when to palmerston north today in the car ,flatmate needed something,Sat a speed limit there & back to get a ticket just around the corner from my home.66kph in a 50.I think that's my 100 points up, see if i get the letter..

on the way up i saw what i think was a hand held speed camera in a red comador station wagon in the dip before Shannon.Something flashed the truck coming down the hill,and the cop was sitting in the passergers door of the car , he was park perpendicular to the road. .the Black SS comador is back on the kapiti coast too,the cop inside normal wear the aussie cow boy cop hat too just to help fool you...he was sitting in the road works on the mad mile yesterday and the red van was by Taupo swamp.. .

Cops are issued an "Akubra" style wide brimmed hat, its a legit part of the uniform. The police are just being a responsible employer and protecting their employees from the ravages of the sun and the ozone hole. :lol:

You really do take things personally don't you Lou. Maybe you should have followed the lead of other dissgruntled ex-coppers and become a defence lawyer, think of the fun you could be having now every day in Court defending unjustly issued speeding tickets.

he was happy of his three pages of people he had snaped.the writing was on the wall with all the cops on the road at the moment,there is also a dark blue xr8 somtimes i think the ss replaced it. I should start taking down the Reg numbers.

the closer you are to home, the less there is to be gained by speeding (but just as much to be lost)

Speeding in your own neighbourhood is shitting in your own nest.

Probably partly to do with being more relaxed around your home turf. Same reason many accidents happen close to home.

i don't think he takes it personally - he just gets off on being a stirrer. can't offer any constructive input, so he dwells in the lowest form of wit

It's humour guys, just humour. Not everything is personal.

"Lowest form of wit"?? Without Swift, Voltaire and other "stirrers" (satirists) we would be back in the 17th century: divine right of kings, Star Chamber justice, burnings at the stake...
People like Lou might be a thorn in the flesh but think twice before you rubbish them. You need them more than you realize.

Most of the time you get slowed down by stupid asions in howick turning left in the middle of the bloody road and other totally stupid shit.... God only knows how they get their drivers licence... Same applies to women in there "bitch wagons" (4WD) they think they own the darn road. :shit:

And then there is otara...... - That can wait till another time :whistle:

Good case for the :finger: (Jokes)
