OldWorkHorse 2,992 #83 Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Not sure if I can post this here or not but it seems to fit the title pretty well! Saw this on my way home today. And yes the rest of the sled was attached and shoved to the drivers seat the guy was pretty much hunched over the steering wheel to fit ... ahh the things you do for fun! (Also that thing in the hood isnt a hood ornament it's about 6, dollar store flashlights taped together for the headlight on the sled....)

Seen a similar sight one day, guy had one of them stand up sail board thingys shoved into a little Ford Hybrid... "CMAX?" don't know the name of the board thingy or the car. It was right up to the windshield, and hanging out the back and he was leaned to the left with his head almost on the driver side door window. People are crazy! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 4,151 #91 Posted March 1, 2021 Now this is a good one! Pitching a tent on the edge of a cliff! During lockdown with all but essential travel banned. With a child. £200 fine. They should take away the child for starters. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 4,151 #96 Posted March 31, 2021 There is no individual prize this week, more like a national prize for Great Britain as a whole. Day one of the very slightest lifting of lockdown measures and we have huge groups of IDIOTS congregating in parks and on beaches, partying, drinking and generally showing how little brain we possess. One of our local parks had six tons of litter dumped in one day by these mindless and selfish yobs. I know lockdown has been tough but for christs sake it's only been a few weeks. Makes you wonder hiw this generation would have fared through WW2. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You were discreet in not awarding last week's prize to the "spring break" crowd that descended on Miami Beach causing the city to impose emergency curfews. Similar air-headed behaviors at the root of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 4,151 #99 Posted March 31, 2021 What really vexed me is that a war memorial to an American bomber crew who were killed on the park had been vandalised by these complete Bast@€£#$ The plane Mi Amigo crashed on this spot avoiding children playing in the park and killing all on board when they may have got down safer if they had ignored the kids. I really hate people sometimes. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,151 #100 Posted March 31, 2021 Can I add a last minute entry? On Monday a guy called at a neighbours house offering to clean her windows. She went to get him the money and he sneaked in her house and took her car keys, driving off in her car. He came back today and offered to clean her neighbours windows! Needless to say he is now examining the inside of the windows at our local police station. What a total dumpty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
