One thing to be said for America, outside the big cities pedestrians have right of way at street corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so bad on a wee side road or that, but there is a dual carriageway in kirkcaldy that is a 40mph where people with cross where it just isn’t safe. I'll admit to being one of these people. I don't see the point in stopping all of the traffic for a red light when I can cross at a closer point, which is more convenient for both myself and the motorist (and the environment too I suppose). That said, I appreciate that there are people with next to no distance-time coordination who become 'rabbit in the headlights' types, and as a result will be a menace to drivers. FWIW, the scariest experience of my life was crossing a road in Egypt where they had no under/overpasses. The locals I were with said "walk in a straight line at a steady speed and you'll be fine. Don't, and you'll die". You'd see women carrying kids walking through motorway traffic with the cars just steering around them. I compare it to The Last Crusade where Indiana Jones has to step out into the canyon with his book telling him it'll be fine. Once, you've done that, crossing the A96 is a piece of piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, 'I think you're too fucking stupid to get what I'm trying to say, so I'm going to explain it to you slowly and in small words'. Get fucked cunto, particularly when you're trying to explain something I knew about/was doing before you were even born. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found an overpass in Cairo when confronted with this situation. Unfortunately it was 2 feet thick in fish heads and other equally uninviting stuff, they used it as a dump for the market.

It's was a Khao khao khao. - White rice mountain. Or if your ever go camping (ooh) here, you can always say Mai mai mai mai mai - New wood doesn't burn, does it? I don't expect people to believe this, but my partner's gran who was born and raised in rural Aberdeenshire came out with the classic "fit fit fits fit fit?" when she opened up a pair of slippers one Christmas morning . I'm absolutely convinced it was said deadly seriously with absolutely no hint of a joke. If it was, it was the only one she ever made. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
