Any other metric would be as pointless as you. That’s not surprisingly stupid of you, given how often I appear to have made a similar wrong assumption. You bicker about simple straightforward statements, and present yourself as being unable to understand basic English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Even more outrageous really when you consider Bargain Hunt was on at the time, and he missed Tipping Point. What was he thinking?He didn't miss Tipping Point when his car rolled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few moments BANG a car runs into the back of me. Get out the car expecting the worst nothing on my bumper except a faint scratch. The young lad car had bits of his bumper and number plate fallen off his new car. It happened the night before I flew out on holiday so I let it go. How he could run into a stationery car baffles me. I was sitting stationary at the big roundabout at Linwood waiting for a space to pull out.After a few moments BANG a car runs into the back of me.Not a lot of damage etc.The driver was a woman in her 60s.How she could run into a stationary car baffles me.

Hendo Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Of course the Royals and their entourage in an act under the "we can do what we like" category immediately ordered a replacement car for the lovable bigot, and he was spotted the next day driving it without wearing a seatbelt. Maybe, after the public wailing when Princess Di died, he reckons snuffing it in a car crash would be a lot more rock and roll than dying in his sleep or choking on a fish bone. I suppose at the very least it would be ironic (allegedly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is.. Well HerMaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Who cares about seatbelts. It's his own life he is risking. Same with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect, I don't need you trying to educate me on what YOU believe to be the issue. For me, this is about not wearing a seatbelt and frankly I couldn't care less because it is his life he is risking. If you have another point to make then feel free to do so without the passive aggressive nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I choose to be aggressive then I would be clear. The issue you raised was about the seat belt. The issue I raised was about Her Maj being "above the law". I'm not comfortable with that concept for anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's law to wear a seatbelt if you don't wear one while the engine is on stationery or not is a automatic fine. Will be interested to see what action the Police take to this. The fact Edinburgh drives the next day without a seatbelt suggest the Royals are above the law. Not adaptable for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Queen is above the Law,she can do what she wants and cant be prosecuted. Old Phil is not and should receive the same treatment that you or I would receive.Whether that would actually happen is another story as if you or me pulled out across oncoming traffic we'd know all about it.

The first part of that sentence is irrelevant as regards HIM wearing a seatbelt. The second part about others having to clear the mess is fair enough but it's nowhere near as big an issue for me.
