We always watch BBC
Midlands Today at 6.30 during the week.
Last night I sat and watched a report of a young yob racing around an
area of Coleshill being chased by cops and being filmed by his mates on their
camera phones. This yob was chased by
cops as he raced along the wrong side of the road forcing oncoming drivers to take evasive actions to
get out of his way. But guess what ...
even though this yob is no stranger to the cops with multiple motoring offences
behind him; even though he was driving without insurance, driving while banned,
driving dangerously, all offences he admitted in court; even though he was out
on licence from prison, he got away without being sent to jail! Just what are these pounces sitting in court
thinking about! This nutter by the name
of Steven MacInulty - I name him because the Telegraph did so - was sentenced to an eight months suspended
prison term, 200 hours unpaid work, £1800 in costs, a three year driving ban,
and has to sit an extended driving test when he does take finally take it. £1 to pinch of salt he doesn't take any
notice of it! He was already banned from
driver, yet was driving again so how much notice will he take of another
ban. The £1800 in costs won't be paid,
and the chances of him doing the 200 hours unpaid work are 0%. Yet again we see another instance of lack of
respect and discipline, and all the judge does is tut tut tut, and wring his
hands and lets the Nutty MacInulty go so he can carry on as if nothing had
happened. Maybe it's time that law
abiding members of the public were allowed to sit in court to ensure that
offenders got the sentences they deserve!
The paper carries a photo of badger today - with a gunshot
wound between the eyes. It's unbelievable
isn't it? How can someone even think of
doing that and then leaving the poor animal to die on the side of the
road? Ye gods ... just what is this
damned country coming to. I always said
that when I become one of the idle rich I would move to Cyprus to live. Later today I shall go and but a lottery
ticket in the hope of getting away from here.
Today's photo is of the type of truck that I passed my
driving test on in 1967
it's a Bedford RL.
During out driver training we were shown that by leaving the truck in neutral
we could move it catching hold of the rear tyres and pulling them round. OK, it's the same as pushing the dammed thing
really and I certainly wouldn't have wanted to try to move one out of a muddy
field, either pulling or pushing ;-)))
In the light of these present days of added aircraft
security, I offer this one from the Sage ...
A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on
the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his black
Labrador Retriever in the middle seat next to the man.
The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane.
The second man explained that he was from the Police Drugs Enforcement Agency and that the dog was a 'sniffing dog'. 'His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is. I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.'
The plane took off , and once it has levelled out, the Policeman said, 'Watch this.' He told Sniffer to 'search.' Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds. Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the policeman's arm.
The Policeman said, 'Good boy', and he turned to the man and said, 'That woman is in possession of marijuana, I'm making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land.
'Gee, that's pretty good,' replied the first man. Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the aisles.

The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few
seconds, returned to its seat, and this
time he placed two paws on the agent's arm.
The Policeman said, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making
a note of his seat number for the police.'
'I like it !' said his seat mate. The Policeman then told Sniffer to 'search' again. Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to s**t all over the place. The first man was really disgusted by this behaviour and couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that, so he asked the Policeman, 'What's going on?'
The Policeman nervously replied, 'He's just found a bomb.'
