Only Smarties have the answer.

How come all the pubs that started charging an entry fee on NYE 1999 still charge entry fees? I'm sure we never had them before on NYE.

Uh-oh, who has monitored ISP then?

Yeah possibly, there's no reason why not... Still a ferkin stupid idea though IMO. The driving test needs to be altered to the Scandinavian method, where it takes 3 years to get a full licence and the training encompasses all types of roads and weather conditions, as well as control training, awareness training and training for emergency conditions. This would mean under 21s had to drive supervised but what the hell.

When they taking the pleasure of driving on the quiet country roads around my neck of the woods I don't know what I'd do. Unfortunately, the poor buggers who live with rush hour traffic on a daily basis will understandably allow science to take over, what is to them, the chore of driving. I just hope it always remains optional - at least for a good few years yet.

Are you drinking on a Tuesday afternoon again?

TG, don't you think you'd become a bit of a mobile chicane if you decided to drive over on the continent and hit the unrestricted German autobahns in your 80mph car?

I worked at Leeds Uni while they were testing the ISA system on a fleet of Skoda Fabias around the city centre and surrounding area. It wasn't all good news. They did manage to determine that most accidents happen within 2 miles of home, which was a cracking piece of detective work IMO. It could happen cabbage, if the ISA system decides that 40 is a safer speed than 50 for a particular corner. It has very little to do with posted limits in that respect.
-
I'm 100% in disagreement with it mate. Not because I think it's appropriate to speed but because I think it's inappropriate to have full control of a vehicle capable of taking lives taken away from the driver. If you were driving a mid-engined sports car and you went into a bend at 50mph, not knowing that it became a 40 limit just beyond the bend, and the ISA device hit the brakes on your behalf* you'd be in a whole world of s**t with lift-off and snap oversteer. *ISA is not only going to limit vehicle speed to the posted limit but also to perceived road conditions so the problem is much bigger.

Seen this ISA lark coming for ages tbh. There've been all sorts of petitions and protests while you were looking the other way.

Don't we hate Argentina any more then? Damn, I must update my "Bigot's Guide".

You'd do well to be half as decent a bloke as StL. Perhaps he expected you to show him the same sort of courtesy with which he treats others. I could have warned him that you're not renowned for courtesy tbf.

That really wasn't very polite.

Top Secret is actually very funny, and of the same genre as the others.

Got a six plug extension lead for a few pence in Woolies at the weekend.

As you go into the supermarket, turn immediately right and jump the counter. There are 2 in there and shedloads of ammo.

I'm disappointed to have to say the whole experiment is very much in danger of taking us into league 1. It's a real shame because this year I'd settle for safety gained playing attractive football rather than kicking lumps out of people on our way to the play-offs. As I can't see anything changing I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that it works out that way. Can't see it though.

Yeah, my mum didn't like her sick much either.

I got this for xmas, and I agree it's very difficult to survive the early firefights. I just avoid everyone and take long-range potshots with my laser pistol. Also 120 caps to 'sleep' with that bird was a bit steep, it meant I couldn't repair the laser pistol too

Oh no, I don't like Christmas songs nowadays. They all get overused on adverts for sofas and the like and then they just p*** me off.

Plymouth to edge it 4-0.
