Or you need to turn your TV and Radio off...


This is of course humour but the world at large does genuiunely seem to have gone completely barmy in the last few years...

:james finlayson: doh!!!!

Not as impressive as this one currently being made



1 point for guessing whose new stand it is (no points awarded to Arsenal fans as they'll have an advantage) D'OH!

Why can't the BBC do something a bit controversial and perhaps challenge the use if cameras. A panorama special or somein like that, everyone believes panorama's findings.

Seems like Monday has been a day of utter madness, either that or my perceptions are all messed up. Almost every 5 minutes theres been something either on tv or radio regarding the speed camera menace, coupled with the usual lentilist dickhead morons spouting their tripe thru their stupid uncordinated pie holes.

I've been running around like a lunatic all day making a stand.

You want more? Find me the money to hire staff. It shouldn't be so damn hard. If one tenth of 1% of motorists sent me a tenner I'd have over a 1/4 million to play with.

I'm due on Talksport at 11:05 this evening and I started at 3am. Yes really.

Can't claim Paul's 3am start, but I've been putting paid work on the back burner too all day.

Interview with Central News in the morning - that went out on the lunchtime news and on the evening slot. Writing for the BBC website. Thirty minute phone in in the afternoon on BBC Oxford. Couple of calls with papers, and a lot of on-the-hoof desk research. Unlike Paul, at least I have my business to fall back on, but I spend rather more unpaid time on ABD things than I do on getting the mortgage paid...

It's insane that representatives of 36 million drivers should be scrabbling to fit things in around paid day jobs when Transport 2000 were looking at 6 figure budgets last year (I think that's right, but it's a while since I saw their figures). Oh what it must be to be PC, car-hating and love telling people what to do.

Donation sent. PayPal very easy.

What I'd like to know is where the likes of Transport 2000 get their 6 figure budgets from.

Surely they aren't governemt funded.

Unfortunately they only real help I can offer is a donation which will buzz its way to you on thursday.

Ditto. It makes me furious when I read some of the tripe that the anti-motorists come out with. I find myself thinking, somebody has *got* to put a stop this. And Paul's doing it, on a shoestring, with minimal support. Thank goodness we have people like Paul willing to stand up to them.

How can one donate money to SafeSpeed but not leave an audit trail?

Public Conveniences
Clay of Allan
Fearn near Tain
Ross-Shire
Scotland
IV20 1RR

Cash in a brown envelope, top of the cistern, third cubicle on the right. Avoid Friday evenings.

Just signed up for membership, something I know I should have done long ago.

It's 4 per month - what's that 1.5 pints of beer per month?

Paul what do you need from me so I can use my member privlages on the safe speed forums?

Cheers

Paul
