Things you'd like to say, but can't

Listen you silly cow it is a 'kin hood, the clue is in the title, hood not hat... it even shows pictures of various sized small people wearing various sizes of the HOOD again not a hat it is not supposed to fit snug like a hat cos it is a hood. You have just admitted your child has small head for their age so of course it will be larger on them why did you not check before you ordered if you knew they had a small head??

*******

Yes of course the pulled pork is bland it is because you won't allow seasoning or bbq sauce or anything else on it so it is for your benefit we have had "meat and taters" for weeks now cos you are in a strop as you have caught several colds, sorry they are wedges they are like baked potatoes, scrape the bloody middle out then

Two women on the other side of the asile did not appreciate the morning commute is "me" time not "us" time

Would the Road Haulage Association care to comment on the fact that 99.9% of HGVs going through the M1 road works at Sheffield are travelling at 60mph in the 50mph limit, in the centre lane, tailgating, and flashing headlights to force vehicles out of their way?

Good call. I drove through those roadworks 10 times last week, generally with my cruise control set at 53mph (so a real world 49 / 50) and had several wagons getting very close to my back bumper. If you're in the middle lane it's a real problem - vehicles in the inside lane prevent you pulling over and the average speed cameras prevent you speeding up to get out of the way.

This maybe ties in with an observation ive made over the last year or so...
Trucks are generally governed to 55mph, whether by law or economics (fuel economy) i don't know. What i see so much now is trucks generally doing 60 and occasionally a bit more.
Is it that fewer trucks are governed, that drivers are more prepared to speed, or companies have relaxed the point at which theyre governed. Perhaps the economics of getting there faster overrides the extra fuel consumption.

"Snide, mean-spirited and a bit rich, coming from you!"

Reading a leaflet on the subject does not make you an expert love!
You're old enough to be my daughter...what life experience is it you have, exactly?
Talk to me like that again and I WILL wipe the floor with you, you condescending cow!

[Here's the context ... I was out on my bike this afternoon, riding up a hill just beyond a local primary school. It was a few minutes before the children came out. I heard squeals of excitement from a young girl ahead of me. I looked up and saw that she was balanced on her dad's shoulders, with her legs dangling in front of his chest. He had a firm grip of her ankles.

The thing that really worried me was that he was running full tilt down the hill towards the school, presumably to meet (an) older child/children. His foot caught the edge of an uneven paving slab and he staggered forwards, almost losing his balance and face-planting his tiny daughter onto the pavement from an effective height of about 8 feet! ]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo - PLEASE don't do that!

I saw a parent with a child on his shoulders trotting through the pedestrian underpass linking South Kensington tube station with the Science Museum. There wasn't enough headroom.

Child's tears were abundant.

Yikes!

I've just remembered another dodgy thing I witnessed on that ride ... A mother with a young child in the car and its folded-up buggy on the shelf below the rear window. Any sudden braking or impact would potentially have resulted in the buggy flying through the air and colliding with the back of the child's or mother's head.

I toyed with the idea of saying something to the driver when I was stationary beside the car at a t-junction, but such interventions in the past did not go well so I usually keep quiet these days!

Never mind a sugar tax - all you need is a set of scales in the foyer of the supermarket.

Anyone more than X% overweight has to pay double for any junk they buy*



*Ok, I'll allow for 'medical' exemptions...

Then skinny people will just become dealers. Fat people will be desperate to have a crack head as a mate.

Think it will be a Mucky D head

Come on FFS you dopey nobber and get this trailer unloaded so I can get back on the road.
I was after all severely stitched up yesterday when I volunteered for this shift on condition that it was an 8am start for a quick run to Edinburgh and back, meaning I would be home to watch the rugby final.
So WTF am I currently sitting in Inverness, only half unloaded after nearly an hour, and with at least a 4 hour drive ahead to get home??
Then you'll be wondering why I don't volunteer to do a Saturday shift again.
