Bugs always aim for the cleanest visor they can find!

The wheels on the car waiting at the intersection start rolling just as you get to the point of no return resulting in a cosy little case of panic: "

WTF...have they seen me?...all the anchors out NOW!...feed it the fat and escape the impending doom!...swerve up on to the footpath like an old XR200" in the millisecond they're going to save by starting across the intersection as you get there intending to pull in behind and get a good tailgate going.

I hope they realise that nanosecond they saved in travel time took a year off my life

A year down the line, and have to bring this back up, because its been happening a lot....

Turning right into my road, I find that a lot of cars have the pleasure of getting a tad too close for my comfort... another pet hate is being callled hon, hun, dear by anyone that is under 70... being english I know how the english tend to do it out of habit, but in the supermarket yesterday a 30 something called me dear... oh that grinded me... keeping my mouth shut this time.. but normally I ask them how old they are, even more offensive than saying hun, hon or dear... they are gobsmacked I ask, as 9/10 are younger than me... so I inform them it is a term of endearment, and I don't know them so its best to learn not to use it, as it may offend... haha

In the south west of England, they use the term "my lover"... Could cause embarrassment

Bograt- nearly forgot! Pet hate- them fekkers that do the roads with toffee and stones! E.g between the Waiau Pa roundabout on Kingseat Rd and Glenbrook Rd this evening! 2 fekking kilos of road metal needed flushing out of me bike and fairing, and I was teetering along around 10 kph!
