Some absolute tosser has spent the day tearing around the area in his orange Lamborghini. While I appreciate his taste in vehicles, I don’t appreciate the fact that the offensively-loud engine is drowning everything out – comparable to the planes going over from London City Airport – for the 2 seconds he has to speed up between speed bump and traffic lights and/or roundabout.

For the uninitiated, a spear tackle is a dangerous tackle in rugby where a player is picked up by an opposing tackler, then turned so that they are upside down. And plonked on their head. (more…)
