And here was me thinking an englishmans home is his castle.
Stomp stomp stomp, get that alarm fitted or yer going to jail.
I had a screed written out but fuck it.
Budgie, you clearly want to rule with the old iron fist and that's your perogative. But as you state "if it keeps one person out of a&e then it should be compulsory" or words to that effect.
So going by that logic where you highlight someones idiocy in an earlier post where they suggest helmets for car drivers.
If it saves one life then it should be compulsory?
For instance, my brother died in a crash some years back, in what was supposedly a relatively safe vehicle. He landed on his roof. The nurse in the morgue said the killer blow was a strip of metal striking his temple.
A helmet may have saved his life. Thats a lost life that shattered my family for some years and still does. But a helmet could have saved all that grief and loss. Not looking for sympathy or 'owt just illustrating a point.
If its good for one then it has to be good for all and it should be law, no? Going by the logic.
Yes, nobody disagrees with the sensibility of wearing the gear and we all know we should. We also know we should test our alarms and eat the right food and smoke only fresh air and drink only water but how far are we taking it?
They are all selfish and at times mindless omissions but how far do we go?
Instead of discussing you are only seem to be engaging in bigotry and don't care about what anyone else wants because you've seen first hand the damage.
Me too. Personally, away from bikes. Brother is career fire, I'm in fire enforcement (so lets talk smoke alarms and the requirments and social objectives attached if you like) ponkster up there is career fire also. We all know nurses (phwooars!!!!!)
We're adults, don't protect us. We take the risks and we contribute and we are involved. No biker deserves the treatment more than a sick child, but we don't get the sympathy either. Nor should we. Bikes are dangerous in the wrong hands, and often even in the right hands. And those hands will always be vulnerable.
Calling other people idiots is pretty shoddy to be fair, and only because they differ in opinion or want to push your buttons.
Turns out it was another screed. Well there ye go.
Deep breaths Budgie. Deep breaths
