He seems such a nice guy…

I think I’ll go out and buy the paper instead…

cn we have a link now to the auction so we can save the seller to flag up anything else he sells?

Like he said

play girl bunnies

Wouldn’t they be men?

Does anyone know the correct way to eject someone from a train without the risk of prosecution?

The no merino thing is because of cruelty to the sheep apparently.

The OP was waiting in the left hand lane, bloke behind attempts to go round the OP for whatever reason into the right hand lane. In doing so, he whacks car.

stumpy01 – Its as if you were there…(err, were you?)

Having seen the picture it now seems fairly obvious what has happened – you may have started to move and he’s gone for the right hand lane, but you then stopped (no law against that) and he hit you.
On this assumption I would say you’re innocent and i’d like to think he’ll get all the blame.

That’s what I wanted to hear!

Did you?

No

So do we think it possible that the damage could have been caused from me ‘alledgedly’ pulling out from those parked cars? I think the damage would be worse and I may have spun…

what does the /\/\/\/\ white line mean?

“Zig-zag lines are painted on the street either side of a pedestrian crossing. Motorists should not overtake, wait, or park in the vicinity”

Approach road is single lane that we were obstructing plus I was ‘shaken up’ and not thinking straight

^^ Ok, so not a single lane road then. I’m swinging back in your favour, but you should not have moved your car one inch – this may be the deciding factor.

I disagree, the car behind should leave enough space not to hit me if I did move an inch.

So he’s saying I pulled out of the parked cars on left and hit him…

??
Presuming you were stopped at the roundabout when the collision took place, why would you then drive off?

Because car was drivable and I was obstructing traffic

It’s not a “rear end shunt” then, is it. Taking your statements at face value, you were stationary (why?) and he’s clipped you trying to pass. I’d stick to that if I were you, “I can’t be at fault, I was stationary.”

Your first post claims that he ran into the back of you because he wasn’t paying attention, now you’re saying he was trying to overtake you. If you can’t get your story straight and consistent, you’ll get DBFed by the insurance lawyers.

I was stationary while waiting to ‘enter’ the roundabout, looking right and waiting for a gap in traffic. I believe this is the correct way to use a roundabout.

He was behind me and set off before I did! As I mentioned the entry road is single lane and the roundabout double lane. He was obviously aiming for the inside lane of the roundabout to hit me like he did.

Don Simon – The photos were not taken at the site of the incident but further down the road.

And I would call it ‘burnt orange’

Cougar your incident sounds similar but I was stationary and he was trying to swerve round me to get to inside lane of roundabout.

Photos of damage…

The road was single lane but the roundabout is a large double lane roundabout (in Thornbury, Bradford). He was obviously aiming for the inside lane of the roundabout therefore hitting my drivers side with his passenger side. It was from behind but not a ‘straight on’ collision.

If that makes sense.

I assume he is suggesting that I pulled out and cut across him somehow.

Frustrated!

I hope the BBC use X-Factor voice over man

No tabloids just Guardian and Observer on a weekend. Mainly for sport so longing for the day when we have sport only daily papers like Italy and Spain

Why does the new El Guapo have £2999.99 crossed out next to the price?

Can you explain why it’s not a normal trail centre?

Cheers

I’ve got a cheap aluminium moka pot and love the strong coffee it produces (currently using Percol Black & Beyond ground coffee). Would recommend a 3 cup version as this produces just enough for a large single serving double espresso (1 cup would be too little and 6 cup would be way too much).

I’m currently looking at getting the Bialetti Brikka as its supposed to produce a good crema.

Who ever said romance was dead…

Our little girl is a month old now, loving every minute. Don’t know how it was for the Mrs but I had a banging headache all through the labour.

The other parts are on youtube…

I didnt mind motorbikes until I drove (my car) on the A65 between the M6 and Skipton. Some right nutters on there that would lead me to pose the question – “Motorbike drivers – what is your problem?”

Pretentious? Moi?

Cheers all, plenty there for me to try.

TooTall – Cafe Kimbo sounds ideal, I got my taste for espresso while in Sorrento earlier this year.

Guardian Football Weekly is brilliant with The Football Ramble a close second

If you are in to football that is!

I also download Fighting Talk and The Mark Kermode film review from BBC Radio 5 Live

I think the same could be said about ‘Henleys’ – what makes people buy this stuff?

Its not short sleeved I bought a Finisterre Eddy 1/4 zip top for biking and skiing. I’m a bit overweight but its still not too tight. A bit pricey but a really impressive top actually.

No experience of any other tops though!

See this thread I started last week on same subject.

I’m going for one of these

Decided to go for one of the following but not sure which one! Can anyone advise for/against either of them? Has anyone any experience of the lumenjunkies light?

Cheers z1ppy sounds ideal do you know where I can get an ‘inline’ lockblock from a uk seller? Like this universal nylon mount?

I’m close to ordering from mtbbatteries for a bar mount light and might go for torch like this to mount on helmet WF-501B

Anyone else using this set up? Is there a way to attach a torch to a helmet?

Ta

IA – How long have you had the light? Bar or helmet mount? Are you happy with it off-road?

Thanks

Thanks for that z1ppy.

Also, what would be the equivalent light from DealExtreme?
