Came across this on uchoob : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1YuokyxvOs&fea...

Spotted it cos it's where i live and thought oh it'll be a speeded up video or something. Nope, just a couple of neds hooring it through the streets.

Am i being over reactionary because it's too close to home or am i right in thinking something could be done about it?

I know, i looked through them, some of their pranks were quite funny, their dancing atrotious and they're "drifting" about what i expected.

Which is why i'm asking, is it me? Or is that sort of behaviour unnacceptable?

Am i pissed off becuase of where it is or is this on a par with hooning through the clyde tunnel?

No your right, doing that through residental streets with a 20 limit is crass in the extreme. And you dont get kids playing or old people crossing the road in the Clyde Tunnel.

And yes you are getting oldbiggrin

Wee bit quick to be driving through town, but then I'm sure you probably bent the rules a wee bit as a youngster, no?


I particularly like this vid.

It's good that they've got those speed humps/roundabouts now on Silvertonhill Ave., because before it was just a big straight where young boys would speed up and down. ;-)

And Ollie; you're getting old.

That's true on a lot of levels. Never good to live in a town that has more Travel Agents than pubs.

Missed the original link but I suspect it might be quite tame compared to some of the idiots on youtube.

Well av not been there in a good few years myself but it was something that depressed me hugely as a kid growing up there.

I'll go for a walk next Monday and do an official count laugh
