I have not had rocks thrown recently but for hitting the brakes to avoid an idiot on a bicycle I had a passenger threatening all sorts because I scared him... This area seems to have more than its fair share of moron's.

Round here we have spates of busses being targeted with catapults or air rifles.

Worse thing is they know exactly who is doing it but there is never any proof.

Bus Drivers aren't the target round here.. lorry drivers on the M5 are.

Little update after talking to the driver involved, she's okay but almost hit a parked car with the shock of having that rock hit her arm.

Out on my pushbike in a country lane around Evesham bloke in a big ranger right up my arse but couldn’t pass
I came to a t junction to turn right he opened his window and spat at me then turned left
I was so stunned I had to stop and get of my bike, I am getting more and more nervous out cycling now there is no need for people like this to be on our planet

What a w@nker. I'm pretty sure that'd be assault...or in theory, at least. It'd be battery if he'd hit you with it. I think that's how that one breaks down, but I'm not 100%.

This morning out on the bike this morning I was about 7 in line waiting for traffic lights. Range Rover comes charging up the right turn lane, and then dives inside to go straight on at the last minute to avoid the queue, almost causing an accident. Too many cnuts on Britain's road these days.

Women who unnecessarily bring gender into their question with sexist comments and then bring up more irrelevant facts when you reciprocate the question such as "I'm a dominatrix".. WTF does that have to do with an effing kickstand?!

Maybe she does. A huge part of S&M is consent though so I don't understand what makes her think she can be a dominatrix to everyone she comes across. He freedom of expression is not compulsory by law but freedom of speech is. It's just a shame that people like her give feminism the bad rep it gets these days.

Whilst I'm sure whatever it was would have been consensual, she presumably didn't say "thank you" ? ;)

I don't know how this keeps happening!

Another year of paying duplicate insurance premiums!!! I am so sure that I ring up and cancel policies then I get to the end of the year and I have 2 auto-renewals come through :@ :@ :@ :@ :@

No wonder I'm struggling financially, I paid nearly £600 more than necessary for the last fecking year!

Now I've got the task of getting one of them to refund my insurance premium for the entire year. Like that's gonna happen :@

If its a credit card i would cancel the card and get a new one. If its a debit card, the bank are obliged to refund you.

I believe so....then the bank goes after the $$$ from the ins. co.
The bank's voice carries a little more weight.
