something like that, pot actually had a correct pronounciation which was Fray-o rather than Fago or something like that.

Apparently from greece either way, greece's number one yoghurt.

lol won't be buying one of them again. It was nice but too rich, be sick if you ate a whole one. I was reeling off half and only ate that becvause it was going in the bin otherwise. Waste of 2 quid for a slice.

I just had this on my way to work. There was a giant flashing sign with an arrow telling people to merge due to a lane closure. You could see it a mile away. Lo and behold there are morons waiting right in front of the sign to get over. I looked one girl right in the eye and said, "not today!"

Oooh er, you devil LOL !!

A couple of years ago I had a girl trying to push in to a queue and she beeped her horn because I wasn't letting her in, so I flipped my middle finger at her. She got really pissed off and got right up my bumper, and then crashed in to the back of me. Haha.

Oh in the case of the barrels and the flashing thing they would still have priority around here.

I believe the rules around here state: 1)You're obligated to drive as far as you can on the lane you're currently on.
2)At around 300 meters before the obstacle you're obligated to adjust your speed to the lane next to you.
3) The vehicles on the other lane start making room for the other vehicles
4) At the end brake and merge without disruptions.

They made these rules because the Belgian roads have the worst traffic in Europe. Quick google:

In the situation you describe though; the antisocial elements are slowing everyone down so I understand your predicament.

Also is your alcohol situation better?

That's probably how it is here but no one knows the rules (me included). I just drive situationally and whether or not the people I am driving around are unhinged and I should stay out of their way.

It is absolutely. It was easy and I really don't know why I thought it would be an issue.

People are just crazy. Who allows themselves to get that angry where they put themselves and other people in harm's way over an inconvenience? Sure there are idiots all over the road that do things that make me fume, but it's not worth speeding up to their bumper and trying to run them off the road.

Indeed, reduced lanes everywhere it's like it's some sort of current campaign.

I got caught by that camera the other week though - totally my fault and I knew it was there, just a bit peed off

One guy a few weeks ago fully tried to ram my car off the road because I wasn't going quick enough for his liking, despite the fact I was approaching a speed camera. I lost my cool and chased after him, telling him to pull over and get out of his car. Fortunately for me he soiled his pants and apologised and slowed down. If we'd actually had a fight he would have kicked my head in.

....I go to that Ben Dunn gym and I noticed some of the little cut throughs around Binns Rd are completely closed with diversions. Hopefully whatever they are doing in the short term will eventually improve things.
