When sitting at a red light, the car in fronts driver is on their phone/looking in their bag for something/having a slurp of coffee etc etc,the lights go green,they fail to notice,get tooted,oh,the lights are green,pull away,they go through by which time the lights have gone red and everyone else behind get stuck there,lovely.
The length of time some people take to move off at lights drives me mad.
If I'm first at traffic lights, I often find I can be a long way past the lights before the next vehicle starts to move. I haven't jumped the lights or broken the speed limit, but am ready to move off as soon as the lights change. We could reduce a lot of town congestion if people moved off more quickly and didn't leave massive gaps between themselves and the vehicle in front.

I agree that is incredibly annoying, especially with sets of lights that don't give long and you can be just three or four cars back and get stuck there for another round because of the ditherers in front. What's more sobering though is to remember that if that's what their reaction time is like when they are in an anticipatory situation, it's likely to be far slower when they are driving behind you and have to brake suddenly with no warning.
The sheer number of plonkers that seem to have no comprehension of a box junction, or are so fecking impatient to move they disregard it and when the lights change they are stranded there blocking the way of traffic waiting the move from the junction left or right of them.

Fear not. Bexley council consider this a crime of the highest order and camera and fine accordingly.
Transgressors will therefore only do it once in future.
Rhododendrons. I absolutely hate the shiny bastards
You're in good company, I was just reading an article in The Woodland Trust's magazine about Welsh Rainforests and came across this, "...the chokehold of poisonous foreign shrubs like rhododendron ponticum, mean the delicate balance in these places is in peril..."
I know there are a lot of keen gardeners on Charlton life. When you're planting up your patches, please remember that flora spreads and doesn't stay just where it is planted. It's far better to go for native species that are more likely to fit in with the local wild plants and animals.

Luckily you don't see too many rhododendrons in the SE. Soil conditions here are not to their liking.

Ruined a joyous afternoon getting fined coming back from St Marys, after a glorious 0-1 against Southampton.
Mrs TCE's idea of controlling the dogs is too 'shout louder than them' FFS Every meal time its the same, makes my head hurt trying explain to her, typical response "well best you fecking feed the noisy b@st@rds"
I'm not reading through 979 pages, but having to sign for things using a finger on a screen, which is proof of nothing and so a change for the worse, annoys me. Still, we have no choice but to embrace new technology no matter how farcical it it
The TV critic on BBC1 this morning who says "heart rendering". The first time I thought it might be a slip of the tongue but then the dinlo did it again. Words are the tools of your trade, you dipshit, at least try and use them properly.

I have to confess ‘dinlo’ was a new word for me. 🙂
PS maybe the presenter was plastered and that’s why he got his words wrong ! 😉

It's good that he's got you Pointing out the problem though.
Two things... The first is the roads round where in live in Medway were never designed for cars, very few driveways so if I meet up with friends in an evening (and have to drive), its a bloody nightmare trying to find a parking spot getting home even as late as 7pm some evenings - Its one reason why I gave up my Charlton Season-Ticket as evening games were a nightmare to get home from.
Got home at 10pm last night, have to park on the school zigzag lines round the corner, as there is literally no where else to leave the car... Just meant I had to get up at 7am to move it before the 8am restrictions came into place - Got woken by my wife (at 8:10am this morning), who'd long been up, and knew I needed to move my car before 8am, going: "Didnt you need to move your car"
My fault for sleeping in - But never sprinted so bloody fast to move the damned thing before I end up with a parking ticket.

These puns are awful - there had better not be any mortar come

Micah Richards in the studio says 'I know McGinn and he's not that type of player'.
No comeback from the presenter, maybe they could say if he's not that type of player why did he commit a terrible tackle.
I mean if its not completed it shouldn't have reached 100% should it Adobe!!

Through once and then try to chuck the toast halfway down if you can is the best bet!
