Yeah but swans look nice, who the fuck wants to go the park and feed the pigs?

Did that on Sunday mate, pigs are boss. Well better than swans. Swans are Tory c*nts.

[Nobby Reserve]

Came in just to post that. Been parking in a car park in town for years. Few weeks ago I just parked up for 20 mins or so to have my lunch and today got hit with a £60 fine. Pisses me off too much

If it wasn't issued by the council/police (and £60 doesn't sound like a council fine) then read this before you even think of making contact with the parasitic knob-rags who do this sort of extreme cuntery.

I've had around 25-30 of these over the years, never paid one and, after the first one (I only looked into it after making the mistake of calling them up to appeal) have never even responded to them. I think the most letters I've had in connection with one individual pcn is 5 or 6, the last one pretending to be from a solicitors (which I think is illegal); all went in the bin.

Breaks your faith, it honestly does. We have useless people running councils that will use any means of trickery to raise revenues. Drives smart people out of the country.

CCTV cameras are strategically placed to raise revenue. Yet up the road from me, vandalism and problems have happened for years, yet the police never do anything about it. Why can't councils put CCTV in places to catch criminals? The will isn't there ... it's all about money, and they don't realise the damage such short termism has on people. It turns good people into bad people.

Where did you do that?

Croxteth Hall Park, they've got a little farm there. Pigs, sheep, cows, meerkats (!) etc. Was really good, the kids loved it.

My 9 yr old loves pigs, we'll have to take them there at some point

[BlackandWhitePaul]

There is a fantastic place a few miles from me called BILL QUAY COMMUNITY FARM full of rare breeds of animals, not the ones you would normally see on Farms including sheep, goats, pigs.  I go there with my 2 year old sometimes and he loves it.  You can't tell me that little Piglets are not cute

Thanks for this, will look into it. It was issued by some company called ParkingEye, in association with BPA.

Piglets, like Lamb are dead cute - its the adults they grow into who are ugly.

[Nobby Reserve]

Tasty, though.

[Phil M]

A question as much as an annoyance, but has anyone else seen people driving with full fucking over hear headphones on?

Can someone explain how/why this became a thing and how they think it's safe to do so?

Good to see you adopt non-binary gender pronouns for your kid, so very 21st C of you.

Has anyone heard about pigs being abandoned following people buying piglets that they’ve been told were mini pigs?...

I thought I would try to stop being so neanderthal 

Yes, it was/is a big issue in the States

Plenty ugly humans around.  I think they should have their necks wrung then dipped in batter and deep fried.  We can start with Mike Ashley, there's plenty meat on that c*nt to feed a 3rd world country for a fortnight.

If it's not a council ticket, ignore every piece of correspondence, it's all scare tactics.

when Eminem comes on radio and you remember how fucking shit his music was

[SP]

The stripy cows of the A41.

[redbyrdz]

Cow crossing?

[Danny Boys Dad]

The stripy cows of the A41.

a) why do they annoy you?
b) they aren't small, they are big, and therefore have no place in this thread

[Peabee]

The stripy cows of the A41.

I’d be more annoyed that they’ve let the A41 become so overgrown.

[paulrazor]

Just me?

yeah ive seen them. has to be dangerous. if youve the volume up and someones blaring at you  for a mistake you could be in trouble

also would you be able to hear an ambulance, police car or fire brigade siren?

[QR350]

Did some research into ParkingEye, a lot of people did used to ignore them but apparently now they pass details over to debt collectors

[rob1966]

I've seen them too, there is no way that is safe.

[Phil M]

I've seen them too, there is no way that is safe.

This is it, I mean hearing is an essential part of driving.  I just can't fathom why people think it's a good idea or how it's practical or necessary.

Genuine question as I haven't got a clue and it's not something I've thought about before - are deaf people allowed to drive? Do they have to be able to at least partially hear maybe?

[Danny Boys Dad]

This is it, I mean hearing is an essential part of driving.  I just can't fathom why people think it's a good idea or how it's practical or necessary.

Not according to the DVLA or most road safety experts, but if you are distracted by noise that's different

A Scottish Championship club is facing a selection headache after its reserve goalkeeper was hit by a runaway cow.

Queen of the South's Sam Henderson, 19, hurt his shoulder in the incident on his father's farm.

First choice goalkeeper Alan Martin is out with a thigh injury with Jack Leighfield standing in.

Henderson was on the bench for last weekend's draw with Morton and was expected to do the same against Dunfermline on Saturday.

However, the accident has meant he is facing a race to be fit.

Regular number one Martin is expected to be out for five to six weeks which meant Leighfield played at the weekend.

That saw youth team keeper Henderson promoted to the bench last Saturday.

He was expected to take the same spot for the clash with Dunfermline this weekend which is vital to the Dumfries side's promotion play-off hopes.

The club confirmed Henderson had been struck by a cow and injured his shoulder and was now an injury doubt.

You’re saying he has a Fresian shoulder?

'Essential' may not be the right term in hindsight but it's clearly important.

[Medellin]

There is a motorcyclist i see usually in or around town who does his very best to look like a bizzy,smaller but similar motorbike,white helmet..high-viz & a band of squares around it which has 'POLITE' in caps on it too,just seen the fucker again & he has now got blueish sidelights on the front of his bike.
Never met the lad in my life but i can't stand the c*nt.
Irrational dislike to a wannabe copper.

[Danny Boys Dad]

'Essential' may not be the right term in hindsight but it's clearly important.

It's more about distraction rather than hearing, if you were playing loud music you might not be able to hear anything else but if you were still looking in your mirrors etc and being aware of the road conditions then it doesn't make much difference.

Anyone wearing a helmet and riding a Ducati 916 is probably effectively deaf to any other sounds around them but there's nothing to say that that is unsafe.

Probably to try and avoid some idiot closing the gap on him when he's trying to filter through the traffic

Well yes that's common sense.

But on topic my point was I don't understand how or why some people feel the need to wear full size headphones driving a car. I've seen quite a few recently. It's just weird.

Those POLITE vests are despised in the biking community, even more with these dickheads who are trying to impersonate the plod. A banker in London has recently been done for it https://smidsy.org/2018/02/09/biker-found-guilty-of-impersonating-a-police-motorcyclist/

Report the c*nt

DJ's talking over the start and end of songs. I think someone called out Lauren Laverne on 6 Music on here recently - very irritating.
