An additional one, following a quick cigarette break/shopping trip...

People who ask for directions when standing next to a street sign and have a map/A-Z/GPS unit in their hands...

Do I look like the frigging Kings Cross Information Officer?

Oh... Wait...

Agreed, or when people type "gangsta" stuff in their comments. Makes me want to smack then in the nose.

The amusing thing is that they aren't actually legal when on their own, you have to have a constant rear light as well but I've never seen a cyclist with both, nor have I seen anyone pulled up by THE LAW about it

You're completely right but given the negligible risk of being pulled over/fined by the plod for the flashing lights versus the very real risk of some dozy twonk ignoring your constant rear light and hitting you I know which way I'm going on the lights issue each and every time.

Can you open it to let me look in it please?" My Mam had made me some lentil soup to have in the hotel that night.
The time before that it was a bottle of whisky.

The thing that gets to me is the toiletries or indeed any liquids in your luggage over 100ml, frankly if someone can blow up a plane with a can of Right Guard, some Colgate and Radox shower gel then you've got to suspect that they're quite capable of doing serious damage even without them. Oh and the whole can't have a blade business no matter how small, I've had to throw out nail clippers before - if I can take over a plane with a set of blunt nail clippers then I can sure as hell take it over with a pen and no one stops me taking that on board.

What really irritates me about this is that it doesn't make things any safer, it might give a feeling of apparant safety but that is poles apart from real safety so all it does is cause an inconvenience.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
