The UK outlawed driving while holding a mobile phone a couple of years back. How many folk swerve in front of you, pass at 100 miles an hour or maneouvre round round-a-bouts holding the damn thing to there ear!!!
I think when you see bad driving and idiots on their phones, you should be allowed to fire a paint gun at their car and leave a coloured paint spot for everyone to see.
THE MORE PAINT SPOTS A CAR HAS - THE BIGGER THE IDIOT DRIVING IT!!!!!

DRIVER LANE DISCIPLINE
We drove up from Yorkshire to Central Scotland and the number of drivers who don't know what lanes they are supposed to be in is amazing!! People drive in the outside lane without any overtaking they switch from lane one to lane three to overtake then swerve back across all three to leave the motorway at the next slip road.
THERE SHOULD BE A SEPERATE DRIVING TEST FOR MOTORWAY DRIVING TO KEEP THE MORONS OFF THE ROAD

DEATH OF COMMON SENSE
Got sent this in an Email today and thought it was appropriate!!
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense. Mr. Sense had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons such as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge). His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place - Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Mr. Sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge financial settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on; if not, join the majority and do Nothing.
LET'S ALL MOURN AND HOPE THAT SON OF COMMON SENSE GROWS UP QUICKLY

FARE TRADE INITIATIVE
I watched an article on the news this morning highlighting the plight of Ghanaian farmers and urging us to pay a little extra for their products to improve their lives. I have no problem at all with the principle of this. What I do have a problem with is the widespread profiteering by governments and middle men. By the time my little donation has been taxed, paid bribes and given someone a profit....very little gets to where it is intended to be - and where it most needed!!!!! If African countries want aid then they should stop the arms dealing, the civil wars, the bribery and corruption that goes on and start helping themselves before holding out the begging bowl.
THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE THE POORER COUNTRIES NEED TO GET THEIR HOUSES IN ORDER AND ENCOURAGE SELF HELP BEFORE LOOKING FOR HELP FROM OTHERS.
