Or you just attach a chain from the towbar to something solid and drive forward and pull it back into shape. ;) ;D
I actually did that with my daughters clit years ago and it worked a treat. Probably made from recycled "le coca cola " cans though. ;D

Its been a bad Autumn so far...

Mrs TB's brother's Audi was written off after a Porsche used the accelerator rather than brake a couple of weeks back
Mrs TB's dad's Laguna is looking like it may get written off after being rear ended a couple of days ago

Then Gayboy's Omega losing an arguement with a Range Rover


Is it something in the water, or is it the 'bad' weather this time of year?


Or is it just the roads are full of arrogant, inconsiderate cocks?

Sorry to be horrid. Audis are common, Lagunas are still made, Chris's Omega is the worst accident.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt in any of these.

They all cause nothing but inconvenience to the innocent party:
Mrs TB's brother, although he got way over book price as a settlement (it had well over 200k on it), cannot get a similar, suitable replacement car.

Mrs TB's dad hasn't long had the car, and has spent money getting up to his standard, none of which he'll get back when/if its written off. Then he has to search for a replacement.

Gayboy, if written off, is likely not to get what its worth, and reading his posts, runs a risk of losing his NCD even though its not his fault.  >:(



And all these accidents will put up all our premiums, due to the carelessness of these arrogant, selfcentred tosspots  >:(

Too many numpties and I also have seen some deliberate stupid driving.

I think there should be a law that children should be kept in a separate compartment to the driver if they are carried in a vehicle rather well walk to school like I used to. >:(

Agreed.The road outside our local primary school has to be seen to be believed in the mornings.cars parked at random angles all over the place (despite double yellows)and cars trying to squeeze through gaps which are often smaller than the car trying to get through. These cars are mostly owned by parents who live less than half a mile from the school, who probably clog up doctors surgeries trying to find out who is to blame for their childrens obesity. ::)

I helped out at a scout event this weekend along with a few mates from the radio club. The car park of the place was closed as we were trying to erect antennas there, and we, along with the other volunteers who had given up part of our weekend to entertain other people's kids, needed to bring vehicles in to offload our kit.

Clearly signposted: car park closed. Plenty of other parking the other side of the road meaning a walk of 100 yards or so.

How many parents do you think shoe-horned their mummy-bus past the traffic cones because these rules apparently don't apply to them? Couldn't believe the attitude of some of them when politely asked to park elsewhere while they drop little Johnny off before they swan off shopping while we provide our free babysitting service!

We have somehow ended up with a generation of utterly self-centred and unpleasant people. Their driving standards are just the tip of the iceberg. :(

An utterly self-centred and unpleasant person recently told me she had to drive her daughter to and from school because the roads are unsafe for pedestrians due to the number of bad drivers around at school-run time.

We have somehow ended up with a generation of utterly self-centred and unpleasant people. Their driving standards are just the tip of the iceberg. :(

Exactly - how have we changed so much since the generation that helped each other through the war - the ones who had grit and determination, and had respect for themselves and others? As you say, driving standards are just the tip of the iceberg, there are so many instances of this terrible attitude in everyday life.

I despair of the world that I'm bringing my kids into sometimes, I really do  :(

Indeed - saw a car full of youths, of Asian descent, stop and start beating the crap out of a white youth at lunchtime.  No idea what the catalyst for it was, and by the time I got there, a couple of other blokes had broke it up.  Surely more respect is needed in the world?

I suspect had I been able to run, I'd currently be 'helping police with their enquiries' over an incident in 5 youths getting a good slapping.


That said, this is Bletchley, the hellhole of the planet, so not unexpected.
