I /think/ so. But how can I tell?

I withheld a bunch of keys in lieu of wages and was arrested, my
solicitor quickly pointed out that was my entitlement as a lien, the
same as the garage keeps your car until you pay the bill. The police
didn't know the law.

You don't need to think. Simply donate some organs....

I take it then that you are one of the townies whos cars are all 12 feet wide
- well they must be, because the drivers clearly think there is another six
feet of car between the real passenger door and the side of their imaginary
car !

I was once arrested on suspicion of murder - and released some 12
hours later. (Wrong place, wrong time). As it happens, none of the
people arrested in that raid were guilty. We knew who was though.

At the weekend I was riding misc bicycles. Yesterday my car was in
for a service and I had to do a site visit. I borrowed the company
van. It's white (mostly). I failed to read the Sun, cut up a cyclist,
jump any lights or heave it up onto the pavement with hazards on.

That's not a problem.

It's the tossers who *think* they're Colin McRae that are the problem...

We overtook Colin's brother last year on the A9 just south of
Pitlochry. There were a few other rally cars on the road but Alistair
was the only driver we recognised [1].

We gave him a wave as we passed.

[1] The name painted on the side was a bit of a give away.

I didn't catch the name but as we were driving up a serpentine mountain road
a while back the leader of the local official road rally came down it.
Sideways. Wrong side of the road.

Seems that since the roads are lightly used, they don't bother to close
them.

Wheeeeeeeee

Doesn't worry me too much seeing as alot of lawyers only really know
their own field and even then, have to look some stuff up.
