    Those drivers that queue and help block the entrance to petrol station forecourts because they are waiting for a pump on a particular side when they dont need to.

    Never been caught out at one where the hose is not quite long enough? Frustrating as hell.

    Petrol stations that don't serve or have run out of Super Unleaded. They are also the stations that don't bother to clearly indicate the pump is dry until you've parked at it.

    No, this has NEVER happened to me. Either you have a really massive car or you are parking too far away. The hoses are designed to reach over even the biggest 4x4

    This has never happened to me either. That includes when I had an E Class and my little sports car(mid-life crisis ;)) now.

    But agree with you about the Super Unleaded, that is really frustrating. Often end up queuing for one pump out of 10 or so!

    Did you see that people were sending (heavy) things to the ukip free post account so they'd have to pay for it? Made me laugh.

    I didn't, but that's fantastic. I always wonder who the people are who think of stuff like this... He got egged today which I enjoyed.

    The morons that decided they had to get on the pitch yesterday.

    The game ended and as all of the guff that needs to be on the pitch for no reason whatsoever, like confetti cannons and balloons, about 100/200 mouthbreathers decided to run onto the pitch, mainly from the 'singing' section next to the away fans.

    So the stewards cleared the idiots off the pitch and everyone else called them *******. Fair enough. Then the players did a ****, sterile lifting of the trophy and someone warbled that Queen song. All pretty standard before we got to the best bit, the lap of honour with the players' cute kids and attractive wives. Just before they got to the end of that though, more ******* ran on, but this time with kids, and far more people than before. The players and their children looked terrified and some scampered straight down the tunnel. They ruined it for everyone. There was no spontaneity in it, the players didn't want to celebrate with them, and about half of the ground didn't get to see the trophy or applaud the players as they passed by.

    Also, the thing that completely ruined the day was seeing an elderly steward get absolutely floored by a punch from a rampaging ****. I saw it at the time, and after finding my dad and stepmum later on who had sat elsewhere, found out that my stepmum had caught it all on film and the club want the footage to identify the man.

    I'll keep you posted. Hopefully he isn't allowed at another football game for a very long time.

    Oh dear...Rockets fan? Harden really not good enough for the whole series. Props to Blazers and Lillard though, he is a superstar in the making.

    Ha, ha. I had read this post entirely and thought I was cracking up, before I realised it was by Filbert :doh:

    Oh and can I also say, massive respect to Ignasi Miguel for parading two absolute stunners around the pitch after the game. Magnificent specimens. They could have been his sisters, I'd like to think otherwise though.

    The word "trophy" was a dead giveaway that it wasn't about us.

    Yeah big Rockets fan. Harden was poor all series, showed up in game 6, but it was too late by then. He hits a few more of the shots he usually makes in every game and Rockets take that series no trouble. Howard showed up big time though, which is nice. I felt honored to be at game 2 and watch him absolutely ruin Lopez time and again in the first 5 minutes. One of the most awesome displays of dominance I've ever seen. Lillard was awesome the whole series, made some incredible shots time and again, same goes for Aldridge.

    It was a great series to watch, every game being close and so many lead changes. Haven't been able to watch a game since Friday night though, it hurts too much still.

    Morey will be looking to add a 3rd star this summer, so things are looking good for a big year next season.

    Magic fan here, so forgive me for not being too sorry for Dwight ;p You need to play Harden in an actual system, not just iso-ball every play. Howard can be better for you as well, he hasn't shown nearly as much dominance as he did in Orlando.

    You have a good team in the making though - get someone a bit more consistent/reliable than Lin at PG and you'll go further.

    These playoffs are crazy. Raptors-Nets game 7 was great - Toronto fans are mental.

    But to be fair the opening line of 'the morons that decided they had to get on the pitch yesterday' made it seem like it could refer to our players

    The playoffs have been pretty mad so far. Breaking all sorts of records for game 7's, number of games decided in OT, and smallest winning margins. Thunder and Clippers has potential to be an absolutely epic series in the next round.

    Yeah the current system encourages a lot of glory ball from Harden. He's an incredible offensive player though, so you kind of just deal with the fact he's going to have the ball a lot and sometimes he's going to have bad games.

    I think people forget D12 isn't quite as young as he was, and he's had some injury issues. He's been excellent all year long though, showing why he's elite all series long. He's been working a fair amount with Olajuwon and it's showing. Dream was before my time, but watching tape of that guy, you can see the way he's been able to work on Dwight's game.

    I think it'll be the end of Lin in Houston this off-season. He's getting paid a lot of money, but not really producing. He's great at running around really fast and jumping in the air without any idea what he's going to do with the ball. Definitely being paid to much to be a back-up PG. Beverley was struggling with his torn meniscus all series, and was in hospital all week with an illness. I wish they had kept Dragic rather than going after Lin, but hindsight is a killer.

    Word in town is that the Rockets are going after Kevin Love if there is any hint he's ready to leave Minnesota, which would be amazing. Also talk of going after Carmelo, but I'd hate to see how we play defense with 'Melo and Harden in the same line-up.

    We've got a good young team (youngest in the NBA I believe) with good chemistry. The future should be pretty sweet.

    The Rockets haven't been any good since 2004 after Rodgers was sold to Texas. The Packers are my bankers for the league this year. Jennings to be top scorer.

    Thunder-Clippers will be intense. Despite all the obvious star power, I think DeAndre Jordan may the the x-factor in that series. He was beast against the Grizzlies and Doc Rivers knows how to get the best of out of his players.

    Love would undeniably make you better, but I still think you'd be better suited to spending your remaining cap space on a good PG. Love, Harden and Howard are all used to being the guy, so i'm not sure how that would pan out. And as for Anthony and Harden together....I don't think anyone else would touch the ball. Dragic would have be ideal, but didn't you get rid of him to clear space for Harden? Olajuwon seems to have coached his post game to every man and his dog, but I think great post play is something that needs to be learned early in a career.

    To be honest, i'm not a fan of all these star players teaming up. That's why it's hard not to root for the Spurs and Thunder. Both Franchises are built around draft picks, and have sustainable setup (particularly San Antonio). But I suppose, like football, it's the way the NBA is going right now.

    I'd start an NBA thread in Other Sports, but don't think there would be much interest?
