Guinea-Pigs that haven't got a clue...Originally posted by Pogle View PostI thought that was due to the compression of the signal and not a deliberate attempt to increase the volume
Compression of the signal? What? The data is digitally encoded.

Good list - apart from the last one. I feel nuts sometimes stopping at traffic light, as my carrying on would have no impact on the other traffic at all.Originally posted by wobbegong View Post1. Umbrellas (always at eye level).
2. People who buy 'personal' plates for their car!! "BUG" on a beatle, "BOX" on a Boxter etc.
3. People in supermarkets who stop for a chat or to shriek at their grubby kids at the end of an aisle, with their trolley across it.
4. Rude/indifferent shop assistants. (if it wasn't for customers, you'd be out of a job).
5. Traffic lights that don't have a repeater on the other side of the junction so you have to bend your neck to see the lights you're parked underneath.
6. Cyclists that go through red lights.

That's a pet hate of mine, clearly they don't have a clue about the speed limits in this country. It's not like they are cautious, 50% over the speed limit in a built up area is dangerous.Originally posted by Scary View PostPeople (usually oldies) who drive at 45 on an NSL A road, then carry on at 45 through a 30mph limit village (although nowadays most villages have a scamera)...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.”Comment

- Use of the phrase 'in this space'
- Allowing my boyf to use my car, forcing me to walk to the train station each day
- People who sit in first class on the train without the appropriate ticket and then complain when told to move by the guard
- The lack of mobile signal on the Brighton main line, rendering my Vodafone 3G mobile broadband contract an expensive waste of money

Happens all the time in our village.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostThat's a pet hate of mine, clearly they don't have a clue about the speed limits in this country. It's not like they are cautious, 50% over the speed limit in a built up area is dangerous.
30 mph limit through the heart of the village, then NSL past the last house down the hill for 2 miles.
Yet, I've followed the "One Speed Only" merchant who does 40mph through all zones.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
