It is a photoshop I can see the pixels. The BMW one with the 'fake BMW's' was my favourite ever though. |

Entirely OT, I first heard the expression "Bavarian Masturbation Wagon" the other day. Some aggrieved chap posting in the comments section on The Register was bemoaning the ghastly driving skills of all BMW drivers, and I came close to taking offence. I'm doing my bit to rehabilitate the reputation of BMW drivers (by always letting people out, being courteous, not tailgating people etc), but it's an uphill struggle. There're just too may of them to be able to make a dent in their overwhelming crapness with my small acts of gentlemanry. |

I best remember the polo one, where EU guidelines decided that it was wrong to sell sweets with a hole in them so from now on polos would be supplied with the missing plugs from the holes. A year or two later though they did start to market 'polo holes' or whatever they were called - tiny little cylindrical mints that fit into a Polo's hole. |

Quote: Is this true? I no u w/ moderon technology can make sphagetti from grains but does it also grow on trees? It explains why it is always the same length, even from brands around the world since the origin of the length is when it was grown on trees. I mean oranges grow on trees, but dont look like trees, thats pretty weird so it dont surprise me that sphagetti does to!! i also aint never seen an orange tree either lol 'I mean, oranges grow on trees, but don't look like trees...'

I was sarcastically applauded by a Mercedes driver yesterday because I rushed past him and pulled back in front of him in front of a red light. Clearly to most people that would seem to be bad driving. I normally wouldn't do it. However, I found myself in the wrong lane, with the other lane being full of traffic bumper to bumper, in a slow rolling roadblock going towards the red light, with Mr. Merc in front. So, rather than signal and hope someone lets me in, I decided to power it up to the front of the queue and pull in front of him. I didn't cut him up or anything, made sure it was all safe. But the twunt still applauded me and shouted names at me, and then proceeded to aggressively tailgate me for the next 2 miles. |

Reminds me, need to get bike going this month. |

Christ, the BBC have just caught wind of Rick-rolling and are now reporting on it as if it's a new thing, when actually it's been kicking around for aaaaages. |

Yes, about half of North West Tonight last night was dedicated to it, because Rick Astley was from up north somewhere. They managed all this coverage despite it being painfully obvious that, other than knowing who Rick Astley was, none of the studio presenters had the faintest idea what it was they were talking about. |
