  1. 80-90mph on a motorway/dual carriageway is standard for me. I am aware of other road users and I am observing what is happening well ahead of me. I have never had an accident nor have I been caught speeding. As for a coat button penis. You are correct. Mine is a 10inch toggle on a duffle coat. I am the keeper and I have double checked to make sure my docs are all correct (v5) and car is registered to my current address!! I admit I did have a little panic on Sunday evening about it!
  2. Bit of a contradiction there! Where do you want them to drive? Around in circles on the same roads in a housing estate? The more time they spend on the main road the better they will become (and quicker to).
  3. This occurred on the 9th. It is now the 24th. I have to receive a NIP within 14 days. I haven't.
  4. 1) A "safety" camera (words on the van). 2) Deliberately parked so it is obscured by trees but the camera is clear. 3) And located on a dual carriageway where there are no accidents. It's easy as 1-2-3 to raise money. I'm doing 85+ over taking several vehicles and a caravan. B@stards. How much are fines?
  5. Olivia De Havilland Robert Mugabe Herman Wouk David Rockefeller Jake Lamotta Gord Downie Morrissey Under 40s: Pete Docherty
  6. Here the extract from inside.
  7. In Vicenza at the min. Just sat down with a glass of merlot and picked up the local rag to read and lo and behold as you state. Took a picture to load on here but file size is too big.
  8. Not forgetting those who drive slowly through a green light. After all the light sequences are designed to let x number of vehicles through. But there is always one tw@ who f#cks it up for those behind him. Especially in rush hour. Another pet hate is those who slam their brakes on the first sign of amber when there is time for you and them to go through. Same also goes to those who drive slowly approaching a green light.
  9. As Isaidno commented - accidents do happen - unfortunately you may be right, serious injury or death may occur. This is what the highway code states. Therefore if you join the motorway at a slow speed - is it dangerous driving? Rule 259 Joining the motorway. When you join the motorway you will normally approach it from a road on the left (a slip road) or from an adjoining motorway. You should give priority to traffic already on the motorway check the traffic on the motorway and match your speed to fit safely into the traffic flow in the left-hand lane [emphasis provided by adam1] not cross solid white lines that separate lanes or use the hard shoulder stay on the slip road if it continues as an extra lane on the motorway remain in the left-hand lane long enough to adjust to the speed of traffic before considering overtaking. :
  10. Joining M1 southbound at junction 24. Slip road is downhill. Me and 4 other vehicles are put in a very dangerous situation by a very incompetent driver. This person is 3 vehicles in front of me. They are joining the M1 at 35mph (remember downhill slip road). They then slow down even more - to a stop. Therefore me and 4 other vehicles are now practically stationary, and in close proximity to each other, with about 30 yards of the slip road to go. Luckily people on the motorway have spotted the issue and all moved over allowing us to all join the motorway. If they haven't had spotted it, there most likely would have been an accident. Joining the motorway at slow speed and stopping on the slip road - is this a driving offence? I am currently looking at getting a dash cam to record and report these muppets. Someone will get hurt because of them. If they are incompetent or don't feel confident - they should not be on the road.
  11. Castle Street and Castle View. Unlimited parking after 4pm (may be 5 or 6pm now). The Newarke and The Gateway - free parking after 6. There are a few off Gosling Street / Deacon Street / Grange Lane - free after 6. All these are city side of the canal. I think Eastern Boulevard is free after 6. If you want a quick getaway - it's a case of trial and error, you need to factor in walking distance and traffic (further you walk less traffic but longer to get to your car). I would probably say Castle Street / Castle View with Tudor Road as a back up (easy access to A47 to A50 to M1 without gridlock).

    Keith Vaz

    Teffers has come out (no pun) and has stated that the paper is in the wrong for publishing the details. Lets look at why this is in the public interest: 1) Advocated against poppers being banned yet didn't declare his use of them (conflict of interest). 2) Is on a committee involving vice and drugs (conflict of interest). 3) Was/is chair of the home affairs select committee - a senior position within government - and so at risk of being manipulated by others threatening to reveal information (this most likely never happened but the risk is there). If Mr Vaz believes that there was no public interest - at what level of government is there a public interest? What happens if George Osbourne is a cocaine snorting user of prostitutes? What happens if another state tries to use this information to their advantage? Their holding of the position would be untenable because their actions would have put our countries affairs at risk (extreme worst case) or significant risk of their discretion being fettered (bias).

    Keith 'Teflon' Vaz. He has been involved in a few scandals over the years (cash for passports etc) and yet manages to survive. It will be interesting to see how he survives this
  14. Rant time after my drive back from the south coast. Random fact. The outside lane [slow lane] on the M25 between the M40 and M1 junction (clockwise) is your own personal express way. Congratulations! Now you can now play the role of a government official in a tin pot country/dictatorship! Yes you can cruise along admiring the empty lane whilst looking at all the degenerate scum who have to use the three heavily congested lanes. How so? It is because the M25 at that point is four lanes and our country is full of f#cking idiots who sit in the three over taking lanes doing 60mph and thus rendering the outside lane obsolete. I also lost count of how many times I had to undertake people on the M1 as well. Cruising up behind someone on the inside lane. They dont move over. wait. They don't move over. Slowly go into the middle lane to see how the road plays out. The middle lane is empty. Go back into the inside lane. Flash them. Wait. Flash them again. Wait. Undertake. Give them the finger. I need this or something simillar: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MOVING-MESSAGE-SCROLLING-DISPLAY-CONTROL/dp/B008VLDRLE Message to use: "This is an overtaking lane. You are not overtaking. Get out of this lane you c#nt" edit: there may be a character limit. therefore I suggest using 'c#nt'
  15. 1) Car in front emergency braking at 60mph on an empty road. Then indicating to pull in. C#nts don't realise indicate then slow down. If you want to pull over at a certain spot and you are on it before you realise - go past and turn around when safe to do so. That is what I do and that is what you are supposed to do. 2) BMW driver pulling out in front of me when I am doing 60mph on a straight road (national speed limit). I had to brake very hard (skid marks on road) to avoid going into the back of her. One - the stupid cow didn't look and two - if she had looked she should have accelerated sharply to avoid an incident. Needless to say she got the horn. She then pulled over to let me pass... clearly bottled it. Well she needed to learn.
  16. At the weekend driving down the M1 in the outside (slow lane) between two lorries in a 50 zone. Driving through a junction and a mercedes is set to join onto the M1. Me or the lorries cannot pull across as the road is full. I ease off to give a sufficient gap to let mercedes in (this was a big big gap). They are well ahead of me. I flash them to let them know as I can see them looking. They then start to slow. I start to slow to keep the gap. They go slower. I can't go slower. They stop and I drive past. They stopped. At the end of the slip road of the M1. I cannot believe the stupidity of some people. On the way back I did a 3 lane undertake. Am I proud? Yes. Why? Because I did it at 65mph! That is how bad the doughnuts (my pet phrase for twats who cant drive) were in front of me!
  17. Billy McKay missed one of the pens as well
  18. Don't know if this has already been posted http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35497832 'Leicester: You've made our teams look like a bunch of amateurs' From the section Football Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri used to manage Jeremy Vine's beloved ChelseaBBC Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine has been a Chelsea season ticket holder for 20 years. Dear Leicester City fan, Can you take a moment to spare a thought for me, a beleaguered Chelsea supporter? I just saw my team fail to score against Watford. Let's put that in context: we are Premier League champions, and we cannot find the net at Watford. We don't even know where the net is. Eden Hazard ought to be wired up to a sat-nav. So it has finally dawned on me. Chelsea are not going to be champions any more, maybe not for many years. I can now admit something I have been in total denial about. For the sake of my children I will keep pretending to believe - keep turning up at games and shout for Chelsea. But our campaign is over. So at some point the question has to be answered. If Chelsea can't win the league, who do I want the crown to go to? Today I tweeted a picture from my account, saying I want Leicester to win the league. And naturally I got abuse from the kind of people who lose their T-shirt as soon as they see a pint of real ale. "Plastic fan," replied someone with too much time on his hands, "u should only care about your team." This is my reply: I do. But I want Leicester to win the Premier League because my team can't. This week you took Liverpool apart. Your pair of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have 31 league goals between them, more than all the Reds combined. You are performing the kind of high-wire act not seen since the French daredevil Philippe Petit strung a cable between the Twin Towers and crossed it without a harness. Every week we expect you to fall; to go down 7-0 like Gary Neville's Valencia just did. But every week you stay on that cable. When you played us in December I totted up the total cost of your players. I made the total bill £23m. Chelsea's, by contrast, was £215m. I was so embarrassed I hid my jottings in a coat pocket. You then beat us 2-1, adding injury to insult and meaning your scoreline was 19 times times cheaper than ours on a pounds-per-goal basis. I tuned into 5 live's 606 show that week and heard a Leicester dad called Lee weep on the line with Robbie Savage, who used to play in midfield for your team. The man cried as he described his beloved LCFC going from last to first in the league in just 12 months. "I'm welling up," he told Robbie. "This season is just unbelievable, pal." Leicester, like Philippe Petit, have not falteredHis son, he explained, grew up with all his friends supporting teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and...Chelsea. He told his boy to hang in there with Leicester because one day things would turn. When the Foxes finally reached the summit of the Premier League, Lee said, "My son looked me in the eye and said: 'Dad, dad, amazing, absolutely amazing'." Lee then told Robbie: "You can't tell me we haven't got a chance of winning the league." The broadcaster replied: "Lee, how can I tell you that you can't win the league after that?" I seem to remember the man crying as he said goodbye. So I am going to go even further than Robbie. Leicester fan, your team can win the league. You deserve to win it. You will win it. And you will win it because I, and many thousands of others, are secretly willing you to, because it's the closest thing to Roy of the Rovers we've ever seen. You've made the teams we support look like a bunch of bungling amateurs, and, despite my pain, I love you for it. Yours sincerely Jeremy Vine
  19. We played well against them. Tactically astute, pressed them and held them well. The following game away at Villa (fa cup) who couldn't score a goal we played a very defensive 4-5-1 and sat back. We got beat. Those two games sum up Pearson tactically. He often made absolute tactical howlers.
  20. I don't think the positions are important. He just picks the 11 best players from the weekend.
  21. Garth Crooks has Vardy and Drinkwater in his team of the week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34895404
  22. This was a very interesting read, I do like to look at the stats side of sports. Our goal to shot on target ration is phenomenal. However I do believe that it may suffer if poor old Jeff is left in the opponents box...
  23. An interesting article on our tactics. I haven't seen it posted in here, but apologies if it already has. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/claudio-ranieri-has-found-the-way-for-leicester-city-to-exploit-weaknesses--danny-higginbotham-10508442.html
  24. I thought last seaon that wasiwl was proved to be a quick player. There was a speed chart of quick players. Therefore the villa comment on him being very slow is wrong.
  25. Shove it in her mouth. She wouldn't be able to complain.
