    I've got to the age in life now where I often ponder things but try not to get stressed by certain things, but still can't help wonder wtf at some stuff.

    (1) Does everyone go to the gym? Seems where ever I turn lately there's women in gym wear with seams splitting them in 2 and lads in vest tops and shorts, Is it a fashion or are gyms that busy - I never see that many in mine.

    (2) Do all male teenage kids wear these thin balaclavas weather riding a bike or not any season, is it the in thing or are they upto stuff and wanting to hide their face.

    Mysteries of the modern world eh, can tell its international break and I'm bored

    The worst fashion crime is the jeans that lads are wearing where the ars* hangs down as though it's to accommodate a pair of Pampers poonami proof.

    Why do people say "myself" when "I" or "me" will do?

    Why do people turn every noun into a verb? e.g. "in box me"

    Why do people think "of" is a verb? e.g. "I should of done this". There is no verb "to of". "of" is a preposition.

    People seeing someone trying to 'merge in turn' and deciding to make it their mission to never let them merge at all.

    Why, when asked a question, do many people begin their response with 'So...'?
    Why do some shops put an apostrophe before an 'S' when its totally wrong - e.g 'cig's sold here'? There's a place on Shambles street that does it. Can't recall the shop..

    This one does my nut it and a contributing factor of traffic build up, shouldn't be that difficult really clue is in the wording "turn" but your right those that can't grab the concept of flowing traffic cause a back log

    People who are intrinsically nasty *****. People who hate others without knowing anything about them. People who want to hurt others. In other words I have a gripe about the Tories and Reform.

    I remember one comedian complaining of motoring with fog lights on when the nearest fog was East of Warsaw.
