Proggers that don't know what PA is are fine from my experience. the PA attitude can be infuriating

I dunno, perhaps it's just me, but sometimes I think that if you're not happy with the company you keep then the onus is on you to just, well, like, you know, just sod off then.

I've also met some wonderful people who have terrible music taste. I often think talking about prog to a prog fan is going to end badly.

People who stand 2 meters away from a trash can and still use the forest/sidewalk/street/park instead. What´s up with that? It´s cool to litter, or maybe people just don´t understand what these big metal cans are doing in the middle of the street? Some sort of lunch box for the homeless folks perhaps?

People that need to defend this web site at every chance, even though it is just a web site...not your life or anything


Nah just kidding Dean, you know I am totally in to you. If ya know what I mean


What else am I really, really not into?
The fact that road construction always logjams everything and 95% of the time it's just one guy drilling a hole in the road. However, the few times they are doing actual work is always at rush/heavy traffic hours.



Semi related: When there's an accident on the other side of the highway, completely away from you, and everyone slows down solely to gawk at it.

On the one hand yeah, on the other, if you're stuck in traffic due to an accident and people gawking, aren't you kind of entitled to?

Well sure, especially when we're coasting along at 10 mph might as well stop to look, but I'd prefer no one did at all and keep it moving
I'm talking a median divided highway, not even close to where we are. I can see a knee jerk slow down reaction if we need to go past it, but cmon in this case there's no need to slow down for it!!!

Yeah, that's one for the Ranting Room - or for a maths pop quiz... if it takes one man 6 weeks to dig a hole in the road, how long will it take three men to lay out the traffic cones and diversion signs, how many police cars will be needed to catch the motorists who speed up once they've passed the road works and how much will they make in fines?
