  1. And each one of them is a greedy little bastárd. Each one has enough money to live a nice life and they want more and more and more and more. Greedy fúckers.
  2. Isnt that where Prince Philip has been grouse hunting with his shotguns this week?
  3. So as you can see they dont damage their suspension. I thought everyone knew this.
  4. As I was saying earlier on, they dont care about damaging their suspension. And if you slow right down as you approach a bump, and then accelerate over it, you dont damage it. If you notice they were doing more than 60 mph in a 30 mph zone, which is what I am seeing all the time. I occasionally see them doing around 70 down the street. They dont all do 60 over the bump, they slow down before them and accelerate over them, this doesnt damage the suspension. There you go.
  5. In tonights Bolton News online. Cars caught in a 30 mph zone doing more than twice that speed., and in tandem. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/17371970.officers-carried-out-speed-checks-in-hulton-lane/
  6. It was probably a stolen car also. And he wont have had insurance or tax.
  7. She might have been putting her make up on. She cant be expected to do that AND watch for speed bumps.
  8. Are Women allowed on Trains yet?
  9. To be honest with you for a moment, I think one Policeman could probably cover all of England, Wales and some of Scotland as there is zero crime going on, anywhere.
  10. As most criminals and also the Tories will tell you, the rise in crime has got nothing whatsoever to do with there being less Police. The Policeman that covers Bolton is never short of work. Always does his 40 hours.
  11. Yes, this is what I am saying, those that do it dont care. They mostly speed up to around 60 between them and then drive slowly over them at the optimal speed for a bump. We all suffer because of the few that do it. There are some roads that I dont drive down now because its that bad with bumps, and I drive over them slowly.
  12. This man in the video above is riding straight over them without stopping. The thing to do is to slow down as you are approaching, and then as you hit it, speed up again over it and it lessens the bang ( than it would to just fly over it ). Yes there is always a bump but you can fly over the speed bumps at speed. Those that doing 60 are racing betweeen the speed bumps and then breaking as they approach, and then speeding over them. The ones that do it, they dont care if they get a bump or not. As this man shows, the bump aint too bad. There are some bumps that are really nasty and wreck a car. I hear also stories of some bumps where people say they are illegal speed bumps because of the size, but maybe thats not true. The thing for sure, is that those people who speed about up and down the road, it doesnt stop them, as we all see. And that they are a big nuisance to the people who dont speed and have to keep going through the motions. I once broke a spring on one and I was doing 15 mph over it. In fact speed bumps have caused plenty of damage to my car and I drive slowly over them.
  13. I am describing what I see out there, nothing else. You prob do traffic calming for council, I am talking about what is going on, and it is, and we all see it.
  14. If you slow down a bit as you are approaching a speed bump, and then speed up, the suspension rides over it. Speed bumps are a problem for cars at slower speeds like 25 mph. I know there are many people seeing what I see out there. 60 mph down 20 and 30 zones, regularly, theres not just me seeing it, its happening everywhere. And doing U-turns from nowhere on a main road is getting very bad now also.
  15. Papers are saying Princess Di arranged it.
  16. And look at these idiots here coming through Oldhams estate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG1dGDfXOE4
  17. Yes it does, but they dont feel it, and those that do it dont care about that, and lots are too ignorant to know. However, a speed bump only deters slow driving, if you go really fast it doesnt affect the handling. I am seeing, and have been for a few years, I am seeing people regularly doing 60 mph through housing estates, and over the speed bumps. I occasionally see some I estimate at 70 mph. And there are people walkingalong the pavements and crossing the roads behind cars while they do it. I look around when I see this happening and no-one even cares about it!
  18. The vast majority of drivers dont speed. You get the same people, same type of person whom knows where all the speed cameras are, speeding through housing areas and over speed bumps continually, even if nipping to the shops, and on Sunday mornings too. To stop them doing this, ideally get more plain unmarked police cars catching these people. All the speed cameras that are out there have been installed because of a minority of people.They need to be catching these people doing u-turns everywhere they want, also. These speed bumps, when they speed up even faster as they approach them, it doesnt affect the vehicle, its only when you are driving slowly that you get the bump. Also, in my opinion, if people want to do 60 mph on the motorway that is totally fine. Anyone who wants to go faster, and those whom go faster than the speed allowed, well why should they put other peoples lives at risk whom choose to drive at a safe speed. There is no need to drive excessively fast, set off earlier and you can drive at a speed that doesnt put others at risk. Trouble is that whether some people are early, on time or late, they drive dangerously and tailgate others whom dont wish to be put at risk of what can easily be a very serious accident.
  19. He was trying to hit a Swan he saw at the side of the road as he didnt have time to get a shotgun out.
  20. Monsieur Jayjay, I am very impressed you knew where the Joke originated. That was a classic series. I watched it only to see Jan Francis.
  21. My Gf told me she is a Vegan. She asked me if I know what one is. I said, yes, I never miss an episode of Star Trek.
  22. What colour vests?
  23. I think she is related to Merkel, she looks like her, esp with her glasses on.
  24. Quality. The funny papers.
  25. Perhaps the whole subject would be less captious if people were stopped from buying the Guardian until its all over. Particularly those reading Polly Toynbee.
