The whole carriage does not want to hear your personal details . Currently drowning her out (well trying to) with head phones. Apparently she has a migraine coming on……..

That annoys and mystifies me. Calls were always private, not public.

It's one of the things that I've noticed about English people since leaving. So many (too many) think they are so effing important that no-one else matters. IME it's these same muppets that think the gov't are watching them, because they believe their pathetic little lives warrant watching.

I thought they'd finally died out but I saw one earlier - it's the universal way of announcing that you're an arsehole without saying a word.

Not surprising as you work in places and an industry that will attract that type, especially in the last two years.

I sort of understand some of it cos being behind a van does reduce visibility a lot but if I've caught up with them in my mighty Hiace its fair to say they aint no rocketship pilot and it's likely that I just know the road better.

Some people (quite rare, thankfully) do take pet and speed up.
Maybe some of them just realise they were dawdling?

Not usually that much of an issue, depends on the road really.

But was proper BMP is people who think that, just because they have - incorrect tyres, don't know the road, are scared of snow on the road, on holiday so they are important etc etc etc, they think that it's ok to pull over the white line to prevent an overtake FFS

I mean, the car today was Belgian, and we all know about Belgian drivers!! LOL

But seriously - twice on places I could have overtaken, but wasn't looking to at the time, the guy driving the car pulled to the left and straddled the white line in his 'I'm impotenter than you are' gurt big Porche thingy (not a Cayenne, but similar sized). After a while of driving very slowly (yes, it was snowing but the roads were clear, I know them very very well and have very good winter tyres and a fair bit of winter driving experience!) I figured he'd given up with that lark

I was wrong

I indicated, pulled out and as I began to accelerate, he fucking crossed the white line to block me

Rarely do I use the horn on the minibus but I did then. He pulled back over and I completed the overtake. I had followed him for about 10kms, so I can't believe he didn't know I was there. And no, I hadn't been tailgating him - it was snowing FFS, that just ain't safe!!!

But what a complete and utter Bell-end


Not the first time It's happened to me on this road, won't be the last. Will always BMP though cos it's such a dick move and so bloody dangerous!!!

Why didn't you just go a little slower ?

Which one is prompting your ire?

No vax

I'll take a wild stab at that being a crude play on the name Novak.

Is it safe to assume that the cancelled Czech doesn't bother you? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-59910838

It turned the other cheek ?
