We need the army on the streets NOW!

Damn. I'd have to buy a truck that gets better than the 12 mpg I have now.


Well, if'n you hadn't lifted it half a mile and put them dadgum tractor tires on it . . . .



I know, you like it to growl at oncoming traffic as you tool down the pike.
 
Just back from joining a queue to fill up one of our three cars. The other two will wait until things calm down. There is half a tank in one, and one-third in the other. We need a full tank because we are going on holiday and it will take two-thirds of a tank just to get there.

It took twenty minutes to get on the forecourt but when we emerged, the queue was three times as long so about an hour for those at the back - if the fuel lasts.

There's a bloke on the landy forum saying this is all the fault of the Good Friday Agreement. I asked for clarification, still waiting.

I have a Mamod model steam engine. My brother had a small portable farm engine that can light his house, but it is noisy. Luckily he had no nearby neighbours except the old boy fifty yards away who was completely deaf.

I have an 800watt two stroke gen set from B+Q £25in the sale. no sodding petrol though unless i syphon next doors car. :devil:
 
this is now getting serious.

stil no army on the streets.

civil militia now driving tankers - but still no army!

today gov sugested letting low risk prisoners out if they have a licence to help! not enough! let everyone out who is prepared to drive a tanker - no licence needed, give them a chance, if they trangres the army could, IF THEY WERE ON THE SODDING SETREETS, shoot them,
 
My uncle's bought a VW electric thing that moves silently like it was bewitched. Why don't the Insulate twats glue themselves to a power station? I don't know if the garages have fuel near me - we still have a third of a tank in the wagon and nowhere to go. How do tanker drivers get to work? What's the insurance like for a pony and are they left hand drive or ambilingual?

you ask many questions, grass hopper...

my view is that hybrids should have a siren on them, like a WW2 stuka (volkswagen would like that), when in electric mode.

insulate? let them use whatecer glue they want, just dont close the road, one picketed me once, i drove over his foot (ankle actually) 2 tons of 4x4 probably hurt, dash cam showed it was his fault. so no compen either.

fuel pumps around here seemed to stabilise, then went stupid again at tea time tonight. WE NEED THE ARMY OUT!

Tanker drivers cycle to work, on unicycles dressed as clowns.

pony insurance depends on many things, but like car insurance it IS legalised fraud.

Some thug drained the petrol from a local van by drilling holes in the petrol tank.

I am surprised they didn't set fire to themselves.

And a local tried to fill a lidless water butt with petrol. He was stopped by the forecourt staff who switched off the pump...

Imagine not wanting a job that involves regularly having to shit into a carrier bag and live off crisps, because we don't provide for HGVs to park up and use civilised facilities :confused:

We had a contracor on site once who deliberatley drilled through a high pressure gas main - to see what it was!! didnt blow himself up - but then blocked the hole with blue tack and dirt and some rapid set concrete.
its still catalytic converters that are being nicked

totaly spot on point.
Maybe lorry drivers need a spell in the army, national service, toughen 'em up a bit, we cant all stay at the midland hotel - unlike boris and his gang.
 
Shit!

This afternoon I went to my physiotherapist. On the way back we joined the queue for petrol at our local ASDA (Walmart in US).

After half an hour we were beside a petrol pump. But the flap over the filler cap was locked and immovable. We had to drive off with no new petrol. We drove to our normal mechanics. They couldn't open it either and eventually had to force with a crowbar.

We suspect that when they were servicing it on Wednesday, they used the key fob - which is erratic - and locked the car and fuel filler flap. But the key fob wouldn't open it again...

So now I have to find another outlet with petrol, queue, fill up and buy a locking fuel cap. Blast!

its been quiet round here petrol queue wise today, forecourts in teh main open, no queues. bizzare, it came from nowhere and disappeared just as quick. probably not conected to the tory party conference being here next week.

What are those things with two wheels that don't need petrol or batteries?
They could be useful now.

zimmer frames?

I would use one except my balance is shot. I'd fall off after a few yards. I have been considering a tricycle. I borrowed one but I started to tilt after one hundred yards...
consider a quad.

Army wouldve sorted this out in a few days.
 
But but, the crisis is over. Everything will be back to normal in a couple of days, well, maybe next week, well maybe after Christmas ( which is cancelled btw because Santa needs wheels and the Three Kings have 4WDs ).

Wouldn't believe a word any of the present govt has to say - or the police :mad:
 
Now fuel filler flap is busted open, went on a petrol search.

First seven garages - nothing. Eighth? Only expensive 97 octane petrol at £1.55 a litre and max of £35 per customer. Bought enough to go on holiday. At least I'll get there but coming back? Um.

£1.55 a litre is $5.14 per US gallon. Ouch!
 
I get daily Police reports of crimes in our local police area as part of belonging to Neighbourhood Watch.

On Wednesday night there were five (reported - probably more not reported yet) of fuel being siphoned from cars. Three were in a rural village - all diesel cars - and two were left with not enough to drive to a fuel station if it was open. The third had a reserve tank holding two gallons which couldn't be drained.
 
Someone seems to have a thing about the army 'sorting it out'....with what? Trucks that they don't have, drivers that they can't spare (they're too busy driving ambulances) or with force that they're not allowed to do under UK law?

Just calm down and don't vote for these muppets again.

The army has fuel tankers, and qualified army drivers can drive commercial HGVs. When I was 18 I passed the Ministry of Defence driving test that allowed me to drive any vehicle with Royal Navy on the side if authorised by an officer - and I was an officer. A civilian couldn't drive an HGV or PSV until they were 21 but I could. Whether I was actually competent? I wasn't sure. I drove a tank transporter with a tank but had a motorcycle escort to clear the road, and again an aircraft transporter at 5 miles an hour down a specially widened road.

On both times I was scared stiff...
