40 MPH MORONS
Place: Beaminster Road, Time: All the bloody time! Why oh why oh why do a VAST majority of idiots cruise along the Beaminster road at the break-neck speed (I’ll break their bloody necks speed) of 35-40 Mph. The National Speed limit is 60 and this is TWO WAY TRAFFIC. What is their problem??? It’s not just OAPs either!! There is one Ford Ka in particular that, on route through Melplash (at 20MPH, may I add), will not accelerate on leaving the village and retains that speed all the way to Bridport. Surely this is ILLEGAL!???!
WEST BAY
It’s a DUMP. Excluding East Beach and the old part of the harbour, West Bay should be napalmed off the map as far as I’m concerned. Over-priced chip-butties, crabby over-priced pubs, sky-rats, grockles and mid-age-crisis-bikers. Have the whole bloody lot strung up. Remember the good ol’ days? 25 pints of Stella in the George (when you could afford it at 1.80 a pint), and off to the West Point Tavern for a few shots before staggering up to Divvies for a Sunday night rock night where only 5 people were there? Art Galleries, tea rooms, hairdressers, bric-a-brac shops, concrete view-destroying monstrosities, Chelsea tractors and an army of Notting Hill-billies. That’s what it is, and something needs to be done about it.
Origin of “gets my goat”:
This idiom comes from the world of horse racing. I understand that horses are highly temperamental creatures. In order to keep their prized possession calm and relaxed, trainers often kept a goat as a stable companion for the horse. Goats do not get flustered very easily, and their presence in the stable had a calming influence on the horse. Since the goat was a constant companion, the horse became rather attached to the animal. In order to ensure that a particular horse didn’t perform well in a big race, stable boys working for rival owners sometimes stole the goat the night before the big event. The absence of the goat made the horse moody, and as a result it didn’t perform well in the race. So when you say that someone has got your goat, you are comparing yourself to the horse, and not the goat.
Interesting stuff eh?
The pedestrians!when turning from west street to victoria grove,why do people wait until you are on top of them to cross,which they do slowly(Not oap’s)or diagonally so it takes twice as long…when at the numerous traffic lights the car in front doesn’t pull away properly and two cars get thru’ before it goes red!…the stopping in the middle of the roundabout at bottom of north allington so no one from st swithin’s or north allington can get to west road/magdalan lane…The idiots that park on the corner of alexander road/plottingham walkway because they may actually have to cross the road to get to their car…that I have to go thru 3 sets of workmens traffic lights to get to symondsbury.
Oh forgot,the idiots that overtake you in a 30mph zone, even on foundry corner(west road)
People who park for a couple of minutes on double yellow lines for example in wide South Street, not causing any congestion, say just to pop into Hussey’s to buy a pasty have my sympathy but the indifferent morons who park opposite Mike’s wonderful wholefood shop by the Tyre shop in Victoria Grove beggar belief. They block the free flow of traffic in what is a very narrow road and don’t seem worried in the slightest – they need nutting or whatever the female equivelant is – titting – I suppose, because over 50% of them are females.
A pint and a glass of wine cost £6.20 in a West Bay pub. Two pints and two glases of wine in B & B in Bridport cost £8.60.
40mph morons; the answer is in your rant Carlito “”””Ford ka”””” horrible bit of sh1T, had the displeasure of having to drive one as a courtesy car recently. Same people drive at the same speed everywhere so when you are in a 30mph they go 40 and leave you standing then when you are in the countryside and want to go 60 they are at 40, all Christians I rekon! West Bay; agree, ps I was probably one of the unfortunate people in Divvies, always ended up there after drinking too much, always regretted it; agga do do do best name for 4X4’s is w*nker tanker”””” love it
just remembered that some old todger got done for dangerous driving on the A35 many years ago; he was driving at 30mph. There is one bloke in a red polo that drives at about 35mph between Dorch and Bridders with 30 cars behind him!! road rage heaven (and he doesn’t have a Christian fish stuck on his car…must have fallen off)!
knew a horse, that hung out with goats, they taught it to run in ever decreasing circles therefore dropping his shoulder, which technique enabled horse to pitch rider into stonewalls at speed.. maybe goats only good indoors….
Methinks that someone hasn’t been taking their tablets on a few of these…
Curry goat, bot me rass.
there are racists wherever you go! best thing to do, on encountering any said ar$e#ol*s is to show your disgust at their apalling ignorance, tell them !! -then blank them. they are’nt worth a discussion at all if you ask me…maybe ask the bat if he can add them to his hitlist along with those roofrats you’re so fond of.
B-Bridport R-Radio I-Is D-Definately P-Positively O-Outstanding R-Representative T-Townwise
rats (mr shack) are wonderful creatures, have shared many happy moments with them.. and did you know there are only two animals that can actually die of boredom (in captivity) one is the parrot.. and the other is the rat. unfortunately carlito, it (racism) goes beyond ignorance or curiosity.. it is quite active in local goverment (so i hear) and by local i mean Bridport
…mentioning Goatboy makes me wonder where realworld has got to-any ideas??
…yeah but we’re bound to get another to replace him! —maybe that fat-tongued cockney cookery gonk jamie o’liver-and-onions will come across and snap up a second home in bradpo'(he’d sound like a native in no time!!) And he could probably get a job in long’s till he found his feet.
I had the opportunity of driving at 40 miles an hour ALL the way to beaminster and back on wednesday(TWICE)in the hope that carlito would be following me….but I didnt.
60 mph needs 18 car lengths stopping distance( the tailgater has NO chance)
nothing further to say to me sadshack/ well answer me this…. do you always gets so air rea ated when people disagree with you? and if so, how do you react when a something really important crops up? pace yourself, you will run out of adjectives if you have not already?
Rosieo6, when you wrote that you drove 40mph all the way to Beaminster and back, did you realise that twice during the journey you were speeding through Melplash which has a 30 mph speed limit?
So the boy racers and speed freaks want people to go faster, Why? What difference does it make to your lives? What in your lives is so important that you have to rush so much? If you drive from Bridport to Beaminster (6 miles) ignoring all speed restrictions ata steady 60 mph it would take you 6 minutes. If you drive at 40 mph it will take you 9 minutes, save you a considerable amount of money on fuel and wear and tear on your car, prolong the life of your tyres, reduce your carbon foot print and give you time to take in some of the beautiful views. What do you do with the extra 3 minutes??
Ah but that was because I was doing an AVERAGE speed y’see bat, so in some places I was only doing 20!
better to be five minutes late..than twenty five years early?
YOU KNOW WHAT GETS MY GOAT? Cliches, Offal, Condescension, Knowalls, Humorists, Earache, Asda, Drivel and Shitehawks. …seven days late, blah blah blah…
Carlito’s Way?
…Lists, Irritants, Kelp, Earwigs, Twiglets, Underpants, Zealots, Operas…yep, think thats all of them, nuff said.
Tuzo, aside from your embarrasing use of a government speeding campaign slogan. What exactly are you doing putting a question mark at the end of it? Are you raising the point for a debate? Twenty Five years early for what? Death? Death is one of the only things in life that happens bang-on-time, every time. If it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go.
where you embarrassed that i repeated a previously used phrase carlito?How wonderful for you, i love being embarrassed, its quite exhilarating, unfortunately i dont get the chance to often though. i suppose of course it does mean death… however we can lessen the risks? dont drop hairdryers in the bath,avoid swimming in rough seas with sharks etc we can comfort ourselves we shall never actually die from boredom, although sometimes it would be a mercy!
yeah, think i hear the bells a tolling now!!! –could be the bat of course. Hey Carlito? if turgid and vacuous comments are annoying you,?, try relaxing by making up acronyms to entertain yourself!?… works for me?
Hey…Shagsack. Twiglets are great… esp if yr sufferin grom Alcohol overload…. Kelp’s alright too.. full of iron.. And what’ve you got against underpants….. You go Commando style mister..? No don’t tell me….. I love underpants…. esp when…. nah maybe not on here… Tuzo.. what’s wrong matey..?
Ed: how does Tuzo manage to reply to my commments before they are published? Both my latest comment and Tuzo’s were published simultaneously!
nothings wrong (g.m.p.) but thanks for asking.. you ok? and carlito i disagree, have just looked at a picture of the Tuzo bantam, and it looked rather splendid,it was a cock, maybe the hens are what you were looking at? they tend to be less fancy.
Hey Tuzo, Glad to hear you’re ok Mister… Cool… I’ve lost th thread a tad with all this Cock & Hen stuff…. Hey Tuzo I’m wonderin which is yr regular Watering hole in town….. I’m up for gettin pissed as stick of Rhubarb tonite….. I wonder if I’ll bump into any of you guys out there in th mayhem that is Bridders on a Friday night……
Gull Munchin Polecat… yeah twiglets arent so bad, or kelp…and i don’t really mind asda. The rest (including PANTS) allude to a certain cock in our midst…(as does the underlying acronym!)…(22 & 23)…first things that popped into my head, y’know
Shagshack you’re truly one Dude to have a few sherbets with…..! Get some home brew brewed and I’ll see yer at wassisname’s Bar Cellar when he fixes th date…
We need to club together and buy the old Divvies quick! It would make an excellent tit bar. Although I fear there may be a shortage of willing local lasses up for the job, and a number of angry boyfriends queuing to get in and trash the place. It might be worth all of the hassle just to have it open for that first glorious night!
Spot on Rustic…. All of a sudden you find yerself in ‘The Archive’……. Gets My Goat ain’t even listed on th homepage anymore…
“”””GETS MY GOAT”””” is Just another thread under the “”””…AND ANOTHER THING “””” Catagory, as we get new articles the old ones get pushed down the “”””LATEST”””” list, if there’s something that really gets your goat you can send it to me for publication and comment. Or I could start another thread “”””…IN MY DAY…”””” or “”””SOME PEOPLE…”””” Suggestions?
you’re right Rustic, and i’m glad you’ve returned in the mood for a ruck! …maybe your “”””WANT SOME!?”””” should be the new link, wotcha think ed?? —and who’s got a big garden out there where we can all get together and guess who’s who? over many, many ales? …its a tad warm for the indoors in june eh
Nothing what so ever happened to me today that would upset me and have me reaching for the keyboard to hand out some keybopard bovver. Not a single bloody thing could manage to wipe the rather inane grin of the content that I have been wearing all day. Come on you bunch of sad sacks this is just not good enough, in fact, the fact nothing has “”””got my goat”””” all day is starting to get my goat.
Imagine what its going to be like when the ooaargh brigade, get all the surrounding roads of Bridport restricted to 20 m.p.h. !! Nose to tail traffic from all direction’s, and screams for pedestrian crossings to be put in every 300 yards.
