The death of the last male Northern White Rhino.
At 45, Sudan was an elderly rhino, and his death was not unexpected. Just two northern white rhinos now remain: Najin, Sudan’s daughter, and Fatu, his granddaughter.
How sad that man's greed has caused the extinction of an entire species.10 -

Have always loved rhinos, recently got this sculpture...

The amount of people that sit on the outside seat of a train carriage and think their bag or coat deserve the other seat12

It's the huffing and puffing like you've singled out their bag for special treatment that annoys mecafcbrown said:The amount of people that sit on the outside seat of a train carriage and think their bag or coat deserve the other seat

Should be on the the things that please you thread. It brightens up my morning asking people to move themselves or their possessions so I can sit down.cafcdave123 said:

A couple of weeks back on my train a woman asked another woman to move and she went into a great big flouncy strop, as she was obviously doing something really important on her laptop. It brought a smile to my face and the askees face.
One thing that does annoy me is people spread out with their work stuff. They should get a proper job where they can work at a workplace or do their job in the hours of work or do a job they a capable of doing.

I find a nice passive aggressive comment such as "can I see your bag's ticket" really sets the day up nicely14

I make a point of wanting that seat. Even if there are plenty of other seats.8

If you really don't want someone to sit next to you, smile at them and pat the seat15

I always use the same tried and tested method....... Flies wide open, legs at two to ten, smiling and then whisper "You smell Sooooo good"

Or gently rock in your seat gazing intently up the carriage at nothing in particular, while wringing your hands constantly, quiet grunts or incoherent muttering always help too. Nobody wants to get lumbered with the train loony all the way home.McBobbin said:If you really don't want someone to sit next to you, smile at them and pat the seat

Rubberneckers!
I'd spare Roland the Duche in favour of the selfish, oxygen-thieving, skin-wasting, ghoulish 'tards bunging up our motorways. And for what exactly? You're dawdling along not looking where you're going, on a motorway, in the hope of seeing casualties, claret, wreckage? How is that going to improve your day, perverts? And the rest of us, delayed behind you, costing us all millions every year in time and fuel.
If you find yourself morbidly fascinated by the bloody misfortune of others, stick to youtube and your left-handed mouse, give up your car and licence, stay indoors out of the way of useful human beings and we'll all get to live longer. Have a care for any poor sod in need of an ambulance whose arrival you are callously delaying.
ANPR would be put to far better use getting all you miserable sickos off our roads for good.3 -

Had rubber neckers in front of me coming to Charlton a few months ago (they might even post on here) who slowed down to look at an accident @ the Danson turn off at the A2... Being behind them I could see the road had cleared so beeped at them to stop holding everyone up.StigThundercock said:Rubberneckers!

Ended up having to undertake them and as I did so, about five of them in the car started giving me lovely waving gestures - How the hell can you pass the blame to someone else for holding up traffic in that respect!!!0 -
Not having a dash cam!!
Driving home from work yesterday, was in a 40-mph zone and a car pulled out on me at the last minute meaning I had to slam my anchors on and naturally beeped at him (Yes for those reading my previous post I will do that to you if you want to try and cause an accident) - the bloke decided to take offence at me doing that and did an emergency brake, thankfully had enough time to swerve round him, thankfully the road was wide enough for me to do this so I didn't risk an oncoming car.
Act Two: Bit further up the road, he chases after me and over takes me this time, again slamming on his anchors and almost putting his car sideways in the road to ensure no one could get past whilst he made his point to me.
Act Three: of this incident is when I go on to the M25 (two lanes as you come on from Jct four) and over take him, as I go past I get him glaring at me and as I get past him, he aggressively swerved his car behind mine again (How he didn't hit the back corner of my car, and not spin me I don't know).
Act Four: Chases me up the M25, sticking alongside me all the way to the M20 junction (I was happy doing 60-mph in the slow lane so he did the same with me in the middle), thankfully he had to come off at that junction so that's where it ended, yet not before he gave another lovely gesture.
Ultimately am pissed off with myself as having a dash cam it would have meant I'd have reported him to the police the moment I got home, yet as I didn't there is sweet FA that I can do about him (Unless anyone has suggestions as can remember his Registration Number) - Just relieved my wife and baby weren't in the car with me at the time so didn't have to worry about their safety and had the reflexes to stop writing my car off for a good few miles down the road!!!0 -
There will presumably be some sort of CCTV proving he was in the locality in the surveillance society in which we live. If you know the registration number why not report him anyway?ForeverAddickted said:Not having a dash cam!!

Don't hold your breath for any action but at least you would have the satisfaction of knowing that you tried to do the right thing.

Cheers... the main fun and games was heading up Court Road just as you get to Chelsfield Lakes Golf Course so not 100% sure if there is any CCTV up that way... Will certainly have a look tonight and have a chat with the Police at leastLenGlover said:

The fact that thousand of starlings can fly in a myriad of beautiful circles without coming into contact with each other but I can't get from platform 19 at Victoria to the underground without being assaulted by cases, shoulder bags and various limbs and digits.
If I have time I go to Witherspoon up the escalator have a pint of Kronenbourg and watch the ants below me and ponder about the takeover and the difference 3 wins in a row makes to my general state of mind.
COYR.

I used to work with this old guy when I'd just started work. He used to be a construction site supervisor and would drive around in his van most of the time. I went out to visit a few sites with him a few times, and noticed he had a fucking mean metal bar in the storage bit of the drivers door. I asked him what it was for, and he said, hefting it casually, "Oh this? It's my road rage weapon." Completely straight face. Luckily we never got into any road rage incidents.Greenie said:

Other people having different standards of behaviour and consideration for others in public places to me.
Very hard to teach your grandchildren to behave properly when they see other children being allowed to do what the hell they like to the annoyance of others without any input whatsoever from whoever is meant to be looking after them.
I guess in this day and age trying to teach children manners and respect is defined as child abuse and I am the one in the wrong.6
