..and all because no-one had sympathy for his breaking the speed limit.....

In order to make sense of the thread you are now missing:

What are you talking about?
You really shouldn't work so hard at demonstrating your ignorance in public.
Those who care all know and the rest expect no better.

Get your Jag here - typical deals £ 2K up front, £ 250 / month much better drive than a Ford. I dislike non stop traffic / audio warnings and usually disable them in favour of Radio 3. Maybe I shall have to review that.

enjoy

I removed it as some people are unable to debate any issue but prefer to behave like the schoolyard. Supercrutch is a case in point.

It must have been the manhood thread, Kathryn, because it's gone.

Thank you Dermot - I thought my comments may have upset someone. :-0


Allan, I can't speak for WA but I was last in Victoria in the early noughties (don't you love that word) and thought driving had improved from the 70s and 80s. It was infinitely better than the NE of England In the early 2000s which brought about the 'dog eat dog' comment from a relly visiting from London.

:-D :-D

My 'Manhood' thread was going much too fast for me! A diplomatic decision to dump it. No speeding ticket for me!

Anyway, a few of the mischief-making contributions were not worth the trouble of reading. :-P

Please ladies, a little decorum :-0

Perhaps it was.... ;-) :-D

He sure did :-D

Did he pull his Manhood when I was on it?

Joy, are talking about Dermot's 'real manhood thread'? :-D :-D :-D :-D

JoyLouise, when we first arrived in West Oz in 1982, driving compared to the UK, was very poor :-(

Now I'm not sure what has happened in the UK since, but certainly here driving standards have declined considerably

Have you noticed how the sort of people who appear on the Jeremy Kyle Show pepper their conversation with 'basically' and 'obviously' in a bid to sound better educated?

So, now I've got the gist of Rollo's writing from Sue, I can comment.

The standard of driving improved in Oz from the 1970s to the early 2000s both in urban and rural driving areas.

It compared badly with that of the UK in the 70s and 80 but extremely favourably by the early 2000s.

Several years ago one of my relatives described the driving in the region I live in as 'dog eat dog'. It was. That stretch of road he spoke about has since been vastly improved in behaviour and traffic flow by imposed lower speed limits, although there will always be risk-takers as well as people unwilling to drive on it.

I wondered where it went.

I also wonder where another thread I contributed went to? From memory it was started by Dermot so he may have withdrawn it.

It's a helluva job keeping up with all the disappearing acts. :-S

LOL :-D

Absolastically ;-) :-D :-D

A fine example of where emoticons can be useful.

Obviously :-D shows a bit of humour

Obviously with no emoticon shows grumpiness, and, to be honest a bit of confusion!
Why? Because 'unintrenchable' has no meaning.

So what is the word 'Obviously' implying this situation?

What I have written is meaningless - well yes, that (I believe) was intentional.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I only wrote it.

So, knowing 'unintrenchable' is a meaningless word, just what does 'Obviously' mean?

Perhaps the author is very cleverly going beyond the 'obvious', :-D and can see the word could be a replacement for 'unintentional', in which case, the response 'Obviously' (with no emoticon) is there intentionally (or intrenchionally :-D ) to display the author's disrelish of the situation.

Shame really.

Was that a touch of humour?

:-D

It was totally unintrenchable. :-S

Stanley Unwin that's a blast from the past.

Maggie :-D :-D
