Little Things That Irk You 3 1/3: The Final Insult

lol @ dogg's boredom dream!

Reminds me of the Red Dwarf Better Than Life episode where Rimmer's fantasy conspires against him rather than being awesome like the rest of the gang's!

Can't hear the audio at work, but would have thought it was pretty obvious, ride your motorbike on the wrong side of the road and expect to die. Was he speeding? never mind it was illegal to overtake at that point. Wonder if the Police will be knocking a his door.

Yep. Man rides a motorbike like a dick and puts other people's lives in danger but luckily he hasn't actually killed anyone yet.

Total dickhead. Makes me laugh it's entitled 'Biker's eye view of danger road'; I can't help feeling it'd be a lot less dangerous if you didn't drive like an idiot and go flying round the bend far too fast. 'Here's where I became impatient', yeah, knobhead. Try being a bit less impatient, maybe?

[dvdx2]

i often see many dangerous driving acts from the 'biker boys', ranging from tailgating to dangerous overtaking to insane levels of speeding. Wayyyy to much power in bikes like that and i'm sure its too hard to resist temptation to open it up.

129

"Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10 & 26"

He crossed a double white line meaning he shouldn't have been overtaking and he's in the wrong. He did it twice in a short space of time in a stretch of road with lots of bends so sharp they need chevrons to indicate them.

I fail to see how it's anybody but his own fault.

[VR46]

Exactly and I hope the Police will follow up on it.

That road has been known as a bikers road (and had a number of deaths) for probably 20 years now due to all the twists and turns, doesn't mean you can't ride it sensibly within the law.

[kryss]

What a prick. We could see the "slow" markings on the road, why couldn't he?

So last night I had to get the cops down to get rid of a squatter in the unused offices on the ground floor of my apartment building, then I come home this morning to find two guys in the basement.

I may have to just start bleeding people and then dispose of the bodies.

That basement would be the perfect place to get rid of the evidence too. A meat grinder, a bath full of acid or lime, & plenty of Febreeze & no one would be any the wiser

Breaking my foot in two places, cracking a rib in the process (on Mothers day last weekend). That, and putting my six months of exercise back forever. Oh and my wife's sympathy drying up almost overnight....

[speedlolita]

This unsettling feeling of wanting to offload anything that is PAL or really common in terms of gaming. Barely use the stuff so it would make sense to keep the stuff that isn't easily replaceable.

Idk.. :c

Privatisation whores. The East Coast mainline has failed miserably in private hands. Since it returned to public ownership, passenger numbers and revenue are up. Now the Govvinment want to re-privatise it. Why? Leave it well alone, morons. This is privatisation for the sake of it. Corners will be cut, staff laid off, service quality reduced; all to chase the fat profit cow. Someone, somewhere - probably an overweight, sweating Tory tub of lard - will be making a killing on this deal.

Oooof. Unlucky.

Ta Charles, hopping over a 6ft fence when your near 20 stone, not one of my best ideas.
