Scraggy - 28 Feb 2008 12:00 GMT
#1 godson, who, being a yoof, knows it all, has recently returned from his
local magistrates court.
Failure to identify a Laser Scamera van while travelling at 122 mph was
added to an earlier offence of being in possession of a wheelie in a public
place.
To demonstrate the error of his ways, the bench decided that removal of his
licence for twelve months, 240 hours community service and an extended
retest was the way forward.
He has decided that his B6 must be replaced by an R1. In the future.
Possibly.

Bless.

I'd have taken him out for beers if he was my godson and told him to
keep up the good work but try to avoid being caught.

He should have been lobotomised for buying a poxy bandit in the first
place.

Hmm. Never could see the point of paying more in insurance premiums than
the bike was worth. (That is if he can even /get/ insurance this side of
2028)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Seems a bit excessive.

Does dunnit? I think you can be lasered from well over a km away these
days? I'm not sure I'd spot one either.

Yep, 1000m. Ok if you're going more than 250kph though.

Hmmm. I think I might be tempted to challenge the accuracy if it were me
facing that kind of penalty.

f.cking right - how the hell can a bit of speeding/careless (whatever
he was done for) result in community service?

Or was he means-tested and given this because the bench wanted more
than 5p?

Absurdity?  Don't be daft.  Almost all english sayings are based on
things which have long passed.  When I say someone was "hoist by his
own petard" I don't mean he blew himself up with a bomb.  When I say
something is "beyond the pale" I don't mean it is outside the fence.

I'm not being daft. I'm being pernickety.

At least I have the ability (sadly lacking in you it appears) to see
how things look from other peoples viewpoint. But then my ego isn't
bigger than the US National Debt.

No, but the US National Debt is a good example of something so big as
to be beyond human comprehension.

A big thing in monetary terms (or, indeed, numerical) is a shite metaphor
for a dimensionally ephemeral concept like ego.  Was my point.

It's like saying 'Jon B's intellect is bigger than there are grains of sand
on the planet'  i.e meaningless

[1] And it isn't, at all. I can quite happily get my head round (US)
trillions, particularly if reduced to a percapita measure.  THis may be
much simpler than comprehending the size of Champ's ego.
