RTR: "The pair of you make an evening with cockroaches look a good proposition."

Of course it does! Cockroaches will believe anything you tell them! :-D

Why so offensive/defensive? Having never spent any time with cockroaches I can't say whether your evening will be enjoyable or not. I'd quite enjoy an evening with Maggie
:-D As for us picking on you, it's not picking on you to ask questions when things don't add up!!

Some people aren't impressed !
Agree, Island his posts are good with popcorn - or just corn :-D :-D

RTR obviously believes blaming everyone else, including the law for his shortcomings is entertaining!
His forgetting his own 'embellishments' is hilarious! :-D :-D

You must have noticed by now Rollo, some people just love to get their pants in a wad. It's been that way for years and has always been a safe bet as to whose threads/posts will attract mostly the same old convoy.

Makes an occasional good popcorn read though.

You don't have to waste your time reading and replying to my posts. If you don't it is no skin off my nose.

Why does MW wish to do away with PAs? They would be of little value if they had to get approval for every trivial thing that came along!

I feel sorry for Man Friday and his partner.

...blames everyone else because he can't be bothered to read his own post.

The police are wrong for doing their job.
There are allegedly more driving accidents in Australia ....and?
Does the mean YOU can exceed the speed limit, RTR?
I'm sure, if you or OH were a pedestrian hit by a car exceeding the speed limit, you wouldn't turn around and say 'Well it was only 4mph over the limit, and he WAS driving a jag, please don't inconvenience him'.

There are other (in most cases more interesting) people's lives to consider than just the great 'I am'.

"No matter I have a very efficient replacement Man Friday who does the job for the moment. "

Funny start of thread it's this now thank goodness he's off to Salford.......

Caroline

Caroline Report 27 Mar 2018 12:43

So it's good that there's same sex couples.....agree
Man Friday is shipped off to Salford while his partner stays in London.....all because he sent you on a course??
Dorset is a lovely place so glad you have better things to do but most of us would love a trip to Dorset.

Of course the SAC is a money maker as are parking tickets etc etc.

Don't speed simple!

Britain

3,201 people were killed on Britain’s roads in 2005.
28,954 people were seriously injured on Britain’s roads in the same year.

Australia

1,464 people were killed on Australia’s roads in 2008.
31,204 people were seriously injured on Australia’s roads in 2005/06.

Both of these sets of figures came from the respective countries governments, so they have a good chance of being accurate. As Britain’s population is about three times bigger than Australia’s, it is clear that Australia’s roads are far more dangerous than those in Britain.

Let’s look at it this way. If Australia could match Britain in road safety terms, then roughly speaking around 400 fewer people would die and more than 20,000 would escape serious injury.
