    Why can't the BBC stream in something other then poxy spy-ware infested[1]
    Real player?

    [1] maybe it isn't, but I *hate* programs that install automatic popup
    reminders about shit I don't want.

    That's the problem with those statistics, because they're per mile
    travelled and motorcycles travel less miles, they get skewed in favour
    of the other road users.

    I like the way the anti tried to say that a motorcycle is more likely
    to hurt someone when they get hit by one than any other vehicle.

    Shame he's the guy in charge of Transport 2000 who should be seeing
    motorcycles as a solution to his problem rather than a problem.

    97% of statistics are made up on the spot, you know. Just like this
    one.

    I can't see them agreeing, somehow. I really fancy ringing up to say
    that Harleys are shite and slow as ****, that scooterboys are the
    fuckwitted annoying twats in general, that Novaboys are far more
    irritating in many ways and that the fuckwit consultant is going to
    get nine laceholes if he doesn't start to live in the real world.

    You couldn't make it up if you tried, could you?

    I love this country. Teetotallers in charge of licencing, gay ministers
    resposible for family planning, non-drivers in charge of transport (Stephen
    Buyers, I think - thank God he's gone).

    We certainly know how to choose people with the right experience for these
    important jobs. That's obviously why we let paedophiles run children's
    homes.

    Anyone want to see van Hookstraten (spellin?) as minister for housing?
    Ernest Saunders for Chancellor?

    Byers did appear to be a ****, but what's wrong with having a non-driver in
    charge of transport?
