  1. Totally agree.....completely and utterly wrong on every count. Left, right, centre.....all unacceptably trying to gain influence.
  2. Oh I do apologise. From now until eternity I will forensically read every comment and every thread in case i upset your delicate sensibilities.
  3. EXACTLY....no arguments from me.
  4. I will never understand sentencing...... Wife's uncle, Thai, shot and killed his neighbour. He mistakenly thought he was having an affair with his wife......got 5 years. UK, gang of lads kicked a goth girl to death in a park......didn't know her. Received 10 years a piece.....all 18....out at 28 or less????
  5. One very dangerous individual. Unelected, unaccountable........but wielding huge power.
  6. Just done mine.....quite easy and straight forward other than I had to apply and collect in person....not sure how you get around that. Suited me though....any excuse to go the BKK..... twice.
  7. I'd go to a dealer.......then at least you know where they are re warranty problems, maintenance, support etc.
  8. No way she is 21......my wife is twice her age and looks half her age.
  9. Sounds like they are running out of money.....what are the options...? Hit the poorest where it hurts or tax the incredibly wealthy and those companies enjoying monopoly like profits....? ANS: HIT THE POOREST
  10. Good point, well made.....but look at the number of idiots just on this forum.......would it be sensible to even give them a choice......????
  11. Damn...only close to one of them...... amlodipine....looks like diet and exercise is my only option 😞
  12. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He claims the UK will be the first Islamist country to become a nuclear power.....idiot.
  13. If this ever gets built in will be in the same year we all take up electric helicopter taxis and it will become a huge white elephant.
  14. Waste of money.....every single kid has a smartphone, which will be more than adequate for their needs at school.
  15. Football managers generally need to learn from Rugby. Loyalty to a fading start is totally misplaced.....In Rugby only the team counts and the results it can achieve. Football managers keep hanging on to players past their sell by date and get punished for it.
  16. So your solution is never to wear a seat belt......555
  17. Off to check my meds...555
  18. Breast and cervical cancer......how unlucky can you get? Poor woman.
  19. The last thing the elite want is an educated electorate.
  20. My perfect afternoon? The wife is called away on urgent business and tells me she will be away until later that evening at the earliest.
  21. While it's true that some exceptional circumstances, like a car fire or submersion in water, might pose a danger, the overall risk of such events is relatively low compared to the proven benefits of wearing a seatbelt. Here are several key points to consider: 1. **Statistics on Survival Rates**: Numerous studies have shown that wearing a seatbelt significantly reduces the risk of fatal injury. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seat belts reduce the risk of death for front-seat passengers by 45% and the risk of serious injury by 50%. 2. **Increased Control During Accidents**: Seat belts help keep occupants in their seats, which can prevent them from being thrown around inside the vehicle or ejected during a collision. This not only reduces the risk of injury but also allows the driver to maintain better control of the vehicle during and after the impact. 3. **Ease of Release**: Modern seatbelt designs include mechanisms for quick release, making it relatively easy to unbuckle even in emergencies. Emergency responders are trained to quickly and safely remove people from vehicles, even in challenging situations like fires or submersion. 4. **Statistical Rarity of Extreme Situations**: The scenarios where a seatbelt might trap someone in a burning or submerged car are extremely rare. The vast majority of accidents do not involve these extreme conditions, and in typical accidents, seatbelts provide crucial protection. 5. **Complementary Safety Features**: Cars are equipped with multiple safety features designed to work together. Airbags, crumple zones, and seatbelts all contribute to passenger safety. Relying solely on one aspect and ignoring the others undermines the comprehensive safety design of modern vehicles. 6. **Emergency Procedures and Tools**: There are tools designed to help in emergency situations, such as seatbelt cutters and window breakers, which can be kept within reach in a vehicle. These tools can provide an additional layer of security for those concerned about rare emergencies. In conclusion, while no safety measure is without its risks, the overwhelming evidence supports that wearing a seatbelt greatly enhances overall safety in the vast majority of car accidents. The potential risks of being trapped are far outweighed by the proven life-saving benefits of wearing a seatbelt.
