Re: Mr Postman

A mystery package...??
I've no idea who sent it or what it is, other than it's from some clothing company I've never heard of that's located down the road a few miles away.
Intriguing....I feel like El Guapo in Three Amigos - "It's a sweater!!"

Fatal crash in Birmingham

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-b ... m-68336299

Dickhead decided to use a busy residential road as a drag strip.

The standard of driving in Brum is horrendous. Jumping red lights is standard. They ignore pedestrian crossings. They overtake into incoming traffic.

Nope.
He's right though, given a while they'll fade...at which point their entire reason for being there will also fade, and they'll just look like an asphalt patch/road repair.

... state. On closer inspection many of the bolts around the bike looked really furred up. I have come to the conclusion its not dodgy pads, just shit road salt and what ever else they throw on it to make it sippy and corrosive. I have noticed in the car the lack of grip as well, possibly the tyres ...

I'm amazed it passes Germany's TUV standards.

Its a crap idea. Lights are there to be visible and alert road users behind, anything that detracts from that cannot be good.
