Re: Room 101
Straight in.
I stopped going up there a while ago mate , some right professional wankpots on there man , it's unreal . I'm not a serious rider but can cut it if needed but like to mix my training up but i nearly banjoed a fella up there a few months ago for getting shall we say above his station. I'm sure he won't be speaking to anyone like that again.
Straight in, in fact, under the banner of 'driving in the UAE'.

Re: Room 101
Those god @#$ websites that have autoplay Videos and News stories.
Manufacturer websites where moving the cursor over certain Text opens up a pull-down list which can be annoying when you don't intend for it to happen.

Re: Room 101
People who casually spew their lefty / Bremainer / anti-Trump opinions into a normal conversation, lifted word for word from the Indy or the Guardian, while assuming that you must of course agree with all of it.

VVIP convoys in the UAE.
Last night coming back from AD I'm in the fast lane averaging around 142-143km when I see in the distance behind me there's a couple police sirens flashing. Whoa, hope there isn't an accident. Immediately pull into the next lane to get out of the way (and slowing down to a reasonable 130ish).
Within seconds the sirens are almost level and I now see that in addition to the police cars there are half a dozen black unmarked Tahoes, all with sirens too. Clearly a VVIP convoy of some type. They're going quite fast, at least 160kmph.
But not only that, about half the black Tahoes (alternating with the other half) are actually about a meter into the next lane, literally nudging cars out of the way. This all happened so fast that I barely had time to move further to the right before they scraped past me by inches and I watch, gobsmacked, as they barrel past the cars ahead coming within inches too. It wasn't just kicking people out of the fast lane but they were pushing drivers out of the next lane in such a reckless manner (why not just take up two entire lanes at it, instead of driving so dangerously close, at such high speed, to cars that already thought they'd safely moved to the right?).
It was astonishing. I don't care who was being escorted but the potential for a major accident was too real. It was reckless and dangerous and without justification.

Re: Room 101
I'd never do that. The correct word is traitor. 
I'm more offended about your peroni comments though. It's genuinely my favourite beer - bottles of course. Although I'm more of a Savannah person these days (again, only bottles).

1. Traitor? You started with the correct vote but changed your mind half way through like Italy in WWII
2. Peroni used to be a favourite of mine. But last few times i had it it gave the worst hangovers ever (pints). Gone off it totally.
3. Bottles - so big time.
