Indeed.

I'm going to counter your suicidal pedestrians with homicidal car drivers. I nearly get hit by cars on a regular basis on my way into uni, I cross a side road that a lot of people park down, it is fairly shortly after a larger junction and people seem to think that once the traffic lights are green for the main junction they should pull away as fast as possible and 100 yards further on swing left into the side road at high speed without either indicating or checking whether someone is already crossing the road.

I end up giving way to cars regardless of the highway code because they are a couple of tonnes of metal travelling at about 30mph and I'm about 65kg of rather softer stuff travelling at about 3mph.

Oh, and don't get me started on both cars and pedestrians when I am on my bike!!

Modern albums. If you band has only got eight good songs. Then make an album with just those eight good songs on. Yes I know a CD has room for seventeen tracks but you don't have to fill up the remainder with sajt.

Janos, they've got 17 good tracks, but they need to save something for the second album they're never going to get a deal to produce.

That said, Modern albums can go in there for generally being shite. I don't think there's an album made in the last ten years which is going to top even the worst of my collection from the 60s-80s.

Digs.

The prevalence of American diving terms such as "doubles" it's a "twinset" or "twins"

The prevalence of Americanisms such as "period." In English it's a full stop.

Is that what the English women call it, so no sex warning for the blokes?

I love this thread. Thanks for resurrecting it.
