At least now it will have a marker on it.

If I see a car being driven or parked dickishly I will often run it through Askmid and the DVLA tax/MOT checker just in case.

That's good to know. So in theory if he drives past a police car it will 'ping' and they may stop him?

It's one thing having no MOT but I despise assholes who think insurance is optional, and drink drivers. You just know if he crashes he'll run if he can.

I'd be having a word with your daughter' pal's dad if it turns out to be his other half that was drunk driving. Next time it might be a child or pedestrian she hits. I won't say what I really think of people who are selfish enough to drink and drive but will say I don't wish her well. 

It wasn't his other half but the drunk driver knew him coincidentally. She knocked him up out of bed and he let her go inside.

Unbelievably a taxi driver stopped beforehand opened the door as she was trying to drive away and straightened the wheel up for her. Luckily the car was too fucked to go anywhere.

My neighbour with the fire place shop sent me his cctv footage. It looks like there was a car waiting at the lights as she raced up and drove into the bollard instead of rear ending the other car.

Apparently she's very sorry. So that's okay then.

40 seconds in you can see how drunk she is. How can you even open a car and get start it in that state? Muscle memory?

 

[Split_Pin]

Fucking disgusting and none of those who stopped thought to call the police. I hope she gets caught one day, busted and then loses her job because she can't drive any longer. 

I've shopped several drivers who were driving very erratically and weaving all over the road.

Wankers.

It was my partner who phoned them. There were numerous drivers passed and did fuck all.

Apparently she's from a well respected loaded family and hopefully this will have big repercussions.

The only big repercussion that'd be worthwhile is firing that cunt off at the sun.

Surely she will get a day in court?  

The bad news she was uninjured and good news nobody killed.

Interestingly* badly parked sport visiting cunt neighbours wasn't showing on askmid yesterday. Neither was Mrs. cunt's shaguar. Today both are insured. I get the feeling all these shit head builders* have an m9 in common who's sticking them all on a trader's policy. Which is a great scheme as they'll show as insured. Bit fucked if one of them ever gets a producer, or stacks it and the trade policy people investigate.

I'm far from the most perceptive person in the world, and I've never been particularly great at reading other people.  Having said that, if I joined a forum and within a couple of weeks pretty much everyone on there (including people who normally can't even agree about the colour of the fucking sky) had decided that I was a massive cunt, I would like to think that even I would have the sense to realise that it's probably not the place for me and beat a graceful* retreat.

[chadders]

But probably not if you craved attention to the exclusion of everything else.

I guess that it's the 21st century equivalent of standing on a soapbox on a corner of the local market square and ranting nonsense.

I've been here a while. What are you saying?

Came back from weekend at the Mrs's to thud thud thud music* coming from next door and this parked blocking the pavement. Oh joy they've got Mr. too important to walk round.

For giggles ran it thru askmid, and surprise it isn't insured. Thought there's nowt to lose by trying cops live chat, and they thought he's a naughty boy and next car in the area will take a look. Let us know if it moves plz. Mr. pissed got in it and drove off, not 5 mins later got a cop ring up asking if it's still there. So close to a nobbling!

I took a Peugeot minibus down to the local specialist to have the air conditioning re-gassed. They phoned me an hour later to tell me that rather than the usual 4-600g of refrigerant, the Boxer holds a full 2 kg. It would therefore cost double £120, did I still want it doing? It's done less than 10,000 miles & I'm not paying. Of course I do!

I was listening to the radio earlier, and the cash register comp comes on. Basic premise being you spend £2 to enter, and someone gets a random call, tell them today's amount and you win.

Presenter is giving them all this "how would it change your life?" nonsense and then says "I need today's amount in pounds and pence exactly".

Woman says "33,333 pounds 33p". Which is wrong!, correct answer is £33,333. 

Unlucky chucky says presenter. I thought what a bitch, why did you say "and pence" when you know there's no pence involved? Felt like she was directing contestant to a losing answer.

I feel slightly less of a cheeky twat now, as I enter every day but not by giving them £2. 16 free entries daily on the the website with the t&c page.

I don't trust radio comps after a secretary of mine used to win lots of prizes along with her friends, her Dad was the presenter on what was a quite large radio station  ! 

[Alan_Green]

I was just listening to New York DJ Ron Bennington telling the tale of how a big U2 prize promotion his station ran in the 90's (that included flights to Dublin and hotel stay for two) was coincidentally won by his coke dealer.

Sounds like spot the ball competition. No matter how close you are you will never win.

[jakebullet]

Cash register is possible to win. I'm on a comping group and 2 have managed to win it via the free entry route. Problem is it's across a huge number of radio stations, so your odds are tiny but worth a go for nowt.

Off on a collection tomorrow and the seller wants cash. Since I've not been near one of the 3 branches left of my bank in the last week, it's involved many trips to the cash point. Counted it out today and I'm £20 short somehow.

New notes can stick together - might be worth a recount.

The main grump is that these fuckers unfortunately didn't receive a lashing to the baby maker when that strap recoiled...

Christ,  that was a shambles wasn't it. Just as well there's no police within a 20 mile radius to catch them. 

Also not sure if I'd have posted a video of me ringing the police from my flat as they're probably not the nicest of people. 

[purplebargeken]

Fuck me, bloody police controller wants blood type and fucking dna sample info too.

I tell myself what a twat I am most days. On the other days, someone else will point it out to me, as if it were new news.

All seems a bit wasteful tbh. 5 blokes wages, a nicked 10k? range rover, a nicked 2k transit and all that risk for about 5-10k cash. And all that risk?

Numbers don't really add up, they'd be better off just ringing the vehicles.

Could you just nip out & arrest them  & bring them in during office hours as all our operatives are busy at the moment.

to be fair they probably can't add up so don't know the number don't work 🤣

More amusingly I'm surprised it didn't break down half way through being a Land Rover lol

My mate who's a solicitor says nobody really does 'blags' like that anymore. You get 10yrs straight away for an armed robbery where you might get a few grand like you say. 

Its all fraud these days. You can get £50k in VAT fraud easy as chips and the sentencing is probably less than half of the armed robbery. 

You get the odd mugs like these guys but villans with even half a brain are cloning credit cards for 10 times the money with none of the risk.
