It's 19.12, and it's getting late - beware flashy hire cars being driven a bit daftly

peterbaker

:rolleyes: It's another busy night for city police.

Never understood what caused it until this year. Then a little bird told me...

Hey ho. I wonder if the car horn I can hear being needlessly hammered will stop in five minutes time at 1130pm in accordance with the law of the land...

Actually I have a veritable cacophany of sounds available to assist my slumbers tonight before another busy day ... aside from the car horn, I have the revving of hi performance hire vehicles engines, hooligan type shouting from one car to another and from one end of the street to another, screeching tyres, booming music from the hire car sound systems...oh and occasional police sirens too ... but they are much more thinly spread across town tonight I imagine.

And I live in a quiet no through road on a private estate.

Phew the car horn stopped!

My compliments of the season to one and all :santa2:

I beg your pardon

I had one of those when I was a kid ... had to sell it ... I was hitting my targets too often

i wonder which party you vote for:mad:


i live in quit street (close) but can still hear swearing drunk shouting and all sorts from the law abiding citizens of this land(happens quite often CHRISTMAS or NOT )

Merry Christmas:beer:
i agree there is no need for what you saying there are better ways to celebrate EID:D

I'm sure I'll regret asking, but: how do 'hire cars' come into it (several times)?

peterbaker

I generally vote Labour, Tory, Liberal or Green thanks pingu, depending how far I've floated on the day ... Merry Christmas to you too :santa2:
PS I always thought that swearing and shouting in the street and public drunkenness were the province of law-breakers not law-abiders, or has the world been tipped on its head??

I agree that in some streets (not this one), 'traditional' (sic) Christmas drunkenness has been variable hazard for generations with some types (witness the Christamas Eve Mass/Carol service in Newcstle-upon-Tyne having to be brought forward to 8pm this year to avoid the problem).

Biggles old chap, Google "hire cars" Eid and you might discover a previously not widely known UK phenomenum of the new Millennium...


I understand there have been two Eids in as many months _party_

pingu

there are two Eids

1st one day after Ramadan ends

2nd one 2 months and 10 days after 1st one.

Eids go back 10 days every year because of 29 or 30 days in an Islamic calender month depending on moon

and same day/date comes around every 36 years:D

now i can't decide what to have tonight

vodka and coke baileys or few beers( manager gave me the night off) tough choice

EID MUBARAK

MERRY CHRISTMAS

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR:beer:

Eid mubarak, to one and all !
