I know I called myself captain slow Afew posts back but on my commute to Padstow I'm doing maybe 45 to 50 on the 50, 60 on the duel carriageway, had a speed awareness course years back and it sunk in

Years ago when I did mine we were told that something like 97% of road fatalities occur in 20/30 zones. For the most part dual carriageways are perfectly safe to do 80+ because they're pretty straight with great visibility and little in the way of hazards.

What I walked away with was, "Stick to the 20/30 limits and don't sweat the others. :p"

And people who drive 40mph everywhere just wind up all the other road users, which in itself is unsafe.
 
Games that are unreasonably difficult, make you fight through an emotional journey, a final boss sequence, a closing play area, then emotional resolution... then pull the curtain back and reveal an entirely new and ****ing difficult final area.

The single carriage way speed limits for HGV was increased from 40 to 50 as the higher limit was thought to REDUCE accidents.

Driving too slowly causes more accidents than driving too fast. This is because slow driving causes frustration with other road users and initiates unnecessary overtaking.

IMO if you are unable to average 50mph on an NSL carriage way in good weather then you are unfit to be on the road.
 
I don't like the photo I just sent to the DVLA to renew my licence but as all the issues with it were caused by my face/appearance there isn't much I do about it :p.

Join the club :p I refuse to have any photos taken these days, because, whilst I'm not Brad Pitt in the flesh, I just look soooo much worse in photos. In any photo I look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame after he had his faced kicked in. It's because the camera lies, I tell you.
 
I have been disliking inconsiderate, littering dog walkers more of late. You know, the ones that clear up after their dogs and then hoof the poo bag into a hedge.

Despicable people. You get an idea to how awful they probably are in general if they consider that to be an okay thing to do.
 
Someone that I seriously dislike, Johnny Vegas, so unfunny that I think a positive Covid test would be preferable.
Something that I dislike, cooking shows.
Someone that I abhor, Alan Carr, a simpering object that nauseates me.
Something that mildly annoys me, renting a car at a European airport, only to find that I can’t get an automatic.
Someone that I loathe, Liam Gallagher, I would applaud anyone who introduced his gormless face to a Louisville Slugger.

Yeah, they should be shot. Like actually shot.

:D. Weirdly in my younger days I always looked like a cardboard cutout regardless of whatever was happening around me. Everyone noticed and commented and this was before the curse of social media. I believe you, dark magic and lies :p.

Same. I dont really get them, especially the competition ones (ie bake off).

With dance,music etc reality/TV shows you actually get to enjoy/experience what is produced. With food ones, you never get to eat the stuff so it's literally just watching people do food preparation, which is immensely tedious even when you have the finished food to look forward to at the end.

Watching other people cook and then hearing a judge then go "mmm, yummy" and tell you if it tastes good to them or not is just odd in my opinion.

Food shows are terrible, an utter waste of time. It astounds me people consider watching someone cook sausages to be entertainment.

Celebrity chefs will be first into the pot, come the revolution.
