Come on, England !!!

I know. I tell you, it's top quality when you deal with the four-wheel
safety Nazis.

They're all ignorant prats, you know.

You know what *never* ceases to amaze me? Most bikers also drive cars.
Why can they not understand this?

You, unless by "names nor numbers" you excluded "A" and "B" roads
without telling us first.

 

I don't think it would stand up in court.

 

But then again, there could be a stiff sentence.

 

Depends what tactics you're prepared to use...

 

Good point.

 

It has uprated suspension to make it handle better (apparently they
handle quite well, not that I'd care to find out) not to assist it in
towing over a metric tonne. As for 'foreign tat' I call either

a) Troll
b) Comedian

It's an old Honda design. Not bad in it's day. Then Rover started
building it badly, bolting on plastic, and upping the BHP. They *are*
quite quick. They *do* handle OK, but there's no escaping what they are.

The only 'foreign tat' recycling 20 year old designs have the decency to
sell them cheap, while MG/Rover continued to delude themselves that they
were a premium brand a cut above the likes of Ford or GM.

 

the last one I tried to recussitate said rather less

like they were saying :

Use a proper UseNet reader, then...

 

Depends how many artics are involved.

The bloke who landed at Carver Barracks, Abingdon must have been
pooing himself. He cleared a row of racing cars by all of about
20 feet.

Which other roads are numbered (apart from those on a few industrial
estates)?

 

John & Lisa () gurgled happily, sounding
much like they were saying :

Ha! You're funny...

So I must have imagined the Volvo S40 facing the wrong way on the A1 a
couple of years ago, with the rear wheels 3ft in the air - because the
towbar was still attached to the caravan that was on it's side?

Or the Volvo 740 a couple of years before that, on the M6, with a caravan
chassis neatly resting on the roof rack, and about an acre of shredded
chipboard and underwear all over the verge and three lanes?

Or the umpteen caravans that I've seen snaking badly, or with utterly
shredded tyres, or...

were saying :

It certainly was at Hyde Park Corner on Saturday afternoon...

Bloody hilarious, all that lobster-pink flesh on display.

 

SD () gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

You haven't met McKev before, have you?

He's a lovely chap. Thinks nothing of using his artic to ram cars, then
getting out to beat the driver up if he suspects that they might not be
giving him automatic right of way. Google for it, he's been quite proud of
it in the past.

 

Football isn't a sport for a neutral observer. You have to care who
wins, and then it's totally different. Going to a few matches will
always help forge an allegiance that may well stick with you for life.
Watching it on TV distances you too much from the atmosphere for it to
grab you.

 

Very true- in fact, I did, many years ago, and rightly so.

Sounds like a typical neanderthal jock to me.

 

We had a glider land on a disused airfield we were using for some radar
trials. Luckily they went under the 25kV wire we had stretched across the
runway.

They got dead arsey when we wouldn't let a tow plane land and pull him off
again.

But not as arsey as when the Chieftain tank we were pointing the radar at
slid to a stop a few feet from his oh-so-delicate wing...
