'Going to confession' - a well-established Catholic practice/requirement often caused confusion & frustration to the poor Priest if his grasp of the Irish language wasn't up to scratch.

On knowing his unfortunate language position, we ploughed on regardless using the Gaelic.

Great light-hearted entertainment! ;-)

But does it count if you do it in another language? :-S

'Swearing' comes from the frustration in lacking sufficient verbal dexterity.

So said our teachers in the mid-1960s. ;-)

Will be interesting to see what happens with the recent death by driverless car in America recently.

As for the swearing it does depend on how you translate it but either way not the nicest way of putting your view across. My mother always said ignorant people swear......bu&*red if I know why :-D

Has anyone been arrested yet of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while 'in charge' of a driver-less vehicle? :-S

I should really report the post that contains swearing but the translation is just so funny I am more than happy to leave it on public display so more people can have a laugh :-D :-D :-D :-D

Really.....no course in the tank zone??...interesting

Quite why what vehilce comes into it is a mystery as no driving is involved as its all narative class based and you can turn up on a bike.! if you choose,also any trip to MOD Bovington wasted as no courses even take place there.!

plus to be offered the course by the police.

****You have admitted to being the driver of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence and returned the documentation within the 28 day period calculated from the date the notice was sent to you.****
No more than 12 weeks have elapsed since the date of the alleged offence.
There were no further offences committed at the time of the alleged offence.
You have not attended a speed awareness course within the 3 years prior to the current offence.



Oh,btw they hold classes in Bournmouth at the library.



They dont do them on a Saturday or Sunday.

So Rollo when exactly is this course? You said something about this weekend but I can't see it being on Friday or Sunday so Saturday maybe?

LOL that's a blast from the past :-D

"Die Lage ist wie immer: Alles Mist! "

Ah Rollo it can't be that bad, and not the nicest way of putting it.

Die Lage ist wie immer: Alles Mist!

:-D :-D :-D ;-) :-S :-S

Allan did PM me and of course I'm blushing :-D :-D :-D

Well, I thought that I had posted a response to Caroline along the lines of 'I'll pm you, old 'Itchy Finger' may be lurking, and yes i think that the punchline could well be relevant .

I must have pressed the wrong button, in a manner of speaking :-D :-D

:-D :-D

...'broad scope' - bit like this thread, then? :-D :-D :-D

Oh I don't know Allan maybe it applies here, what is the joke :-D :-D

Totally off-subject but I know a very old joke about Volvo's and porcupines :-D :-D

Maybe the term politician is being used in a very broad scope so local councillors etc are included too??
