Probably best to leave the fancy dress to CID?

They do tend to be a bit strange.

I had a true idiot today....

came off the motorway, got on the slip road, and the roundabout cuts down to one lane, I had a numbnuts beside me in a Passat, he drove it round and swerved from the inside lane straight in front of me and nearly took me out (dashcam ran out of storage space then so no footage) so I gave him a flash to show I was frustrated. We went down the road splitting into a dual carriageway and he moved to the inside, and I stuck in the outside, as we approached the roundabout he wound his window down and started shouting something, so I rolled mine down ready to respond...

"have you got a problem" he shouts (this guy looked about mind 50's or so) I was just about to reply with "yes I do, I suffer main beam turrets when I am within 10 yards of a (fill with your own word)"

Instead he just drove off across and turned off the roundabout :|

Clearly he is both braindead and blind, if you dont realise you nearly cut someones front end off with your lump of metal, they are going to be a tad annoyed...

The fact I have a big cyst in my mouth, which makes my speech distorted, and that I have to have tests on it, biopsy, then a major surgery to hack it out. Which has to be done miles away. The fact that I am currently in limbo waiting for all this, all the while being damn near crippled by anxiety.

Did I mention Britain First?

I agree with you about the race hate groups. It certainly didn't take long for me to be banned from the Bigots First Facebook page (yet they keep going on about free speech).

What I don't like today is the fiat 500 / abarth courtesy car from the smart repair shop. Ewww it's horrid!

Also if that wasn't bad enough it's been done up to look like a herbie beetle

Quite surprising to get one as a courtesy car, it's on the best cars for holding money.

Got to work then do my dressage test straight after Iv got 5 mins to get there

I'm going to be controversial here and express my opinion.

I like the idea of putting Britain first....

I only refer to the idea of restricting the influx of migrants and in that sense 'closing the borders' as I think that's the only good thing anyone of those party is speaking of.

I don't have any hatred or racism to the foreign individuals out there, gar from it, but I think it would be good to really give Britain and those who reside in it (not just white people or British people, I mean everyone who legally resides on our soil) the opportunities. Britain should b doing more to allow migrants the opportunity to build a life in other European countries

There's nothing controversial about expressing your opinion. :)

We should be more like Australia and New Zealand.

Criminal record? Bog off.

There is nothing wrong with that outlook Jeebs, it is the hateful method that Britain Farce employs, stirring hatred and blaming migrants for society being so flawed. Same goes for UKIP. I think that sustainable migration is not a problem, I do not think anyone should be discriminated against just because they come from a different country or their skin isn't whiter than white.

Other E.U. Countries don't offer such generous '' benefits '' . . . .

I'm sure the guys here will sympathise with this one -

I don't like getting the handle on my handbag caught around the - gear stick, hand break, seat adjustment arm while I am trying to exit the car grrrrrrrrrr lol.

I have that issue all the time :-P

But yeah I think criminal records should be a minimum, and I also think it's only fair to extend the 'no benefits to new migrants' from one year to three, unless they can prove they have worked exceptionally, and prove they are sourcing a new job. People are still coming here, getting by for a year and then take in the benefits....

Politicians of all persuasions have been selling the British people down the river since the E.E.C. / E.C. / E.U. was formed.

I don't like those !Removed! school children who run out into the road when it's clearly unsafe. Then they have the nerve to shout at you for using your horn

I had a group of 20 or so parade across the road like it was a zebra crossing...

I'm all in for an all out at a referendum

The British electorate are highly unlikely to be offered an E.U. referendum - because Parliament & the E.U. won't like the answer . . ,

All this stuff about the SNP etc and EU referendum.

First thing we should do is become a republic and do away with the Monarcy owning all the lands and making tax payers pay extortionate rates to use it and all the other stuff they leech off us.

Then merge as one nation, how most of us actually see it and go from there.

The Royal Family cost each U.K. taxpayer 56 pence per year . . hardly extortionate

  • Author

That's not a true figure at all, Charles spends £22k PA on stationary alone and the Queens Bentley cost a fotune to build and then the amount that HMP ( ironic being Her Majestys ) pays for the lands that prisons are located on is extortionate. I think that figure you got from google is some pro royal family website where they claim the monarchy generates millions for the UK due to "tourism" and the royal wedding fiasco etc

£299.4M PA and rising 6% according to republic.org.uk mods please delete link if you feel appropriate, am not affiliated nor personally care for them and their rants.
