powerdesal Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Computers,I switch on by pressing the "on" switch, quite logical.Why can't I have an "off" switch, 3 separate actions including pressing start!Surely its not beyond the technical wit of computer designers to build an off switch, even with an auto shutdown sequence following the switch "push". Dipstick car drivers, Concrete barrier on my left, row of cars on my right, row of cars in front of me and a cretin behind in a Range Rover sport, flashing his lights 3 ins from my rear bumper. Is he trying to vapourise me or does he expect me to "beam up" out of his way???? Idiot brain dead loony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Ooops, forgot to add : keep your right foot on the accelerator, and touch the foot brake with your left. That should scare him (but he might be so close he won't see it....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 As we were all travelling at about 100km/hr at the time I didn't really want a rear end shunt in a company car. I checked his number plate and it wasn't a double digit or any other special one so a gave a very exaggerated gallic shrug and ignored him. I pulled over when I could as its not woth the hassle.
