That explains it. My parents are from the west cost but I'd never heard it until I moved to Edinburgh a few years ago. I genuinely thought they believed Coca Cola was some sort of fruit.Mortimerician said:

If you mean when queuing in traffic leaving half a cars distance in front keeps your cars engine cooler.ME14addick said:People who slowly move off at traffic lights. Some lights stay green for so short a time and they have no consideration for those waiting behind them.
Also people who, when driving in a queue, leave long gaps between themselves and the vehicle in front. If everyone left such big gaps, the queue would be much longer and there may well be people who could turn off at junctions, but are prevented from doing so.
If you mean when driving along, keeping a safe distance means you don't slam into the car in front when they hit their brakes!
It's ok, don't thank me!
Birds and cars eh! ;o)0 -
Plus it is standard protection officer procedure to leave enough gap in front of you so not hemmed in, in the event of an attempted kidnapping or car jacking.0

My TV turning itself on and off at random moments without any remote control input from me (middle of the night last night)

I'm talking about leaving a gap of 20 yards or more when in a slow moving queue - there is no need for that.MrOneLung said:Plus it is standard protection officer procedure to leave enough gap in front of you so not hemmed in, in the event of an attempted kidnapping or car jacking.

This is a great one. YouTube comments reflect so badly on mankind.(1984) said:Youtube comments
I've got a new one today. My Indian neighbours cook curry early on a Saturday, the smell usually hits my bedroom window around 9am. That's my general thing.
A more specific complaint is, they had to hammer some ingredients at 7am, waking up both adjacent flats.
Can't wait to move out.0 -

If it happens again we'll know it's the box - but like you say it's no fun in the middle of the night0 -

Homeopathy. Actually, alternative 'medicine' in general, but Homeopathy specifically. The most ludicrous nonsense ever invented, yet somehow we're, as taxpayers, funding this woo-woo shit on the NHS0

Constantly changing your mind about players,Managers,etc when results go against us. Constantly contradicting yourself and not even realising that you have contradicted yourself. Constantly moaning about other Charlton forums, but always looking at that forum.0

1. Women who, when at a till to pay for their goods, only get their purse from their bag after being told the amount to pay.
2. People you cant/wont wait their turn to be served in a pub.
3. Drivers who don't indicate.
4. Chelsea FC(plus manager). No morals, no humility, no class.
5. Football supporters who claim they know the "rules" of football. There are no "rules - there are 17 "Laws"0 -

Homeopathy is the practice that gives you a very small dose of the condition you wish to prevent, that dose theoretically stimulating antibodies to ward off infections, etc. I believe that a major study a few years ago exposed homeopathy to be nothing but a farrago of mumbo-jumbo. HRH Jug-Ears believes in it, bless him.man_at_milletts said:

not even that. It's based on the flawed principle that like cures like, so the "active ingredient" is something that gives similar symptoms e.g. something that makes you feel sick to cure nausea. It wouldn't provoke an immune response against your condition which is highly specific anyway. also, if you have a particular disease, your body will be fighting it. no need to give it further grief. This is all by-the-by. The treatment is diluted to the point of having hardly a drop in it, and at its most "potent", has nothing in it at all. It is nothing but water.Viewfinder said:

In double-blind controlled experiments (of which there are many, often neatly combined into meta-analysis that are statistically very significant) homeopathy is found to be no better than placebo. In other words, the treatment does sod all. The placebo effect is interesting, and I actually think there may be a case for placebo based treatments in some cases... but homeopathy is utter cack.0
