I've just watched some stuff on YouTube, I really don't understand how the hell the Russians aren't all dead with the way they drive, they don't appear to have any understanding of the most basic rules of the road, there's a car coming the other way =overtake, there's a car coming the other way = pull out of the junction, it's snowing and -10 = drive faster, it's incredible to watch!!!!
My favourite Russian dashcam footage was the one where he is happily driving at a fair lick along the highway when an oncoming fighter jet crash lands dead ahead, showering the car with debris but miraculously misses a head-on with the car... 
I bet that ruined the driver's underpants!!!
All part of a typical day's driving in Russia.
I've just got home after an unintended sightseeing tour of the southwestern suburbs of Manchester.
My usual exit from the M56 onto the M60 was closed due to roadworks so I had to make a big detour to get home.
Lots of old haunts have changed almost beyond recognition, but I used the Force to negotiate the seedier more treacherous bits.
I didn't want to stop the car and get out wearing my kilt and Tam o' shanter to ask for directions.

Let's make a really professional looking sign.
I bet that sign is very effective...It has obviously been made by a proper psychopath!
The "Cutting edge" bit has been written with great relish. I can visualise the vicious-looking stabby stabby knife just waiting for the first errant parker to come along...

Did someone mention shiny slashy stabby things??? It has obviously been made by a proper psychopath!

I'm rather partial to a nice shiny slashy stabby thing!!!!!!!
So let me get this straight, you're purporting that you got forced off the motorway into the more seedy side of Manchester and you just happened to be wearing a kilt at the time?!?!?!
t, that's not to say we should bugger you Pushfit , that's to say it's a bugger you're suffering, it wasn't caused by buggering was it???? Now then, cross my palm with silver and I shall reveal all...

It doth not bode well, Sire.
The Vulture of Doom coupled with the Bloody Red Sky in the morning can be interpreted in just two ways:
1. Somebody will nick their finger on a bright slashy stabby thing before the day is out, or
2. Your SKY package charges will be increased by 18%, or
3. Some weather is on the way.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but remember I am but the messenger.

Bobbers have you come across one of these?
I found one at a small church hall sale thing before Christmas for £40 with the original owner selling. I did a double take and had a chat and he told me his story.
I couldn’t buy it, told him to take it home and never sell if I bought £50 of his other stuff. He agreed and I came away with a load of lamps.
My stupidity? Maybe he sold it after I’d gone, but somehow I felt happy with what I’d done and that doesn’t happen often

The third of the two interpretations is the pressing Issue. I have to drive to Kingsbridge.( lifts kilt

Back on black ops, Pushfit? Good luck young fella.Having a back op in exactly a week so its D Day -7

I know you'll do whatever is necessary for Queen and Country, no matter how seedy and debauched it might appear to onlookers.
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and all that.
Just try not to enjoy it, that's all.
And wear your balaclava with pride.
Good luck.
Please don't bore me, I'm still a virgin.You can fill in the others though, they'll enjoy it.

But that thing looks to be about 150 to 200 years old!
Did he tell you all about ir's history and how he came to have it from new?
I’m hoping Bobbers knows the detail I think it’s the pinnacle of the slashy stabby things he’s into.
It’s got me thinking though I may have to look for one.
Original owner yes, a paratrooper and he had it when he dropped into Aden - it did 3 combat drops with it, not WW2 but they were issued with older type knives.
