I can see where you're coming from, but I'm not really sure why there needs to be a correlation between D Day and LGBT awareness?

That said, I'm a miserable old git so any celebration that lasts a full month is likely to rile me.

Remember to get your protein shake within five minutes of training or it doesn't count :lol:

Mate, I'd be too knackered to even contemplate a 'protein shake' five hours, let alone five minutes after a work out these days... getting old is a bitch.

Personalised number plates that don't make sense.
For example, I saw a Range Rover Velar yesterday, and someone else had obviously nabbed V3LAR.
So they went for V5LAR. Vslar?!

Much better when it's clearly been ported from another car. Usually an estate or people carrier with something like "V8 AMG" or "MY A5T0N", thus announcing to everyone that your financial and/or familial situation has forced a downgrade.

Personalised plates full stop. I've just never really 'got it' when it comes to those. I find them a bit pretentious to be honest.

Although, last time I bought a brand new motor back in 2005 and the dealer brought down a sheet of paper with allocated reg numbers and said 'would you like to chose one?', I did pick the one they had that had my initials as the last three letters. But nobody but me and the Mrs knew the meaning and to the outside world, it was just another number plate.

Theis should be on the other little things thread but as it's about number plates...
Saw a pic online of a British car with a number plate that had the French crying with laughter. GR 05 CON.
Gros Con literally means fat c**t :lol:

My old man always used to rant about folk with private plates, but after the stadium move he purchased "E13 TBG" which I quite liked. Again, something only a few would ever pick up on.

If you push one of those all day you can eat what you like, and you don't need to go to the gym. :wink:

I know driving and the roads come up a lot in this topic but boy yesterday;

I'm driving down an A road on the way to work, the rain is pretty bad, it's slippy and visibility isn't great. However the traffic is flowing, no queues but relatively busy. Coming up on the left I spot an artic lorry patiently waiting in the layby to merge back onto the road. As I get closer, the doughnut in front me decides to slam his brakes on and come to a complete stop to let the lorry back onto the road. I must of ended up 1-2 inches from his bumper and likewise for the 2-3 cars behind me. I could see the whites of the eyes of the guy behind me because he knows how close he was to slamming into the rear of my car.

The thing that pisses me off, is the guy in front was clearly oblivious to how dangerous his manoeuvre was despite the reactions from the cars behind him. Plus, if I had ended up hitting him it probably would have been chalked down as my fault.

Finally seeing a bit of blue sky and venturing out at lunchtime for the first time this week. Going out and getting soaked in a downpour 5 minutes later.
