To say you don't means you do not realise you are doing it

I obviously bow to your superior knowledge of my activities - up until
now I was under the impression that I have never driven above the
speed limit, especially since I cannot drive and have never even been
behind the wheel of a car. I do appreciate you correcting my clearly
erroneous impression. Can you tell me if I have any children I don't
know about, too?

Sorry to **** on your bonfire, but I did actually say "if you drive".

Please try to read things properly.

No, you do not as you have had to have had sex with a woman for that to
happen (or supplied sperm in a cup to a doctor, but again, impossible in
your case)

Ah yes, I see your point. Although I would point out that is due to a
war injury and I'm actually rather sensitive about it. :-)

How about you try not pretending that how you look at things is a
universal truth? I think you'll find that most GOOD drivers obey the
speed limit. Like the warning on McDonalds coffee cups, it is there
for a reason.

more than one instance of Sky using very creative accounting to avoid
the payment of VAT.


Hada look at your supermarket receipt recently?

At no point did I suggest that Sky were alone in avoiding VAT
payments. However I think that Tesco don't evade their corporation tax
in the way that News Corp did.

Um, fine. Perhaps a look in the mirror is in order ?

I think you'll find that most GOOD drivers obey the speed limit.

... and you know this because of your extensive experience?

I drive 30k+ miles a year.. you drive - how many was it?
Zero ?

I concur.

I must drive in odd places.
EVERYWHERE I drive my car is constantly pushed to go faster than the
speed limit by people behind me who do not want to be doing the speed
limit. Perhaps it is the curse of a fast car? or just that there are
very few GOOD drivers on the road.

34 in a 30 is not obeying the speed limit btw. Neither is 31.
75 on the Motorway is not obeying the speed limit either.

I don't have a problem with people speeding btw - up to them what they
want to do. I do have a problem with people tailgating me because they
want me to go faster. I do have a problem with people saying they
never speed when they quite clearly do. I do have a problem with
people who have zero experience in a subject being quite objectionable
about it.

Enjoy the killfile status.

Funny how people react when they can't win an argument isn't it ?

Welcome to Usenet, where everyone thinks there point of view is the be all
and end all.

Everyone believes their point of view is correct - on Usenet and IRL.
Being an idiot about it is not unique to Usenet either.

I choose to ignore idiots once they make themselves known to me - both
on Usenet and in real life.
