I think the insurance doesn't give a toss about a woman driving 1 mile every week to her hairdresser or a man cruising with his hairdresser the land up and down all day. They are just interested in how likely it is statistically that the driver will cause an accident... 45051[/snapback] So if I drove 140 miles a day, don't you think I'd statistically be more likely to be involved in an accident that my mother who drives 3 miles to get to work? 45060[/snapback] Yes. And you should pay more insurance for this reason is the argument I think So basically, male sex is a surrogate indicator of distance travelled. This will all probably change with big brother technology however, which I suppose is fair enough.

I decided to revert to using the Metro today to try and calm my growing feeling of road rage. The thing broke down and I was stuck on it for over 2 hours! Bastards! How the fuck are you supposed to get into work nowadays?

I thought you were Craig. I don't know anyone personally on here, as far as I am aware. My wife says she posts very occasionally but I don't even know her user name...

Its a myth that Ferguson didn't do well at ManU from the off, it really is. It took him about 4 years to actually win something, but iirc he got them to 2nd in the league in their second year. Not too shabby considering the mess they were in when he inherited them (this topic has been debated before). Anyway, I still find it utterly laughable that anyone can look at Ferguson's record and seriously try and draw any comparison with Souness. Seriously, even Alistair Campbell wouldn't try and get away with that much spin.

I'm not sure if Shearergol is being serious about his women driver comments or not. I get a feeling he is, and I completely disagree with him if this is the case. Anyway, I've never equated making jokes about the driving abilities of either sex, or any other characteristic for that matter, to be in the same ball park as jokes or generalisations based on race. But what I do find interesting is that insurance companies can descriminate against me because I'm a man. I guess that would back the fact that on average women actually are better, or at least safer, drivers than men, but its a bit of a sexist generalisation, isn't it?

Women doing their makeup in a traffic queue is another one of my hates. Pay attention you stupid bint!

Good point - not sure! But then again, it's not like you haven't got any is it? 44619[/snapback] This isn't on like Craig. Get yourself down to Bill Upsall's and get me my trophy. Already having a few isn't placating me, if I had one arm I'd still like another. 44851[/snapback] What if you already had two though? I'm not sure the benefits would outweigh the social stigma personally.

What exactly are you studying, you thick shite? 44836[/snapback] History & Politics at Sheffield Uni Currently reading the Communist Manifesto for tomorrow's seminar, woop de doo! 44837[/snapback] Another burger flipper to be. 44840[/snapback] He's not even that bright tbh. 44844[/snapback] Hygiene technician then, aka cleaner.

Yeah, probably. But every time I started getting angry that Iwas still awake I put Amelie or the Radio on. I watched Amelie once and then half of it again with the commentary so that's 3 of the 5 hours I was actually in the bed, without counting the radio time. Dunno how much radio I heard, but apparently Sydney's new Tunnel hasn't gone down very well at all and the Red Sox haven't done well getting to the world series. I've been looking for sleep tips on the web. Apparently you : *Shouldn't go to bed until tired - a good excuse for staying up half the night. *Should get up at the same time every day irrespective of bed-time. *Should get out of bed if you've lay for more than 10 minutes without dropping off. Do something else until you feel tired. *Shouldn't do owt in bed but sleep or screw - looks like I'll have to have a wank in the sitting room from now on. 44815[/snapback] Good advice that, but I think its fine to wank in bed. It tires you out at night and wakes you up in the morning. At least that's what I found in my single days, it's a bit more difficult now, needless to say.

Most people greatly underestimate the time they sleep - chances are you had some sleep last night without realising it. As for the music being food stuff, well, that's just a sign of insanity I'm afraid.

Is Alex virtual?

Aye, only an idiot would play it for more than two minutes.

I'll let you off because that was in Wales, but if you are suggesting people should short cut throgh slip roads as part of their daily commute..... Bastard! Why don't we all do it, and create complete gridlock in the process?

Roll on Saturday when there's some footy to talk about tbh. Souness in/out/shake it all about.

Wash in animal spunk? Are you sure?

I've even seen people driving up the slip roads when it's really busy, and down the other side to push in. Bastards, these people deserve death!

I'm not at all slow, but I'm obviously too considerate. Thing is, if more people were less selfish it would benefit all of us.

Now I've started driving to work because I can no longer face the metro, I'm becoming stressed about what complete and utter selfish BASTARDS other drivers are! Anyway, its not doing my blood pressure any good. So what pisses you most off about other people's driving? For me it's the following top 3. 1) People who change lanes to get ahead in the queue. You selfish wankers! Every morning you see them on the Coast road/Cradlewell bypass/Jesmond road, weaving in and out the traffic queue, to make up a few seconds. There's alway some mug that lets them in, otherwise they force themselves in. The result? Even more delays for the rest of us. 2) People who stop on box junctions. Do you know how to fucking drive, you crettin? Admittedly, it's easy to do, but come on, some people are serial offenders, and they end up causing more chaos for other drivers and pedestrians alike. 3) People tailgating me. Fuck of and die you aresholes! Do you realise if I need to do an emergency stop you will rear end me, you bastards? I swear to God I'm going to add some 6 foot spikes to my rear bumper. But then if you leave too much space, some wanker will nick in and steal your space, see point one. Ahh, that's better, needed to get that off my chest. Anybody got any other pet hates, or, more importantly, anyone do any of the above?

This thread has been going in one form or another since the internet was invented. Racism, the PC brigade, and sexy lasses seem to be the most popular topics.....

I get the impression LM would be most happy living in Victorian times to be honest. FWIW I despair at the increasing levels of antisocial behaviour and violence we are seeing in soceity, but I'm honest enough to say I don't know what the solution is. I'm pretty sure its somewhere between sending them on Safari or making them eat shit though.

It's a possiblity I suppose.

I don't know like, have you seen the one on the left? Cuckoo...cuckoo! 44724[/snapback] Beady rat like eyes. Serve them right if someone does a little bit hacking of their own on their rear ends and leaves them with a nasty virus. 44727[/snapback] Divine retribution? There would be a sense of ironic justice to that I suppose.

And then, just when they think it is all over, they should get the shit kicked out of them.
