Dominos Pizza. They now charge $11.90 for a singular meat lovers pizza. They really do rate themselves, don't they? What rubbish.

$11.90 here too for Classic Meat Lovers online pickup order, which is bloody annoying when it's the only pizza shop without going all the way into Christchurch.

So it turns out it's $7.90 with student I.D. which is good, but still, $11.90 pick up for anyone is ridiculous.

1) People who drive too slow in the FAST lane and all assosiated things. Don't tell me there's no fast lane in NZ - everybody knows that the right lane is the fast or passing lane so if you pull out to pass then do it.... Then PULL THE F&*k BACK OVER!!!!

Assosiation and extensions:

People who drive for no reason in the fast lane and then pull over 2 lanes of traffic just before their off ramp... WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!!????

People who drive in the fast lane in parallel to someone in the slow lane(s) so there is no way past.

I'm sure this is exactly what I sound like to other people in the car when I'm driving.

Hate f**kers who go into the fast lane and drive at 85kph because they have to make a right turn 30km down the road. Would take the driver's licence off them if it were up to me.

True, but it does say explicitly in the road code (and on signs all over the place) "Keep left unless overtaking". So people have no excuse.

What annoys me even more is when people drive at 80 on the open road, then decide to speed up to 110 once they're on a passing lane. Happens all the time. F%$&*n annoying.

Driving in NZ.

Everyone is either in way too much of a hurry to get somewhere or out for a Sunday drive.

I wish they were all as considerate and as good a driver as me.

Yes, people who signal Right then go straight through.

OR people approaching from the right, then turn left without indicating, leaving you waiting.

You see, if we all rode bicycles this wouldn't be a problem.

Light rail is good too, so I've heard.

Aren't the new road code & give way rule coming into effect in October this year?

This is bound to make things rather messy over the next few months/years.

Beijing mid 1990s - cyclists still ruled the roads but starting to be challenged by the automobile.

Certainly had to indicate if you valued your life in a swarm of cyclists. And of course use the bell almost continuously.

Change due in early 2012 according to the article (don't know why I had Oct 2011 in my mind). I thought there wer other changes but it just talks about motorcyclist requirements.

These use to be the rules years ago. The first one is definitely better in my opinion.

People who are not talented athletes who run Marathons!

I used to admire people who ran in such events because of the stamina and strength of mind that it tkes to complete one but no I am convinced that more people do it for the props they receive on Facebook and the likes rather than the feat of endurance that a Marathon is meant to be.

I wish I could run.

(Edit: The kids run a lot faster in Grade 11 than Grade 10, and they switch play between sides a lot more too. Quite a challenge to keep up)

Nah, can' t be any worse than it already is. What I don't understand is why we've made so much of the road code optional. If we made it compulsory for all road users then.... *stops before huge rant starts*
