What makes you grin

What makes me grin; woke w4nkers doing flick-flacks of righteous indignation. I'm sure no one on here will take offence but, if there are, they will only make me laugh. Mods; get ready for incoming. :D
 
That someone, not necessarily on this forum, tried to get this UK Gov petition up and running on their website..


A pedant writes: I must admit to being quite pleased that it was rejected for (a mild level of) ambiguity / poor wording. (This could be easily fixed.) I'm very tired of petitions turning up in my FB feed (in particular) that are illiterate and meaningless. Petitions on the lines of, "Stop the takeover of are NHS by amricans and corporatins." or "Mum's should be give free vouchers for chrismas by Boriss cos of kids toy's and stuff."

(In many Arabic-speaking countries, there are specialist writers in most markets, who will listen to what someone is trying to say in vernacular speech and then write it in decent formal Arabic. We should have that here!)
 
Something that is still making me grin today. I was repeatedly beeped at and sworn at today whilst in the XKR Jaaag. The guy in the other car was yelling “you stupid effing little c…” repeatedly whilst tooting his tiny horn. My husband pointed out afterwards that using the word “little” was a compliment! He wasn’t calling me an old trout. Oh, and the guy stalled his Honda Civic when he tried to speed off.

As I used to say to my children, when they reported bad behaviour by their siblings, "but what happened just before that?"
 
Nothing spectacular, my husband had jumped out of the passenger side on a red light. The lights changed, I realised that he’d got the car key in his pocket and couldn’t hear me shouting “you’ve got the key” because of the guy behind with his hand stuck on his horn. So, it was entirely my fault that I held up 2 or 3 cars on time critical missions in Folkestone town centre on a Sunday morning. The clown, who followed me, still blaring his horn, then had to double back and headed off in an entirely different direction. I know I could have driven away without the key, but I wouldn’t have been able to turn the engine off. Humph! But at least he called me “little”

You could have just said “Folkestone”, that would have explained it ;)

If that'd happened anywhere else but in a car you can guarantee they wouldn't have said a word , the car isn't the impregnable tank they think it is as I'm sure they'll find out when they do it to the wrong person
