Another late arrival! My tortie mogpoppet has had to go to the vets to have her teeth cleaned - which means general anaesthetic and an afternoon spent in recovery. Hope she's OK, never had to have anything (other than the usual check-ups) done before : (



Hope you're soon feeling better Simon. Deebee - glad to hear you're now recovering.



Back later

Morning all,

DT team, bloggers, and the star-struck DT Dude (you could hear his school-boy grin when Kenny Wayne Shepherd was on) - what a FABULOUS noise that was!

MORE please on R2 like that.



Been a bit absinthe lately, blog kept losing my missives, so I gave up and did some muggling instead..but it certainly does not favour the verbose, Twitter-dom.

RE theme, the worst fight I ever saw was outside a public house where two young gals were slogging it out over a chap, I presume - said chap was perhaps the one holding the handbags for them!

On that note, this might suit:



RIP HER TO SHREDS by Blondie

It's a bit rough around the edges, and perchance not a warm cosy DT type of song, but hey, DT Dude, it's SHORT!!



Laters y'all, off for caffeine and to listen to Popmaster!

Bad behaviour has got to have some good tunes, and plenty for Dr Mosh too. Lets go for



Almost anything by AC/DC, how about BACK IN BLACK or HAVE A DRINK ON ME



RUNNING FREE by IRON MAIDEN

I PREDICT A RIOT by THE KAISER CHIEFS



I FOUGHT THE LAW by THE CLASH

Morning all, no Emmylou on harmonies -sacrilige!



Pleased to say I wouldn't know the evicted chap from X-Factor if he smacked me in the face although it seemed to be a lead story of importance on the Big Filler Show yesterday when I was driving home. Would be interested to see someone who's spent a small fortune phoning their support for him taking out a test complaint to the regulators demanding their money back though. I'll bet there's nothing in the voting small print that a viewer couild reasonably be expected to read that states that their vote might be wasted when the producers chuck someone out.



Bad behavour then



YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT - HAWKWIND



Or maybe not :-)

Good Morning Each! Plagiarising Pete, eh? Thought about it as a name, but decided against it. If you have time, however, you might like to look into Jose, who's article was indeed C&P'd. The work copied was not his own originally, but was in turn 'borrowed' from a Maths website called 'Maths for fun' where the original answer was largely the same, but used a lot of diagrams to give the almost exact same answer. This answer was posted some 5 years before Jose's own, in response to the question being asked by a parent in the same situation as last nights 'Homework Sucks' questioner. That parent signed himself Deeceefc. Now, I wonder who that might've been?



But yes, I did C&P the article. I DO have a Drivetime Car Sticker, though, and although I have promised not to reveal how I got it, (in order to protect the guilty), I feel a bit more deserving of one, however I came across the slightly more accurate answer. ;0)

My second cup of coffee and my brain is still feeling a bit fuzzy. Currently shuffling bits of paper around on my desk wondering what to do that requires the least effort. I may end up filing - although in my current state I'll probably get my alphabet all mixed up and miss-file things. Still, at least I'm in - several other people at work have had the same bug, they're dropping like flies round here!



On the plus side, my copy of 'Confessions' has arrived from the big river site :o)



#46 Sorry to hear about your mogpoppet, Tortie. I'm sure she'll be fine though. Wish I could have a general anaesthetic when I get my teeth cleaned at the dentist...



~X~

A few more for the naughty step....



REBEL ROUSER ~ Duane Eddy



HE'S A REBEL ~ The Crystals



REBEL REBEL ~ David Bowie

#54 Thanks Deebee.



I was tempted to order the 'Confessions' book, but have been told to add it to my (very short) C*****mas list! Will you be taking it with you next week to be signed by the author?! ;-)



T x

#52 Ha! I love it, Ken - but there's probably something in the small print saying that voters do so at their own risk. And actually, if they were daft enough to vote for him in the first place I'm not sure they deserve to get their money back...



~X~

Morning all



TOWN CALLED MALICE - THE JAM



Pen x

#56 I might do Tortie, although if last year is anything to go by there won't be a lot of time for that sort of thing. And we are supposed to be there to do a job... ;o)



~X~

Anyroad, I'm sticking by 'Stringy Bob' for today. The poor lad seems to attract a bad rep, what with his prison setence and all.



Choons...

If we want to cut to the nub of the matter...

Not knowing 'owt about the whole x-factor thing (have the same Saturday Night TV aversion as our DT Dude leader) so I looked it up (ain't t'internet wunnerful?) and liked the poignant and fitting comment from Simon Cowell "Frankie Cocozza has blown a wonderful opportunity''

Ave not gotta tune about 'Bad Behaviour' or 'Breaking Rules'.... Butta do 'ave Part 3 of me 'ow Tedr Improve Road Safety Blog mostly about people's 'Bad Behaviour' & 'Breaking Rules' of The 'ighway Code.... I'll bang it on in a momentation.....

So what can be done to reduce the deaths on our roads?



PART 3 -A:



The raise of the speed limit to 80mph isn't a factor that will make roads more dangerous. The Institute Of Advanced Motorists have long argued for a raise to 80mph on the motorways.



The best way to make roads safer is educate drivers.

This can be done by re-testing. This for sure would make people sharper/ better drivers. Build up their knowledge of driving.

I'm amazed at how many people when you get talking to them all think they know so much about the rules of the road. When actually.... They don't!!

People are strange when it comes to driving... Most think they are better than they are and most have their own interpretation of rules.

In fact it is worrying just how many people don't really know the exact rules of certain aspects of driving who actually drive daily.

I myself even though I'm a HGV driver of 14 years, car driver of 20 years, a member of the Advanced Motorists having passed my advanced test, been to police skid control courses and taken part in motorsport events & held a racing licence... Despite this I do admit it... Some rules on the roads i'm not 100% sure about!!!!!!

And a quick read of the Highway Code is a great refresher.

The only problem I've noticed driving in my truck... Often I will be following a rule correctly & somebody else will nearly have a collision with me as they think I'm wrong & they are right.

One common area is when I have to occupy two lanes with my truck when turning. Very often I come across drivers who even though I'm straddling the white lines & part in both lanes I've had people trying to get past me & beeping their horn at me & doing rude signs... As they simply don't understand the Highway Code & drive with a me, me, me aggressive attitude.

It says very clearly in the Highway Code that large vehicles often need to take up more than one lane at roundabouts/ when turning at junctions & extra room/ patience should be given to HGVs. But isn't this just simple common sense?

Most of the Highway Code are simple rules of simple common sense!!!



Years ago I was involved in an accident on the South Circular road in Wimbledon.

I was driving a tanker of highly flammable solvents (more flammable than petrol). As I pulled away from a set of traffic lights already occupying the 2 lanes as the road was of narrow lanes AND I had a cyclist next to me on my left. When a lunatic in a van came full speed and went for a gap between me & the central traffic island. He expected me to swerve over the cyclist for him. (that he was also convinced was not there, He couldn't see it due to my vehicle and his speed).

The result he skidded into my 40 tonne tanker & the front side of his van, the metal exploded with the force. Why a 2 tonne van would take on a 40 tonne tanker?

But the most worrying thing is as part of his van exploded with force... The debris hit the side of my tanker nearly rupturing the side. If that had happened... 35,000 litres of liquid could have leaked & my vehicle would have exploded with a large fireball. All because of one idiot!!!

When he got out of his van he was screaming at me totally convinced he was right. And calling me a liar about the being a cyclist!!!

This is my point of how scary it is that there are these people out there who never read the Highway Code yet are convinced they are know all about driving.

And the mad thing – Being rush hour,150 yards ahead was a large traffic jam, so if the van drive had got ahead of me... He would have just sat in a traffic jam ahead of me. Yet he badly wrecked his van & nearly caused an explosion to try & do so... CRAZY!



It's scary just how bad some drivers are out there. Seem to have a mentality of not looking properly ahead. Not thinking about their actions/ driving.

And sadly this is why serious accidents do & will carry on happening.

The introduction of re-testing incorporating the advanced driving test really, really would make driving so much safer & better for all.

It would save money on accidents, make insurance companies pay out less claims & cut the pain & hurt families feel after the loss or injury of loved ones.

So WHY do the government not do this???

If 2,000 people a year died in train crashes the railways would be shut down!!!!!

One more oldie:



Cigarettes and Alcohol - Oasis

PART 3 -B:



One VERY good yet simple A very fast way to cut road deaths would be send everybody a copy of the Highways Code Book with their tax disc renewal form – This for sure would save well over 100 lives in the first year alone – maybe many many more !!!!

How many people actually go to the trouble of buying the Highways Code... Very few.... Mainly only when people are trying to pass their driving test!!!!

So why do the government not do this? It's a very easy way of improving our road safety!

I'm sure many people would take a look at it over breakfast or on their work break and look at aspects of the Highway Code they are not sure about.

And another very effective way would be send a leaflet with their tax disc renewal all about a particular rule/ area of safety that's in the highway code.

Maybe safety critical areas of driving and areas where there are a higher number of serious road accidents.

This would greatly educate drivers, and ultimately save lives and reduce injuries!!!

I mean how many times do you get leaflets with your road tax reminder like the ones trying to sell you a personalised number plate!!!!!

Yet never anything about road safety!!!!!

Is the government's ONLY priority about collecting money from us & not the welfare/ care of motorists?????@?@??

Even when you hear governments talking about road deaths, very often mentioned is that each death costs the tax payer so much money per year!



I'm sure the above basic ideas would be very effective ways of reducing road deaths!!!!!

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

I hope those reading me posts over the last few days both 'ere & on Chrsi Evans' Blog 'ave both enjoyed & learned abit extra about driving what with me sharing some of me experiences/ knowledge of driving!!!!!!

There's alot of things in life am not very good at but driving 'as always been me number on passion/ thing a seem best at!!!!!!!



A 'ope maybe even by just a few bloggers reading me blogs it will lower the chances of yerselves being involved in an accident.... A put this extra tip that the Advanced Drivers teach you on CLP's blog this morning... Just though i'll bang it on 'ere too... Not only does it lower the chance of an accident... It 'elps you save fuel too by not 'aving ter break sharply or come to an uneccessary stop:



PS One other important driving tip the IAM teach you is look more further ahead to see what's going on further down the road.

Most motorists just stare at the rear of the vehicle in front of them!!!!!



What you should do is be looking 200 yards or more ahead of the vehicles in front of you.... This way you can react to slowing traffic even before the vehicle ahead of you does!!!!



I've done this & often seen something happening ahead... started slowing and watched the vehicle in front of me nearly have an accident as they've not seen the hazard until the last moment!!!!!!!!



So remmeber the Bingo IAM driving tip terdee: Look as far ahead down the road as you can, NOT just at the rear of the vehilce in front!!!!!!



Glad ter 'elp!!!!

Hi All!

Long time listener/reader but first time poster so bear with me! Can I combine my suggestion for the themed song with a midweek mosh request? If so, I suggest "BREAKING THE LAW" by JUDAS PRIEST.

Thank you and good bye, Chris.

#65 Bingo, I've been following your posts over the last couple of days and I have to agree with all your conclusions. However, I fear little can be done. I tend to follow the advice my Dad gave me when I first started taking lessons 38 years ago: suspect everyone else on the road is an idiot, and likely to do idiotic things without notice, and drive accordingly. I'm sure it wasn't original, I've heard it said many times since, but I still drive with that in mind.



A few weeks ago I was overtaken by a guy in BMW. I was in a line of traffic on the A595 which is single carriageway with a 60mph limit. We were all doing about 50, it was difficult to go faster without gaining on the car in front, when the BMW driver overtook us all; and he was shaving.

Oops! as the title of Simon's blog ....been on the Naughty Step...sorry for mentioning the name of said interview company!

#69 (and preceding posts) - excellent stuff. I'm all in favour of retesting. It's terrible also that you can pass your test at 17 and carrying on driving without having your eyes tested until you're 70.

'ello ALL...



'arry The Snapper - My goodness shaving while attempting ter drive.... Sounds like the lunatic is trying ter 'ave a close shave with death!!!!!!



And what yer write about suspect all other a idiots/ going to do unpredictable things... Yeah spot on!!!!!

This is what the Institute Of Advanced Motorists teach you: Defensive driving not aggressive driving!!!!!!



The Driver - I agree it's madness you can drive from 17 to 70 without any review or re-testing!!!!!

The driving test doesn't even teach you 'ow ter drive on motorways (although they are the easiest roads to drive on). But a different technique is required for motorway driving!!!!!!



When will the government get off their backsides & do something about road safety other than just trying to collect money from the motorist?????



Chow!

Is anyone else having probs with the blog? Just want to make sure its not my ISP.



Ta.



MTF.xx

#75 MT...errr.D When did that happen then? I know I only dip in and out of this'ere loverlee blog, but surely I woulda noticed that one of our very own has been Damed!



Anyways, I don't think it's just you wi' the blog. It's looking very peculiar at the mo'.



A.

Good afternoon all - bit brighter here in Essex today. The sun is doing it's best to throw a few brighter rays our way.



CleverSupernanny - hope your granddaughter is on the mend. Best wishes to her and family. xx



Have not heard much radio recently. With Mr not well and my back and MS playing up together I have been overdosing on daytime TV - why do programmers think there is no point in showing anything halfway interesting or engaging? Perhaps it's to get everyone back to work asap!



I also know nothing about XFactor nor do I wish to,and Strictly is also not watched chez nous. We seem to survive though!



Good luck everyone with choon menshes tonight.

Hello All



'Real Gone Kid' Deacon Blue



Have a good day everyone

...and then it rights itself after I post. Typical!



A.

Had to sign in again today which I don't normally do, but otherwise ok.

#74 - I remember when I was a kid watching a public information film which was basically about telling people lane discipline on motorways. It stuck in my mind as there was a cartoon of a bloke with a thought bubble coming from his head with nothing but a twittering bird in it - and he was a middle lane hogger.



To come up with something to show on the TV - during the adverts for big shows like X Factor and on the Beeb around things like Strictly - in the same vein as those public information films of old would cost relatively little, yet in order to alleviate the congestion caused by poor lane discipline on the motorways the powers that me would rather spend hundreds of millions on widening the motorway, with all the resultant congestion, delays and economic consequences that causes.

Thanks JPA.



If you look closely, you might spot another Dame, there are two of us ;)



MTF.xx

MTF. I've had trouble with the blog as well. I don't think it was my fault, this time.

Afternoon Peeps

Again better late than never (never, was yesterday!)



Lots of good choons above. Here's some that I don't think have been mentioned and maybe good reason, some may say :)

Laters all :D

Harry, we've got the ultimate:



STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON - N.W.A.



Beat that!



:o)

#83 I've just had a quick look back and can't see another one, what have you done to become a Dame? I wondered about that this morning and thought I must have missed it by arriving late.



Problems here earlier with the blog too!

#83 #87 There is nothing like a Dame... ;o)



Actually MTF I forsee a slight problem. Isn't there another blogger 'next door' with the moniker MTD...?



~X~

#83 Well MTD ma'am. (drops a curtsey) I've had a look and I've even CTRL F'ed but couldn't find another Dame. Should be I be looking on blogs from t'other day?



A.

MTF, had mega problems staying online this morning, but that could well have been my ISP. Fingets crossed all appears ok now.



Bingo, OH was a long distance HGV driver for 20 years and he would agree with everything you say. Can I just add one more thing, drivers who leave their fog lights on when it's not foggy. They are a menace and a distraction.



Pen x

MTF, can't refer to you as MTD can I, unless your toes are damp.



A few more choons without any HMHB involvement



'Mess Around' by Professor Longhair



'Smokin' In The Boys Room' by Brownsville Station



'Caught By The Fuzz' by Supergrass



'In The Jailhouse Now' by The Soggy Bottom Boys

#19 Aw Harry, we could have shared :) I doubt it will get played anyway!



#65 etc Bingo - I'm not a driver, I am actually frightened to learn because of how it is out on the roads. My partner came to driving relatively late in life (he was 39 when he passed his test) He only learned because we qualified for a motability car due to our disabled twins. We have had many near misses (not my partner's fault!) we were reversed into by a minibus last year, the driver claims he just didn't see us and was in a hurry. Our car received minor damage and we were unhurt, but the whole thing could have been so easily avoided with proper care and attention. I have always thought that retaking the driving test at regular intervals, would be a good idea, but would be very unpopular I suspect, because of the expense and organization. I certainly don't think that this government (friend to the motorist...yeah, right!) is going in the right direction where road safety is concerned. I have lost a dearly loved family member due to careless driving, my granddad was knocked down and killed, by a driver who was not driving with due care and attention. I really want the roads to be safer places, but too many drivers have fallen into bad habits, and no-one wants changes that cost money or that add more bureaucracy etc.



I've just been watching the Imagine documentary from last night (the subject of yesterday's oldies) It doesn't matter how many times I hear 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', it gets to me everytime, the mark of a great song I think.

#86 TCC, I had to google it and, lyrically at least, I think it's a shoo-in for the DT playlist. :-)

Strangely enough Bob, my toes are damp.



Right, lets see if this is any better?



DTF.xx

Only me. Was on the old blog earlier, but only just found time to catch up.



Nobody seems to have suggested this one:



SEX AND DRUGS (allegedly) AND ROCK & ROLL - Ian Dury



Maybe too late, but y'never know.

Also...



YOU SEE THE TROUBLE WITH ME - Barry White

Ah Stringy Bob, was gonna suggest Brownsville Station misen as I was listening to it on mi computer jukebox but seeing as you have already suggested it how's about:-



Let's go crazy - Prince



A.

I fought the law and the law won - The clash

Very appropriate me thinks!!!!

The wonders of social networking... I found a cousin on Twitter yesterday - one I haven't seen for years, probably since we were children. I have an unusual surname - my maiden name that is, obviously my married name is common as anything especially around Wales and the mid-west of England. Someone had retweeted a tweet from a guy with the same surname as me, and his first name was similar to my cousins. Normally I don't 'approach' complete strangers on Twitter, but I decided to go for in and asked him if he was my cousin. And he is!



~X~

#99 oh, and I knew it was him as he was able to tell me my brother's and Mum's names. He actually shares a birthday with my Mum (his aunt by marriage) and she always receives a letter and a card from him.



~X~
