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.

They'll be after the smokers next. Oh; they already are.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
