I never said that. But given the general standard of comments on youtube, yeah I would be choosy about what I do post

If you post a video like that on youtube, it is exactly morons like that who will flock to it. And i twould be naive to suggest otherwise As for the video itself it is just the same lame old stuff again - councils make X amount of money from penalising motorists. And I say again there isn't enough penalising going on if you care to observe motorists for just 5 minutes. I've also said I am sympathetic to some of the claims made against excessive enforcement - but the OP's point was the he doesn't know anyone who disagrees with him and if this thread has done nothing else it shows him to be wrong there

just imagine - every time snorky has to sit down to post he has to decide.. which one am I today http://www.boxergifts.com/acatalog/spoons_main.jpg

depends on what you mean by expensive of course - but my recommendation would be Magdalen

ah the old mirror trick. LOOK! It deflects back at you! You're fooling no-one fella

I'm going to track down Present22 when they are dribbling alone and unloved in an old people's home and read that post back to them and then I'm going to go ha ha ha

"I missed a trick! I thought I had all of you ***ts covered but I forgot! Of course Glasto!!! Now I have another reason to hate you all whilst I pretend to live an unblemished, wise-decision-every-time life. (when really I have feelings of such self-loathing I hack my partner's forum account to participate in something I loathe. I only feel worse when I'm 'finished' and the cat - who I also hate did I mention - has been watching me)" Yours Snorky

But noone ever wants to discuss generic cons - they want to discuss if the one they have been subjected to is specific. Which makes every thing generic (to me) But it sounds like I'm trying to argue with you (and the OP) - but I'm really not. I was just trying to take a more high-level viewpoint. I'm not trying to admonish anyone But I agree with you totally about how hard it is for Admin

You're right - but my point remains valid. these scams everywhere rely on saying "whereweareseville" to lower people'e defences. To my eyes it doesn't make it a local issue. But nor am I arguing this thread should be lounged. It's just one of several threads where I've seen people ask "WHY WHERE WHO?" It's still not as bad as Nunhead Forum tho - where admin only has to cough and people ask why such a cough had to be heard in Nunhead and why if he coughs they can't cough too

because stuff like this happens EVERYWHERE and isn't confined to east Dulwich? Or SE London? Or London? Or GB? not even for today..

and look at you now - all happy and shit

There are things Ryanair do well as much as they do badly But the dealbreakers for me are the scrum for seats for an hour before the plane (even with children who have priority it's stressful) - just let me book as seat and then I'll get there in time. None of this plane boarding goto gate 43 now - only to get there and see a long line of people who won't actually get to board for up to an hour The other thing is the onboard noise - it's bad enough with looking after children anyway without the constant hawking and shrill "BUY LOTTO TICKETS" announcements

Ha - a link to a video where the second post is "blacks have no ideas of laws in this country they just make it up" and you say THIS is what parking enforcement is all about You are like the "lawyer" in Idiocracy

Long Time since we had a Zero Punctuation review - so here is LA Noire(e) http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/3347-L-A-Noire Worth it for the Tony Blair animation alone - but as usual it's much better than that anyway

I never made it in the end but glad it went well. Weever, that first hour panic is what makes the rest of the night so good!

I'm expecting djkq to tell James he knows nothing as there was no African drumming at the Ed fest, and he has no children. Or something It was blazing hot if I remember rightly and the flow of people from goose green to edt was mighty

I always imagine Honna looks like Mick Rock for some reason. Well, I say some reason...

Cafe east in surrey keys. Also Vietnamese but constantly wowing people. And it used to be a really naff chain bar too

This ^ 4 months later and I can remember almost everything about Mary & co - how helpful they were and nothing was ever too much trouble. Nothing but praise for them. We nearly didn't have to go to Kings, but in the end (and without any drama) we did need to go in and that went really well too.

That isn't what I said, or meant, at all. And I have an idea penguin knows it too I thought I was clear on common ground I could be wrong but I'm not reading the op as complaining about just the really petty stuff. But being caught at anything. So would I say driving while texting was as bad as fair evasion? Yep. Would I say parking a cm over a line even warranted any fine? Hell no. But I did say that that was an example that was being overplayed to make a wider point to berate wardens for even existing

Some good points from loz ? and to clarify again: I am against targets for wardens, I accept some of them are overzealous, no I don?t think behaviour such as removing identification on their cars is ok. And yes, those of us who have said ?don?t break any rules and you won?t get caught? would be well short of 100%on any exam With that said, however.. The petty fines angle is being overplayed to support an argument here I feel ? petty fines happen, and appealing them should be easier and I support all of that ? the fact is it?s a bit of a side-issue. Too many drivers play fast and loose, not through ignorance, but through arrogance. Go out to a street now ? and count how many people are on their phones, push their luck at junctions etc. The wardens on that basis should be sacked for allowing so many people to get away with it. But it is the fact that so so many drivers think themselves above the law that wardens exist at all. But hey once they exist then of course targets are going to be introduced, no matter how innapropriately, because modern thinking is obsessed with targets. I drive infrequently in London ? which on the one hand means by the law of averages I?m less likely to be caught? Or does it mean because I?m shaky on the practice I?m more likely to get caught out at a junction? In any case, it seems that by using common sense I have avoided a fine (so far) But lets say I get caught some day ? it would have to be extremely petty instance for me to complain about it on here. If they came out from behind a bush with Jeremy Beadle and an ITV camera crew I wouldn?t be so petty as to say ?ah well legally you shouldn?t be hiding? IF I had been caught on my mobile phone for example. Because even tho? they were sneaky, Iknow why they exist and I know I done wrong. To pretend otherwise is just arrogance To me, unless you have been really harshly penalised, the complaining doesn?t sound that different than the people on buses who complain about being fined when they caught by surprise inspections.

I hope so, but by golly listening to him on the radio yesterday he doesn't half love talking about himself

I'm in total agreement about scrapping targets btw But i posted because the op was insisting that noone disagreed with him. For pointing out that wasn't true i got called an idiot So I'm inclined to think it's exactly that mentality that is the underlying problem. An inability to see a bigger picture will mean permanent outrage and a sense of being picked on As for people pointing out the rules of the road are arbitrary... This may be true but it's what you sign up for when you take the test.

From what I can tell from comments on here, the hiding isn?t very effective ? people can see them and people are aware that the ?hide? anyway. So all the drivers on here appear to be aware that as they approach that junction there is chance of them being caught ? so the theory is that with that awareness, the drive more carefully and don?t get caught. And the junction is safer as a result. Unless, some drivers prefer to take risks and then complain when caught - which costs them and keeps the junction a more dangerous one. Time of day shouldn't playa part in it - safe/correct driving is the same at any time of day I?m not trying to be argumentative ? I just don?t see what the real problem is.

My PS3 gets used for dvd/blurays mostly - gameswise I haven't found much to prefer it to xbox. FFXIII was one of the few games I plumped for PS3 version as it was demonstrably better suited, but must multi platformers come out better on xbox it seems plus the network infrastructure for online gaming seems much more robust on xbox (and that includes pre-sony network broohaha of last 2 months)
