      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?

                  I think we drive on the correct side. When one knows whos one great-great-great-grandfather was and who he killed - lots of bloody foreigners dontchaknow - one can make up the rules. The fact that half of the world ignores the very good example we set is neither Woking nor Nuneaton. It has something to do with coach drivers and whips or swords or small boys or something.

                    In the UK real beer is drank by civilised chaps that can read newspapers with long words in them. Lager is drank by shell-suited yobs with tatoos, grazed knuckles and IQs lower than their shoe size. . . . Not unlike your stereotypical Australian in fact ;-) Andy B

                        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[^]

                            Direction is very important while driving. Most people are right handed. Therefore driving on the left makes sense as it means that your right hand is the one that stays on the steering wheel while changing gear.

Has anybody get any better ideas, or shall I just stick to ranting about ranting?

                                I have to think really hard which side we drive on sometimes. It's either old age or gin. [BTW aren't you due to your MOT soon? I'm sure it's around the same time as what I is]

                                  ooo fascinating. On the point brought up by Nagy Vilmos, I googled the origin of this driving behaviour, and I got this (mind you its not me who asked the question on Yahoo Answers): Yahoo Answer[^]

                                        Ok the UK lets see - your public transport is the most expensive anywhere - especially out Chelmsford way - taxis, these are shite, nearly as bad a Sydney taxis - oh yeah you have a really funny idea that lager != beer - the white cliffs are grey - who carves, and who the bloody hell maintains a horse outline on a hill, duh and always a favorite (I hate US spell checkers), headhunters are lying, thieving dogs, sorry dogs.

                                        Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

                                        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 :)
