    The lowlife who get a pet (for birthday etc) show it off to all the neighbourhood, a year on it's gone. You never get to know what happened to it. Then it's replacement appears.
    I'd like to snub the lowlife but can't ignore this new little soul.

    What's with exhaust pipes the size of dustbins you can hear a mile away and that BOOM BOOM BOOM coming from the boot :eek: :mad:
    Copper would have nicked me as a kid for a "pin hole" in the silencer :(

    Letting off steam - road closures that ain't (M20 slip road)and hot spots like Brands Hatch A1 with no alternative routes for through or local traffic.

    All I wanted to do was cook my elderly mother sunday lunch and restock her freezer - sadly twas not to be. Hit stationary traffic that was going nowhere - so went down the "closed" M20 link - and returned home. (still fizzing.)

    Have you ever noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac !

    People who have a dog and keep it locked up in a small room all day while they are at work.

    Dalbuie, that's as bad as people who change their baby's nappy whilst parked in a car park or side of the road and leave the rolled up dirty nappy on the ground.
    :eek:

    You've brought back memories Dalbuie. I used to live opposite a school. Once a week i'd sweep the curb (mine and neighbours either side).Then some folks parked waiting for the kids to come out would spend the time clearing out the ashtray ect and empty it in the curb.
    I did this for the thirty years i lived there.

    People (no names but someone close to me) who wait for you to find something beautiful, quirky or unusual to photograph and then they take a similar shot with their superior camera.
