I think the recently employed crewman who locked the cabin doors knew what was going on.

Not quite. His co-accused was out running when hit by a car so not really a crash. Local dibble say there's nothing suspicious about the accident. (So they probably topped him in A&E or in the fake ambulance with the CIA guys in).

It is also quite difficult to fake / arrange a tornado to sink a big fuck off boat. Just seems to be bad luckCount Steer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2024 8:27 pmNot quite.

We've been so conditioned by the obvious mishandled assassinations we now dismiss the real ones.

Re: In todays news...
This made me giggle at first. Then got me thinking.
I've done a fair bit of camera-bike filming of triathlons and Ironmans. But they were on closed roads where laws don't apply.
Does this to these cycle races?
E.G. did the Manchester triathlon world championship event in about 1993.
The roads were closed and we were told to ignore traffic lights, road markings and speed limits.

Surprised they can't wangle a temporary traffic restriction order (TTRO) to suit.
It's what the roadworks planners do when they want a different limit.

If they did that to raise a limit they would have to admit the limit doesn't affect safety.

They need to close the road or cyclists will have to obey traffic lights and stop signs etc

Re: In todays news...
The cancellations are because the support vehicles would be speeding but you raise a good point, if they can ignore all other restrictions then why is this different?

Re: In todays news...
It seems that the ramifications of the blanket Welsh 20mph speed limit weren't thought through in advance, as this farcical episode proves. And the authorities can't be seen to back-track on the limit for fear of looking really, really foolish.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.
