Pretty much like Gloucestershire speak then. My Dads family originate from the Forest of Dean and when they have had a drink I cannot understand a word of what they say.
Totally, I took her back to the village of her birth a few years before she died, a couple of hours in the pub (where she knew everyone despite not having been back for 20 years) and I couldn't understand a word.

Jesus, you kept that quiet.
Not really! I spoke about half my dad ashes going to Coleford/Lydney on the radio interview with Mark O'Donnell when his other half were put under the goalmouth at the Town End. 3/4 of my Grandparents were foresters, the other 1/4 were from the depths of Wiltshire! so not all bad

Going by his profile picture he likes motorbikes. Given how they generally behave on our roads it's hardly a surprise he's a monumental bell end on here.
Oi. Motorcyclist lives matter.

Oi.
Motorcyclist lives matter.
I was being obtuse really as clearly generalisations are silly of course. That said, we live on a relatively busy straight road which people in supercars and motorbikes seem to use as a drag strip. One time there were 2 bikers who decided to have an 'accelerate and wheelie' competition up the street. I'm going to sound like an old man, but there are families who walk up and down the road and it just takes one bit of carelessness and you have dead toddlers. Another time a bike had accelerated so fast that he left it too late to stop at the red light that had changed at an intersection. Had he been literally 1 or 2 seconds later he would have driven right into the side of a bus. Is it worth it for the adrenalin rush? I am fully aware that there are bikers that do heed road rules and are generous to other road users, but unfortunately its the mindless ones that stick in the memory banks.

Very acceptable level seeing as we won the league - Stevenage spent more. Money well spent at Bradford!
As long as ours have all been disclosed! Exeter's Is surprising considering they don't really buy any players

As you say, a couple of dickheads do not represent the motorcycling community as a whole.

Yet you will find that they do by driving like dickheads, we call them organ donors down here, so at least they are fulfilling a role in society.
