Do the gantry speed cameras adapt to trigger if the temporary lower speed is exceeded?

Ran to the post office and the amount of people I had to dodge staring down at their smartphones before being shocked other people exist was silly. Also, children with no spatial awareness or parents who don't think they need to keep them out of people's way.

Also witty smart Alec's on the street. "That parcel looks fragile mate, better not drop it!" What is this, a cartoon? Are you 5 years old? Yes it says Fragile on it, you can read, congratulations. I told them to strawberry float off.

Anyway mission was successful. I sometimes wonder why people seem so surprised about others trying hard at things. Wow! Look at that person running! I can't imagine running to something, because my life is so chill.

Yup.

Vehicle drivers who don't use their indicators. Turning left or right? No need to signal, other people should know where you're going! If you're on a quieter road, that means you don't have to signal!

Nah, let's break this down further:

I'd like to echo Gecko's annoyances about smartphone zombies and people with strawberry float all spatial awareness.

Delivery people who don't ring the strawberry floating doorbell then piss off after less than five seconds.

Nearly missed a parcel earlier because of that,, I'm sure that sometimes they write out the "we couldn't be arsed to wait for you to open the door" card in advance.

What cheeses me off more is people who don't think they need to indicate if there are no cars. So if you are crossing the road at a T junction, there about a 50% chance some gormless twat will half turn one direction, then swing right into you when they figure out which way they're going. This sometime in heavy traffic makes it literally impossible to cross without risk because the only opportunity is if someone signals they definitely turning away from you and you can safely cross.

As either a driver or a pedestrian, people who don't indicate on roundabouts are pure scum who should get points on their licence.

Oh, definitely, dude. I don't drive and so my rants about drivers are from a pedestrian's perspective .

I used to drive - a long time ago - but I never got on with it .

Maybe playing gt sport would help with that...

This is BS. Yesterday was my first day of leave and I started feeling ill. Overnight it became full blown man flu so now I'm just wasting my Saturday feeling too ill to do anything.

Yep. Also, banana splits who take their trollies right to the very exit of the shop car parks so that the wheels lock just so they can have 30 seconds of not carrying their shopping. Lazy, selfish, disgusting banana splits.

I've seen some people just take the trolleys all the way home.

I don’t blame them, they only cost £1 and are useful if you are walking home.

...and the flap on the back of the small ones makes a great BBQ grill.

that is absolutely brilliant

One of the xmas presents I bought my dad (Dave Gilmour live in Pompeii on Bluray) has completely vanished, I gave it to my mum to put under the tree on christmas eve and that was the last anyone saw of it.

I guarantee it'll turn up if I order another copy.

I guess that will cost you some Money to replace

There's this tramp who roams around near my office and he's the most persistent beggar ever. He'll ask you for change, you say you're sorry but you don't have any, then he will follow you begging and begging until you pretty much get back to your office. I hate him. I feel for the homeless and donate to Shelter every month but this guy can get strawberry floated.

You should confront him and tell him to go home.

Don't make a big issue out of it.

My mate is convinced there's some kind of eastern european begging racquet in Belfast.
