It is a derogatory term for those smaller engined, big exhaust, air-intake, fake dump valve "souped up" little Japanese cars ;)

Also, "Rice Burner" is (IIRC) the American term for what used to be known over here as "Jap crap" - any Japanese motorcycle.
 
WAMT: Waking up to a very quiet house, it is weird not having my wife and children around. Just me and my hairy four footer. Never thought I would say it, but I need some noise, I'm missing three different dance tunes going all at once at volume 11 etc. All very strange and quiet with them at the other side of the world...

Yes its strange at first but you'll get used to it, its quite pleasant really, all the noise I get these days is #1 son killing something or other with his egg box.
Then I just tell him to plug his beats in, sorted :thumbs:
 
"Road Safety" measures... While I can see that the high friction surfaces that are the current fashion at zebra and pelican crossings, surely it's a positive hazard when they're newly laid and the road surface is left covered in fine grit rather than the excess being swept up? Bad enough in a car but close to lethal on a bike. Luckily I knew that the problem existed so took the "dry" line through the detritus. Would help if there were any signs warning of the hazard.

And of course those wired barriers ( Cable barrier?) on M-ways and Duel carriageways, just waiting to decapitate some unsuspecting M/Cyclist ;)

<treble pedant> Middlesex hasn't existed as a county for 40 odd years. It got split into bits going to greater London, Surrey and Hertfordshire </treble pedant off>

Well b****r my old boots as my dad used to say, I never know that!

A child without roots

And yet there are so many sports clubs with the Prefix Middx.
They need to get with the times too!

The lazy ******** who littered a local football field yesterday. I live close to an area that is used for football at weekends. There is usually a fair bit of litter left after games and I've often wondered why there are no litter bins around the pitches.

Yesterday morning a sports group/organisation was setting up for a competition and I was pleased to see every pitch had two dustbins for litter and there were other bins around too. This morning when I took the dog out there were piles of litter all over the place. Why are some folks so ****ing lazy? Given the number of bins it would have been difficult to walk more than about 50m without passing one, but some could not manage that and just dropped their litter where they stood.

I see it all the time around MacD's and the like, they open their car doors and drop the rubbish, before making the jump to light speed.
Food waste attracts rats, and as a pestie, I feel its my civic duty to inform them of this fact, and thank them for keeping me in work :thumbs:

Not good, but on a happier note it is raining, not good weather for a walk.

Depends whether he has a dog or not, as you are aware they are a 365 days / year commitment for walkies :D

Whilst I wouldn't want you to loose work I just don't understand people like that. Do they ever think about the concequences, do they think the fairies pick it up? Do they think about this when moaning about council tax being so high?

But ultimately why s*** in your own backyard? It doesn't cost anything to keep it in your pocket or car and put in the bin when at home or at a service station. We can reduce our expenditure and have a nice clean environment. Yes we can have our cake and eat it. Yet many are so stupid they don't even realise they are doing it.
