Two unrelated rants.

Rant 1.
When you book with Airlines, most are ticket free.
So if you book at short notice, wtf do they say that they can't send your non-tickets through the post as the may not get there in the 7 days they have to send them and you have to collect them which incurrs a £10 charge?

Rant 2.
I was driving to work today on the A3, in no real hurry so was probably doing 65-70 mph in the inside lane, keeping a constant safe stopping distance between me and the car in front.
Why does some pratt who wants to get to the petrol station feel that he has to pull in between us, then bang his brakes on to slow from 80mph when there's about 1/4 mile of road behind me 'cos everyone seems to insist on driving bumper to bumper at 80mph in the two outside lanes?

Honestly though, the answer to the first question is that its friday and they need some beer money. The answer to the second is that if you were a 'real driver' you'd be tailgating too and so he wouldn't have been able to get in.....you only have yourself to blame

Morning grumpy

Actually, the asmwer to the second one is that the driver is the twin borhter of the HGV driver who always pulls out of a junction in front of you, making you slam on your brakes, to then sit doing 49.752mph (after he has worked up to it over a couple of miles) when again, you have 1/2 mile of clear road behind you.

And they are both cousins of the articulated lorry driver who doesn't wait for enough room to pull out on a roundabout and hence blocks your exit, leaving you parked in the middle of the roundabout waiting for 40m of trailer to inch its way across in front of you.

I am suprised you didn't know this

You seem very well informed. Are you related to any of these people?
