French NIP?

No. They can't get the information they need to send the fines from the
Brits, at least not legally - data protection act(s). They have the same
problem with most other foreign registrations. Besides, they have no legal
authority to stick points on your license - the French have a different
points system.

The Belgians try to catch you (as a foreigner). If they do, they escort you
to a cash machine and make you pay the fine there and then in cash -
typically about ?500+. If they don't catch you, you'd generally get away
with it, as there's no standard EU cross-border way of exchanging number
plate information. They are usually on the lookout for French or Dutch
registered cars though.

 

out of greyhound bitch?

 

A small hare is called a leveret. Uselss factoid.

 

FACTOID

"The "-oid" ending in English is normally added to a word to indicate
that an item is not the real thing. A humanoid is not quite human.
Originally "factoid" was an ironic term indicating that the "fact"
being offered was not actually factual. However, CNN and other sources
have taken to treating the "-oid" as if it were a mere diminutive, and
using the term to mean "trivial but true fact." As a result, the
definition of "factoid" is hopelessly confused and it's probably
better to avoid using the term altogether".

 

You can always rely on a bunch of journalists to **** up a language

 

Incorrect factoid, more like. The young are called 'levraut'.

Put your handbag down. TOG was referring to the English language.

 

No information is completely useless.

 

You think he didn't know that?

 

Indeed. I stand corrected.

 

He'd be right: I didn't.

There's got to be a "truss" joke in there somewhere.

Heh. One of my unreasoning pet hates, Factoid is. Bloody Steve
Wright and his unfunny studio cronies.

He'll be saying it's because he's forgotten his English next, you mark
mes mots.

 

There's years of Champ's favourite "sit corrected" joke in there, and
somewhere right at the back, an orthopaedic stool.

 

No, I don't believe I ever leared that word. Don't you look silly again?

**** off, you thick ****.

I was only kidding. Kiss and make up ?
