. personally I prefer this;



Not a good recording but you get the idea of the audience participation. Also a staple in my band. Viva la f*cking revolution.

And people who can't work out roundabouts sh*t me too Annie. People who STOP on roundabouts.... shheeessshh. :evil:

There's a roundabout outside Wellington that drives me crazy. Used to be four exits, then they built an industrial estate so it became five.

Could the locals figure it out? No. There were so many accidents they had to amend the rules for the that one sodding roundabout, so now it's the outside lane for the first three exits and the inside lane for the fourth. The industrial estate is regarded as being invisible as it's only been there ten years now... bloody bumpkins!
