In the Courts here recently, Circuit Judge Lord Holtenby-Smythe adjudicated under the law of Cycling Furiously. He found Messrs Hoodlum and Hoodie guilty. Alledgedly they had proceeded on their safety bicycles without due regard for the Red Flag showing on the corner of the High Street and Bank Row.
We can do better than that! In idle moments in the Squire Law Library in my youth - and there were many such moments - I used to go trawl through the law reports for outré judges names. The winner, by some margin, was the Honourable Sir James Harcourt Roualeyn Hovell-Thurlow Cumming-Bruce.

Crackle,
I have fond, rose tinted mammaries of traveling on the C4 stage coach to the town of Deva. I was up in the luggage rack.
If I kept my mouth open at the bottom of Backford dip, I could catch a few flies as we crossed the canal.

You Sir, must keep your thoughts of rose-tinted bosoms to yourself, wheresoever your fondness for them takes you. This is, to my cognisance, a forum where even the mention of a Lady's ankle is frowned upon.

My wifey was telling my today that my aunt can go from Gosport to Birmingham on a coach for the grand sum of £2.50!!!! And 50p of that is a booking fee.
Bugger me I said, is Birmingham that bad?!

Indeed. I suppose I could light my abode with candles too but quite why I'd want to, I couldn't say

The bedroom is the place where the floor is used to store a mixture of toys, pens, paper and once worn clothes all mixed together like a surrealist art display.

I gave up owning a car and messing about with lying insurers about 7 years ago. This for some curious reason has left me insured to drive 2 other peoples' cars, one of which is outside right now. The less I want them, the more they seem to arrive.
I'll have to step out of character for a moment...
Rot! rear subframe went, 450 sobs for labour plus some advisories so nearly 800 in a garage, two new tyres at some point, one new cambelt at some point, so upwards of 1200 on a 14 year old car and you can buy a lot of banger for a grand.
I thought about doing it myself but when I looked under I realized that the rot was spreading and it was only waxoiled by me a couple of years ago, so in the end that's what swung my decision. It would have been into welding next year. So with great reluctance and a weary sigh, I scrapped it. 7 years, 4 MOT's passed with nothing and the others with minor stuff, so can't complain, except now, when I don't have anything. I'll maybe replace it after summer. In the meantime you can expect more threads with moaning in them.

One is also without an automobile whilst one's clutch pedal is repaired. But would I want to use a bus, no chance. As Jezza said, use a bus catch a disease.
