Fair comments Sky - I'm the first to admit that because I'm not a FB fan I tend to always see the bad side of it rather than the equally valid up-side; telling this old fogey to lighten up now and again is always a positive move and never out of place!

It's eay to think positively when the Rabbitohs win!
Even tho I got a speeding fine. $489.00............. 8 kms over the limit. 4:30am on a highway.
Still! The Rabbitohs did win!

Ouch! That's a stiff fine for a minor infringement - that has the smack of being more about the raising of revenue than of the administration of justice.

Indeed .. 
I always hated working in traffic .. we all had to, especially those who didnt go on to be traffic cops
.. but you go out with a statistical target .. youre not lashed if you dont hit that target which is good. lol 
and the discretion was always yours .. but these days speed cameras .. thats discretion out of the window.
Were you pulled over Kizza or tagged on a speed camera
Its shit either way .. but I would never have given anyone a ticket if they came across sensibly .. and it was 4.30am in the morning where the risk for the potential collateral consequences are so much lower.

It was a stationary camera.
Not a soul around. . . . .
Revenue raising it is. Fines have doubled and trebled here in the past 5 or so years I think.
Worse still that's 3 points off the licence too.
Oh well. Still, The Rabbitohs won!

Ha! Thanks Pete. The Rabbitohs are a rugby league tesm. Named after the purveyors of rabbits who would raise funds for the club at the turn of the 20th century.
People would stand on the corner with rabbits for sale - meat was hard to come by - and they woiuld call "Rabbitoh" to bring the trade in.
Sky in uniform! Very cool!

Sky, Largs is transforming into a housing estate or development...... has been the plan for a while. I don't know where they are up to with that actually.
Yesterday I counted 7 permanent speed cameras on a 75 minute roundtrip. I am back to using the cruise control more often. Even in 60kmh zones!

At the high point of the Great At Bernard Pass is the famous monastic Hospice that has provided food and rest to travelers crossing the Alps for 1000 years. Notable guests included Napoleon who fed and watered his army there prior to his historic victory at Marengo. His army consumed many thousands of bottles of wine together with tons of bread and meat and ungenerously Napoleon left without paying. Two hundred years later the then President of France Fransesoise Mitterrand visited the establishment and was duly presented with his predecessors account which he paid.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Vraith, One cold and wet winters day I was out on a fog laden rugby field. One of those days where it is so cold that you seriously question why you pursue these pastimes. In the process of grabbing a large Samoan winger in a tackle, my hand got caught in the wet heavy cloth of his jersey. As he went to ground under me we were seperated by another four players. Trouble is my hand was still stuck in his twisted jersey and all present heard a disturbing "pop" sound. (I drank ale like a scorned Mongol warrior that evening.)Vraith wrote:How the hell could you know, for sure? Is there a secret "The Watch" ID card?...Skyweir wrote:I wouldnt have pinched you Kizza
This impact caused enough damage to the ring finger on my right hand that the tendons and cartilage would never properly heal again. So rather than continue with a finger beyond medical repair, and which polks and points the wrong way, i had the top joint removed.
Thats how Sky would recognise me. And you wanna join the club??
Btw, I always thought blockchains were y2k bugs. And I do like the way you think.

Now here's a coincidence; playing rugby as a thirteen year old I tackled a lad by grabbing his shirt and pulling him to the ground during the course of which the end bone of my little finger (lhs) snapped like a pencil. It was beastly painful for a month or so (being a boarding school nobody noticed or gave a shit if they did and I never said anything about it) but then sorted itself out. To this day the last centimetre of this finger points upward at an angle instead of straight as the other one does. By this means I qualify as a halfhand. I demand recognition!President of Peace? You fucking idiots!

Who the **** advises Corbyn! After a month of continual negative coverage, the press media had at last turned to a new subject, the military research laboratory Porton Down's refusal to identify Russia as the source of the nerve agent that poisoned the Skripal's in Salisbury, and instead of staying schtum and letting the foreign secretary (Johnson) stew in his own presumptive remarks on the subject, he interjects with comments on the matter that are so obvious that they need no stating at all. Does he not realize that today, instead of focusing on Johnson's rash gun jumping in his accusations of Russia, the papers will all focus on portraying him as a stooge towing that countries line; has he not learned that most simple of rules, when your rival is screwing things up all on his own - leave him be to continue!
