    They're ignorant, mad bastards in Greece. There I was displaying a huge amount of courtesy and giving them that nice friendly wave where you just hold your hand up for a second. They were tootin' and waving fists back at me. Christ knows what they're like if someone gets a bit aggressive or offensive.

      I had some of the most interesting driving experiences ever in Greece. One time we got lost on a long windy mountain road (one of those ones with little graves where people have had fatal accidents all along it) for about ½ an hour in the pitch black. When we finally made it back to civilisation and streetlights I went over a huge pothole making a horrendous noise then an owl flew into the windscreen. I’ll never forget it

        People not respecting ones personal space. I had someone brush past me the other day when I was queuing in a shop, and to add insult to injury when queuing behind me, brushed me again with his newspaper! Aaaarggg!!! I wanted to line him up against the wall and give him a jolly good talking to.

          You should have turned to him and said "Hmm I feel horny"
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                Good one. You could of course extend that to students paying for anything anywhere...can of coke and a packet of matches - on the card of course

                  Makes me think of a Paul Calf sketch about a ****in’ student writing a ****in’ cheque for a bag o’ chips.

                      I'm the Dude, so that's what you call me. Or maybe His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing
