The same point was mused upon by the presenters on the BBC breakfast/whatever prog this AM. -- Cheers! Fr Jack B12S (The Red Mist), CB450DX (The Moped) FRJACKUKRM AT GMAIL DOT COM Red death, to set you free
Judge wrote It is your own collective fault. The 9 out of 10 of you who insisted you were cleverer than the cameras have paid good money to have these systems developed and it is just a fucking shame that the small minority of more sensible riders have to pay the price for your stupidity. All you had to do was stick to the speed limits for a couple of weeks until the system went broke from lack of revenue and all of this shit would have been history.
Try this one: Digital gatsos that automatically read the plate and generate the fine? Why not tie all those in and photograph everything that goes past? This is an easy game to play. Find something the goverment has done to combat terrorism or crime and see how well it fits into the 24/7 ultimate surveillance plan, which must be what they're working towards.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Champ amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: Christ, even my crappy Mondeo does 130 and that cost less than 300 quid. <Snigger>
Don't blame the tool, blame the clueless fucking user. Because it doesn't post where *it* wants, it posts where *you* tell it to. And unless you have a working sig separator, don't fucking sign your posts, nobber.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Ace amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: <Nods> Doing 90mph on my GS450 is a trouser browning experience. Metaphorically, obviously, I've never actually shit my pants[1] when doing something scary. [1] But I did follow through once when I was on a public phone. I farted like a bastard and the backs of my legs went warm...
In Just, but it looks like Teflon Tony is caving in on the exemption that was proposed for food-free pubs. Its not just pubs, the MoD will soon be restricting smoking further. According to the this month's Navy News smoking will soon be banned in all Navy workplaces - could you imagine a smoker serving on a submarine who can't light up for 2-3 months?

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Bear amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: When I'm going fast on my bike it feels like /I'm/ going that fast, not the bike. If I'm going fast in the car it feels like it's the car that's going that fast and thus, I'm not in control.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Pip amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: I don't know, I don't think I've ever been in a puib.
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: I'm wasted on you lot but thanks.
Like any system, it will be abused by somebody. Ex-plod, now working in the private investigation and security field, for example. Ding! "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear." -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 On UKRM you're just a **** with opinions.
Typical cop think... "The term "associated vehicles" means analysing convoys of cars, vans or trucks to see who is driving alongside a vehicle that is already known to be of interest to the police. Criminals, for instance, will drive somewhere in a lawful vehicle, steal a car and then drive back in convoy to commit further crimes "You're not necessarily interested in the stolen vehicle. You're interested in what's moving with the stolen vehicle," Mr Whiteley explained." So... now the crims have been tipped off, they'll simply not drive back in convoy. How clever of the police to show their hand. Exactly. Do you know, I think I've passed one Gatso in the past 11 years. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 On UKRM you're just a **** with opinions.
"Andy Ashworth" <andy_at_the_hypen_dash_ashworths_dot_org_dot_uk> wrote in message Actually I can think of three people that smoke and work on subs. Apparently it quickly became second nature to them to "quit", whilst on a tour[1], then take it up again and smoke like a chimney once ashore. [1] Tour/Mission/voyage?
