Baba would love that, getting paid to do fuck all is his dream.

Mitchell & Webb much better this week. Loved the bloke with the magic flute. Mock the Week is quickly becoming The Frankie Boyle Show.

The best solution I've seen is in Spain and Portugal: Speed-triggered traffic lights. If you're coming down the road too fast they turn to red (if you go through the red light you get photographed and fined, obviously). Very effective. If you don't slow down you have to stop- simple. No one gets fined, no one gets points on their licence, no one's insurance goes up. Traffic is calmed, people are safe. Of course, it doesn't raise much coin for the police or politicians so it could never work here.

Just found out today, they're playing in Boro on monday. Shame it's sold out, I really liked A Certain Trigger.

Excellent article on a depressing subject.

I was at Maine Road for Oasis in '96 but unfortunately too shit-faced to remember most of it. Terrorvision always put on an enjoyable show, had my first crowd surf when they were at Middlesbrough town hall. I remember T-Keith on stage with GreenDay too. Also enjoyed Coldplay (and Idlewild supporting them) at the arena a couple of years back.

Coincidentally, its just been on the news. Speed only a factor in 15% of accidents. I'm not advocating putting limits up universally, in fact I think some should come down. But if motorway limits were more relavent to the 21st century I don't think people would mind if they were rigourously enforced.

The ideal christmas present for Cath?

Have you got any statistics on death rate due to speeding going up and up?

Electronic - Get The Message.

With Taylor. Potentialchaos-tastic tbh. And if someone's going to be the dominant centre-half, expect Roeder to hope it;s Bramble. I've always thought the best centre half partnerships combined a more intelligent reader-of-the-game / organiser type with a brick shithouse to head / tackle anything that comes near him. Whenever I've seen Taylor and Bramble play together I've got the impression of two beasts but no brains. Combine this with a hopelessly out of position Ramage (or a hopelessly disinterested Baba, or a hopelessly unfit Bernard) and the usual low quality displays we have come to expect from Carr, throw in our ability to royally fuck up and it's easy to see how it could go horribly wrong.

That's all very well, but do they play betamax?

And yet the death rate due to speeding vehicles just keeps going up and up. Does it? I was under the impression that road deaths were falling and we had some of the safest roads in europe.

If you are going to legalise drugs, you might as well legalise prostitution at the same time. Tax the earnings, make sure the hookers get proper health checks, cut out the pimps, give them somewhere to work away from peoples houses, like an industrial estate.

I wouldn't mind speed limits if they were relevant. 30 is fine for built-up areas, but how about knocking it down to 20 when kids are going to/from school? The 70 limit on motorways has been in place since the early sixties when cars had drum brakes and cross-ply tyres. I reckon the accident rate wouldn't go up even if the limit was raised to 85.

Leaves on the line? The wrong type of snow?

Electronic - Disappointed haven't heard it for a-g-e-s.

guess his age? Errr, 25?

Amen to that, brother.

I wouldn't be suprised if he was ducking out of difficult games given his current level of confidence. He's a lost cause.

How do you plan to 'un-steralise' those who pass the test?

Punishment beatings for people who hog the middle lane on motorways and those that don't indicate properly at roundabouts.
