SUSSEX POLICE

I was watching one of them reality Cop shows last and one of the subjects was about sport bikes. I am not talking about pedal power but big powerful motorbikes.  Sussex police have a policy of following fast motor bikes using a Cop on a fast undercover (no Police markings or sirens or blue lights)  motor bike to film them and nicking them for speeding using the film as evidence.  The speeding charge is correct.  Not only do they nick them for speeding, the Police also nick them for driving without due care and attention, which is quiet weird because the Cop on the unmarked motorbike that's following them without any lights or sirens is driving at the exact speed of the bike their following (there film footage proves it).
Also as a bit of a biker my self I know that driving at 110 miles a hour requires 100% attention and you are totally focused on every manoeuvre that you do, in fact you couldn't be more awake. So in my opinion being nicked for not having due care and attention is ludicrous. Please keep that charge for the car or van mobile phone users.  As anybody looked inside a modern day Area or Motorway Police car and noticed all the gadgets they have on their dashboard and around their windscreen, "total distraction material.

GUN PLAY IN KENBURY STREET

Just experienced seeing my first firing of a gun in London at 5 o/c this evening.
Man or youth wearing motor cycle helmet chased three 14-15 year olds into the youth club "KIDS COMPANY" in Kenbury Street, Camberwell SE5. This man or youth about 5' 6" chased the three youths out of Canterbury Close and fired a shot at them when he was about 5 foot in front of me and slightly to my right. The gun was a black hand gun that had squarish features. The boys run into the youth club and the gunman turned round looked towards me and run back through Canterbury Close, I heard no motobike. I know my account of this incident sounds like a Police statement but it's the simplest way of telling the tale.

As for me, my first instinct was to give chase but sensibility kicked in and I phoned the Police.
I also thought of taking a picture on my camera phone but no chance of that. What is strange it does not effect me to much at the moment and it's as though it's not unusual, perhaps with the constant reports in the news and newspapers of gun crime that we are all bombarded with on a daily basis it does not surprise us anymore.
 

I have just heard about the multiple shootings up at Whitehaven and I suppose my little episode sounds trival now.

BEWARE....IT'S COMING OUT OF OUR POCKET

Cuts are coming, the government is trying to claw from us 700 billion pounds to get rid of government debt. What money is about will become valuable and it will not be leaving peoples pockets. I would suggest that us Joe Public will be on the brink of despair and no hope as the government try to fleece from us every penny they can so watch out for stealth tax. For our sakes do not park on red routes, yellow lines or permit bays. Keep out of bus lanes and yellow boxes. Motorway cameras will be scouring for everything trying to catch some poor bastard so they squeeze money out of them. The charges for these minor offences are upwards of £60 and in London £120 for encroaching in a bus lane. And for your own sake do not park on a red route even it's just to read a sign as you will be stung, a women in my own town as just been fined £120 for doing that. These high penalty's may have been a good idea( I don't think so) when there was plenty of milk and honey but these days it's Extortion with a capital E. Being fined £120 for such trivia could result in a family not eating for the rest of the month or getting money from unsavoury money lenders just to get by. I see gloom
 ahead.

One way to do it.

20/11/10 Local councils are looking for permission to raise parking fine costs. The British Parking Association (contractor funded) support them. Bloody typical!  The contractors that do the councils dirty work are pushing for a hike in fines to.

Something on the bottom of my shoe

UK election today, vote for a "new" goverment (Yawn) another four years of the same old waffle. The banks cocked up and we foot the bill....Bastards!

Something strange happened to me

The fog the mist and Cold Blow Lane. Bill said the place was haunted, I gave this some thought and turned towards him, but he had gone!

I had met Bill not ten minutes earlier when he appeared out of the fog near the old damp brick railway arches which straddle the narrow part of the lane.

A few nights later I was wandering in the lane when I saw a glow in the mist, it was Bill stoking the fire which was burning brightly in a hot Chesnut brazier.

"Sixpence a bag" he shouted, "lovely and hot get your Chesnuts here only sixpence a bag".
Chesnuts were sixpence a bag in 1964 it was now 2009,"get them while there hot" shouted Bill.

The Fog closed in.

Whats it all about?

When you do something and you know you should not be doing it, but you carry on and the end result is disappointment or blood. How many of us have cut a piece of wood and the saw has jumped and ripped a finger(s) or banged a nail and whacked a thumb..0uch!!
Supporting Millwall FC is so much like that and you almost brace yourself even in the good times expecting something non-positive to happen, disappointment in play off failure, losing a game we should have won, losing by a dodgy penalty or crazy decisions by referees that seem to stack against us and of course the media, a half eaten meat pie chucked on to the edge of the pitch at the Den was covered in all the newspapers and even made it on the television, as soon as I saw that pie I thought "here we go we will get slaughtered for that and of course we did"
Grimbsy fans fight the police at Burton Albion and the Police draw batons but it hardly gets a mention.
Life would be much better if we all went off and supporting Manchester United or Chelsea, just imagine the happiness we would have, the club would have money, world class players and we would have success. We would not have to pay to go and watch them because they are always on the telly. We could buy a shirt and support the best.

Where's the whacked thumb in that?
