Given that most of the sensible answers are gone, how about using them
for moving catapult target practice?

"The Saltash College student was riding at a speed of 20 to 30 mph
without a crash helmet when he fell off.

He suffered serious head injuries and died in hospital a week after the
accident on 3 February, 2002. "


Stupid little wheels on them probably caught in a rut and threw him off.
He was a **** for not wearing head protection, though.

The main problem I see with these neat little gadgets is that numpties
think they're cool (just like the scooters they had as kids, but with
engines) and tend to regard them as toys.

Ffs, falling off a bicycle at 20 or 30 mph can kill you. I can
understand the mother, in her grief, latching on to the goped as the
thing to blame; but in reality, it was her idiot son who killed himself
by his carelessness.

Suppose one of them ends up a terminal bonnet ornament and you did nothing?

So, you do 6 ........ Which is like 4 except you shove an anonymous note
through sprog senior's door which says
* this is what I saw (as e-mail to group)
* these things are against the law
* I care fk all about the law but I do care about squidge brats and beside
it might be my motor they go under
* stop them or I inform plod and they don't just stop 'em they might impound
the things and prosecute sprogs &/or you

Alternatively you could make a citizen's arrest, nick the scooter thing of
'em and bring it on selected FOTs for us to try round the pub carpark?

Option 2 with a video on the end of the camera. When the kiddie augers into
the front of a 4x4, bang the tape off to "You've Been Framed". Sorted.

 

Or, thinking about it, to IQ18.

 

One thing you have forgotten!
'shoot the little bastards'.
I have fell off my bike(s) on numerous occasions (not too many) and, believe
me, one of the most painful was at less than 30mph. Had one at 100+ and
bounced!!! ok it hurt but!!!
(track is different!!!!!)

 

You, on the other hand have forgotten to snip the previous post(s) to
which you are replying - and to snip my sig out.

So is punctuation - when done properly.

 

Maybe it's over-exposure to Swiss people, but I think I'd ten d
towards the latter. Ask for their advice on dealing with the
situation, rather than simply trying to get them to come and stop it,
then maybe they';; be able to send domeone round for a quiet word?

Or am I putting far too much faith in Bedfordshire's finest?

 

It seems that I won't have to do anything. One of the sprogs was out
on Friday evening and narrowly avoided being squished by Loz in
Bloovan - since then, no sign. As I don't know exactly which house(s)
they're from, I can't do anything until I track them back - so that's
it, hopefully.

Definitely. They're not the best ...

I'll get the **** next time. I really didn't see him coming up the road
towards me. He was hugging the side of a few parked cars further ahead
and when he got to the open part he came straight across my path. It
wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad if his mate on a bicycle hadn't
been hanging off the back getting a tow up the road.

Next time I'll go at the twat and give him a gentle nudge, then see what
happens when plod arrives.
