    Yeah, that's the one. My son e-mailed it to me. Look's 'faked'
    (like so much on the 'internet') but as I told my son it reminded
    me of the accident I saw outside his school some years ago which
    was in some respects very similar.

    I wonder if anyone could say for certain, which of the many similar
    video's available over the internet are 'real' or 'faked', how
    'convincing' is this video?

    I can say with absolute certainty that the video clip in question is not
    real. It is a clip from the film "Meet Joe Black" (there's a clue in the
    title of the MPEG).

    HTH

    Oh well...here goes.......

    Can you, or anyone else, say with certainty, that any of the video
    images you have seen are 'real' and an accurate depiction of actual
    events?

    I know bloody well what a Quasar is. Calling me a c*nt is an open
    admission that you have lost the argument,

    Sad to say mate that really is not the case, that genuinely was a Class
    1 perfect example of TOG calling you a ****.

    Another admission of failure to carry your argument, i.e. another
    groundless insult

    Granted it could be described as a groundless insult but it is hardly an
    admission of failure is it now?

    I mean, there are those who would say that the old geezer has set off an
    itch up your arse that ain't just the crabs. That alone would be enough
    to get him an endorsement on his trolling old git certificate.

    'Course it is all a matter of perspective really innit?

    Well, if he's just trolling then that could be regarded as a success, but
    that's like succeeding at being an idiot. Not very challenging, is it?

    Just goes to show how little you really know dunnit eh?

    You ask anybody, I am a kin roaring success at being an idiot I am and
    it costs me *all* my effort to achieve this. It is the hardest work I
    have ever done I can tell you that.

    Not very challenging?

    Plonker.

    Well, of course if you really are an idiot then almost anything could be
    challenging.

  18. Yes, but if a vehicle is over 610kgs it cannot be taxed as a
    motorcycle at all. According to DVLA it is no longer a motorcycle at
    all! As such, with PLG tax, no helmet need be worn. Also, folk tend to
    forget, this particular sidecar combination complies with all of the
    DVLA specs for a 'hearse.' It is therefore a hearse in legal terms,
    albeit a three wheeled hearse, rather than a bike. Top hats may
    therefore be worn rather than helmets.

    Try 410kg - I dont know where you got 610kg from. As for being a
    hearse? You need to do a lot more digging than that I`m afraid!
    Might be worth avoiding top-posting as well!
