I was very disappointed to find that in $video_game that had a London
map in it I couldn't do doughnuts around the cenotaph in a routemaster.


Even less chance with a Borisbus, then. ;-)

Surely the war was fought just for that freedom?

Fraid it doesn't work like that. Try going at different speeds on a
known journey in traffic and see how your arrival times vary. Then try
the same journey but stopping all the time - e.g. for petrol etc. You'll
soon see what makes the real difference - not speed but time spent not
moving.


Whooooosh ... !

You may say that... but having been overtaken no less than three times
by the same police car (hence recognizable) in the space of ten miles on
a dual carriageway, then ending up right behind him on the same
off-ramp, I became convinced that speed (from say 45-75) matters little
in overall journey time, it only makes seconds of difference. Hence no
need to push the limits. I'm sure Jenson Button might well agree.


Whoosh again!

Don't you know what it means? I mean whoosh.

It's generally taken to mean you don't understand what's been posted.
i.e. its gone right over your head.

Use your imagination Marvin!

Life's bad enough as it is - why invent any more of it.

In particular, that you haven't understood the humour, or the irony,
or that you just didn't get it at all.

I'm fairly sure that at least one of my grandfathers would have
approved, if only on the grounds that it would require breaking
several of those laws of physics that, as an engineer, he would have
found so terribly inconvenient.
