    I think you should report it. It’s probably the tip of the iceberg. I’ve even heard that some people literally put their gps into the car and drive around in order to get KOMs and segments.

    Am I the only one who finds it strange that someones sexuality is news?

    I think you could be.

    But immediately a bad father for breaking up a family …. yes

    How many families are broken yet still married under some misconception that a section of society puts upon them that leaving is wrong?
    Sounds like religious claptrap to me.

    So he’s just destoyed three lives directly, with a fallout for many others… but that’s OK… 8O.

    I think that a society that demands that families should stay together, when they would be better off apart for whatever reason, is destroying far more lives.

    “I feel it’s hardly an issue worthy of comment because why shouldn’t a player come out and say that they’re gay?”

    I agree in most of this. But why should they feel that they have to come out and say that they’re gay to anyone other than immediate family?
    It just brings sexual orientation to the table when it’s not needed, in my opinion.
    Hint: you don’t have to be (insert the cause of your choice) to champion equality.

    TBH, unless there’s a specific reason for driving, I’d be looking at the train fron Chester to Euston. A little over 2 hours and only about £30,00.

    I prefer to make turkey burgers, done right they taste as nice if not nicer than beef.

    That’s why I’ve got cranberry sauce in the cupboard. I’ve been looking at it for months wondering why I’d bought it.

    If you’re doing CAD work, then surely it’s not too hard to draw up your own?

    Maybe the OP has the CAD but would like a bit of atristic originality that a designer is supposed to have, I’m not talking about the sort of designer that brings out the same old, same old (videos and graphic designer jokes and thinks that they’re funny).
    Just a thought.

    Dair-y leave his car in another farmer’s carpark after this episode? I suspect not.

    I guess I’m surprised in this day and age that people are unable to communicate, especially when they have business to deal with.
    I manage to pay quickly and or communicate.
    Priorities I suppose.
    I’ve got a guy coming today to collect another item who had bid on this item and I could shift both, which would be nice.

    The problem with G-Shocks is the straps are always too chunky and inflexible and if you try to mod them to accept Nato straps they just look all wrong

    Had my G-shock for years and it’s much lighter & more comfortable than my Apeks (as mentioned above). Chunky is most definitely an adjective I’d not use to describe the G-shock strap, infexible- possibly, but that doesn’t detract from comfort. I can forget that I’m wearing the G-shock, my Seikos, on the other hand, weigh a ton.

    What’s reasonable for Kenwoods?
    What’s reasonable for you?
    What’s reasonable for the tennants?
    Who is the most important?

    Don’t get any of these.

    Get on to the farmer as he’ll be able to claim through his insurance, the insurance has for third parties that are part of a commercial operation.
    Otherwise I’d look at it as any other form of vandalism, especially as he didn’t keep his cows safe.

    Always use a bean to cup at home and ar work. Bought a Krups Nespresso for the camper. Small and compact. Was pleasantly surprised at how good a mug it makes. The capsules were very cheap in France so brought a few boxes back.

    I used to have coffee sent over from France because it was better than UK coffee for the same brand. It’d be interesting to see if this applies to the Krups too.

    More to the point, given I get no personal advantage, how can I possibly be being selfish?

    Because selfishness is not always about personal advantage, it’s also not showing consideration for others but that personal gain could simply be
    pleasure.
    Anyway, you keep on doing what you do and as long as you’re happy doing it, who are we to complain?

    Blocking free flowing traffic to satisfy your own interperation of the Highway Code and agenda is incredibly selfish, to then try and justify it by ignoring other codes is plain ridiculous.
    Follow the Highway Code and encourage the people who don’t merge correctly at the pinch point to do so. Don’t take things into your own hands and try and justify it.
    The number of people who drive nose to tail refusing to allow someone to merge as the Highweay Code dictates, these are the ones whjo need your holier than thou lectures, not the people who are being penalised by poor driving and drivers.
    If these people allowed others to merge correctly, you wouldn’t have to become your own little police force.
    Ad hom? Where’s the ad hom? Drivers who drive inconsiderately are selfish. If you put yourself into this category of driver…

    What if there is nowhere to pull over and let other traffic past? I should speed up?

    Short answer, yes. Or reconsider your ability to drive safely.

    should I also speed up because I don’t need to drive that slowly?

    Yes,if conditions permit and you’re slowing traffic down, I don’t see you having the self awareness to pull over and let other traffic pass. But I’m sure you’ll have some bizarre justification for doing so.
    Are people really trying to defend poor driving.
    This is an incredibly eye opening thread and it’s interesting to see how blind people are at their poor driving and the selfishness when interpreting the Highway Code.
    Tartan rug sales must be doing well.
    To both the defenders of this selfish act, I ask your views on middle lane hoggers.

    I can have a discussion with Nick because he says “I think you’re wrong because…” then I can say “I think you’re wrong because…”. There’s a difference between you and him.

    That probably sounded good in your head.
    I’m oot as I think you’re a simple troll.

    Be sure and tell me if I’ve misunderstood.

    You’re using the any information for your own end and rejecting anything else. It’s the Highway Code and I’m doing nothing wrong, it’s the same Highway Code and I choose to ignore because it doesn’t suit my argument.

    but the way it’s worded to me

    That says it all.

    captainsasquatch

    So I’m not sure which bit of that I’m wrong about.

    Code 133 where your lane changing causes another road user to change speed.
    A liitle bit of 138 as you move into the overtaking lane and refuse to overtake a bit of 167 where your “overtaking” causes another road user to swerve or slow down and, of course, 169 where your slow moving vehicle is holdingh up others.
    You still haven’t told me why you think you have the authority to do this or which other areas in life you behave like this.
    Selfish drivers take many forms and the selfrighteous are probably the worst as they are unable to learn.

    Anywhere with a high proportion of BMWs, Audi A4s and above or Range Rovers.

    But I guess it’s a matter of personal opinion.

    Which is perfect and we should be grateful that we’re allowed to have differing opinions.
    What I don’t understand is why you think you have the authority to lay down a “law” that you have invented by pulling out and blocking traffic that is otherwise moving freely.
    Are there any other situations that you will do your own thing because you believe it to be right?

    Totally get it. Just don’t get why you should be able to jump ahead of people who don’t.

    So what have new subscribers done to warrant receiving a ltd edition 100th issue T-shirt?

    I don’t get that, I’m afraid..
    You’ve convinced me. I won’t be subscribing as a show of loyalty to the complainers. That has to be a win-win. :?

    Does anything say ‘I am a ****’ quite like..
    Doing a power wheelie past the cops

    Driving on as if nothing had happened would be a fair old contender though.

    If a quick flash of brake light isn’t enough of a message, I then slow down to a safer speed.
    I have to confess to tailgating though, usually to people who think it’s ok to pull out rigth in front of me. 8O

    I had a woman pull out in front of me a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t move into the overtaking lane and she merged right in front of me, then brake tested me while gesturing her disapproval. Work that one out.

    Caernarfon is spectacular and you’ve got Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech ( personal favourite) within striking distance.
    Depending on the direction you come from you could also include either Flint or Castell Dinas Bran.

    Yes. That’s appalling language from a “so called” lady.
