    What I call "Sunday afternoon drivers". . . . speed set at 40mph whether the limit is 20, 30 or 60mph.

    I think they're usually driven by bad drivers who feel safer driving about in a tank. The same type used to drive cars with b****x bars on the front. Why don't they pad the outside of cars with that plastic you can use for ovenware? Then these people could bounce into each other and parked cars without doing too much damage?

    sport

    the royal family

    pets 

    religion

    coffee which has had stuff added , sprinkles of powder, syrup of something and it has to be in the right shaped cup with the right depth of froth. It's coffee, get over it.

    Everyone is going to hate me now.

    I'm with you on most of those hosta. I haven't got a pet at the moment but I get why people have them.

    I don't see why anyone should hate a person because they don't' 'get' something. Some people need to feel that there are beings that are greater than themselves, hence the royal family and God. I accept that they do, but I don't get why either.

    I get why people pull out of junctions and poodle along - they're c##p drivers.

    news reporters pointlessly standing outside Parliament, bank of England, Foreign Office or anywhere else at 10pm when the buildings concerned are empty and locked up. Why not just sit in the studio?

    I'M AFRAID I DO THAT SOMETIMES PANSY. I THINK IT'S THE ACTION OF ASKING THE QUESTION THAT CONCENTRATES THE MIND. IT DRIVES MY HUSBAND BONKERS.

    B3, I totally understand that folk love the things " I don't get" and that's great for them. I'm not trying to deprive them of that joy, I just " don't get it" 

    Some folk "don't get " gardening, or Opera. Odd , but that's fine too.
