Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2006idiots
I have just been having a quick read, for fun, of the "Allegiance against urban 4x4's". They are selling / downloading official looking parking tickets which state that you are driving a very unfriendly car, (this is not an exact quote) etc etc. I was wondering if I found one of these placed under my wiper, or glued on my windscreen could I sue? Failing that could I park my unfriendly 4x4 on their foot whilst smoking my cigar? > I have just been having a quick read, for fun, of the "Allegiance against > urban 4x4's".

If I find someone stupid enough to touch mine I shall be displaying for their benefit just how unfriendly I can be; also how medically expert I can be at inserting said notice in unseen areas of their person. >I have just been having a quick read, for fun, of the "Allegiance against >urban 4x4's".

Not sure if thats a compliment or crass stupidity on their part. Same people who are against many things until they or theirs need its benefits then they go all quiet and use up the needed supply. Was born overseas; in the country a book was written that in many ways changed it. When the author died his widow got out quick because she was'nt enamoured with the changes. I'm getting tired of weekend warriors who salve their consience with good deeds at others expense. I wonder how many of them complain to food manufacturers about un-needed packaging which plloutes the p,anet and causes massive deforestation. Oops !! not really LR related .......... sorry >> I notice that the LR Defender doesn't make it onto their sh.t list. > > Not sure if thats a compliment or crass stupidity on their part. Probably deliberate. It's not good policy to try and make friends with the government AND say that the vehicle they buy more of than any other is a polluting environment destroying monster.

The one that's bugging me this week (Cpl. 123456 Smith of the 63rd Hobby Horse Division) is the musician type (I forget the name) on telly telling us we should all be saving the planet, yet his group use enough power at one gig to run a reasonably sized village for a week, and entire fleet of trucks to move their gear, plus the jetting about just to do an interview (to promote sales, no doubt). I'd far far more impressed if he'd just done a tour with half a dozen locally hired spot lights and a minibus, with the interviews done over the phone, i.e only what was actually *needed* - then I couldn't argue with him! Many moons ago I used to work the bars at Glastonbury and the like. The best one was the Shepton Mallet Greens festival.

They are Sailsbury, unless they've moved - I don't think they existed then anyway. All the bitter we sold was cask conditioned (though the first day's worth was racked bright, which some say isn't "proper"), all from smaller breweries - you name it, we sold it at one time or another. > Then again I suppose most trendy > greens would want bottled bavarian sh.t ;-) These were mostly hard-core greens - living an alternative life style (which was pretty sh.t). Paid for by us of course (on the dole).

OK, I thought they had something further out west, I was told you can buy kegs from somewhere around that area. > These were mostly hard-core greens - living an alternative life > style (which was pretty sh.t).

I can remember walking out of my room to find two of them unexpectedly fixing an old moped in my hallway, and having trouble from a neighbour when the girl angle-ground the top off a morris minor van right next to their house late at night. > Whatever you do, don't point out to one of their "musicians" > that accoustic guitars should have cat-gut strings to be really > green........ ;-) .. or that double-decker busses are hardly environmentally friendly when all they ever carry are two stinky hippies and a shivering dog!

I actually quite like him - I think he's more likely to agree than disagree, but I don't recall hearing him "doing" the environment as such.

I knew a lad at primary school who went round demanding that everyone called him "Rusty" after some character in a cowboy show. We all continued calling him Stanley or whatever and thought he was a tosser. He had the excuse of being 9 years old, though. Nicknames have to be bestowed on you by others to have any credibility. I wonder if Bono and "Sting" were really called that by their mates, or was it a PR consultant's bright idea? If I ever met them I would insist on calling them Mr Hewson and Mr Sumner, just to wind them up. ||| or the twat with the scruffy ||| hair and the Irish accent? || || I actually quite like him - I think he's more likely to agree || than disagree, but I don't recall hearing him "doing" the || environment as such. ISTR that when he was asked why he didn't contribute some of his millions to the aid programme he was haranguing the rest of us about, he muttered something about that "not being the issue".

Unlawful interference with a motor vehicle? Under NZ law (which is still pretty close to British law) that one fits and has been successfully used in a similar situation.
