Quote:should have took the train/tube really mate, but I didn't wanna get blown up or stabbed. you pays your money...Not been to London fae donkeys years, but when I was last there I thought public transport was fantastic. Got me everywhere nae bother.
Talking of getting blown up or stabbed, I was supposed to be at Glasgow airport the day of the terrorist attack. There was to be a NO to ID protest, right around the time the slightly incompetent terrorists struck, and I was to take some snaps, but they switched it at the last minute to the Glasgow Passport Office. If I’d have been there, I’d have made a mint, or maybe sods law would have intervened and I’d have got blown tae bits.

Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - VNA - 25-02-19
Funnily enough last time I took the train.
Glasgow, I park the car in Govan and take the tube. Cheaper and quicker than driving into the centre. And if you do try driving in Glasgow city centre, yup plenty of cameras automatically issuing fines. City centre is a nightmare now. Been a while since too since I parked the thou up in the city centre too.

A few miles out of town though;

Well at least in Edinburgh they've got the extensive tram system :lol

Only 2 good things to come out of London the A1 & M1 heading north.

Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - mtread - 25-02-19
Yep, also have the advantage of getting you through Yorkshire as quickly as possible :lol
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - steve 10562cc - 25-02-19
What's wrong with Yorkshire other they have short arms and deep pockets.

Because it means that they can pull away without needing to waste time getting their foot back into a toe clip.
How many bikers keep the bike in gear at the lights and hold the clutch in, instead of putting it into neutral as you're advised to do?

It's quite cheap - you go round some areas and it's pushing £40-45 for 4-8 hours. Add to that the congestion charge at £12.50 plus double the fuel that a bike uses and you can see why I bike it to London every day....2 gallons and that's all. Ahhhh forgot - the robbing bastards charge you £1 to park a bike in Westminster.

A 650 Bandit that hasn't been washed in 2 yrs will still be there (mechaically spot on )- it looks like shit for a reason. Even added yellow/green electrical tape here n there. If anyone nicks it they'd get a kicking from their Fagin :lol
