It was intended as a light hearted response to your post :rolleyes

Sorry you took it the wrong way,  it was meant as a light hearted reply not a pop Yamfaz

[YamFazFan]

Ooops my apologies :o . I can see what you meant now.


Roger's the only bloke I know who can drink a pint, breathe and talk all at the same time...for hours and hours.... :lol

Gets my goat just recently is I am seeing more than you would expect, cars without a number plate on the front but it is sitting in the window. Now, I am pretty sure it is intentional and a permanent mod (until mot time) because the cars that do it all seem to be spammed up, overly dark windows aftermarket LEDs - audi or VW with the badge painted black -thats another gets my goat.
Anyone else noticed this.

I drive into that shithole Bradford 4 times a week and have come to realise that the locals just regard that as  standard trim.

Yep. There's an Audi round this way with the number plate on the dashboard. He's modified the front of the car somehow. It's all a massive grill at the front now and I reckon he doesn't want to spoil the look with a plate :rolleyes

Not so much cars but I'm seeing more and more mopeds and crossers without plates.
I'm guessing the local scum has taken a note from the vermin in that there London and realised that that they can pretty much do what they like as the police are unlikely to chase them.
See at least 1 a week these days

Heres one https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/news/1516...he_look_/I think its a fad among petrol heads to paint the whole grill area black which then makes it look massive - and IMO crap.Another one I am seeing is 80% of transit type vans with black cloth on the bonnet.Both of these "mods" are a good sign that the driver will be driving like a twat.

Or how about touch screens in cars.  Not so much that they have touch screens but that touch screens are now eliminating so many buttons.  Touch screens work by eye hand coordination, so you have to take your eyes off the road to use them.  Further when the vehicle is moving eye hand coordination becomes so much harder and time consuming – so eyes off the road longer.  It’s dumb and it’s gonna cost lives. 





AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! :'(

Cyclists have been doing pretty much what they like for years.  I think there must be a set quantity where Police suddenly say  If we stopped/chased every one we'd never get our KFC bucket.

I had to check it wasn't April 1st after reading that one darrsi [img alt=:groan]http://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/groan.gif[/img]

We've all been had at some time YamFazFan.  Just some folks have a hard time admitting it. 

If the story is actually fabricated then yep I've fallen for it hook, line and sinker.

Well it seems to have sunk as a story.  And I suspect if there is any truth in it, it’s out of context.  So no I don’t believe it for one minute. 



Don’t believe all you read in the press. :\

So who do we believe then.....you?

[VNA]

I believe some people want to believe what they want to believe irrespective of whether it is true or there is any basis to do so.

I also believe I am off on holiday for a week now.
See you foccers later.

[VNA]

Oh, and of course people love to be outraged.  Newspapers know that, and outrage sells.
So youse later.

We get the newspapers we deserve  :pokefun

[steve 10562cc]

To true these new smaller papers are a b*stard to wrap your fish and chips in  :lol

And they tasted better wrapped in newspaper :b. People used to sell bundles of newspapers to the fish and chip shops.
If you were lucky you'd get an interesting bit to read while you ate them.

I can almost hear the Hovis music playing in the background now :lol
