Road rage perhaps? What would YOU have done?	06 Jun 2005 11:12 GMT	17
Warning longish post. Returning from town with wifey this afternoon in our ancient mini, traffic was light. Entering a traffic island that has poor visibility of its exits I floated into the middle lane (of 3 lanes) - knowing that it would bring me out on the
Route through central lowlands?	06 Jun 2005 11:06 GMT	44
I'm heading for Aberdeen, passing through the central lowlands about mid day Saturday, arriving up the M74. It isnt obvious from a map which is the best route. M8 and Forth bridge or M73, A80, A9?

Anyone see how close that lycra loonie cyclist got to wiping out Clarkson on Top Gear tonight? What an excellent example of why cyclists need to be tested, licenced and insured.

Today's nobjockey	04 Jun 2005 22:58 GMT	18
Was parked on the corner of a junction, leading into a local shops' carpark. He was halfway over the dashed line. Police van came up behind him, sounded the siren once and asked him to move his car. 'I'm just waiting for this guy to move' was nobjockey's shouted reply.

Yesterday I drove to Drayton Manor from Port Talbot, and back, and did an average of about 340 miles in total - there was not 1 idiot on the road, it was a good drive.
The best news so far this year...	04 Jun 2005 17:18 GMT	14
The Usenet hero Phil Kyle is back! I'm sure I can speak for -=all=- of the Usenet community by saying, welcome back Phil. My Dave also sends his regards. I hope Mr P Parsnip and Mogadon John rejoin us soon too. That would be
What the...	04 Jun 2005 10:27 GMT	23
Today, I was driving along the motorway. Quite happily, until... I reached a junction where the on-ramp was about to merge with the motorway. I was on the motorway, someone was on the slip road. No one else was anywhere near.

Are cyclists allowed to race on public roads?	04 Jun 2005 01:41 GMT	1326
I went for a drive on Saturday in rural Stirlingshire, near where I live. Between Drymen and Aberfoyle there was some sort of "official" bike race going on. Within a 8 mile stretch I came across over 100 cyclists all taking part in the race, riding 3 or 4 abreast causing huge ...

not thinking	02 Jun 2005 21:20 GMT	35
My local Tescos have recently tarted up the car parks and put up some new signs. In the "dedicated parking" the signs now read "Parent and Child Parking". So if I were to visit with my father and/or mother we could quite reasonably
Got a reply back frommy MP regarding PC Mark Milton.	02 Jun 2005 20:18 GMT	24
She will be asking questions, because she was "Outraged" as me as to the way this case was handled. I'm amazed to see that sometimes your MP can be contacted. Wonder how many points she has.
