One of my coffee mugs is emblazoned with the logo....."Keep calm, you grumpy old git."

Rant;

- People who say "it's always in the last place you look". Of course it is, if you find it and then keep looking then you have serious problems that years of intensive therapy won't even be able to help with.

And redundancies like "ATM machine", "PIN number", "report back", and "chainmail".

Car/van drivers:
most don't look or stop at roundabouts, on my daily commute to work some A-hole usually comes close to hitting me
those who try to excuse their inability to drive competently by saying "motorbikes are dangerous" no, you are dangerous
the idiots who still believe that motorcycles filtering through traffic is illegal
those who use hand held mobile phones when driving car/van
screen was nozzles that are aligned so that they miss the windscreen completely, hitting me in the face driving behind
those who overtake and don't give enough room to cyclists or horses
those who sit behind me in a 20mph zone flashing/tooting their horn at me as I obey the speed limit near schools
those who fail to see a red light and slam into the back of motorbikes who have stopped - a friends husband was killed by such a c***
I'll stop here as I need to go to work today...

All vehicle license holders should have to retake their tests ever 5 years - pass or be banned until you do
Post test training should be made compulsory for all vehicle owners, failure to do so will result in points and then a ban

I ride a motorbike if you hadn't already guessed

Been taken off my motorbike twice by numpties not looking; despite lights, hi viz jacket, white helmet

Hate hate hate hate hate middle lane hoggers!  Move over!!!

Still think you need to differentiate between chain mail and plate mail.

You can. They're mail and plate. If you suffer from the redundant syllables disease of a trans-Atlantic nation that we shall in courtesy not name, you could try writing out a thousand times "It's not an elevator, it's a lift."

Dendra is plate, Milanese and Gothic are plate mail.

Chain mail, plate mail, plate or mail...who cares.  Words are used for communication and to be understood.

PLATE mail and CHAIN mail remove confusion, so........there

Evidently I have been lifted to a higher plain. Very heavy though in my redundant Hollywood chain mail.

What about junk mail?

Worn by Chinese sailors in the C15th I believe.

As life jackets. I've heard that medieval men at arms left their chain-mail off to help with floating....
