Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

That's a big word. Did you attend Eton?

 

When the police decide to let their egos use their powers illegally. YouTube has lots of examples of this, months down the line plod cough up hundreds/thousands of pounds in compensation. Section 1 of PACE, section 50 of the police reform act, section 43 of the terrorist act, all of them regularly abused by the police.
A police officer once told me that one of their biggest bugbears is a member of the public that knows their rights.

 

It's worth realising that contrary to their oft claims, the Police are not the law, they're simply upholders of it and to do that, they get a lot less training than a hairdresser does.

 

Thanks Mr Teasy-Weasy

 

What I have been watching for the past week is, the weather. Hoping to get away on the bike for a long weekend but the weather people kept telling me it was going to rain. As I sit here looking out the window at the evening sunshine all I can think is bastards !!!!!!

 

One of South Hunsley's finest.

 

I'm ten days back from three nights in Northumberland - it was bone dry but the NE'ly wind was fairly sharp, we still had some great rides out wrapped up in the appropriate gear. First time ever we ditched the B&B and rented a little house for three nights, spotlessly clean and a room each for the three of us - the bonus being at the end of our drive was the best pub in Berwick On Tweed, The Pilot Inn; a proper pub with friendly locals, no jukebox, pool table, dart board or telly - just locals chatting and properly kept beer at £3.80 a pint. If you're ever looking in the N'land/Borders area you should check out Stow House in Berwick On Tweed, I can't recommend it and the roads around it enough.

Linky thing

Here's something I've only just found out.

Which is the biggest City by area in England?

Spoiler: Have a guess before peeping.

Carlisle

 

Nice.

I'd recommend a stroll into town to visit The Curfew micropub on your next visit.

 

Good call Ernest, it's just up the road from Limoncello Italian restaurant, we had a couple in there first night, called in Brown Bear and Good As It Gets - was a Sunday night so pretty quiet but spill had some good chat with the few locals we bumped into.

 

Just watching the US F1 GP, only in America! Oh, and frig knows where Martin Brundle got his shirt from.



The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

He's probably trying to fit in with the American desire to take tackiness to whole new levels.

Max Verstappen seemed to be wearing his packing up in his vest pockets.

 

His packing up will never ever include humble pie, the Belgian ****.

Here we go again.
This time Stella preaching, on behalf of Charlie, about the environment & sustainability .... whilst an audience of thousands have once again been given single use lighting wrist bands. Idiots. Join the f'in dots up you muppets. Are they really that thick?

 

She was talking, but her lips weren't moving that's for sure.

 

He shouldn't have touched the camera, and had no right to stop him filming never mind arresting him.

 

Rich is climate activist turned filmmaker. In the making of FINITE:, Rich spent a year and a half living in protest camps in the UK and Germany with the ...


Just to flesh out the bones of "film maker, press accreditation".

Cannot think why they chose that time and place to protest, didn't know they played snooker in the street.

Kudos to them, if I have to swerve round dozens of them picketting petrol stations. Blockading refinery gates., Nah, all very, wear a tee shirt at a prominent event, home in time for tea and dunkers.
