    Okay, okay, we get it. You don't like the UK.

    tolerated.

    I'm glad we don't have that kind of crap here. What plod has done though
    was kinda nice. We have changeable message boards on the freeways. The
    current is: SHARE THE ROAD LOOK TWICE FOR MOTORCYCLISTS[1].

    The signs only display capital letters.

    At least the UK doesn't use teams of hitmen that pretend to be
    innocent people from other countries (ironically olim like Des
    considers himself to be) to take out political enemies.

    They already are in Poland, I think at least a year. I kept forgetting
    and being flashed by other cars.

    Like in the US?:

    "I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white
    washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it
    will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that
    stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government
    reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake
    up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless
    minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying
    to believe it wasn't so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the
    only answer."

  8. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, 'Hog
    I was mildly tickled the other day to see a fire engine with more
    flashing lights than "Close Encounters" and a siren that would have
    woken the dead being badly balked on a roundabout.

    By an ambulance with no lights on at all.

    We have "Think Bike" signs on gantries. The problem is, it usually
    makes drives think "I hate those fucking bikers swanning through
    traffic while I'm sat here late for my meeting".

    Don't talk fucking wet.
    I've got a pal in the armed response uint and he says "Don't talk fucking
    wet"
    You mean it's not?
    Yeah, move to a kibbutz on the outskirts of Buttfuck Jerusalem.

    Because they're usually pretty good at covering their tracks.
    But occasionally, they **** up and do something stupid.
    Really? Now that's a fucking surprise, you thinking that.
    Send me a copy of the last page 23 so I can read it, will you?
    At last, a proper admission.

    And they really do too. One (a taxi driver) even shouted "**** OFF" at me at
    the top of his voice as I rolled up towards his rear (f'narr) on the
    motorway. He was glaring like a fucking lunatic at me while I trundled along
    doing all of 5 mph, which was just slow enough to allow me to spot who was
    doing the shouting. I stopped and opened his rear passenger door and said
    "Sorry, did you say something"? then waddled of up lane 2.5.

    The poor fucker was almost at the point of having a heart attack and I made
    it necessary for him to get out of his car to close it. Actually, I think he
    was probably amused.

  16. Is that why the Dubai cops have arrested two ex-Fatah operatives?

    Pip took a blunt brush and painted...
    I know what I'd say to them. I'd give them a long, loud earful about how it
    doesn't matter what you wear, or your lights are on, there's still plenty of
    drivers out there who just refuse to see you and try to drive straight though
    you.

    And a high viz jacket will make sod all difference.

    And they should save their money from this and put it to use doing random
    checks on driver awareness, banning those who fail.

    I would probably have a very friendly but extremely well-informed discussion
    about the issues supposedly being addressed. This would have the effect of
    a) raising plod awareness of the average motorcyclist's understanding of the
    issues under discussion, and b) wasting police time.

    It takes two friendly and well-informed people to have a very friendly
    but extremely well-informed discussion, and it doesn't work when one side
    is either very stupid or doesn't believe the crap he has to spout.
    You have a better chance of a good debate with the Jehovah's Witnesses
    at your front door.

    I have *almost* got some Jehovah witnesses to agree with me that they
    were actually worshipers of a sun god.

    They left with one dragging the other possible sun god worshiper away.

    I considered that a good well-informed debate with a positive outcome!
