lights on your bike.
(7) You feel a rush to the head when fuel duty increases are announced in
the budget.

Mr Benn is just trying to demonise an "out group" to avoid the
cognitive dissonance brought on by the vile behaviour of himself and
his friends. It's rather sad.

Hello Porker - talking of being "sad" - what's your emotional state knowing
that your "very special" case is now not going ahead?

I really do wish you would tell us why. Surely you could have entered the
witness box - you need not have lied. Or is it that which was worrying you?

Porky Chapman bragged about the fact that he was taking someone he
had accused of harassing him through the court system.
All of a sudden his court case is off. Was it because Porky was scared of
being cross-examined and having to answer questions under oath?
Or did the CPS sling the case out because of Porky's "evidence"?
Why won't he tell us?

Oh good, I'll have a piece of chocolate, damn that demon bottle was
close.

Was it worth it?

QUOTE:
A dog owner banned from driving took to the wheel to follow the animal when
it ran away at Silloth. William Thomas Hornsby, 22, of Aldoth Road, Silloth,
admitted driving without a licence or insurance when he appeared before
Carlisle magistrates court. The court heard how police saw a Mitsubishi
Shogun being driven along Aldoth Road, near Abbeytown, on February 12 and
recognised the driver as being disqualified.

They turned around to follow the car but lost sight further along the road
and eventually found it abandoned in a farm yard. As they made their way to
Abbeytown, they passed two men walking along the road. One was Hornsby, who
they recognised and arrested. The court heard how Hornsby, who admitted both
offences, was "very worried" about the dog but knew he shouldn't have driven
the car. Defence solicitor Geoff Clapp said Hornsby looked after his
74-year-old grandfather, who had suffered a stroke, seven days a week.

He looked after 30 sheep and 80 other animals and worked long hours every
day, he said. He was very worried about the dog and knew he should not have
driven, he added. Hornsby was given a community order for a year for driving
while disqualified and was ordered to attend probation course for 10
sessions. He was also ordered to pay court costs of £85 and given six
penalty points on his licence.

How come in an earlier discussion you suggested I might be a psycholist
"Denying there is a problem is not a solution. But I wouldn't expect
anything else from psycholists." in the reply you made to dr6092, which
referenced my replies to your thread. Your own ruleset seems to negate
this view ..
================================================== ===

Paul, you passed the test with flying colours, that's the main thing. You
are definitely not a militant cyclist. Sorry for any inference that you
were. It was directed at Doctor 6092.

Mr. Benn
