People who smoke while they drive!
I was following one the other day who was casually flicking ash out the window as he drove through the centre of town. Pretty anti-social that, to be honest.
Is smoking while you drive not the same as texting and talking on cell phones while you drive? I mean, what happens if a smoker tips ash on themself while they're driving? Trouble...and a potential accident.
Why can't people who smoke and drive wait until they're out of their car before they light up? Surely no-one's really that addicted?

Mr President
It's the middle of December already and my promise in an earlier blog to write more regularly has well and truly fallen over. No matter. I'm sure I'll more than catch up in 2010.
At the recent Matamata Swifts AGM I was elected President of the club, which is a fairly logical move, I guess. Yep, the time is right for me to step out from under the cloaks of others and take up the primary leadership role. To be honest this is not a natural or entirely comfortable position for me, given my personality type and mode of operation, but they say if you believe in something enough you can do anything. So, here goes...
It's clear that in life, timing is everything, so I just hope I've got this one right. There is so much potential for football in the Matamata community, built on the back of the great work of many people over a number of years. I am confident that the management committee elected for 2010 is the best mix of administrative talent this club has ever had. It certainly is in the time I've been involved.
That potential, when turned into potent reality, should see the Swifts start to really fly across all levels. We're looking at an exciting facility development project and a much need coach and player development programme. Both those projects should see significant progress in 2010. We have the not insignificant challenge of re-entering the Northern League, re-branded as the Northern Region Football League (NRFL). And we're all waiting to see what sort of explosion there is going to be off the back of World Cup qualification.
It's my belief this club will be a very different beast in 12 months time. It can't not be.
