Random Irritations

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I often go past people sitting in lanes 2,3 or 4 when I'm in lanes 1,2 or 3. I won't have changed lane to do so, but the lane I am in will be flowing faster.. If that means being in the inside lane and doing around 60 or 70, and they are sat in lane 3 doing 50 tough on them.
I won't weave between lanes, but have no fear about passing people on their inside because they are too stupid to read the road and use the lanes correctly.

Problem is that some of these drivers will have poor traffic and road awareness and might decide to change into an inside lane without much care as you are passing on his inside. I may be the most diligent and intelligent driver on earth but I cannot read the minds of others, and so I try to avoid ever doing anything that another driver might not expect or spot.

Continually being asked here if I want 'push notifications' (whatever they are) even though I keep responding 'never ask me again'

It is not illegal.
There’s no specific law against undertaking, or overtaking a car on its left-hand side, on the motorway or on a dual carriageway.
It is only advised against in the Highway Code, which states:
“Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake.”
“In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right.
“In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right.

You do know what Billysboots used to do for a living? I think that’s why he framed his statement as “technically illegal” whilst undertaking at speed might not be illegal, dangerous or careless driving is….

The new Range Rover advert, apparently it is ‘designed to intrigue’. If the strapline is designed to annoy, the it’s doing a good job.

The obsession with crispy chips.

Fries should be crispy. Proper chips shouldn’t.

Bits or scraps to give them their proper name, mixed with a tub of curry sauce. Mmmmmmmmmm

Yesss. Lunch pretty much every day at secondary school - chip cob and batter bits from the Golden Fry.

Good call. She really grinds my gears.

Dental hygienists. New one today and by far the least unpleasant I've had - still not nice. They are all the same though and work bottom teeth side to side, top teeth side to side...phew thinks I we're done. But no they go back over some teeth and then again I think we're done and they do a random few more for the 2nd or 3rd time. At this point it's like I've got tourettes and all I can hear in my head is my voice shouting "STOP for crying out loud"...

Work on each tooth once please and then let me escape.

I would agree if not for the fact my dental hygienist is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. If she knocked all my teeth out with a brick I’d still thank her. She can do no wrong.

I would say the only time 2nd and 3rd Lane hoggers move to an inner lane is because they are on top of the exit they want to use. Occaisonally they realise their error and move closer to the hard shoulder as a result of me passing them on an empty lane on their inside, but that is a rare occurance.

As opposed to your dental hygienist who really grinds your teeth, in a way.

Don’t ever watch any progs Riley is on so no idea why the lass might irritate.

Google her ongoing issue with Michael Rosen. Plus if anyone criticises her or Israel, they’re an antisemite in her eyes. She’s disgusting.

Far too much American News on TV. How many Brits are interested?
