Sub Woofers.......

I like going to a concert and feeling the bass players notes and the drummers bass drum move my internal organs......but I hate sitting at home or in traffic and hearing 'thud' 'thud' 'thud' from some loser who listens to music with their bass level set to 10.

The more things you make illegal, the more attractive they become to certain people, and more crimes will be commited.

The death penalty works!

agggggrrrrrrrhhhhh, most of them have the option of sucking up the leaves, but idiots who are too lazy to buy a new bag or empty it will happily blow the dust and leaves everywhere, including towards your just washed car!

Pick up a broom and do not be so lazy!

I too hate sitting at the traffic lights when dills like this rock up in their cars with that *thud* thud* *thud* going...

We use to hear it at home, but not now since we moved, you could hear them coming up the road, miles away.

PVRs. I'm sure they're very good but as analogue finishes here next week my old and trusty VCR will go into the bin so now I have to learn a whole new device again when it took me forever to learn the VCR. .

Those battery operated scooter things old people drive should be banned.

They don't get it, they lost their licence because they were a danger on the roads so they drive these things on footpaths.

Nothing worse than one driving up behind you and yelling at you to move over but they forget the footpath is fenced both sides so no where for the person walking to go.

Then there are the ones who think parking across the shop door is a really good ide3a because they don't have to walk too far.

And what about the ones who decide to drive theirs inside a shop and can't turn the thing around to get back out (sure it would be easier for them to get out if I moved out of theie way but by this time I am fed up with them so lean heavily on my walking stick and pretend I can't hear them asking me to move.)

What about the bright sparks who drive theirs into the doctors, physios or pharmacy? A bunch of dummies, it doesn't occur to them that sick and injured people can be found in these places and a fool driving a fbs (*bleeping* big scooter) is a real nuisance in these places when mixed with all the walking frames.

All pedestrians shoud be allowed to carry road spikes to throw across the footpath if you see one coming too close to you.
