Restoration of the Death Penalty

spen666

Its time we brought back the death penalty for (amongst other offences)
1. Breaking glass/ leaving broken on the road
The offence is obviously aggravated if said broken glass is in clycle lane or on cycle path - in these circumstances it should be death by hanging, followed by drawing and quartering ( or whichever order you prefer to inflict)

Any other offences for which we should introduce the death penalty?



(PS I am of course not being serious about restoration of the death penalty - its too good for them)

gosport_commuter

imo it should be introduced for the needless act of gunning your engine to the red line to pass a cyclist; when in fact immediately after the afore-mentioned cyclist there is a queue of traffic (not a surprise queue - one that is there everyday, and has been visible on this occasion for the last 200 yards!) that necessitates the immediate application of the cars brakes - hard.

Such needless disregard for life should be rewarded in kind.

Using mobiles whilst driving?

Driving around in the dark with no lights on? I suggest a fitting punishment: an irate bull, in a small, pitch black room with electrified walls also containing the offender. Bull stumbles into wall, gets zapped, gets angry, jumps around and humanely(I may not be certain about this) smooshes offender.

Riding a moped?

"In an annoying way" would be considered an aggravating factor, deserving of a slow and painful death.

Also: being a bit left wing.

When I drive my car, it winds me up how many people drive on the white line, obviously a hanging offence. Now change to my bike, now they want to drive in the gutter, usually just before a set of lights on red, gun it past ye, then park in the gutter. Drawn and quartered isn't good enough for that one

Which day would you like to appear before the committee?

[actually, I'm having a right wing day, as I read on the front of the Torygraph that the UK economy is likely to contract by 10% if the Eurozone collapses "in a disorderly way". This (IMO) is likely to lead to basic rate tax hitting about 30%, higher rate hitting 45%, and VAT going to 22.5%. All of which brought on my melancholia, which I self medicate with bouts of frothing right wing rhetoric.]

Picking your nose in the work bogs and leaving the fecking drying bogey on the fecking cubicle wall.

That deserves the death penalty with ANY doubt whatsoever.

spen666

Riding a bike with buckeld wheels and under inflated tyres is clearly bike abouse and deserves the death penalty and all your relatives being placed on the bike offenders register and barred from working withbikes for the rest of their lives or having unsupervised contact with bikes

Absolutely. At traffic lights the car in front is turning right so the one behind pulls into the gutter so that they can pull away a millisecond quicker than if they'd just stayed behind. The lights turn red, the front car pulls right in front of the oncoming traffic, the one behind speeds off and I'm left stuck at the lights. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Well stop doing it

CiB

People who amble when ambling isn't called for, like the walk-up to a football match or buying wine on the way home.

Yoooofs of terday who wear their trousers too low and their pants too high, revealing some inches of material that really isn't for public display. Gaaah.

That woman who drives to Buckingham at 40mph dropping to 35 on the bend near the x-roads even though it's a clear line of sight and her ropey old Astra can't possibly launch itself into the ditch with only 20bhp at the wheels. Dozy bint.

Other people mainly. Hanging's too good for 'em, mostly.

I'm free next Thursday; my worker's uniform is at the cleaners at the moment.

It is a bit fecking gloomy isn't it.

These people are often referred to (correctly) as new-bie-tri-ath-letes.

Allegedly.

People who stand infront of the discounted meat section in Morrisons aimlessly talking and preventing me from getting to THAT T-bone steak which was £7 and now £4 should be greeted with the death penalty.

Also people who stroll along the train to the first empty seat, thereby allowing people coming the other way to get to the other empty seat thereby preventing me from getting a seat should be greeted with the death penalty.

DonDaddyD

People who overtake me on the left.

clarkey cat

Women that wear 'Baby on Board' badges.

It's a habit I've had since I learned to ride a bike, no going back on it now.

I cycle clipless these days so it saves on the instep but it does give me problems with my knees as a result because it is changing my style to something alien to me.

Pedalling with the right bit of your foot shouldn't put any more load on your knee than the instep. If anything, it should be better as you can use your whole leg.

It's just a case of getting used to a different position on my ligaments (which have always been a bit weak) I am also a little flat footed anyway so it's a combination of things.

We had someone do this, but they smattered it all over the mirror in nice patterens. Lovely.
