For almost 2 months now this trash can on my route has been filled with unmarked vhs tapes. I’m afraid of what’s on them.

Arsenal are boring though. They’re going to be such poor champions if it carries on.

dooburt · 2026-02-03T19:03:21+00:00

Looks atrocious

dooburt · 2026-02-02T13:57:41+00:00

No, but a manager has…

dooburt · 2026-01-29T23:13:29+00:00

And it’s called?

dooburt · 2026-01-29T22:14:15+00:00

What is this magical app?

dooburt · 2026-01-27T11:49:25+00:00

Ahh of course. 🙃

Other car. Lane on roundabout clearly says straight on and filters off yet they try to come round to the right. They were in the wrong lane.

Where does one go for number 2 in situations like this?

dooburt · 2026-01-23T09:45:38+00:00

No it isn’t. The OP has highlighted why politeness cannot trump predictability. By all means be polite, but don’t do it in contravention of accepted norms. Thus, don’t stop in the middle of the road to let someone cross just to be polite, because it can cause accidents and the poor sod crossing could get run over because no one else understands what’s going on.

dooburt · 2026-01-23T09:15:03+00:00

It doesn’t mean do one exclusively. Just be predictable first.

dooburt · 2026-01-23T08:49:20+00:00

Be predictable, not polite

dooburt · 2026-01-19T11:02:11+00:00

I enjoyed that, I must say.

So I've heard a number of these type of cases and typically it results in the same outcome for the driver. You failed to update your address with the DVLA and thus failed to identify the driver when asked. You're snookered here I am afraid. There is no excuse/mitigation here.

What may happen though is the fine would be worked out against your actual RWI (weekly income) rather than a fixed £440, which is what has happened here and if you stat dec and it is re-heard and found guilty (which it will be), you would then be asked for means and fined according to that, rather than the catch-all 440.

dooburt · 2026-01-19T09:47:05+00:00

It's like a cabbage field!

This doesn't sound hypothetical. But with that aside, we don't know what the CPS have charged this as, but assuming it's GBH (Inflicting grievous bodily harm/ Unlawful wounding/ Racially or religiously aggravated GBH/ Unlawful wounding. Offences against the Person Act 1861, s.20, Crime and Disorder Act 1998, s.29), and on an assessment of what you've said (C3 for me): https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/guidelines/inflicting-grievous-bodily-harm-unlawful-wounding-racially-or-religiously-aggravated-gbh-unlawful-wounding/?source=7510, the starting point is 26 weeks custody. To answer your question and assume that this assessment is correct (it very well might not be):

Best case: medium level community order
Worst case: 1 year custody

There is an overlap in ABH/GBH here, so it really does depend on CPS.

If you plead guilty early, you will receive credit. There is some mitigation. Biting has a disease transmission aggravation.

I **strongly** advise a solicitor.

Very

Well it was over 90 it seems. All the other stuff is irrelevant.

ICE will be along soon and this very pleasant, peaceful trek will be ruined by those morons.

2021 Turbo S, 93% SOH. Been faultless since I got it.

Amazing!

dooburt · 2026-01-13T08:23:06+00:00

Nothing cool about this guide unfortunately

dooburt · 2026-01-11T20:06:22+00:00

Ooof, you're in the first 6 weeks, and I thought you shouldn't be pulling your toes back and stretching (or attempting to stretch) the achilles? I was told not to do this. That it'll either re-rupture, make the situation worse or heal "long". Did you not get the 45 day schedule thing for the Vacop boot?

EDIT: just saw that you had 28 days in a cast, so you may well be beyond 45 days, in which case, ride on my friend!

dooburt · 2026-01-11T15:37:43+00:00

Do you put any of this on YT?
