dixit Cab: bloody sarkozy. the man is like portillo on steroids. i can't believe he's being nominated for prime minister. i get that "le pen stands a fighting chance of being president" icy hand in my guts. anyway, i expect they will end up alongside the previous camera experiments, at least in this region. id est, perforated by chasseur shot or something closely resembling it. nobody paid any attention to the law about the length of cipher keys anyway. actually that's not true, there was des...
Very true, eh. I never thought about him and Portillo being of the same vein. However, now you come to mention it...
By the look of "Gatso Alley" along the A40 going into Chelters, he's been quite busy, actually. Five or six of the fucking revenoo scameras all along nice fast straight straights just waiting for you - all burned or bent or otherwise savaged. There's a couple of them featured here: http://www.speedcam.co.uk/gatso2.htm Fair warmed the old cockles, it did ;-)
Champ wibbled like a little girl.... Like the one in Milton Keynes that I *didn't* see today, mainly because it looks like someone's gas-axed it and had it away with the whole camera box It was worth driving at 30mph just to see the nice work they'd done. -- Lozzo ZZR1100D, GPZ500S, CB250RS x3.

SPEED CAMERA STAFF 'ABUSED' Speed camera operators are being subjected to increasing levels of abuse from road users, an employer has said. Paul Stephens, operations manager of the Avon, Somerset and Gloucestershire Safety Camera Partnership, said the abuse was getting "out of control." He said his staff had been pelted with eggs and verbally abused, adding that one member of staff was on long-term sick leave because of stress at work. -- Platypus - Faster Than Champ VN800 Drifter, R80RT DIAABTCOD#2 GPOTHUF#19 BOTAFOS#6 BOTAFOT#89 FTB#11 BOB#1 SBS#35 ANORAK#18 TWA#15
Using the patented Mavis Bacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Platypus Well I regard it as a moral imperative to treat the cunts in the "safety camera" vans to a nice juicy KSB as I pass them. I like to feel it marks my appreciation of their efforts.
That site has a green wax crayon air about it, can't put my finger on it but it just has IYKWIM... Nevertheless, rather than go to all the effort of noisy grinders, identifiable lorries etc. I thought of a quick, easy and destructive method of disabling the ones on dual carriageways. Using a gunpowder powered nail gun (readily available, but I can't get a link to HSS) with the most powerful cartridge fire nail/nails into the lens and radar windows. The guns are powerful enough to drive the nails through the armour into the actual delicate cameras and detectors.
^^^^^ Where's that then? I'd have expected you , of all people, to spell it correctly. Yes, there are some fixed cameras, although there's a web-site and a phone-line giving details of their location. I got nicked by a temporary one in town recently (62 in a 50). Can't remember the fine, but it wasn't much, perhaps something like chf100. But no points or anything, no. Interesting, however, was the fact that there was no option to claim 'it wasn't me driving'. I guess with no points system they just fine the owner regardless.
And your point is? just because it's quite a common mis-spelling doesn't make it any better. After 11 years in CH I thought you'd be the last person to do this.
Leave it to the professionals: tape a bundle of candles, wire, bodge tape and a cheap alarm clock to the front of the thing. Bomb Squad gets called out and they take the fucker out with a controlled explosion.
