Junior Pub League Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 You are working from home and doing f**k all so if the Zoom meeting starts at 10, turn the f**k up by 10:00 Not 10:03 or 10:05 but by 10:00. Sheer bad manners to be late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Some USAian friends of ours took a driving holiday in France a couple of years ago. They sped everywhere quite cheerfully because they mistakenly believed that a) As they didn't see any traffic polis, there was no speed enforcement and b) That being visitors from abroad, they would get away with it even if they were stopped. Shortly after they returned home, the fine notices started to roll in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No points. I know somebody who used to go to France to snowboard and for something like 3 years solid was getting fines and dodging them. The next year he went he was huckled and thrown in the jail for about 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm not a massive fan of speeding, largely because of being forced into attempting an emergency stop at 75 mph once. Still have nightmares about that. I'll occasionally switch off and find myself drifting into that kind of speed like everyone else but prefer to stick within the limits and keep my wits about me. f**k knows what it feels like to have to hit the brakes while driving at 100 mph plus in an emergency but I'd be willing to bet that 90 percent of these c***s that drive at these kind of speeds would have no clue about how to carry this out safely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stopped at Schiphol Airport once and they wouldn't let in until I paid a library fine from when I'd been working in Amsterdam before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I parked a hire car right outside my mates flat in Toronto after he told me it would be fine and I wouldn’t get a ticket, I got a ticket. Got a letter through the door back home, ignored it and the car hire company took the money from my credit card with interest. I left Australia with a shit load of parking fines and a not wearing a seatbelt fine. They got ignored as I’ve no intention of ever going back to the place. The car me and my mates had which was parked outside out flat in Bondi Junction, would get a new ticket every day. It got to the point where we just stopped driving the car and left it outside with about 100 tickets on the windscreen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I wish they would stop apologising for the swearing on the football. Or just issue a blanket apology at the start of the broadcast. Tedious shite. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all fair and well until the police chap your door at 5am and you're barred from every ground in Scotland and have to check in at a police station every Saturday. Allegedly.
