I would be worried about them lounging around in dresses.

"couple of young guys lounging, in jeans (as you do").

Prefect, I'm getting a bit worried about you Westies. That sort of thing is unheard of in genteel, sophisticated, Ellerslie :eek:

864668 2010-03-07 09:34:00 I gave up watching the news a couple of years ago. As you say, it's not very interesting hearing about nonsensical rubbish that's happening locally. If a nuclear war broke out it would run 2nd to a rugby player with a split fingernail. With the "news" they actually reported last time I watched it, they could have had the whole shooting match finished in 10 minutes & put the Simpsons on for the other 50. Phil B (648)
864669 2010-03-08 19:36:00 Yes I get annoyed with lots of news that does not show things correctly.

Eg in the NZ Herald they had drawings of the proposed changes to the right-hand rule. They made it look they were official drawings and that it was coming in.

Well the government (Stephen Joyce says they are looking at it). So why produce detailed drawings, some people may think that is the new rule and start applying it now !

I could list hundreds of such cases if only I could remember them.

864670 2010-03-08 22:21:00 If some people applied a rule at intersections, it might be a giant leap forward from their "see no traffic, hear no traffic, ignore all traffic" current methods.

Having just given way to a people mover while I was part way through a roundabout, I am a bit anti intersections, vans, and Pacific Island Large Layabouts just at the moment. My fault, I forgot I had washed the car.

864671 2010-03-08 22:38:00 I am not sure about other people but every time I see a people mover I feel like ramming them. Same feeling when I see a vehicle with Jesus saves or baby onboard sticker I get the urge to plant pedal to metal and ram them.
Anyone else feel the same way or am I just a nutter?

864672 2010-03-08 22:48:00 Was there ever any doubt about you being nuts?

864674 2010-03-09 04:42:00 I'd love to ram people that can't make up their minds at intersections & roundabouts. It drives me nuts when people wait for it to be clear from hear to the south island before they move. They seem to do this at roundabouts, why are people so afraid of them? The other extreme is when they make no attempt to stop at junctions & to hell with anyone, go anyway.
Remember, manoeuvre, indicate (optional) then look:waughh:
