    One of my many annoyances .....

    People at traffic lights who stop, then keep inching forward ! .... only to
    wait for the lights to go green, and then sit there !!!! X-( what the F**K
    was all that inching forward for ?
    Ooh let's all have a chat about driving etiquette. Bad parking, traffic queue manners, tail gating, middle lane hogging, bstards the lot of them. Personally I find it incredibly rude how I get some audi or BMW flashing me in the fast lane when I'm doing 95! the cheek of it!
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    What really cheeses me off is when people at the gym sit on a piece of equipment for 10 min plus
    Playing with their phone!
    or when they don't rerack the weights after using them.
    On gym rants I've only got three words " use a towel"

    With 95here, trucks will be passing you on the Autobahn*


    *being well aware that you meant 95mph but that will get you lots of trouble on the fast lane here, too ;)

    From a police point of view there is no fast lane. .? There is lane number 1 and lane number 2 and 3 are overtaking lanes ,
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

    tell that to the people who block lane 2 and 3 while noone is on lane 1.

    It's about time the police caught up with the rest of us :v
    And Higgins! The speed limit here is 70mph and you get more severely punished for going over 100mph.
    AS, please don't say you were a traffic cop :#

    I always have a deep distrust of anyone driving in a hat, it's either a boy racer with a cap on or an old boy in the middle lane!
    Also on the roads! Some cyclists, today I saw such a one, whilst queuing in the left hand lane approaching a roundabout this mammary squeezes himself down roadside knocking everyone's wingmirrors shaking his head at the cars DESPITE THEIR BEING A CYCLE LANE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A BARRIER! Then just after roundabout is a pedestrian crossing which is on red so said cyclist then runs the red light and rides up on to the pavement nearly wiping out some pedestrian and joins the cycle lane he should have been on in the first place. Of course had I have knocked him off his bike while he was performing one of his wonderfully selfish moves I would have been taken to task as it seems it's always the motorists fault.

    I so hate the new way of Youtube ads! X-( X-( X-(

    So, I wanted to start a clip on youtube and instead of the usual clip, I am getting asked, which of the following airlines I know (and no chance to skip that nonsense!!!):

    1. KLM
    2. Lufthansa
    3. Turkish
    4 British Airways.

    I've opted to 5. none of them just because I really don't like to give any further information to these money grabbing bastards!
    I can only encourage everybody to follow that to end this nonsense.

    You could always try ad-block but there were some YouTubers that I liked and wanted to actually support them through the ad revenue and I removed it so I don't know currently how good of a job it does but it is worth a try for you, Jizzy.

    I wish YouTubers would stop plugging Pateron every two seconds. I get the point. They new system means you make less money.

    For a thousands views I earned...drumroll please...0.25$.
    I guess it's better than nothing but you have to earn a 100 bucks to get the ad revenue money you've been stacking up.

    I've got two albums available on iTunes, Spotify, etc, and the royalties from the streaming might buy a cup of tea. Actual sales are more profitable, of course.
  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent
    @ Barbel, can you give us an idea how much you get if someone streams a song of yours or an album?

  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 38,077Chief of Staff
    Certainly, at least for the streaming.

    Between the 16th of November and the 2nd of December this year, songs from one album were streamed 69 times and songs from the other 56 times. Total income: 40 cents. Not going to change anyone's way of life.

    Fortunately, the actual sales as opposed to streaming generate more income.

    kale! there's a rant-topic right there: what's the deal with kale?
    there's so many leafy green vegetables rich in B-vitamins that are nice to eat
    why does everything nowadays have to have tuff unchewable kale in it?
  • VesperMelogranoVesperMelograno The SouthPosts: 901MI6 Agent
    It really is an excessively stupid vegetable.

    Why are wheat and gluten free produce 50% smaller than wheat flour based products and cost twice as much? Oh and why do they remove the taste of such products and give them the consistency of cardboard??? Rant over! X-(

    As well as all of the vitamins it contains, it is also high in protean, according to my Vet :D
