Now i understand! You're the delivery driver for the local kebab
joint.

Doesn't matter what I do, the law should never ever prevent you from
risking your own life.

That's bull**** too with those fools that trying
climbing up the outside of big multistory buildings
and jump from them with parachutes etc.

Because they might land on a crowd of people.

It's your body and you should be free to do as you wish with it.

You are now free to top yourself if you want to do that.

Yet I'm not allowed to do risky things?

Corse you are.


Then I can drive legally without a seatbelt? All it does is risk ME.

If you want to take a sailing boat out on a rough sea with an 80%
chance
of drowning, then why shouldn't you?

You're free to do that too.

So why can't I drive without a seatbelt?

Because you are too stupid to use one.


I'm not paranoid enough to use one.


Great, sooner you are dead the better.


I find it better to drive well.

Bull**** it doesn't. I've seen it in those reality cop docos.


Which show you the 5 times that it happened to 65 million people.


Wrong, as always.


Clearly they don't show you the times nothing happened, wouldn't make for good TV would it?

More fool you,

It's a very small risk,

Still stupid to take that risk, tho in your case, great if you get
killed.


How can it be stupid to take a 1 in a million risk?


It aint one in a million.


Yes it is. You can have 1 million journeys and only one accident that needs a seatbelt.

and is much more comfortable.

Not when the seatbelt is properly designed.


Then clearly they aren't.


Mine are.


Depends what you find comfortable. Some people actually wear clothes in bed, I prefer freedom of movement, which means no belt.

Also as I get in and out of my car 100 times a day, it's damn more
convenient.

Irrelevant for most people who don't.


They're still uncomfortable.


Mine arent.


You've already said that, forgotten already dumbass?

I don't want to be tied up like I'm in a BDSM movie.


Another pathetic excuse for a troll.


No, it's a valid reason.

and we have a very substantial fine
for not wearing one

Only £100 here, I get caught about once a year, small price to pay for
comfort.

There is no lack of comfort with a properly designed seatbelt.


BULL****.


FACT.


Repeating yourself again.

There shouldn't be a fine, as one cop once said to me (who let me off) -
"at the end of the day, you're only endangering yourself".

Regardless, there is a fine anyway.


Why?


Because plenty are as stupid as you.


Still waiting for that reason.

and since we have a high rate
or roadside alcohol breath tests where the cops
flag you to pull over with no warning, and you
come to a stop with the cop standing outside
the drivers window, you have no chance of not
getting caught not wearing one.

Just pull it on as soon as you see them ahead,

Not possible, many of them are only seen at the
last minute,


Ours are so monumentally stupid they all wear hivis, so I can see them a
mile off.


Not when they are around a corner.


I can see them before they can see I'm not wearing a belt, which needs them to have a better view.

so you can't avoid the breath test and they are looking at you and can
see you putting the seatbelt on as you come up to them.


Tell them they were mistaken,


And they will then **** you over even more comprehensively.

do they have video evvidence? No? Then they can't prove a damn thing.


They don't need to.


They should. Innocent until PROVEN guilty.

that's what I do.

Doesn't work here for the reason above.


Stop splitting up what I write and saying the same thing twice.


Go and **** yourself, again.


Why do you try to make the post longer? Are you bored or something?

$337 fine,
3 demerit points, 6 in double demerit times,
which would be loss of license for me currently.

That's ****ing insane, so basically they're

. treating it as seriously as speeding?

Only for the most trivial speeding offence, more than
10K and not more than 20K over the speed limit.


Here it's £100 and 3 points (of 12 max) for up to 30mph over the limit.


More fool you lot.


Why? We realise that driving fast doesn't necessarily mean danger. In fact a government study showed only 4% of accidents involved speeding.

What the hell? One can hurt others, one can't, your cops are stupider
than ours.

Nothing to do with the cops, that is decided by the parliament.


The cops have discretion.


Nope.


Yes. Sometimes I get let off with 25mph over the limit, sometimes I get done for 10mph over.

And you still annoyed everyone within hearing range.

Nope. It actually happened during the garage sale
run and no one took any notice because they could
see that I was trying to work out how to cancel it.

But you made them all look and tut at you.

No one did.

I would have yelled, "Turn that ****ing thing off you ****!"

Stupid thing to do given that I was turning it off.
And you had done that, I would have left it going.


Then I would have broken your car.


Then I would have broken you.


You're a frail old man. I would have thrown some cold water over you and made you instantly die.

all you get are false positives, same with three of my neighbours'
house alarms.

I used to get quite a few false alarms with my next door
neighbour, but a couple of none false ones too, one where
the bugger had obviously put one of the outdoor seats up
against the back fence to get away when the alarm went off.

And that is the house next door to the one that the loony
quite literally burnt to the ground using bags of petrol.
And alarm there would have avoided that because we
all don't ignore alarms, even if they go off at 3am etc.

We do here, because they're all false.

Even sillier than you usually manage, and that's saying something.

It's true, in 18 years this entire street of 50 houses has had only
TWO
thefts.

Only because your 'hood is a slum that even the most
stupid crim realises has nothing worth stealing.

Actually there are council houses half a mile away, the occupants of
which
would love all our stuff, but they don't steal.

Because your 'hood is a slum that even the most
stupid crim realises has nothing worth stealing.


It's 10 times richer than the area next to it.


All that proves is that both of them are slums.


Most people in this street own about 3 £20K cars.

And two is more than none anyway.

It's negligible. That's one every nine years in 50 houses.

Because your 'hood is a slum that even the most
stupid crim realises has nothing worth stealing.


You already wrote that


****wits like you are too stupid to understand
the first time and need endless repetition until
it get thru the ear to ear dog ****.


No, you're just bored. Get a hobby.

So the chances of it being me are 1 every 450 years, not worth bothering
setting an alarm every day for that.

Because your 'hood is a slum that even the most
stupid crim realises has nothing worth stealing.


You already wrote that


****wits like you are too stupid to understand
the first time and need endless repetition until
it get thru the ear to ear dog ****.


No, you're just bored. Get a hobby.

Besides, the golf clubs from an open boot would not have triggered an
alarm, and the alarm on the house with the window was probably
deactivated
while they were working on the window - it had just been fitted the same
day.

No point in disabling the alarm, just do what you always do
when in the house.


Er.... that would be to turn it off.


Not permanently.


But you'd have it off until the work was finished.

One was a guy who turned up in a van and stole a newly installed
lounge
window (and left the telly etc inside). The other was a set of golf
clubs
left in my idiot neighbour's boot which he'd left open all afternoon.

I'd get an ODB2 thing and see if that reports anything.

I'll ask the local garage to do a check if it annoys me enough.

OBD2 sensors cost peanuts, $5 or so. But you do
need a smartphone or tablet to read them easily.
Possible with a laptop but not quite as easily.

I thought they were designed for laptops.

They use bluetooth. Laptops can certainly do that
but there are a lot more OBD2 apps and free ones for
android phones and tablets. Far less choice for laptops.

Last time I saw a mechanic use OBD2 it was USB to a laptop using
software
they'd paid for.

How can a phone or tablet possibly be better than a laptop?

Better apps.

I only have desktops anyway, although I could always take one
outside....
I'll just ask the garage, they'll have more equipment.

But will cost more to get them to do it.

They won't charge much for a quick check, it's a decent garage that
charges by the hour, and nothing if they don't fix it.

Might well allow you to work out what is flattening the
battery overnight too and so much more convenient
than having to disconnect the battery every night.

I know it's the alarm, I've ruled out everything else.

It might be something else unfused.

What else would be? The alarm is the only thing that would be
hidden
away.

There's one down the road that does fancy **** for boy racers
and
they
have loads of equipment.

You have me beat by a mile. Or a kilometer. Whatever. Must
be
those
5000 km road trips every now and then.

I don't usually go quite that far. The last one was 1000 km
and
I should be doing another next week if the weather is decent.

Oh come on, it's always sunny in Australia!

Bugger, that must mean I need new glasses or something.

Well you're always telling me the UK is soggy. This implies you
get
much
nicer weather.

We do, but that doesn't mean that its always sunny.

Current forecast for the best day is 22C and cloudy
and since its an outdoor event, I wont bother if its
going to be raining.

Rain? In Australia?!

This must have been someone caught short.
https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/...76f?width=1024

Google says Australia Getz (titter) an average annual rainfall of
16"
whereas we get 33.7".

Which might just be why I call it a soggy little island.

Only double yours.

Averages are irrelevant with countrys as big as mine.

You get to choose the dryer areas.

I did. It still rains anyway.


Soggy continent.


Only in your pathetic little drug crazed psychotic fantasyland.


You've got half the rain we do, you're still pretty damn soggy.

Mind you that will be including deserts.

They still get rain.

Then why are they deserts?

Because even deserts get rain.
https://www.ancient-origins.es/sites...ustralia-1.jpg

Not much or they wouldn't be deserts.

Irrelevant to what happens when it does rain.


Not deserts then are they?


Wrong, as always.


A desert tends to be dry, by definition.

I remember seeing those in old movies... The postman would dismount
from his horse and stuff the mail through them.

They never used horses. They walked.

http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/rfd.htm

That isn't dismounting from a horse and
those weren't used inside towns anyway.

https://uspsblog.com/mule-mail/

Mules arent horses and that isnt old movies either.

https://postalmuseum.si.edu/exhibits...ail-sleds.html

That isn't dismounting from a horse and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_r...rican_Colonies

That isn't dismounting from a horse and posting it in
the letterbox those weren't used inside towns anyway.

http://mentalfloss.com/article/30007...elivering-mail

About halfway down there is a photo of a very basic RFD postman.

But he is moving mail between post offices, not dismounting
from the horse and posting the letters in the letterbox.

https://www.timesunion.com/local/art...rs-4348933.php

No one dismounting from his horse and
posting the letter in the letterbox there either.

They were phased out by 1962 but when I was a kid even your bread was
delivered by horse.

Same here, but that was because the horse was smart
enough to go where it was sposed to and the fella
delivering the bread just had to keep walking between
the cart and the house at every place that wanted bread.

The PHucker is too stupid to do his catalog deliverys
that way and is too poor to be able to afford a self
driving car and too stupid to have a slave driving
his wreck of a Renault Scenic too.

He is in fact the slave himself.


You want me to use a horse?!?


Nope, a self driving car. stupid.


Not many of those about are there? So you have one I presume?

Not sure what your point is there. An outside box invites theft. An inside box invites flammable stuff being poured inside. Neither would happen in the UK. Neither helps if you live in a ********. But the indoor slot means you don't have to remember or bother to check the box.

Nope. Not clear what has happened to the
loony, bit of a worry given what she is into.
