Rant-o-Rama

Safety factors Research in 1969 by J. J. Leeming showed countries driving on the left have a lower collision rate than countries driving on the right. It has been suggested this is partly because humans are more commonly right-eye dominant than left-eye dominant.[18][19][20] In left-hand traffic, the predominantly better-performing right eye is used to monitor oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror. In right-hand traffic, oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror are handled by the predominantly weaker left eye. From Wiki for Page see Here[^]

J.J Leeming was born in 1899. I guess cars and trafic were not what they are today... ;P ;P ;P

Apart from the Jousting. In Jousting you hold the Lance in your RIGHT hand, and the tip goes to the LEFT hand side of the horse, and the opponent is on the left. The reason is that this gives you more of a balance, and the horse wont break it's neck when you hit the opponent. I know this because I joust!

Let me think, does it mean the jouster rides on the right side of the road? :omg:

It's Friday and time for a wee rant. Unfortunatly, any rant about computa stuff has been done to death; Thanks CG and JSOP. So what shall I rant about today? Some initial ideas are: - Luton airport really is pants, - Why is Cheese so shite [joke for the Hungarians], - It is suppost to be the summer and the weather is crud, or - Why ranting sucks. Has anybody get any better ideas, or shall I just stick to ranting about ranting?

Woo hoo, I have something to rant about! :) I try to bring some humour, fun, frolicks and Llamas into the lounge, and somebody gives me onesy. How very puril, it's like voting for the leftwing and then wondering where the servents have gone. Come on, own up! Who's Univoting, I am angry now, look: :badger:

i'm suprised to not find this (probably will get me uni-voted out into space): YOU DRIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!! (ah i remember the scene from Eurotrip, the double-decker bus in France :laugh: )

Not from where I learnt - Oz drive on the correct side of the road as well. I remember a particularly hairy experience leaving Charles de Gaulle and a roundabout some years ago, not to be repeated.

oh yeah you have a really funny idea that lager != beer
I believe the case is that all lagers are beers, but not all beers are lagers :) Personally I prefer a cold 'n frosty in the summer and a nice warm flat one in the winter :)

Nope, never could drink a warm flat one, I tried (large) number of different beers (as in warm flat) and never found a substitue fora cold frosty lager. Give me a beer with a head on it and a glass that frosts and I'm happy.

You have automatic gears? I prefer the ladies to know that it's manual here and not automatic.

Pah! It took me ages at a hotel in NL to get them trained to tip the glass and pour the beer slowly. I was paying for a glass of beer, not air! Iain.
I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww). If you're in Scandinavia and want an MVP on the payroll (or happy with a remote worker), or need cotract work done, give me a job! http://cv.imcsoft.co.uk/[^]
