    Ah, you mean a broken one flying at you. Yeah, that would be nasty.

    In that part of Paradise ... more chance of being hit by a Campervan.

    Being hit by a yellow dildo would be preferable.

    This from Berries is brilliant ''Statistically campervans are wider than cars'' Statistically? I would say Actually.

    Never happened. There has not been a crash on that corner for years.

    Like you said earlier, it is the locals who cut the corner so perhaps I should have said bus or truck rather than campervan. It was the width of the vehicle I was highlighting, not any particular driving practices.

    With the big yellow dildos in place ... unlikely at that corner. The poles are only on 200 meters of the roadway. Plenty of road in the rest of the gorge you can (and have been) get/been clobbered by a campervan.

    A Hiace is just a van, add curtains and a mattress, it is still just a van.

    How do you make a ewe turn?

    If I were to put some curtains/bedding and a two burner cooker in our Nissan SUV, would it (statistically) become a camper?

    Why does Akzle wear track pants?
    Because the sheep started running when they heard a zipper.

    Probably not. I'd say you'd have more chance (statistically) of just looking like a homeless person.














    Unless you were in Mangakino.
