Rant rant rant: vintage cars and the Top 50

First of all, vintage cars SUCK. Yes they really do. I was trying to get home from the south coast yesterday in a decent amount of time, no intention of speeding, just a safe speed slightly under the limit to save petrol. There was this really annoying non-descript truck (with a concealed number plate I might add) that went at a decent speed on a straight flat bits, then crawled up hills. There were about twenty cars behind it, mine being one of them. So, to replicate the success of a short-cut I had taken coming down on Thursday, I zipped off through a side-street in Braidwood.

BAD MOVE!

Worse short-cut ever!

I, along with several others who decided to follow, got stuck behind a horse and carriage! Hello! Why the HELL would you go on a horse and carriage in BRAIDWOOD???? Why? We have cars! It'll spoil the experience for you when you really want to go on a horse and carriage in Vienna (home of Inspector Rex), Salzburg, or somewhere equally romantic and Austrian, when you are pining for some clop clop on cobblestones.

To make it worse, being stuck behind the horse and carriage gave time for a whole FLEET of VINTAGE CARS to pull out onto the single-lane highway between Braidwood and Canberra. What is WRONG with these people? These cars are DANGEROUS. Go and drive on your own roads!!! What if I was trying to ge to the airport on time? What if I had a woman in labour in my car? You get in the way and people are already driving like nutcases on Easter Sunday and here you are, getting in the way in your little "hobbies." You might say I like vintage cars, you like Swedish pop music, each to their own. Well no, it doesn't work like that, because your hobby annoys thousands of other road users. Mine doesn't, I have the windows shut, thank you very much.

Now for the Top 50. I've decided to class the current ARIA singles chart into "Shit", "Not quite as shit" and "Not really very shit at all" categories. Just for fun.
