Cars to avoid at all cost

1. Any car with badly fitted bit of plastic.

2. Any car with over sized exhaust pipes.

3. Any car with any signs of accident damage.

4. Any car with those little blue lights.

5. Any car with lights underneath them.

6. Any car with loud rap-music blearing out of them.

7. Any car with any occupants wearing base-ball caps.

8. Any car with dirty number plates.

9. Any car that wants to tail-gate you.

10. People carriers & 4wheel drives.

11. Any car with private plates with reg wording like 'TAZ ####', #### TAN'

My advice is to avoid them at all cost(they are the worse drivers on the
road).

 

Those are northern irish plates, you lemon, not private plates.

The advice stands though, natch.

 

I recommend avoiding any cars with bumper stickers saying "Dogging
(for pleasure and profit) - enquire within".

 

you forgot some

12 all silver cars

13 all volvo's

14 all cars with kids

15 all cars with drivers talking on the phone, hands free or otherwise

16 all bmw's

17 all micra's

18 all non hgv vans

19 all 4wd's (esp if towing anything)

etc

 

20. Any cars driven by bloke wearing a trilby

21 All People Carriers

mentioning again)

22 All cars towing caravans

Is anyone not seeing his posts, which might be a good thing. I've not
set up a kill file for him so are the Germans blocking him or
something ?

Some people are like slinkys....
no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!

 

any car driven by people who use apostrophes on a plural word

 

All Volvo's what?

All Volvo's car's[1]?

All BMW's what?

All BMW's car's[1], bike's[1] and heated jacket's[1]?

etc

Dave

[1] Yes, I know, it is deliberate.

 

You are allowed an apostrophe in the plural of a lower case acronym,
especially as Des isn't here to contradict me!
The question is whether BMW can be lower case.

 

Missing some of them, which is nice. I'd still like to know how he gets
tailgated on a bike.

Cool, he'll avoid my bike with its Paddy-plate then. Everyone's a
winner.

Apostrophes in Plural Nouns.

 

Never heard of him.

So TLA's with apostrophes it is then

No. I sha'n't be apostrophizing any upper case TLAs.

 

Dice?

 

I think he means "pluraliziated".
