Could we skip the amatuerish, parenthetical bullshit like "Not that it fits him right now" and just read objective reporting?

It'd have to be private - the waiting lists for humour by-passes are getting to be a joke.

Anyhow, can we skip the amateurish, bullshit commenting and get on with posting squirrel pics?

Apparently Mrs Ada Brady (85) clutched her pearls and nearly fainted clean away when a 12 year-old pulled a wheelie only 50 metres from where she was buying a copy of the Daily Mail...

Looks like this spot on the M5: https://goo.gl/maps/qbP7SnnuUbT2

Seems the roadworks haven't progressed much in a year and the photo is missing the 30mph temporary speed limit you can see on street view.

Ah, Viz top tips, haven't seen them for ages.  I wonder if they ever printed the one I sent them?  "Drivers, if you use spot lamps all the time when it's dark, try strapping a 14" fluorescent pink dildo to the top of your car so that we'll know in daylight too."

Sorry, when I first read the article about 'roundest wheels' I thought it was going to be about poor spelling and misplaced apostrophes.
