So why not close it off completely ! It's not the junction that is dangerous it's the drivers. All traffic would have to enter the town from the Groves roundabout, might cause a few problems in South Street, but who cares about that anyway.. Then the boy racers could have fun going up and down the by-pass and we could all watch from the bridge at Skilling Hill. Sort of like a Bridport Le mans .. now there's a thought.

you seem to be so blinded (carlito) by your dislike of me, that everything i say is picked apart in your attempt to render it pointless.. this is tedious. if the management of any place intend to keep the tips, this should be made known to the public, which is what i have done by telling you. The staff at Taj Mahal are paid 3.20 an hour, work it out for yourself. you might like to think of me as your ""punchbag"" carlito, but i assure you I am very far from that, and will continue to use the language in the way i choose, so get used to it!!

Dearest Sprockley It is astounding that you have failed to see the benefits of a real-life portable penis. Surely all you now require is someone to come over and mow your lawn, and you can be rid of the useless end of your husband for good. Nevertheless, if the consuming, defecating and exploitative half of your man does still hold some value in your ""relationship"" we must devise a way to permanetly reattach the offending limb and shrink it considerably. However, this may not be possible. I have come across this particular phenomenon in the past. It roots itself in the myths of Fallustein's Monster. Dr Fallustein, once hailed for the creation of the first independent fallus was chased from his town in Carpathia, never to be seen again. I was under the distinct impression that his ugly dimise came one terrible night, as he was attacked in his sleep by his own creation, forcing itself into his throat and filling his stomach with a venomous fluid. The fact is, Sprockley, you may well be in grave danger of death from the promiscuous acts of Fallustein's Monster. You may only be able to stop this beast by satiating it's hunger for penetration. However, you MUST force it's withdrawal before the venom is released to avoid any permanent damage. Good luck Sprockley. You'll need it. NEXT! Dr. Malicious

Tuzo - WHY must I constantly be correcting your infantile grammar skills? Oxymoron: A paradox usually reduced to two words, in an adjective-noun (""eloquent silence"") or adverb-adjective (""inertly strong"") relationship, and is used for effect, to emphasize contrasts, incongruities, hypocrisy, or simply the complex nature of reality. Examples: wise fool, ignorantly learned, laughing sadness, pious hate. YES - Rabid is an adjective and Smackhead is a noun. BUT! Rabid in it's literal sense means ""suffering from Rabies"" but I was using it in a metaphorical sense (obviously you are having a problem understanding) in that they are ""suffering"" widly from some kind of addiction. In THAT sense there is no paradox and YOU, Tuzo are beyond help. I really don't know... ...you infuriate me!

we already established our paper reading preferences in earlier post(rosieo6) sure i go to skilling, you have probably spoken to me, i speak to most people. the word rabid (which has carlito all flutter,flickering through his dictionary, and congratulating himself on his accuracy) is the word I took exception to. It just does not fit, drooling at the mouth,staring eyes,morbid fear of water etc is my understanding of rabid. (dont read this carlito, take a rest)

Ed please bang these guys heads together it's spoiling the site by watering down the debate. There are plenty of chat rooms out there for this sort of bun fight. Keep it relevant (like this is...not)! Gets off soap box. Prepares for abuse.

You know you are right Goccibos, it is because people think that bitching at strangers makes them big and clever - c'mon people there are actually real issues and real humour on this site besides correcting usage of the English language. ______________________________ DANGER JUNCTION -Is dangerous because of bad drivers AND/OR because the Highways agency made a junction that functions like no other.... ? Should it be changed? ...Should there be a roundabout? ...what do you think about it?
Posted by tuzo, on 03-08-2007 13:00,
why? ( C 27.)

Seems like a most excellent idea to me. I have heard of this format used in neighbourhoods in other parts of the country and it works very well. I think it will work well in Bridders if PC McGregor and the police community support officers are involved. What other authorities are involved besides the police?

Yes, the Miles Cross junction isn't dangerous per se... until you send cars towards it. It's one of the most misleading and ill-laid out T-junctions I know. It's OK for those of us who use it regularly, we know it and can compensate for its unusual layout, but for people using it for the first time it is - literally - a death trap. Consider: 1) out of B3162 West Road onto A35, turning left: oh good, there's a nice slip road onto the dual carriageway, I'll just accelerate (screeeeeech) oh whoops it's only 5 yards long. 2) on the A35 heading West, I want to turn right into West Road. Nothing coming, I won't need to stop (screeeeeeech) crikey, didn't see that motorbike / open car because the central crash barrier partly hid it from view. 3) coming from Chideock and using the filter lane to go left into West Road, I can see someone else coming the other way on the A35 who is also preparing to enter West Road. Never mind, he'll stop, there are give-way white lines painted across his path (screeeeeeech) oh look there are some painted across mine too. I could go on... but I have. Drive safe.
