I made it a mission to find one, and lo, a few months later, on the way back home through France, I found one on the menu at a restaurant in Chinon (Obviously an Italian rest.!)... It was nice, but not up to my (very) high expectations. Not as much wow factor as I'd hoped... Ah well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 People who think speed limits are targets and not a maximum speed limit. People who tailgate and flash as you're over taking someone. People who drive slowly but then speed up as you're overtaking them. Dean (hick) Saunders, EtoileSportiveDeDerby and rynny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not enough flavour in the cream and chocolate to overpower the pastry. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that most constabularies treat speed limits in the same manner though - the "tolerances" for receiving fines dependant on the local force are usually 10% plus 1 or 2 mph. You didn't mention motorway middle lane hoggers either, allegedly the police were having a crack down on these a few years ago to very little if any effect. Brake checking someone has been en vogue for a number of years now which is just as dangerous and annoying. Especially if the person has cut you up, you sound your horn to express your displeasure then they then brake check you to further confirm what an atrociously mannered motorist they are.

That is soooooooooooo bloody annoying! ? I remember when i discovered that as I was making sandwiches before we went hiking one morning, I was probably about 30 and just stood there looking at the bread and butter thinking, this is going to change our lives.....i showed my wife, she just shrugged and walked off... I buried her that afternoon under the patio.. (i didnt by the way) Mucker1884 and Rev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) People blowing on their fork/spoon/whatever of food before shoving it it into their gobs. it shouldn't annoy me because, I guess, there must be some sort of logic in blowing the steam away a bit. It annoys me because a) my dad used to do it and he was an irritating bar steward, b) if your food's too hot just bloody wait a bit before eating it, and c) even if it has an effect it'll be a very minor one (you're deluding yourself if you think otherwise) and certainly not enough of a pay-off for you to do something so ducking irritating, so often. Nails down a chalkboard level stuff. I like BVM but... arrrgh just bloody stop it! Edited April 8, 2021 by Coconut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 You get less tolerant as you get older. Never been concerned about driving, if someone wants to get past then fine, let em go, I don't have to drive to work so its easy for me to give way when I'm only going somewhere for leisure, shopping, visiting family etc. However, those that come up very quickly and very close behind me can absolutely duck off, I will slow down and hog the lane until they back off........their choice, ignorant bankers.

Can almost hear them cursing. Mrs ramit scolds me for doing it and i suppose i should stop it, it's just such fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be cool, it would be unpleasantly warm because of the 100 metre long ovens but no, its nothing as exciting as that. I walk to work.
