What is hacking you off today?

[londonblue]

Just found out that a very dear friend has organised her wedding, to which I am invited, for the 11[SUP]th[/SUP] June, the day of England’s first group game, placing me in an invidious position – do I miss a single game of football out of a whole tournament, or miss celebrating the happiest day of her life together with her friends and family?

I’m sure she’ll understand.

My dad once had to attend a wedding when England were playing their semi final in 1966. Apparently all the men were in a room crowding round a TV. The wedding reception only really got going when the match finished.

***** that drive black Range Rovers behind me in the outside lane of the A13. I'm doing 70 (well maybe a little bit more) when chummy is stuck to my back bumper doing the headlights flashing bit. Complete moron and a dangerous arsehole as well given the traffic on the A13 Southend bound this morning. Made him wait for half a mile then let him pass, must have been doing in excess of 90 mph.

Contriving to lose a darts leg in which I threw a 180.

At least I'm younger than your Dad.:smile:

I can remember watching this game (and the final) in the TV room at Highfield College.

Eh, you are aware that the speed limit on a dual carriageway is 60mph aren't you?

Yeah, typographical error on my part, meant 60.

And in fact the Government.

It wasn't really. I was driving at the top end of the recommended speed limit for a dual carriageway. I still hate black Range Rovers that drive up my arse in the outside lane,

They are wrong then.

Who do I believe ?

 

[Pubey]

LOL what?

Obviously a duel carriageway can be 60mph or 70mph limit (for a car), but if there aren't signs to suggest otherwise (or it's national speed limit - white circle with black diagonal line) then it's 70mph.

 

[Benfleet A1]

Just checked. Then I'm wrong then.

Thankfully you are indeed wrong. Otherwise I'd be expecting a van full of letters soon!

I can breathe a sigh of relief!

Yeah, wot he said.

Did I tell you I hate black Land Rovers? Especially when they are going faster than the national speed limit on a dual carriageway.

Racist!!!!!!

 

[RHB]

To be fair there are parts of the A13 which do have a 50 mph limit, and also 40 mph near the M25 turn-off if you are lucky enough to be going that fast.

It'd be 60 for your tipper truck.

For step through mopeds perhaps.
