Where does it say in the Spanish Highway Code, that it is perfectly correct to creep past another vehicle, pull in at bonnet's length and then immediately slow down?

Where does it say in the Spanish Highway Code, that it is perfectly correct to overtake another vehicle, cut sharply in front, brake heavily and then exit the road at the very next exit only a few metres ahead?

I've picked up on a new signal - the meaning of the arm dangling out of the window - whilst the other arm is engaged with steering, gear-changing, holding the cigarette and texting. The dangling arm, means: a) I do NOT have airconditioning in this vehicle, or b) I DO have airconditioning in this vehicle, but it is not working.

Finally, Indicators. These are fitted to be used at Christmas time only, as they look pretty and festive for that time of year.

I guess that the only way to capture the Spanish Wacky Races, is to film it via a DashCam. There is even a FaceBook page set up for exactly that. Take a look - SpanishDashcams

 We have undertaken this journey several times - Manchester to Murcia and return

Others have advised a variety of routes - it's a case of: 'you pays yer money and yer takes your choice:.

The only advice I can give is:

1) Take regular breaks

and 

2) Use Eurotunnel rather than a ferry. Cheaper prices + Only 30mins from Folkestone/Calais + Speedy loading/unloading (minutes!) + You sit in your car + Trains every 20 minutes + NO RELIANCE ON WEATHER CONDITIONS...!!

Assuming of course that San Javier remains open when Corvera becomes operational - which looks highy unlikely with 70million Euros on the table..!!

 The point is, that the extreme language used  about men who choose to dress in a certain way, would never be tolerated if used in a similar way about women - the charge of sexism would be applied immediately, and these double standards are endemic in society at the moment - hence the 'sense of humour bypass'.

As you must be a hell of a good dresser to have so many opinions on other people, maybe you would post a pic of yourself, so we can all be impressed, or laugh, whichever we feel appropriate.

 

Normally, I would consider myself FAR, FAR too good a dresser for my picture to be pasted here. In the past it caused SO much envy amongst men, that they would immediately discard their 'wife-beaters', budgie-smugglers and black socks - leaving us with nothing to laugh at. And not to leave the ladies out (for fear of being branded a sexist) - PLEASE continue to wear exceedingly tight lycra and those 'Bikini's for the Aged' - People sometimes need to be reminded of the need NOT to wear either.........!

So, against my better judgement:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See? Absolutely stunning.!

 

p.s. Sorry that they are out of shot - but I am wearing my Swiss driving-skis.

My oh my..! Who have had a Sense Of Humour, malfunction? 

Yes, you could catagorise LADIES of a 'certain age' who insist on wearing bikini's best suited to teenagers, as being 'ill-advised'. The answer to 'Does my bum look big in this'? must surely be 'No, not at all - your bum is already big - regardless'!

People-watching at Airports would indicate that a large number of individuals, fail to view themselves in a mirror before being seen in public - either that, or they fail to put a light on whilst they get dressed..!!

Shopping for their annual holiday would appear to be completed at the infamous 'Dress Me Like A Prostitute' shops, younger versions shop at 'Lycra for Hookers'.

The ability for some to be able to walk and breathe at the same time, remains a complete mystery.

God knows how they managed to book a flight and get to an Airport...!!!

Smile - it is called 'Observational Humour'
