BOLLOCKS #1
My ex-wife phoned me just now. She was drunk, which I think at 9:15am is a new record even for her. She was screaming at me as my daughter will not speak to her as she got pissed and went walkabout when she was supposed to be babysitting. Then she had the front to ask me to loan her £5000. I told her to go down to the docks and sell that yawning horse of a fanny of hers at a pound a go. That went down well.
BOLLOCKS #2
I just got settled into work and I got another phone call telling me they sent the wrong batch and I’ve now got to go to that London to pick up the right one. Cunts.
BOLLOCKS #3
I was one of the 27,000 people who reported a GATSO camera being triggered by traffic speeding in the opposite direction. As a thank you for reporting this, I have to do a speed awareness course as it registered me doing 32MPH in a 30MPH zone. (I have to take a day off work, and pay £60 for the privilege)
Enough bollocks for now. What are you people doing today? Please feel free to use this thread to vent your spleen at any bollocks that you may have encountered.

I had to be taken to hospital yesterday. I was wheeled out of work on a wheelchair, with oxygen masks and nebulisers and looking like a really shit Darth Vader. I was mortified. That was pretty shit.

They've ruled out everything very horrible, and are fairly convinced that it is very bad hayfever. I'm at home now with yet MOAR steroids, recommendations for anti-histamines and local honey, and I have to go and get all my meds changed at the asthma clinic as they did precisely Fuck All yesterday.

ie, you wouldn't get done in a 30mph area unless you were doing over 33mph.
Is this bollocks?

But it's not a legal defence. Your speedo is allowed to be 10% inaccurate and it always reads 10% over, pretty much (except my MG which reads 25% under but that's another story)
therefore, to be sure you are doing less than 30, you should drive with the speedo on 27. That's the legal counter-argument.
having said that, police guidlines are 10% plus 3 mph. so 36 in a 30, 47 in a 40, 80 in a 70. But that doesn't mean they can't do you for doing less than that.

if you mean slower, because out of THAT LONDON (yes there are places you know) most 30s are small villages and are a complete waste of time. 20 years ago I was caught doing 49 in a 30 on the edge of a little village in Staffordshire. Nowadays you might get banned for that, regardless of context. Then I was let off because, and I quote Her Majesty's Constabulary "It's the most stupid 30 zone in the county, but we have to police it because the rich locals complain unless it's them speeding. Have a nice day"
Context is the problem. We broadly apply speed limits and then enforce them for revenue, not safety reasons. It's stupid, pathetic and counter-productive in safety stakes.

I gave up driving when I got here. I drove around small East Yorkshire villages, and it was a bugger to drive safely past 20.

The fines used to go to the Safety Camera Partnership, or the local constabulary or something, so if they were feeling a bit poor, they'd bang out a few extra fines. Now it's retained by central government, so should be a bit better. That's the theory anyway.

But here's the thing: they caught me once, and fined me. However, they didn't even give it enough time for the notification to get to me before they got me again, so instead of me going 'Ooops, three points and seventy quid, I've learnt my lesson', I went 'Cunts. No wonder nobody likes these bastard things. I'm now on six points and a hundred and forty quid (about three days' wages for me then) down'.
Fucking cunts.

I'll probably get a four-figure fine in court tomorrow. I notice Michael Essien was only fined £1,500 for drink-driving recently. by that logic and based on income and relative seriousness of offence, I should be fined about 11p. Likelihood of that happening, do you think?
