"What about those pesky scateboarders?"

I have 5 outstanding cases against those pesky skateboarders. No win, no fee basis, of course. Nearly frightened me to death they did!

And there was a pair of kiddies playing hopscotch on a pavement down my street. Bastards!

Cheers

Just to redress the balance a bit, purely in the interests of fair play of course.











I know some are not UK, but bad driving is no respecter of national boundaries.

As a former ADI I would concur with this. One reason I stopped was because I felt I wasn't teaching people how to drive as a life-skill but merely doing whatever was necessary to get them through a 30 minute test.

[quote]PS Sam, I see that you have been attending the David Johnson school of "Thread dissection" when replying to posts. I think you can look forward to a "Pass with Distinction" from DJ in the near future! If you look above, I have taken the liberty of pre-dissecting my post for your convenience, all you need do now is copy and paste and simply fill in the gaps[/quote]

First it was about Clarkson and you agreeing with him about speeding. When I show you Clarkson's a bit of a div for his belief (and thus your belief too) you turn it to being specifically about rogue cyclists (who I really have no quarrel with you about).

Now it's about the way I reply to your posts! !shrug!

[quote]Surely, Mr. Slater invented "thread dissection?"[/quote]

No, but I do do it with a certain panache that's hard to imitate.

If only Mr. Clarkson took up the skateboard.........and hopscotch.

"No, but I do do it with a certain panache that's hard to imitate".

Yeeesssss, thankfully.

That's not fair, andy. You cherry-picked the worst out of the world's nice motorists and ignored the swathes of evil 'veggy'-eating cyclists who go around leaving tyre marks over old ladies' foreheads!

Shame on you!

Curse you Sam Slater, my evil plan unmasked. Grrr.

David, you may be flippant about Mr Slip and my own moans about crazy
cyclists. It is true that Jim and I could have our own "grumpy old men"
TV show and even turn it into a porn film ! But the next time I see
you getting worked up on this forum about some aspect of modern
society that pisses you off, I will try and respond with the same mildly
sacrcastic and irreverent quip !!
