You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

Had a quick search and don’t think this has been carried over.

So I’ll start.

The Government, and every one of the lying conniving conceited corrupt sleazy incompetent member of it.

That is all.

People driving at 28mph on a road with NSL because its a bit cold… :mad:

Being told by uniformed staff that I should ignore people taking the proverbial with regards to standards od grooming and appearance because: “I’ve seen worse on an operational RAF station.”

  1. Because that’s not an excuse and if I keep hearing it I’m going to start publicly pointing and laughing at the people who say it

and

2)Because so have I actually, you haven’t got the monopoly on seeing airmen looking like an RAC patrolman on his day off due to your five minutes in the regular RAF a million years ago or the fact that you happen to be a VRT officer.

…and breath.

People who walk about with headphones in listening to music and not taking any notice of the world about them. When they’ve got them on its like they have an invisible forcefield around them so they dont have to look for cars when crossing the road etc. :mad:

It must be the flashing lights !!!, they dont seem to notice the ones on the big yellow and green Ambulance that I bimble about in either. When they do notice you isnt it funny how they look at you like its your fault.

If you are going to be run over by something though, best that it’s an ambulance!

I dunno, if I was to get run over my vehicle of choice would be a Sincalir C5 or maybe a smart car. Something that would crumple around me and at worst feel no wrose than a gnat bite.

Anyway, I’m sure anyone who gets run over by an ambulance would be run over just afterwards by you in your beemer! :stuck_out_tongue:

God no, wouldn’t ruin the paintwork with blood splatters.
