A few pic's from the local town stuff Facebook page, posted yesterday. They are nice because of the scenery, not just the sheep. Though that ram does look pretty impressive.... and pleased with his work.

That slight wobbly twang you can feel in a tub of original Swarfega...

Drivers that overtake you in a flurry of revs then completely fluff the gearchange with a satisfyingly loud graunching sound.

Or have to stop, almost immediately, at a red light 🤣

Allsprings Drive, Great Harwood, Lancs, looking towards Pendle Hill.

Finding an old Whitworth spanner in my tool box that fits most of the nuts on a 1975 Raleigh that I've just bought.

Or when they find out the reason you slowed down is there's an artic turning in your direction and it'll swing wide to make the turn. They then have to reverse out of the way.

My personal favourite is when they come thundering past you down a road blocked for roadworks and then are confronted by a barrier with a gap just wide enough for bikes and pedestrians.

As they seem to travel in groups in these situations, you then get three or four (usually large) cars all trying to turn around in the available space and insisting the others get out of their way so they can get back out first.

This is what happens when an irresponsible object meets an inconsiderate force

A light that turns on when I press the button. A tap that dispenses water when I turn it. Hot or cold. No software updates required. No WiFi connection required. It's been working that way for decades.

This guy is TOO much of a 'knob/Jobsworth' for my liking, but "damn" I admire his tenacity !

Trivial fine (when it shouldn't have been), for hitting him - You Tuber 'Tim Dawson's comments resonated....

There's something really wrong with our legal system when this person is fined just £90 for ramming you with his car
whilst on the wrong side of the road.
Should at the very least be points and a massive fine. £90 is not a deterrent.
In my opinion he'll do it again, but not when you are standing there!!

But thread title, "trivial things that please you" (B.A.E) is for the Mercedes driver/dick that had a BAD day - (avoidable, too)

Just heard the commentator on the radio pronounce Racing 92 "Rassing 92". It reminded me of this.
