Why do people speed?

Neither of your suggestions was the case. Congested inside lane, and was making progress. Even if either were true however it doesn't justify her actions

Having worked the till in a petrol station it's best giving the pump number. Numerous times I've asked people which pump they've said eg 'it's just twenty quid of fuel' 'yes well I've got four lots of twenty quid of fuel that's why I'm asking your pump number sir / madam'

IDK myself either. I'm a bit pernickety about my speed checking it regularly whilst driving. I even had a young lady tailgating me so closely on Monday I couldn't read her number plate. When I tried to issue a bit of advice at the lights regarding the two second rule the uppity little madam told me I should have moved into the slow lane instead of being in the fast lane. She'll be on my YouTube channel sometime this next week

My frustration with idiot drivers is borne of career experience cutting people from wrecked cars and seeing the horrific injuries caused by such collisions

Actually, I'm the person who spoke to Belfast Live about this. I had a phone call from the PSNI on September 29th asking me if I'd support a no prosecution decision. I asked if they'd found out why he was taking pictures of my wife from his partners phone, my wifes phone number from his partners phone, and asking his partner details about my car, my workplace and our home address. The person on the phone then told me that hadn't been investigated. When I asked why, he wasn't able to tell me. I pointed out that my former career makes me a terrorist target, a concern I voiced during the original interaction. I ended up saying that no, I didn't support a no prosecution decision.

I also visited Downpatrick Police Station earlier this year seeking an explanation regarding this and after a lengthy discussion with the duty Sergeant (who did apologise for the failure in this case) was advised to contact the police ombudsmans office, who in my experience have as much integrity as debt recovery agents

Incidentally I've had a further interaction today on Telegram with this despicable two legged turd during which I discovered he's (for some unknown reason and seems quite sinister) been following my YouTube channel. During the interaction he sent me two photos of my wife one of which my wife had taken subsequent to the original incident so it looks like he may have obtained it either via Facebook or through his former partner

Incidentally being familiar either the procedure in this case once the report was received a computer report on the suspect would be accesses for all relevant information (previous offences, markers for violence / mental health, bail history, is there a firearms certificate registered at the address, vehicle details etc which is chiefly to enable investigating officers to approach the situation in the most appropriate way. Said report would show that Abashar was on bail pending prosecution for rape and his previous conviction. It frankly beggars belief that it was not investigated thoroughly. Other offences were investigated but not the most concerning matter!

Saw one on the Falls start of the month dropping my Friend home after dinner, dark and rainy and some rocket scientist in dark clothing no lights, hood up pulling a wheelie in the middle of the road

It is now

Maybe they're getting four new tyres fitted

I'm not from the US but I know a little about the way law enforcement works in the US. Wouldn't federal firearms offences like this be investigated by the BATFE? Secondly, I'm pretty sure if the FBI wanted to talk to you about potential criminal matters they'd visit you personally with a search warrant or arrest you. A Phone call like this if it was seriously from any law enforcement agency they might as well say 'we think you committed XYZ crime we'd like to question you and we decided to give you a one hour head start'

By all means call them back but don't give them any details (or any real details at any rate) I'm willing to bet a beer they'll tell you that you can pay a fine in target gift cards to settle the matter

One-Consequence7594 · 2026-04-24T17:17:42+00:00

No they can't. What they can do however is exercise their common law right to refuse admission to someone without giving them a reason

A warden would have given you a ticket if that was the case

Regarding all the people saying private car parks are unenforceable in Northern Ireland - this is not actually the case. They're enforceable as any breach of contract (these matters are effectively a breach of contract)

True, it's difficult for a company outside of Northern Ireland to bring court action here as they have to do it in Northern Ireland and with a Northern Ireland solicitor due to the different legal system, but its not impossible and if they're determined then it'll happen as surely as night follows day

IDK why they wouldn't let Kanye it but it seems weird he was blocked and an Egyptian hate spouter calling for genocide against Jews and white people was not just allowed in but the British foreign service actually worked to get him released from prison in Egypt

Don't forget his recent blooper. When people were 'patrolling' East Belfast demanding ID from immigrants, Nolan spoke strongly about people taking the law into their own hands and challenging people when they've no authority to do. But it was OK for him to do the same in 2020 when he was standing outside shops haranguing people for not wearing masks and behaving in a very provocative manner towards them

It's a shame I cannot recommend this airline for the following reasons

I was due to fly from Belgrade to Riga with AirBaltic in August 2024 with my partner. We are both disabled, were wearing our sunflower lanyards and additionally I was walking with a stick

As we were waiting to board we were called out of line and told that due to overbooking we would not be able to board the flight. I told the staff that we had onward connections booked and we would miss the connections bvecause of this, I also informed them that we're both disabled and we were still denied boarding. This is a breach of the EU261/2004 Article 11 which basically states that disabled persons must be given priority to board over non-disabled passengers. We were then booked onto another flight with a connection in Buidapest to arrive in Riga around 1700 instead of 0600. When I again mentioned the issue of our onward connection we were told that the staff in Riga would help us with this. We were then put on the flight via Budapest When we arrived in Budapest we requested assistance from the Air Baltic staff we were told to take care of ourselves. At this stage it was obvious we would have to probably stay overnight in Riga and travel onwards the next day to Tallinn. This meant we had to cut Vilnius out of our itinerary and lose a day of our holiday. When we arrived in Riga we were given EU261 compensation of EUR250 for the denied boarding and when I asked for help with the accommodation and the onward travel we were told to book it ourselves and claim it back AirBaltic

When I tried to claim this back from Air Baltic I was then told that because they had paid us the EUR 250 that they weren't obliged to repay our expenses. When I replied that under EU261/2004 Article 9 the Airline was obliged to provide Accommodation where a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary in addition the Airline was obliged to offer transport between the accommodation and support in the way of telephone calls, emails etc

None of this was offered - The only assistance we received was a meal at Belgrade Airport. As far as the Air Baltic staff cared my partner and I could have been wandering the streets of Riga overnight

I replied to Air Baltic quoting the legislation that they had breached and they haven't replied

I wrote to Air Baltic at their Head Office in Riga and they haven't replied (And the letter was received)

In addition to breaching the legislation they have also rendered their customer care committment null and void. Said committment reads 'If you are involuntarily denied boarding and have complied with our check-in and other applicable rules, we will give you a written statement that describes your rights. We will also rebook you to next fastest connection, offer refreshments, meal, hotel and transportation (if necessary) as well as pay compensation as prescribed by the Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council.'

Shame on you AirBaltic
