My favourite part of the second one is that they manage to pull off a flawless three-point-turn after seeing that coming.

I prefer to think qrpth is actually a NON-sentient Estonian spambot who is very, VERY well programmed to be undetectable as a spambot. So well programmed for low-detectability that it's not actually spamming.
(And guys? This is why you doesn't check the profile before you accuse. qrpth's profile is a solid indicator of a genuine person despite the name: Multiple posts with intelligent contextual discussion, and an actual LRR video as first video.)
Welcome to the forums, qrpth!

I dislike roundabouts at the best of times.

Oh, I can see the lane markings; it still looks like an absolute clusterfuck.

That is the Magic Roundabout in Swindon. The Headington Roundabout does look to have some...questionable design features though.

Re: For the lols
My mum used to live around the Magic Roundabout, and it is apparently very easy to drive around: you pick which exit you want, and then drive pretty much in a straight line stopping at all the lines, not going too quickly and going with the flow- it's pretty simple to not crash. You can even, or so I am told, drive straight across the middle. The only confusion arises from the fact that one proceeds clockwise (in the usual British fashion) around the little islands yet anticlockwise around the secondary one: this problem was fixed when the simplified variant was built in Hemel Hempstead by taking the middle bit out, but this makes it far slower.
Headington's problem arises from the fact that it's about 30% roundabout, 45% junction and 5% eldritch demon that means trying to go simply go round the thing is impossible (you get directed into lane too early) and going across it like you're sort of supposed to means you always cut someone off. It doesn't help that there's little to no feed-in system, so you always start off in the wrong lane too- or if you don't, the guy next to you does.
For some reason, roundabouts are the only thing my dad gets patriotic about. He's incredibly proud that they're a British invention.

If you don't know who Greg Ayres is, he is a somewhat prolific voice actor in anime. His biggest roles would probably be Chrono from Chrono Crusade and Negi from Negima. He likes to tell this story of a con he attended once upon on a time.
During the opening ceremonies, he mentioned something about yaoi, and said something that alluded as to what it was. An older woman, probably in her 40s, rose up in a back row, and yells, "What does yaoi mean?" He explains in as g-rated terms as he can, and about halway in, she grabs something on her shirt, rips it off, and storms out. Later on, he finds out from her daughter, that they were there together, and she was kind of chaperoning her around. The mom was of strict conservative upbringing, and her daughter had convinced her to buy and wear a I <3 YAOI button in order to stick it to her for being condescending, and judgemental. She had told her that Yaoi was a sort of MENSA for kids that meant Young, Achieving, Outgoing Intellectuals, and it was a group that she was a part of.

It totally wasn't until I read this post that I realised Ix actually meant "correct lane". *sad facepalms*

So I got nostalgic about an online 'game-within-a-game' I used to play (INCIT; competitive demotivational-making on a time limit), and was skimming through the archives - here's one I won a round with; apparently I was just pre-cognizant:

I don’t know why Frank insisted on bringing me to this dinner party, I don’t even know what to talk about and everyone’s already having a conversation, it’d be awkward to butt in. A steakhouse? Really? I’m a pescetarian, Frank. We’ve known each other ten years. Nobody’s even bothered to comment on my coat or offered a tummy rub. Your friends are shit, Frank.
And...

Not sure if anyone's seen this yet, but this is a legit Google Earth pic of the Christian Science Society building in Dixon, Illinois.
I'm just gonna leave that right there.
