And another complete and utter FUCKWIT of the highest order did it again
last night, pissing down rain, he fishtailed his V8 Holden down the road,
and missed the bend at the low end of the street, and hit the pole. 
Estimated speed was around 80kph.  The cunt had us without power for nearly
an hour too.  Didn't check it out, but if he wasn't wearing his seat belt,
he's probably dead (one can hope).  :)

So do I now.  Twice in 10 days.  Fucking unbelievable.  :(

Good!  I just hope they didn't take any innocents with them, that's all.

Like the young fellow at Logan Village yesterday, who "borrowed"
his father's 4WD.  Just 14 years old, he stuck his younger brother in the
seat next to him, and his 2 year old brother in the back, and took off down
the road.  Flipped the 4WD end to end, brother went through the windscreen,
and he ended up with severe internal injuries and a broken femur.  Funny
thing is that the police are CONSIDERING charges!  Bloody hell, I'd lock
the bastard up and throw away the fucking key.

RB> I would see these idiots hoon past then half an hour later see the
RB> cops & Ambulance hoon past.

Must have really made your day then.  :)

RB> My customers would get up me for having NO SYMPATHY when they talked
RB> to me about these kids dying.

Good thing they didn't talk to me then.

BG> Presumably this is the same god who purportedly made cats to
BG> start with? :)

RB> Yes, but I think he has seen the error of his ways, now and has put
RB> you in charge of the culling program.

Funny, I could have sworn that I decided to kill all cats on sight myself...
