I know this makes me sound like one of the Grumpy Old Men, but then, as I am unashamedly one of them, I might as well say it. As you are driving thro' town along comes the boy racer, top down or windows wide open, with the kind of throbbing disco music at 140 decibels which makes my blood boil (seriously, discos do that to me). I long to jump out of my car, or equally if on foot, grab the keys from the ignition and drop them down the nearest gulley, at the same time asking them if :
1) They realise that I, and many others, do not wish to hear their nauseous music and they should have the volume at a more reasonable level and the windows shut
and
2) They realise that they'll be deaf by the time they're 40 if they keep it at that volume
There! That's got that off my chest.

They drive me absolutely crackers Tim. I dont understand why they have to do it. I think it is to compensate for their rather small apendages!
If I had my way the police would impound their cars!

That's got that off my chest. I agree, even though i am around the same age, its ridiculous. |

Saw one recently which had a sticker in the back window saying "Yes, I do think I own the road". Charming.

Totally agree, however, these aren't usually "boy racers" Firstly they like to travel Sloooowww so that you suffer the inane drum and bass far more, and secondly all that ICE takes a lot of power from their engines.
But yep, dickheads the lot of them. I travel around with Elgar at full volume!!!

Agreed. My Rolls Silver Cloud wouldn't be the same without Sir Edward. I saw a new £20 note the other day (we have those down here) - no Sir Ed. A travesty. I shall write to lloyd George.

apparently, Elgar was chosen originally as his moustache was difficult for the forgers, but everybody has a shelf life, and eventually the forgers can do a face even with a big mouser. So hence the change. But why a bloody Scot?  ? |

I was up in sweaty land recently, and the bastards pissed me off no end. Wouldn't take English money in bars, I had to go to a cashpoint to get some of their crappy notes. Don't know who they think they are up there, but Hadrian's Wall is starting to seem like a good idea again!
