how many of today’s ‘bad drivers’ have never, for example, ridden a bicycle to school when they were younger?

Maybe more than had the opportunity to actually see a cliff edge when they were younger?

The bane of my firefighter friends life was OLDER motorcyclists; the younger ones apparently came with a lack of experience which actually made them wary of things like sharp bends and oncoming traffic (plus there were plenty of replacements) whereas the ‘born again bikers‘ were coming back to it after a decade or two away, with dulled reactions but that feeling of invincibility that having a car wrapped around you gave – without realising that they were no longer in a car, now being just on two wheels.

Joining some form of cadets might help instill a sense of proportion with cliff edges and educate them about things like rock climbing and abseiling…;o)

Really historic?

(Giving away the plot, somewhat, it’s from a Russian film…)

Shouldn’t have mentioned that here – bit like red rag to a bull with this lot, or claiming that Spitfires are boring…;o)

This HTC Sensation I have dies in no time.

Had no problem like that with my HTC One: just with the Windows OS, which was lousy and so unsupported it was unbelievable. Managed to mislay it somewhere and go back to my old Android Samsung.

As for Tigers in Africa – they are found in Asia so not dangerous hunting Tigers in Africa.

So very dangerous when the hunters want their money back, even more so if you find some tigers on your African travels: well, you try telling them they are in the wrong place…

Hmm, I can see who wears the trousers in that house!!

Watch it matey. Wouldn’t want an Apple thing, but she does. Wouldn’t want to wear skirts either, but she has never said I couldn’t…
