He was first and signed it with an enormous elaborate signature It's always been presumed he signed it first, but nobody actually knows iirc. The term comes from the fact his signature is striking, as its massive elaborate and easy to read. It's basically the most striking part of one of the most important and famous documents in history.

Never, and I have never seen one that doesn't have it's arse scraping along the road. It's either some obese middle aged man or 23 spotty teenagers crammed in.

BOF Posted June 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2017 The Nissan Micra serves a very important purpose on public roads. Its presence immediately alerts you to a bad driver, so you can proactively give them extra room. Without the Micra, that person would be in something less conspicuous and you might only learn about their special requirements when it's too late ! I always found the Citroen AX served a similar purpose when it was alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are roomy though. The ones I see seem to have about 8 people in them. Multiple generations of the same family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because they're so slow there's time to raise a family before you get to where you're going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted June 8, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2017 This pondering could have gone in any number of the current terror-related threads but having just seen on the BBC news site that three more people have been arrested in connection with the London Bridge / Borough Market incident, I have to wonder how viable these arrests are. It's front page news every time there are arrests and then a few days later we hear a whisper that all arrested have been released without charge. So I wonder how many of these post-incident arrests ever actually go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police (mostly) aren't looking to arrest people for wrongdoing, but to sweat them for information in interrogation, especially anything that would reveal a network. It also helpfully breeds distrust amongst cell members if they know that some of them have spent a night or two under heavy questioning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
