Questions you'd like answering, regardless of how trivial they may seem

Why is it that when you indicate and pull out to overtake people start to speed up? It's as if you've affronted their manhood and called them a mincing fairy, but after you've put your foot down and pulled in front of them they go back to their original speed like they're admitting defeat.

The worst ones are the ones who do it under average speed cameras, there you are with your cruise control set to 50mph approaching someone who you can easily pass, but as soon as you pull out they speed up to match you so you can't go past, then when you pull back in they slow down, line the lot of them up against the wall.

I saw an article about this from a psycologist
His view was that in some cases it is just people being dumb

but often if you pass someone at a speed that is only slightly above their speed then they have a psycological reaction and spped up to match you speed
unless they are watching their speed carefully

but it is damn annoying

Is Ray Winstone a luvvy? I know he always plays the hard man and speaks with that cockney, gravel voiced accent, but I'm sure I've seen him wearing a cravat and a boutonnière in his jacket lapel, while speaking with a luvvy accent, similar to Jacob Rees-Mogg's posh accent. 🤔

He's the daddy.

Is Ray Winstone a luvvy?

He's an ex-boxer who took up acting to meet girls. He accidentally got his big break in SCUM when he accompanied a friend to an audition. The casting director noticed his boxer's walk and hired him instead.

This bloke gets told he looks like footballer Wayne Rooney, then he mentions Ray Winstone. He does look a bit like him, But more like Wayne Rooney I'd say. He also looks like a fellow scouser who lives near me.

I assume everyone who likes, comments and shares that guys content is also as blind as a bat because he looks nothing like either of them.

Does anything interesting happen in the video? I watched about a minute until he started filming some random alley and the limited interest I'd had until then evaporated.

I like those type of videos. They are so educational. Maybe if you had a concentration span of more than a minute you might've learnt something.

There's no need to be rude about it.

But to further myself, I flicked through a bit more of the video to see what I could learn. It looks like standard "isn't Britain terrible" clickbait stuff to be honest.

If you think those type of videos are "so educational", you must have missed out on an awful lot of your schooling.

They are mainly clickbait.
