Normally yeah but I've been working late this week and it's been chippy and chinese every night and it gets a bit sickening.

It was chicken in a cheese sauce - it looked nice but the cheese sauce tastes strangely similar to their chicken soup - and as for the  "chicken" - well about 5% of it may have been chicken at some stage.

I need a cook.



and another one - bus drivers, my God some of them are on a power trip!

Women with kids...
Do they really think they have more of a right to everything and don't have to abide by certain rules of the roads or even common manners because they have kids?

Why do they have to drop them off right at the school gates? I know when i was a kid from the age of 7 onwards i either walked,cycled or when i went to secondary school i got the bus.

Nowadays they are dropped right off at the gate by their parents or if they are getting a bus they will pull up at the side of the road and the kids won't get out of car until the bus comes,Usually this is a small country road and they park the car in such a way that only one car can get pass at a time,Would it be too much to ask to let the child out and let them wait for the Bus? If their cold give them a f**king coat,if its raining give them a Umbrella but don't be blocking the road on everyone else...
Fair enough if the child is in Primary school but most of the ones I see are secondary school kids

Also would it be too much to ask to indicate when pulling into a space at the school or god forbid even indicate when pulling out???
You blow the car horn at them and they give you a look as if to say."I'm a mother with kids I don't have to indicate,park legally and i can pull out into oncoming traffic if i want because I am mother with kids!"

What about taxi drivers, who can stop any place and time in the middle of the road put hazzards on and wait - why because they are taxi drivers?  What about delivery lorries who can stop any place and time in the middle of the road put hazzards on and wait - why because they are delivery lorries?  What about the vast majority of people who think indicator lights are for show and never use them at roundabouts.  What about people who sit at 60 in the overtaking lane - causing people to undertake as they have no road sense.  What about young people speeding in estates and around schools?  What about people who insist on smoking, being on the phone, drinking, eating when driving - all of which are distractions? What about people who park in reserved spaces because they are too lazy or selfish to walk a few yards?  What about people who drive with no insurance, no tax, no driving licences - there is a hell of a lot worse on the road than a few women rushing to get the kids to schooll.

Ah right so - obviously sensable logic holds no sway on this thread.

Went to the shop for some milk this morning. The girl toul me that they didn't have any because the delivery lorry couldn't get parked and didn't want to block a lane of traffic, so it fucked off. That really grinds my gears.

Guy I knew had to run out on the street and literally stop the traffic because his wife was in labour and he couldn't get pass a delivery lorry blocking his lane on his way to hospital!  That really would grind your gears.

You sure it was a lorry blocking the road? Maybe it was a yummy mummy in her big off roader dropping her kids off to school?

If he couldn't get past the lorry, why did he stop the traffic?

Sorry didn't realise i needed to spell it out - there was a big lorry delivering drink to a pub, it was parked outside facing down the wrong way  with the "hazzards on" so and here is the science bit - to get pass - he had to stop oncoming traffic on the other side so he could get round, as he was blocked in from behind by other poor sods trying to use the road in a legal manner - understand now?
