    At the risk of sounding like a miserable whiny git I really don’t find anything even slightly hilarious about people getting hurt, but you definitely do have to ask what goes through the head of some people. What did the guy running at the chain expect to happen? Or did he just momentarily forget it was there? Fool!

    In accidents, I would agree. But ppl have the right to be as thick as pigpoo and when we see such stupidity we are entertained. Highly. On liveleak there are plenty of clips like this, and worse. Deaths on motorbikes are particularly gruesome, but as usual they are 99% their fault and not an accident, so if not a giggle then a WOW! 🙂

    I always stick to 30 and 40 by speedo monitoring. 50 and above I tend to go with the traffic.
    I was done at 33mph by a Nazi in a mobile van at the bottom of a hill! This was the thickness of a speedo dial line.
    No matter what anybody says, the cameras are used to generate cash, they are NEVER used to generate a safety report on road condition, bad bend etc.
    The cash goes 3 ways, Police (Government), Local NHS (Fines to pay due to negligence) and the Council (All bent as hairpins). The drive for speed fines is immense!

    So instead of leading others into revealing their opinions, how about we hear yours?

    ?
    My opinion is fight for the British. End of. The loss of life will be greater on their side than ours. Military folk see it as an occupational hazard, to die.
    If Argentina kick off again, we shall finish the job, again.
    In 1982, there was never a mention of Oil, and we did go and protect.
    In 2010, our troops are better trained and better equipped, and we already have a base there. And my para friends agreed that a real enemy would be a welcome change, instead of the cowardly terrorist activities they’ve had to put up with lately.
    So, bring it on. We’ll probably get boycotted at the olympics by all the goucho based countries, that just improves our medal tally.

    I am sorry but I have to disagree. The question was leading, it was not straight forward and neither would be the answer.

    1) I have never seen a more non-leading question! It was a Yes or no answer. Mine is YES.

    2) All of you, stop the inner circle pally act. I do not recognise a Sandy or a Lance in the usernames, it makes tracing the thread a PITA. Thank you.

    Best. VC 10 Or maybe CV Coronado. No, the 10.
    Worst, ATP.

    That is exactly right. Argentina is such a brilliant country- apart from its politics. The people are amoung the funnest and friendliest, and the diversity of the landscape is breath-taking.
    Unfortunately, politics has put a downer on the country, advirtising Argentina as a cheat of a country and the President is probably trying to distract the attention of the citizens of Argentina away from the issues of the country, in the form of the Falklands.
    I hope this issue is resolved soon without tensions building. It would be devistating if it didn’t.

    That is trotted out as a quote for any country in the world.
    Tensions are building and have been for a few months now.
    Why will it be devastating? Oh, I see……a damn good South Atlantic campaign could save the skin of Brown!!! Oh, dear….this is more serious than I thought!
