I don't remember posting that what was the context?

I fully support you if you want to give me a slap.
I read your comment a "our first win in ten years"

The ten came from nowhere. It wasn't in your post and my feeble brain made it up. Maybe it's my inferiority complex.

And worse - the quote came from @Metalhead - post 1828
I have no idea how your name got the credit in my quote.

Well i drive one and I always indicate and about 80% of them I observe also indicate.
The other 20% are joined by all other makes and models.

they don’t indicate and they drive right up the arse of the person in front of them, who is usually already doing 90 in the fast lane. ?

It's in your mind.
You don't see the other 80% who aren't doing that and you don't notice all the other cars that do do it.

It's vehicular racism.


You're also probably the type of person that would rather die than let a BMW out of a junction or to pass you/enter your lane, no matter how polite and patient and how many times we indicate.

Any BMW driver will agree with me on this - everywhere we go, all we get is angry hostile little wankers in their cars shaking their fists at us, closing gaps to stop our progress, shutting off lanes so we can't change, all whilst we go about our daily drive in perfectly acceptable ways.

And yet apparently WE'RE the ones with the attitude.

But apparently it's ok for non BMW drivers to make people stop at round abouts then turn left without indicating, because only BMW drivers do that, despite me, being in a BMW, actually fucking indicating.

I might get a dash cam with a mic and film my daily drives with my commentary .
Youtube channel of me ranting, Comedy gold but also a real life documentary about vehicular racism and how shit and inconsiderate every one is at driving now.

Lukakau is technically quite poor. His key strength is powerful running onto balls played into channels, physically bullying defenders once at full pace and scoring from those chances. He is not that great in the air for a big man, and is pretty poor at hold up play or movement when the ball is being played to feet. To get the best from him United need to play on the counter with more direct passes. Which is what United did under Mourinho at the start and thus why he was initially successful. But to play as a focal point for intelligent / cultured players like Mata, Lingard, Sanchez, Martial etc. his game is too weak to him to be an asset. Quite simply Everton was his level and he’s not a top 4 striker.

I would agree. A good comparison for me would be Darren Bent. Always scored goals for lower level teams who played on the counter. He would run onto balls and finish well. However, when he came to us we were possession based and the intricate play around the box was never going to get the best our of him. Lukaku is obviously better than Bent but I think they are very similar in their attributes.

In 08/09 Darren Bent scored 12 league goals from 33 league games for a team that sacked a manager after it's worst ever start and finally finished 8th.

Last season, Lukakwho scored 16 league goals from 34 league games for a team that finished 2nd and got to the FAC Final.

I think it's harsh on Bent to say Lukakwho is obviously better.

I drive a perfectly anodyne Fiesta eco-turbo and people do that to me all the bloody time. We all get it, not just BMW drivers.

I'm an extremist signaller. I signal every bloody thing and I do it early. Aside from being polite, it's defensive: if I get into a shunt, it's less likely to be my fault if I've signalled the hell out of every move.

As a result, I lack sympathy for anyone who habitually doesn't signal. I have never noticed a correlation between non-signalling and someone's choice of car manufacturer. I have noticed a correlation between non-signalling and large, expensive, fast cars, especially those with tinted windows. The phrase "thinks he owns the fucking road" arises with remarkable frequency. It may be that BMW make a high proportion of those cars, but there are plenty of other candidates that attract wanker drivers.

Non-signalling and tailgating. Bad bad bad.

Not that we're going off topic or anything like that...

When I learned to drive (early 60's)
we were taught to signal
specifically to the car that isn't there.
When pulling out from the kerb for example.

Some people have what my daughter calls
the basic model, no flashers.
But she lives in Spain which is far worse.

Now what was the topic again?

Non-signalling, is not always bad. There are plenty of instances, particularly when changing from the right to left lane, with junctions on the left up ahead, where its unnecessary to signal as its potentially confusing for cars attempting to come out of the junction.

As a driving instructor I know all about the boring detail of when it's correct to signal and when it's not.

The worst and most lazy case of non signalling is when you're waiting to emerge into a roundabout and a car from your right comes into the roundabout and goes left with no signal on.
Because there's no signal you have to assume, in most situations, they're going straight on. Now had they simply signalled left you'd be away in most instances thus it helps the flow of the roundabout.

How hard is it to extend your figure a few millimetres!!
