I haven't forgotten!! I sent this to Claire to clear a while back but I guess she's too busy with other stuff right now, so I'll stick it up anyway.

Not the best one ever methinks but let's see what y'alls can come up with to raise a smile :lol: Let the funnies begin :D Usual rules apply, all cash incentives/bribes/offers/diamond stuffed rats greedily accepted :D

I feel like I have had as many jobs as vehicles in that scene! (Still couldn't find it on the site ... copyright unknown, so if anyone knows please contact me immediately!).

I can see how that can be 'solved' though ! The 2 cars that have left room would allow the cars that didn't to 'escape that way (depending what is to their right ... they may have to 'be allowed' to exit the wrong way to help the situation! ... then that frees up the left side and that gets everything going, although many may need to go alternative routes to 'escape'). Other blocks are clearly happening to the road to the left of frame so other areas may also need to be 'freed'.

I recall a London jam once and it took ages to clear, the traffic lights held everything up!

It looks to me like the tram that has caused the greatest solid problem, and all those that have also failed to leave a gaps for others to take their exits !

A prime example of selfish behaviour x 100 or so!

Quote from Edinburgh councillor ..... "The new tram system has completely removed conjestion from out streets"

There was a rumour in Edinburgh that a tourist had dropped a wallet containing a £5 note at the big roundabout!!

I've nothing against Edinburgh!! ... well not much :lol:

A BRAKE spokesman commended the government on its new "Zero speed = Zero accidents" policy.

Brake say, that the new 5MPH urban speed limit, will cut emissions to virtually zero!

Telford officials are pleased with their new Town Centre traffic scheme, saying..."We never doubted that running traffic two ways would improve traffic flow!" .....(Local issue on the agenda...;-) )....

I think that's a great one Zipps. I see Grabs is up to his usual sortie tactic. :lol:

"The car in front, behind, to the left and to the right is a Toyota".

"Locals hear Big Tone is in town". :)

"Locals hear Grabs is in town and try to get the heck out of there". (He he). :D

"Speed blamed for fatal accident of snail. A BRAKE spokesman said if they had the hand brake firmly on it was entirely preventable. It is the snail's right to listen to his iPod while crossing the road"

You know what upsets me about this true story? If only Sydney, the snail, had been taught the Snail Cross Code and hadn't been listening to 'Born Slippy'.... (Groan)

:coat:

Inspired by Graball's Kylie captions :bow:

After the County Down field debacle, Rihanna has chosen a new location to continue filming!

PC Dribble .... "But Sarge I was bursting, I had to go for a pee"

Half an hour after Simply Red had announced they'd be doing an impromptu concert that night, all the exits from the city were totally blocked.

Just arrived traffic officer to driver of white van on left ..... "Driving on the pavement eh? right .... you're nicked!"

"I don't believe it!....That bl@@dy speed camera's just flashed me!"

Husband to wife..."What do you mean, I need to leave a bigger gap from the guy in front?"

"I'll just drop you off when we get to the next corner!"

The problem with driving in this city isn't so much getting home it time for dinner, it's getting home before your MOT expires!

"Hah .... and you said always carrying camping equipment and food in the car all the time was really dumb!"

In order to celebrate the completion of their new city center traffic scheme, CAPITA organised a staff treasure hunt.
The winner gets a free parking space for the next 12 months.

CAPITA admit that the new traffic system was actually a ring on the map caused when a member of the planning team put is coffee mug down on a junction!

"We'll just have to eat the kippers and cheese now, we're not gonna get home before the use by dates"
