He is doing what's called 'carb rinsing' :) It's a big thing in sport

All that spitting during the World Cup could be something called 'carb rinsing' — here's the science behind it

Football players might be rinsing their mouths out with a carbohydrate solution, then spitting it out without swallowing it. According to some exercise and nutrition scientists, this can trick your body into thinking energy is coming, so your muscles work harder.

Just being my usual contentious self. Not a fan of footy but plenty of sports I do enjoy.
 
I personally think there is more important jobs that deserve that kind of money
 
Lockdown rant.

Has anyone else noticed a huge increase in other drivers doing the following?
  • Driving on the wrong side of the road;
  • Driving one wheel each side of the white line;
  • Taking blind bends on the wrong side of the road;
  • Cutting corners when turning into a road;
  • Parking in farm entrances;
  • Fly tipping;
  • Parking in passing places on single track roads.
I can't work out if it's people who almost never drive but now that they are on furlough have decided to do the wrong things and spend all day driving around the countryside or if it's people who think there'll be no one around so they can just do what they like. Either way it's very annoying.
 
Actually YES, I have nearly been wiped out several times recently which, when you consider I am doing very few miles at the moment, is ridiculous.
Rather that wait, when turning right, they just turn and use the wrong side of the road they are turning into. Very dangerous.
Fly tipping was very bad but is getting better as our local tips have been opened.
But it does seem to be people think there are fewer cars on the road so they can do what they want and to hell with the consequences.
And what is it with indicators, or the lack of using them. I have followed cars for miles recently roundabouts, junctions, the lot and never indicate once.
Rant over for now!!
