That is why I want a psycho on board sticker when I drive. They cannot moan if they have an accident after tailgating me.

Heather, I was taught that a five second burst of the horn was the minimum required to make other road users change their focus and react from the manoeuvre they were about to carry out and the potential accident they were about to proceed into. This was suggested by the chairman (at the time) of the IAM and the Inspector in charge of the Grampian Police (Traffic Division). I always sound my horn if I even get a sniff that they are going to pull out from the junction and cross my path - eye contact is everything. I have to say that I neither drive differently or expect any extra consideration by road users when displaying the BoB sign Finally tombolt, can I just say that if you ever 'drive up my arse' whether I'm displaying a BoB sign or not, you should be aware there are a number of tactics I will employ which will ensure that it's not me that will end up being 'wound up'.

I actually don't drive up people's arses as it happens, but you'd have to have some pretty decent brakes and tyres for your tricks to worry me if I did!

2nd screw up trying to install home server after cocking up the password the first time, this time I disabled the only account that had log in permissions, the other account I had just made had neither local nor remote log on credentials so was totally useless

The new OIM is a [LIFTED] twat. He's decided service hands are scum and we don't deserve wifi access, so he's changed the password. No there's eight of us having to shared one wired PC rather than accessing our works emails on our own PC's. I thought this "us and them" attitude had died out. Clearly I was wrong.

You could go for "Large blunt instrument in door pocket" I'd have more respect for "baby on board" drivers if they didn't drive like complete cocks themselves. BTW what is with "little princess onboard"? Shouldn't that just read "spoilt brat in the back"?

The 'small person on board' ones are worse. what the hell is that supposed to mean? Is it a child or is the driver only 5'4"? I'm thinking of getting one that just says 'No persons on board', that'll [LIFTED] with people's heads. Jon

Braking would not be one of my 'tricks' but just to make you aware I have: EBC 800c GD Front/Rear Disks & Yellowstuff pads RBF600 Fluid Goodridge Hoses Michelin Sport 3 tyres ..... and probably Koni FSD Shocks & Eibach Springs on the front from next month (if I can get permission from her indoors).

3 rants being 18 and a getting my license in april, cant afford a car or insurance, for this month my mum tried to get insurance on her car (the same car I learnt and passed in) for 1 month, £400, FOR A MONTH??
second rant, my bike is the only method of transport thats relatively free, somehow on a road I always take to the next village, about 5 miles away. I hear a twang as im cycling. think nothing of it when I stop I realise I've broken 2 spokes and buckled the back wheel, the ride did become very wobbly like I had a flat tyre so I thought little of it. However I still had to bike home, at 11:30pm, along the A38 the wobbling became worryingly large and I didn't trust top gears.
so, along a cycle path on the A38 theres places for lorrys/cars to park. so coming along and SLAM on the brakes as some [LIFTED] of a lorry driver decided to literally park all accross the cycle path, meaning I had the difficult choice of walking through nettles, with shorts on, or go onto the A38 in the wrong direction. I took the nettles, and then rang the police, first time Ive ever done this and I probably only did this as I well still miffed about my wheel.
When I got back home, looked at my back wheel, boom, 9 spokes broken
that was one hell of a disappointing day.

And? Join the queue of people unhappy at the price of their car insurance to add my gf for 1 month cost the same as a full year on my old policy, it's pretty much a dark art until you find something that works and go with it Car insurance is more now you passed as there doesn't have to be an experienced driver in the car with you at all times ProfessorF: Me too, just seen some pretty viscious road rage outside the office window when a kid cut up some old man, old man (and wife) got out (leaving kids in the back seat, windows down to get a prime view) and he proceeded to loudly and agressively tell the man he would remove his manhood with his own hands.

Nice. I'm running standard discs, fluid and hoses, with Brembo four pot calipers, Ferodo DS Performance pads and Bridgestone RE050A tyres. Coincidentally, I'm also saving up for FSD shocks, but I won't be going for the springs as I don't want it any lower!

Have you found a tower suitable for sniping from?
