Having been slightly bitten by the bug, I thought I would try my second Snot rocket today (getting braver and trying one in BROAD DAYLIGHT now)



My sincerest apologies to the lady who was overtaking me at the time, I hope your left boot recovers soon:blush:

I had slowed down to prepare for ejection (that's my excuse for the scalping) and did a quick check behind, she must had been slipstreaming until the last moment as I didnt see her at all.

.....I'm so, so sorry...I'm a total rocket noob.


never again......

Is this a man thing? It's foul. I never ever feel the need to do this, or spit.

If I were that lady, I'd have been bloody mad at you.

No Arch, when it's deepest winter and/or I'm particularly snotty I do do them too.

Must just be me then.

If I'm snotty, the back of a glove is a handy wipe. I'm sure if I did try, I'd just end up with a string of something dangling out of my nose.

Yes that happens too :biggrin:- the glove is a safe bet for smaller volumes of snotxx(:biggrin:

+1

And it's not this man's thing.

I hate it, it's disgusting, it's like hawking and then spitting in the street. Nasty behaviour and unnecessary.

Can someone (tastefully) explain to me this whole 'snot rocket' thing?

You may have to use allegory and metaphor to avoid upsetting my polite sensibilities, though.

Blowing your nose without using a hanky or any other entrapment device!

Think of footballers spitting on-field, then think nasal.
