Preparedness for when

Don't attempt if over 40 though. I think you'll do yourself a mischief.

If God wants to run me over in the short period of time I'm retrieving my BOB from the boot, bring it on.

45 last month, and I managed it, though I did think "more yoga is required, and less me" :rotfl:

40 years of age or 40 mph?!

Your back seat probably has a split about one-third of the way along, so position your bag of necessities behind the smallest section. Be a good idea to practise this manoever parked up at home, to check that it's do-able in general and in specific to you. I'm not as bendy as I once was, I know....

Don't fancy wriggling from the front to the back at 40 mph! Funnily enough, that was exactly where the bag was when I tried it outside the house.

Has my boyfriend been bragging to you again, Bob? I've warned him about that before.........

You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend?

I wouldn't have stayed the night, if I'd known.

I don't get involved, with people who are with other people.

:cool: I normally keep him chained to the kitchen sink, Bob. You know how it is, I bring home t'bacon but I don't expect to have to cook it as well.

Sorry to disappoint you, but hotties like moi have to fight the fellers off with sharp sticks. It's a cross I've always had to bear, being so gor-juss and all. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've just had my regular monthly Threat-o-Gram from our mutual fiends (sic) from KafkaWorld and they've promised to visit, any day, even weekends, daytime or even *quivers* evenings. Oooh-la-la! They used red on the letter, too.

<<Rubs hands with glee at the prospect of having her very own 'enforcement officer' to torment, mwah ha ha! >>

And if I don't get them, the neighbours will, and they'll be sorry they set foot in Shoebox Towers.

I really would be asking to get run over if I got out to go to the boot at 40mph.

Yes but you could be trying to get into the boot via pulling down the rear seat all while trying to drive the car with your feet on the steering wheel? Still not safe if your hands are well away from the steering wheel, though not much difference from texting while driving.

Last month I decided to bite the bullet and cancel my TV License. It was just that I really do not watch live TV at all and every time i put the TV on it needs a rescan anyway so decided no more. So I went through the process and cancelled it. I have £72 coming back and decided to splurge on an NFL game pass instead. Plus I can now watch it on my iPad in bed so save energy over a TV being on.

In time I will probably have to deal with the enforcement brigade but since I am happy it is not a problem. Plus I have disconnected the TV aerial already. So a sudden inspection will not catch me out.

That is nothing to do with the governments unwillingness to invest. If they really wanted to build it they could. This is more a matter of ideology in that they want to privatise everything and what better than a foreign government. Much of our postal and rail services are owned by European state owned enterprises. It is purely ideological as there is no real merit for most of these privatisations as they will need subsidises for years. Just look at how much more the rail network costs us now compared to the British Rail era.

Derr, so an enterprise held in foreign public ownership is private but one held in British ownership is public? Isn't that just offshoring the public ownership? Can't they get British private companies (the big ones, not Ma Patel's sweetie shop) to chip in a pound or two to build things? (I guess most of them are already foreign owned though.)

Could be a big deal for the foreign owners though, as they could close down our infrastructure or sell it on, at will. Or sell the water and electricity to the highest bidder - not necessarily in the UK.

Is this another script written by the people who brought us PFI?

No its not offshoring the public ownership, because its private ownership and anything else would be contrary to what the government want you to believe.
Of course they owners could sell where they wished (and there'll be new cables to the continent to facilitate the free flow of energy.

It is, how did you guess - stop peaking behind the curtains, the Wizard doesn't like that.
Oh, and drink the Kool Aid.

I really wish I could say my answer was just sarcasm, but we seem to have reached the point where the reality is too far fetched for any form of satire or fiction.
