Just drowning my sorrows...
60 quid fine and 3 points for speeding
And to top it all off sally has just picked up a fixed penalty for running out of time in a car park in Retford... 25 quid
Shit start to the year someone break a match please

Tolerance will be our undoing.

A guy I was working with recently got yet another speeding penalty thru the post ( on his mrs car which he uses a lot ) He wrote back to dispute so the cash camera people sent him a photo, yes the mrs car. He replied saying the index number and colour matched but there the similarities ended. He changed the rear lights for Lexus style ones, fitted a tow bar with bungees, fitted rear spoiler with masking tape, photoed the car and sent it back to CashCamera.com... They replied saying it was clearly a case of number plate cloning ! Not sure it will work with timed parking meters tho.

Moomin..

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I think the gimp suit may have been a bit of a mistake and could take some explaining.
Pete got away with his by announcing he'd taken up extreme scuba diving .....

After all the rest, you just have to go for the white boots.
It may also help the wife and other people to "understand" you better if you wear them regularly!
