    People who add "first world problem" to some issue they are having in their suburban life - some kind of lame pronouncement that in the worldwide scale of things - it is pretty minor

    Sweet Jesus! What other problems are you likely to have? Drought? Famine? Pestilence? Death by bum-bum?

    Why so many (typically younger) people nowadays start every sentence by saying 'I'm not gonna lie'.

    Good, why would you?

    Why people insist on driving straight at you when you already started driving past a line of cars before they appeared from a side road or round a corner. What do they really expect you to do? Levitate out of their way? Would it really hurt them to just slow down a bit and let you pass?

    And why people on mini roundabouts suddenly decide to cut across the roundabout early to catch you instead of just driving round it normally? Like gotcha, sound horn and throw arms in the air while pulling funny faces. So funny.

    Same as ‘to be honest’ which I have to admit I’ve used all my life for reasons I don’t even know - perhaps just a time filler while my brain formulates what’s to follow

    That's an illegal manoeuvre, cutting across a roundabout.

    Perhaps it's the influence of the leadership, young people will have only ever been exposed to the 'let me be absolutely clear' style of address from politicians before typically delivering the opposite,. It's normal for rebellious youth to subvert and push back against societal/ 'adult' behaviours even if it's subconsciously delivered without knowing irony. Just a thought.
    Or perhaps it's wider/ broader than that, they could feel lied to after all if they're switched on they'll be aware of the climate situation, the possibility that by the time they're middle aged or old, a certain amount of browns gonna be hitting the fan and the odds of having it better than the previous generation's won't be looking too clever.

    Yes, but seems to be getting to be popular. Some seem to see it as a challenge to try and catch someone out. Usually have their seat reclined so they can hardly see over the dashboard as well. Bless.

    It’s unfortunately only illegal if it is enforced, or if there is an accident with enough witnesses willing to do the right thing.

    If it’s illegal, it’s illegal regardless of whether it’s enforced or not.

    Why people continuously lick their finger end during the process of cleaning a dead fly off their windscreen. If a car was hurtling towards me at 70mph, I know what effect it would have on my bowels! I'm sure that it has the same effect on flies! I don't want to lick bits of dead fly or fly**it at all!

    Sometimes, these little painted roundabouts are in stupid positions making it hard to negotiate driving round them... rarely see anyone going round them properly including me😁

    Lolz, I had the “pleasure” of listening to him prior to Fighting Talk today. The words puerile, facile, childish, sad and ar*ehole all came to mind. I can only assume that the producers at the BBC Radio 5 either believe their demographic is between 10-22, people who failed their GCSE’s or are not actually listening themselves (or all 3).

    I shall plan my garage/garden work better in future.

    Perhaps he recognises the zeitgeist (not necessarily the majority!) and is matching himself to it to enhance his earning potential.

    Yes, it sounds to me like Mr Mills recognises who his employers want (and their idea of what the audience wants) is correct. He is giving the employers and the zeigeist-generating audience what they want.

    Indeed. There's a mini-roundabout near Brent Cross that buses need to negotiate. Of course, they completely ignore that fact that it's a roundabout. They'd need to turn into multi-jointed centipede-like vehicles to be able to negotiate it as supposedly intended. As would even, to a very considerable extent, normal size cars.

    Difficult to negotiate, but these roundabouts at least serve a purpose of managing priority at junctions and maybe a better solution than a simple give way junction.

    If vehicles have to cut over them shouldn’t be an offence.

    Why whenever there is even the slighted hint of hot weather someone will decide to not just have a BBQ but put the radio on as loud as possible so the entire street can hear. If it’s annoying for everyone else it must be deafening for them.

    Ill never understand why people go to Live Events like Boxing / Iconic gigs and despite being right there and being able to enjoy it on TV for the rest of their lives they chose to video it on a shitty phone and broadcast it, you can’t be in the moment and do that shit
