Hit a bicyclist, get an award, have the Mayor buy you dinner to express the gratitude of the people. JC, That lady needs the roman candle shoved down her throat or stuffed up her......take your pick.

And I must say that i just found this blog and love it... 4 points for cyclists is what i hear, 1 for pedestrians since they are 50,000 times slower.

The onus is on the owner to ensure that the dog is fully licenced. It similar for TVs but you don't see many of them driving these days. The law is different for dogs.

The onus is on her to prove that you did it, and not on you to prove you didn't. A Roman Candle under the central heating oil tank can be quite effective. Especially on a dark night. Nick - Our Sandy does a lot of driving. She is exceptionally good. Driving licences only apply to people. Dogs are exempt. JC - What about ‘innocent until proven guilty’?

The South is more anarchic than I realised. And presumably they're all driving on provisional licences with prominent L plates? Good grief, Grannymar, are dogs regular drivers down your way?

Fortunately, this bitch managed to park her car out of sight of CCTV, and claims that she was the only witness to the event, and I unfortunately am unable to prove my exact whereabouts at the time she arsed up her own car, so she does have me checkmated between either paying for her mirror or paying my bastard lawyer ten times as much NOT to pay for her mirror. I have demanded her home address in order to send her a cheque, and I now find myself fearing for her personal safety and that of her house, given the well-noted dangers of fires and explosions resulting from fireworks at this time of year.

I did fix my mouse though and that's a huge relief. It was hard trying to find homes for all the little ones. My keyboard is fine. I did fix my mouse though and that’s a huge relief.

Pick a reg at random and sue them. That is pure genius! I must try it. I trust you set fire to her car? 5h4mr0(k - You still haven't fixed your keyboard, I see? By parking on the footpath, you are nearer the gate/door/shop/whatever. You only become a pedestrian once you are out of sight of your car. Up to then, motorists will treat you with a modicum of respect, as they know you're a driver. I've heard of those American things. Drive by shootings? Nick - Kids should be firmly strapped in place. If necessary, they should be chained and gagged. Dogs should not be brought into a car unless they are well trained. Like my Sandy. Shagging while driving? Ah! Sweeeet memories.. ;) JC - Nice one!

Passengers seem to think the car drives itself and concentration is unnecessary.
