Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Jimmy,
If you don't stop posting on here while eating a mars bar I shall report you to Ian for typing while not paying due care and attention.
I wonder if we can report anyone called Kev for a kind of trainspotters version of kerbcrawling???

Just been down the A55 and I want to report EVERY driver; they were ALL driving on the wrong side of the dual carriageway! And to rub it in they were all flashing their lights, sounding their horns, gesticulating and shouting;very, very rude I thought.

I want to report this motorcyclist for carrying an abnormal load without displaying the relevant warning signs!
The current regulations regarding the movement of abnormal loads are contained in the Government Statutory Instrument 2003 No. 1998 The Road Vehicles (Authorisation of Special Types) (General) Order 2003.

Oblomov,
As a kid I always wanted to be a Ninja when I grew up. Seeing the picture above (girl crushing motor bike) would have changed my mind. Talk about somewhere to park the bike.

Execline,
How dare you. That's an ex of mine and I'm under there somewhere. You can't beat it with the lights out. You should have seen her before the Atkins diet.

The thought police are back for 2008.
This time in the form of J D Wetherspoons.
Upfront and honest, I have 3 kids. Little swines, each and every one, but I do like to go for a meal as a family. Not usually to a JD wetherspoons though. Now this family pastime is under attack..................
This wonderful pub chain has announced that adults with kids can come for a meal, but are expected to eat up and clear off.
Lovely quotes include, "children are economically viable", "one drink with your meal and one drimk (preferably coffee) after and then you must go" "It is not a wonderful day out for children spending hours in the pub."
"We would not want a situation where the child is there for two or three hours."
Well Mr Wetherspoon. I know what is best for my kids and I will take them where I like. You do the same with yours. I have never been a fan of kids going into pubs, and I understand your concerns, but people in the great British pub, telling others how to raise their kids, have a history of getting the thick end of a pool cue out of their ears in casualty, and I support that too.
What i cannot support is someone saying, "come along and spend your money. Your money is welcome, you and your brood are not".

Sorry to clog the boards up again, but.........
Imagine working in the fashion industry and one day your colleagues annonce that for the following season, nothing red will sell. It is as fashionable as a Reliant Robin. You then go out and order every scrap of red material the planet produces. Someone would be at the dole office by the end of the day.
Of course it could never happen in industry. You need a government for that kind of cock up. Enter the Labour party.
I hazily recall an announcement last year that immigrants to the UK would have to prove a reasonable level of English before being accepted. Good idea.
Today I read of massive investment proposed by John Denham to teach English at a basic level to new immigrants...........free. This is to ensure cohesion and understanding in communities.
Hmmm. May I respectfully suggest to Mr Denham that he scales this down to a trial basis and starts with a community that clearly cannot communicate with each other in any meaningful way. The Government perhaps.

Gotta say I'm with Mr Wetherspoon on that one, Alan, though I'd go the whole hog and return to a ban on kids in pubs.
I'm all for human rights, but I'm also for my own human rights and others like me who have had evenings ruined by unruly kids. I dont go to pubs as much as I used to for that very reason. I've been to expensive pub/restaurants, paid �40-50 a head and had the experience totally ruined because parents seem to think it a god-given right to let their children run riot and do exactly what they want with no thought for anyone else.
If I were Mr Wetherspoon and unruly families were keeping possibly more profitable customers away I'd do the same.
And as for telling others how to raise kids - its about time someone did because a large percentage of todays parents haven't got a clue. In the past 30 years we've had to suffer an ever-increasing degree of delinquency in successive generations to the point where 13-20 year olds now commit most of our crime,17 -24 year-olds cause the most road accidents, our streets are full of kids only too happy to pull a knife or gun on you at the slightest provocation and downtown areas are a no-go on a saturday night because they're full of druggies and paralytic teenagers fighting and vomiting.
What is really worrying is that whenever anyone speaks out against it or tries to do something, parents object and defend the right to bring their children up as barbarians, and inflict their bad behaviour on others into the bargain!
And
'but people in the great British pub, telling others how to raise their kids, have a history of getting the thick end of a pool cue out of their ears in casualty, and I support that too.'
Perhaps you're the sort of person Mr Wetherspoon seeks to discourage, Alan, if you support that.
