He does have a great selection of both cars and bikes.....including a 'widowmaker' 750 2 stroke Kawasaki triple and 6 cylinder Honda CBX.

My mate had a Honda CBX. They made an incredible tune back in the day when being wound up.  :y

At school it was common for kids to call each other a mong or a spaz......plus a few other terms of endearment. >:D

Quite why the police become involved when KH refers to herself as a spaz is beyond me.

I'm guessing it may have much to do with her politics. :-X

It's 100% personal by the police. She's a long time friend and supporter of Tommy Robinson so the police try to silence her by making the alleged charge process the punishment. The police have chosen who's side they are on, and it isn't the British publics side.

The British police are an absolute disgrace now. Any little shred of respect that we had a few years back is well and truly gone.
Any amount of incredible work done by those behind the scenes is well and truly overshadowed by the uniformed clowns on our streets.
They just seem intent on sinking lower and lower.  ::)

We've *got to* go to Birmingham in a few weeks but we'll go on one of those train things .....

Just think, if HS2 was completed, we'd get there ten whole minutes quicker,  ::) although we'd have to travel ten miles further by car to get on it.  ::)  As it stands, we have quite a few really nice car parks around our way but no actual track.  ;D
Err, you'd have to go a lot further than 10 miles.  You're nearest HS2 station would be Wormwood Scrubs I believe.  Which is about 75 minutes on a good day....

Ah, although I'll never use HS2 I wasn't aware of that.  :y  It just shows what little interest I've taken of it.  ;D

Always good when you can chill out instead of working.  :y  Happy for you that you had a productive day.  ;D

Going to a show that our daughter booked for us.

but the cop cars I have seen are unmarked and all you get to see is the blue lights hidden behind the grills when they start to flash with the headlights when they are in pursuit.

Unless you have Target Blu Eye fitted (TETRA Comms detection), and then you'd know they were there from half a mile away.  ;)
One thing I did learn on my patronisation course is the sort of distances their gear works over.  Not sure half a mile would be enough  :-\

My last set of points were picked up at just under 700m, as I came over the brow of a hill :(
……..

They claim detection at one kilometre, but seeing as I drive like an old granny now I’ll **hopefully** not need to worry about where they are.  :)

I have recurring lapses, hence the hopefully.  ;D

Director General and News Chief Executive have just resigned.
Excellent.  :y

I see that he had a car and a chauffeur, paid for out of the licence fee, and he very often stayed in a hotel in London instead of travelling the 40 miles home each night, again at the expense of the licence fee.  ::)

.

Personally we wouldn't need one , totally legal & neither of us break the speed limits anymore,we pay enough to run/maintain our vehicles & certainly don't want to contribute any more cash in fines.

Me neither.  :y  I tend to watch my speed constantly now, particularly on motorways. As you say, it’s not worth the aggro anymore.

Its quite nostalgic looking around https://oldsite.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl ;D

I agree, it is nostalgic.  :y  An awful lot of names from the past that are sadly no longer with us. Some very good help threads as well,  :y  and some very humorous threads.  :)

He is a JP, so a man of impeccable judgement. :P

I met quite a few JP's in my younger days, and none of them were very nice to me.  ;D  They always fined me for trivial things.  ;(   I mean, what is the harm in a 16 year old popping to the village chippy on his Moto X bike.   ::)

Bad for your cholesterol, presumably? ;)

Ah, that's nice. Do you know what, I never once considered that they had my welfare at heart.  ;D :y

Trouble is, on a certain level, we need it. It's the only broadcaster that's got the reach to get important information out quickly, to almost everybody.

I can honestly say that we haven't watched any BBC channel for well over 25 years, so any announcements would bypass me anyway. I hate, despise the BBC and I'd love to live long enough to see the BBC die a death, but I can't see it happening because our corrupt government will do their utmost to keep them going. I watch very little TV, and when I do it's a film from Netflix or a drama that we binge watch from itvx, but never, ever, ever anything from the BBC. Unfortunately for me, my Mrs watches all of the old stuff from 30 odd years ago, but thankfully never anything on BBC. When a BBC spokesperson was interviewed, he said that if the BBC get cancelled we'd lose shows like Strictly Come Dancing. Is that it, is that their best defence.  ;D
