  1. Interesting find, even if they arrest him and manage to incarcerate him for life it will only be a matter of time until another takes his place. Idi Amin, Kony, Gadaffi, they will all be replace like for like sooner or later. Quickest way to get rid is to offer up a $million reward for his death. I'm sure one of his lieutenants would like to retire in luxury to Florida or take his place.
  2. I'd make him re-do them until they are all EXACTLY even on the rims down to a few hundredths of a millimetre.........................................then tell him it looks crap and put a nail through each sidewall.
  3. Should have his license suspended if not taken away for endangering the public. What a moron.
  4. Maybe we should try to find him and teach him the highway code and how to ride a bike properly, till them maybe he should put the stabilisers back on. Would be nice to catch him in the act of running a red or cycling on a pavement.
  5. I've had another little run through of that vid and I count more instances where the cyclist could easily avoided conflict by cycling closer to the kerb, than cars clearly at fault. Some instances were actually his fault for cycling in the middle of a lane or the outside edge of cycle lanes. Watch again and look closely at his road position.
  6. I can definitely see that cars were at fault in a lot of those clips but also that he was having a go just because cars were close to him but not in cycle lanes. Some instances look like he could easily cycle closer to the kerb allowing himself more room. He also has an aversion to using his brakes when cars are turning in front of him at a reasonable distance. He's clearly only pointing out that cyclists are in total danger on the roads at all times but nothing about the dangers that cyclists get themselves into or cause others. I used to cycle a lot in years gone by and only twice have vehicles pulled in front then braked (busses both times). I have nearly been hit 3 times by drivers not looking, on two occasions I was not on the correct part of the road. Both times white lining in massive traffic jams that left no room by the kerb. Both me and the drivers at fault. It would take me 50 years to accumulate that may "incidents" shown on the video, so I think a lot were put on by the cyclist basically to be biassed against drivers. I also think he was aggressive and cycled like he owned the roads. Now can someone find a compilation of all the aggressive, dangerous and illegal incidences committed by cyclists against pedestrians and other road users. Sorry I don't have the time to do one myself.
  7. I WANT one of those. Same principle as maglev trains.
  8. Completely agree with that, I drive everywhere assuming that everyone is a moron which gives me a better chance of not hitting someone and also means it doesn't annoy me as much when they do something stupid. I drive everywhere knowing that everyone else is a moron. ..............except the iron bar tucked up your sleeve for just such occassions.
  9. Might have been the tyre came off the rim and he sprayed with aerosol and ignited it to re-inflate. Over did it and the shock blew the wheel studs.
  10. I remember a few years ago when I drove in to work one Saturday. Pulled up at a set of lights signalling to turn left. Lights turned to amber and just as I was about to launch a girl cycled across, obviously through a red light. So I launched anyway, and pulled gently round the corner taking note that she was not even bothered by the fact that if I wasn't paying attention and only looking at the lights, she would have left a mess all over the front bumper, bonnet and roof of my car. She's a woman, must have known how difficult it would have been to get blood, brains and crap out of a tan mohair hood.
  11. You're setting up Bonds new Aston for the latest 007 film. New coffee machine. You've become a Buddhist.
  12. Found some info on the net a few months ago. At the moment in the UK, it works out LESS green when you plug an electric car into the mains to charge. This is based on how much electricity is generated by fossil fuels, about 80% at the moment. The break even point being somewhere around 49%.
  13. "pedestrians on a bike" are illegal, subject to fines from £30 upwards. Unless they are 7 y.o or under IIRC. I was clipped 6 times last year by these mongrels, every single one of them thought I should get the f*** out of their way on a narrow path at night, them with no lights. What should I do, walk in the road and get run over? Next one gets clouted and his bike demolished. Most of them don't even know about the highway code. Cycle lane empty, cyclist on general road slowing down traffic. F'ing morons. A few years ago 4 cyclists were seriously injured or killed within a few months of each other. All of them went up the inside of lorries turning left at a set of lights. Larger vehicles can not always see what smaller vehicles are doing, makes sense for the smaller vehicle to take extra care always and give way at the slightest hint of trouble. Cyclists seem to have the attitude that they can do whatever they like including barging through a crowd on a pelican or zebra crossing. When I'm driving I always take due care when cyclists are around, overtake when it's safe and leave them a decent amount of room. Trouble is the number of cyclists that ride side by side making it impossible to overtake and when they do go into single file hurl abuse at you. Only once, on a twisty road, has a cyclist ever signalled back to me to hold on so that he could check if the coast was clear for me to overtake. How about a clamping system for cyclists on paths. Padlock the wheel to the frame so that they have to take it to the local nick, pay the fine and get it removed. Might deter them. AAAHHHHHHH!!! I feeling a lot better now my spleen has been vented.
  14. Should have been on the inside lane at all times except when turning right. Every time I hear about cyclists ranting on about road safety, dangerous junctions, jumping red lights and all the other "poor us" arguments, my blood boils. Get a licence, pay road tax, get MOT and get insured. Then, OBEY the highway code and use some sense. Give way to larger vehicles because they often can not see you but they will muller you. That goes for lorry to car as well as car to bike. You want to jump the lights across me? Up comes the HUD and you're in the cross hairs on green. Cycle lanes are not just for show, use them or lose them and get the f*** off the pavements. END OF RANT. Thank you and good night.
  15. Slow cooked dog stuffed with beef mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, garnished with garlic ginger and chilli oil mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm served on a bed of fragrant rice and a side of pakchoi, ............... making me hungry
  16. Instructions are done like that because blokes don't read them and women don't need to.
  17. Had something similar a few years ago with a student party next door. Police called 3 times and told them to end the party, 3 ambulances to take away effing morons and still the party carried on. 2 fecks sitting on my car made me blow my top, I ended up facing off with 20 dips**ts saying I should park elsewhere, lucky for them that was when the police arrived 3rd time. Half hour later I knocked on the door and told the lot of them to clear out, especially one dickhead that was smirking at me, was on the verge on rushing in and brining the C***. 5 mins later party was over. Next morning, a couple of hours later, I stopped the resident students from getting any sleep by dragging them round and cleaning up my property where all their mates were trespassing and making a mess. I think the landlord knows that if anything like that happens again, I might just burn his house down. I think the old saying applies even more now a days, "stick 'em in a barrel for 18 years then decide whether to keep 'em"
  18. Superb vid, well executed. Love this type of film, brings back some half remembered memories.
