Hit children on the head with mallets if they don't wear cycle helmets.

I hope bollo works in the private sector. Dread to think our taxes are going towards him wasting time firing off complaints to the DFT for trivial reasons...

 

[Bollo]

If i was the person opening your complaint I would instantly ball it up and throw it in the bin. And that would be even if I agreed with you!

If I knew I was sending a complaint to you bonj, I'd instantly ball it up and shove it up your arse. And ram it home with a mudguard.

It may seem trivial, but it is an important point.

During a cycling session in a school playground today not one kid that had a helmet had it fitted properly!

When so much is weighed in the pro helmet camps about how 'you really must wear a helmet, or you will die' why is abso-f*ck*ng-lutely nothing done to promote how you should wear the bloody thing in order that they might actually afford you some protection?

In our sessions we'd much rather the kids learn and practice their cycling skills, sans helmet, in order to ride more safely and in turn be much safer, rather than listening to idiot adults scaring them away from a skill and pastime that will improve their health and their confidence.

Tested on a nine year old. He got a better score than me.

Acually this is just the tip of an iceberg.

The whole site is far from "educational"

The emphasis is teaching children to fear roads and cars rather than interact on an equal basis, and in some cases with a right of priority.

Other delights include:

Before his leg was bent backwards
He loved to play football all day
But the boy didn't cross in a safe place
Where he could see cars come his way

He then didn't stop, look and listen
A car hit him at quite a pace
And now he cannot play football
'Cos his leg broke in more than one place

+1...Though...I am worried this might become a new craze in the school ground.....

I can't find my wooden mallet but I never thought to look in the kid's schoolbags

what if he did it via email? would they ball their computer up instead?

Bonj 'balling' his computer?!

 

[Bollo]

Bonj, "our taxes"? Come on - that's a bit UKIP even for you. Are you using a sub-editor these days?

Which port gets 'the special treatment'?

 

[Crackle]

If he was doing it often it would have to be the serial port.

That's the core of my whinge. I think the game is w@nk but the whole site is just the Politics of Fear for 6 year-olds.

I've seen some related material at my littl'n's school. The overriding message is "look out for yourselves kids, because the important adults don't have the time to give a toss."

Bonj would accuse me of using the PC port <coat removed from hook>

Ah, so you ARE being paid by taxpayer's money to compose a complaint about some game highlighting the dangers of not wearing a helmet! You might as well just sign on with a 'bad back' - no different

I can't read his posts, but I'm guessing that Bonj is protesting that being hit on the head with a mallet didn't do him any harm......
