ETA: I prefer pork in my sausage rolls. I actually made pork fennel and apple sausage rolls today for tomorrow's monthly birthday breakfast at work. They're my favourite, and always a hit.

I got the demo for this when it was on a Steam Next Fest, bought it immediately on release, and finished it in one sitting. Good game. I haven't looked, but I bet the speed run videos of this game are mental.

There's also a level editor, so pretty much infinite content.

The Funniest Joke of the Fringe?

I'm not a fan of the new pound coin, but then again, I hate all change.

Not a lunatic.

I started reading Bill Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words last night, and apparently that phrase doesn't mean what we think it means, although you may be using it correctly here.

exception proves the rule, the. : A widely misunderstood expression. As a moment’s thought should confirm, it isn’t possible for an exception to confirm a rule — but then, that isn’t the sense that was originally intended. Prove here is a “fossil” — that is, a word or phrase that is now generally meaningless except within the confines of certain sayings ( hem and haw, rank and file , and to and fro are other fossil expressions). Originally prove meant test (it comes from the Latin probare , “to test”), so “the exception proves the rule” meant — and really still ought to mean — that the exception tests the rule. The original meaning of prove is preserved more clearly in two other expressions: proving ground and the proof of the pudding is in the eating

Good book.

Safety

For the most part maintaining a safe following distance, and not driving too fast for conditions will prevent 99.9% of such incidents, but I do agree that in the rare occasions when reactions times are at a premium such as a branch falling on the road right in front of you, or an animal darting out of some bushes, indicators should be less of a priority than braking/evading. Violently swerving is almost always a bad idea without shedding as much speed as you can first, though, and even then it's probably better to just hit the object, unless it's a child, rather than risk a roll-over.

That's not what you said though. You said 'something the car before you swerved around'.

Edit: Yeah, your downvote just tells me you're a shit driver.
