As a work colleague remarked yesterday…If he was alive today I know what he be saying:”GET ME OUT OF THIS BOX!”;) – Nermal

Another record, probably. – Nermal

One of my best mates got killed in a motorcycle accident a couple of months ago because some idiot was sitting around a blind bend in his car on the phone he was just stopped there my mate had no chance of avoiding him, someone decent like him gets killed then you get all these sick people that rape old women and young children and if they get caught we have to keep them in a nice warm prison getting out early if they behave well. There’s no justice.

I agree with you about idiots and blind bends, having rolled up to photograph many motorcycle accidents myself and it is never going to be a pretty sight, but I feel that I must point out that had it not been a parked car but a slow moving tractor or a horse and rider (and I have attended those type of incidents as well) then the result would still be the same – you cannot go hairing around blind bends at high speed without the chance of an accident happening eventually. I had to cover a police motorcyclists training course once – the instructor gave them an amusing speech about imagining that some idiot might have built a brick wall just around the corner out of sight, and about not leaning over the curb because someone could have buried swords hilt first in the ground just to see what might happen. – Nermal

In Alan Mitchell’s book he noted that when they’d first met, Cobber was a very fit, large man.

Rules out Tom Cruise, then;) – Nermal
