Oh dear.

I’ll break the speed limits every journey, always have, however there’s a time and a place.

I’ve never attempted to justify it, I do it because it’s fun. I’ve been collared twice in 20 years, zero car accidents and four on a bike (single vehicle and all within 1st couple of years riding). Speed played a factor in two, but main cause was inexperience in all four.

And WTF? about speeding ‘unintentionally’, how do you manage that unless you aren’t paying attention to what you’re doing? if you can’t keep any eye on your speed what else are you missing?

Sounds like the recipe for an Internet phenomenon!

Switch the lights on?

Cops should be pissing by the window shortly :D

Punched the whole barrel through in one go?

At least there is an obvious entry point, ins co can’t claim you left it unlocked and try and wriggle out of coughing up, especially with your Ming vase and fallen Madonna with the big boobies going walkies.

Back doors smashed in? Nasty. Lucky you’d already crimped one off this morning ;)

@wasnotwas

Hmmm, here’s one I prepared earlier, quite possible.

I wonder if you could get a Poo Peter badge for that?

:( sorry, I’m running on empty, I strained hard but that was the best I could manage.

If I don’t die, I’ll post a photo as proof it happened.

I wouldn’t worry, I’m sure someone will have a spare fridge ;)

thestabiliser – Member

weigh them as they go in/come out?

What, the poo?!!?

You sicken me….

I just had to log in to post *snigger*

Size of a fridge and weighing in at 150kg, hmmmm…

It’s a good way to transport a body, keeps all the parts and fluids together in one place, and leaves no mess.

Don’t worry, I wont tell ;)

:( was the first thing I noticed too, ffs. That and the tiling is off to one side too >:(

The angles don’t make sense. At the X in the lower part, the 50 is a larger angle than the 130…

Angles are correct, originator can’t draw worth a damn though…

Edit: and I’m sllloooowww :D

it was probably only a matter of time before someone’s mum got stranded

Please god let that be a euphemism :D

I’ll accept your apology (jolly decent of you…..I know, I’m lovely like that)

On one condition, you post a link to the original offence, waaaaayyy too lazy to search for it….

Stoner, you are a very bad man indeed! At least when I broke up with a girl I did it to her face.
Sorry Michelle.

Before or after you dumped her?…… What?

Im still, very, very sorry, Jenny

Brutal! Surely thread winner?

Your lucky if they are only playing the game… just hope your kids don’t get obsessed with the stampylonghead minecraft channel on U-tube.

Uproar in our house the other weekend, screaming, shouting etc. Rushed in assuming someone was dead, or at least missing a limb, but no, the Youtube guy was playing in the same world as my boys, they were quite excited….

I think the driving standards boil down to 2 reasons really. There are those that simply don’t GAF about anyone else, and the rest simply don’t know what they are doing is wrong.

One thing I have noticed is on the increase is people don’t understand the concept of slip roads and joining a motorway. Its been a while since I took my test (13 years) but I was under the impression those joining the motorway were meant to indicate and fliter in. Not fix their gaze straight ahead and pull in at whatever speed they fancy.

Wait until you follow someone down the slip road who then brakes to a standstill at the bottom, fair focused the mind that one!

Pootling to Manchester on the M56 yesterday in lane 3 – as is my god-given right in my company repmobile – came across a civic in lane 3 who wouldn’t move over. Nothing at all in 1 or 2. After about a mile, I gave it/her a flash, as by now we were being passed by vehicles on the inside.
There followed a brake test and hazard flashing, erratic steering and speed changing (up and down by about 10mph). Eventually I got the hint, into lane 1 and filtered past when her speed varied.
She was still in lane 3 a few miles later, queue of traffic behind her, lots of inside filtering.
I’ve been seeing a lot of this recently. Often when it’s quiet, and the drivers often move over and then rejoin 3 despite the absence of traffic in 1 and 2.
Any insights as to why?

? what are you, a man or a mouse?

You’re in the company steed, just rub their rear bumper until they get the message.

50gb a month?!

Average about 150 gb a week here, using Plusnet fibre 80/20. Totally unlimited package similar to the sky offering.

Very little peer to peer, mostly streaming HD from iplayer, netflix, icefilms etc Some surfing, gaming and video skype thrown in for good measure.

Multiple exit points in our house. One upstairs onto the utility room roof or from our bedroom onto the conservatory.

Otherwise I reckon I could jump from a front window. Not sure if the wife could. Still, she’s had a good innings.[/quote]

Do the decent thing and knock her out first, don’t want her to suffer needlessly :)

totalshell – Member

you have to wonder sometimes.. the tax is due, sure the solicitor was in error about the amount but its still due that she continued with the transaction so your mum could move in by paying with thier own cash seems more than fair.

that STWbarrackroomlawyers feel mum should be due compensashun and staged payments is exactly why all proffessional fees are on the increase. your old mum looked around for the best value solicitor they made a genuine error in her tax liability if you pay someone 500 quid to deal with over a quarter of a million on your behalf stuff goes wrong..

There isn’t a chance in hell the solicitor would have continued with the transaction if they had realised their mistake prior to completion, they’d have stopped immediately.

If I pay a professional to do a job, I expect them to do it. If they get it wrong then I expect them to sort it.

Give over, these are the most entertaining, there’s only so many log burner threads a man can take…..

Well, I’ve learnt something new today.

Committing a crime isn’t too bad, so long as you stand next to someone that’s done something worse.

Not really, when it comes to theft or harming someone, it’s simple, don’t do it, everything else, shades of grey :)

Challenging the perception that speeding is a socially acceptable thing is just one way to make the roads a safer place for us all to be out cycling on.

It is, although I’m not sure I’d trust your moral judgement if you concider a minor speeding offence to be greater than theft/fraud, victim and value aren’t important.

flicker, habitual speeder, but as honest as the day is long ;)

I have some sympathy for the solicitor – they will be dealing with SDLT day in day out at 1% and forgot that this one should be 3%. At the end of the day, it is a tax which is due by a purchaser so the OP’s mother needs to cough up and should have been aware of her tax liability before entering into the transaction.

The solicitor has paid the full tax so that the title can be registered, otherwise the purchaser (and the solicitor) would have been stuffed.

The honourable thing to do for the purchaser is to stump up the cash. If there is genuine hardship and the funds aren’t available, then I’d be asking the solicitor if they would mind instalments though. I can’t see them refusing that given their error.

I don’t, he’s (she?) been paid to supply a service, the customer shouldn’t then have to double check everything has been carried out correctly. Not everyone want’s to or is confident to sort it out themselves, I know my own Gran wouldn’t have been. Funnily enough that’s why you employ someone professionally qualified, solicitor should suck it up, tbh I’m amazed they had the gall to bring up such a basic error on their part.

As said above, bet they got their fee spot on.

I’d seriously be concidering telling them to jog on (after legal advice :D).

She’ll have paperwork and invoices from them, all paid in full? Their cock up their problem. I work in the oil and gas industry quoting some fairly large and complex jobs, if I get it wrong then the company has to stand the loss, I make sure I don’t get it wrong.

After fitting my own liner I can understand why they charge what they do, and mine was a straight run with no bends.

Fantastic euphemism! :D

I’d most definitely be bent out of shape about this, I’d also be surprised if the kids weren’t upset about it too.

Book a holiday for you and the kids that leaves on NYE and leave a note :D
