While it's likely that this guy may well have been incorrectly taking up a handicapped spot, sometimes things aren't what they seem. These spots are not just for handicapped drivers, but also disabled - either permanently or temporarily - passengers who require the extra space to get out of and into the car. A couple of years back I broke an ankle and both shoulders (all of them mine, unfortunately), so was unable to use crutches, but had to hobble around on a walking frame for a while. Coming back from my frequent follow up hospital visits, with my wife driving, we would often stop in the local Robinson centre. Most of the time I'd wait in the car, but occasionally wanted to get out to take the weight off my behind. The first time this happened, my wife explained the situation to the parking attendant / security guard, and we were directed to a disabled bay. We had two choices of vehicle to take on these trips, a 4WD pickup truck, which I found difficult to climb into and out of, and a two door sports car, which has extra long doors to ease access into the rear, which I found very easy to get in and out of, so that was our choice. I fully appreciate that anyone walking past and seeing a sports car parked in a disabled bay would have had a few choice remarks to make, but it was entirely justified, and as soon as I was able to walk with a stick we no longer parked in it. Lay off the criticism, and brake fluid, until you see both the driver and passenger. (If both are fully able bodied, however, then go ahead).

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
ballpoint replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
A recent CNN story showing newly liberated areas, including the town of Mykhailivka, as the front moves forwards hour by hour. The happiness of the people to see the Ukrainian soldiers, and Western media, is clear to see - no 'Yes" to Russian referendum voters here. As are the more disturbing images of dead Russian soldiers, abandoned where they fell, along with clothing, weapons and the odd tank or two. Someone needs to hack into the Russian TV network and play this footage so the families of those who's sons, brothers and fathers are in Ukraine can see just what "leave no man behind" actually means to Putin. Unsurprisingly, the Russians continue to shell the newly liberated towns and villages in yet another act of criminality. What price one man's demented dreams of empire? And what price is yet to be paid? -

Probably not. Because a disunited NATO wouldn't have got together and backed Ukraine, so Russian troops could have walked all over the country while Trump applauded Putin's military genius. Which was Putin's plan all along. -

Chatting to a guy at work, he happened to slip that I was known as the office computer amongst the other employees. "That must be due to my high intelligence and fast operating speed", I said. "No" he said, "You go to sleep if left alone for more than 15 minutes" -

Yesterday my wife asked me what size dress she should order online. I suggested a 'Mark F'. When she asked what that was I replied 'Its one up from a Mark E' I've just woken up in hospital. The food's not too bad, though I have to suck it through a straw. -
