Been catching up on this thread -
Horses - Dangerous animals that can be spooked by a crisp packet in the hedge, never mind a bike or car, crap all over the road, the owners seem to think that we will be grateful and will shovel it up for our roses - Shouldn't be allowed on the road.
Newspapers - The only one i read is MCN, and then get angry when the try to whip up reactions by quoting the thoughts of some loony who wants all motorcyclists to wear a flashing beacon on their heads or something. The "proper" newspapers just aren't worth reading. I dont really want to know about a fooballer's latest indiscretion, or if they scored a goal, or if one team of overpaid dickheads beat some other dickheads in the only professional game where cheating is actually condoned - Winning a penalty by throwing yourself on the floor when no one touched you. NO, ITS CHEATING, THE CHEAT SHOULD BE BANNED FOR THE SAME PERIOD AS THE CHEATS IN ATHLETICS!! The rest of the papers are just full of the latest "celebrity" who has been shopping and bought a new dress and biased political opinion. I wouldnt read them if i was given them for free.
