 my world has just got a bit shit.
	my world has just got a bit shit. We had a couple of cockroaches by the back sink, so I phoned the pest guys, all sorted, but the wanker has submitted a report saying i was "obstructive and unhelpful" and was "letting the situation get worse" all because he turned up at 7pm on a Friday night and I told him that he couldn't spray chemicals around when it was that busy. And now the big boys are coming down for a chat.

	 Once upon a time there 3 balloons, mummy balloon, daddy balloon, and baby balloon.
Tired of baby balloon creeping into their bed every night,
"Tonight you must stay in your own bed" said mummy.
When he was sure his mummy and daddy were asleep baby balloon crept into their room and tried to squeeze into their bed.
But try as he might he just couldn't fit in, so he undid the bottom of his mummy and let tiny bit air out of her. But to his dismay he still coultn't fit in, so he crept round to his daddy's side of the bed and undid his daddy's knot and let a little bit of air out. Again he tried to squeeze in but still couldn't quite fit. So he undid hiself and let a little bit of air out. Then he fitted in nice and snuggly and fell sound asleep.
When his mum woke up she was furious!
"Get into your own room at once and think of what you have done young man!" she shouted
"I am so dissappointed in you! Not only have you let me down and your father down, you''ve let yourself down too!"

 So if they took your average speed, you would be well under the limit.
	So if they took your average speed, you would be well under the limit.(, Tue 19 Feb 2013, 14:32, Reply)
 
	 The UK law is based on the EU standard, with some minor changes. A speedo must never show less than the actual speed, and must never show more than 110% of actual speed + 6.25mph. So if your true speed is 40mph, your speedo could legally be reading up to 50.25mph but never less than 40mph. Or to put it another way, if your speedo is reading 50mph, you wonβt be doing more than 50mph but itβs possible you might actually only be travelling at 40mph.

 No, they are required by law to not underestimate your speed
	No, they are required by law to not underestimate your speedbut they all overestimate your speed. If you have a satnav that actually gives you an accurate speed based on how you move on the GPS, you'll see that if your speedo says 70, you're only really driving at about 65-67.
Also, if you're doing 55 by the speedo, you are only really doing 52. And they give you a 10% leeway on cameras.
