b'There has been a lot of complaining about the money councils are obtaining from parking fines\\u2026.this has always been a bone of contention with us Brits\\u2026.personally I can\\u2019t see a problem\\u2026DON\\u2019T PARK ILLEGALLY !!...some people seem to think they are special and have some sort of \\u201cright\\u201d to park wherever they like with no consideration for anyone else\\u2026.I find the car parking charges a bit excessive in Birkenhead so I park outside the zone and walk in\\u2026no problem.\\n \\nOn the same subject high street shops are up in arms about the business they are losing because of double yellow lines outside their premises\\u2026SO there is a suggested move by the government to allow parking on them for a short time\\u2026.have you ever heard anything more ridiculous?...can you imagine the havoc this could cause\\u2026the yellow lines are there for a reason\\u2026namely to prevent gridlock and keep pedestrians safe\\u2026or have I got it wrong\\u2026and how can this possibly be successfully monitored?\\n \\nOn the subject of money collection there is a programme on the tele called \\u201cThe Sheriffs Are Coming\\u201d and it is about a firm of debt collectors who go round and get money from people who wont pay up.It is based around people who take firms to court and get a court order for money they are owed and when the firm doesn\\u2019t pay up the \\u201cSheriffs\\u201d are sent round\\u2026.and you would definitely not argue with these guys.If they don\\u2019t get the money they seize allsorts of stuff to the value\\u2026furniture,cars..the lot\\u2026.\\u2026\\u2026and great guys to stand behind if any trouble breaks out.\\n \\nWe watched a bit of Rod Stewart being interviewed\\u2026.and Don couldn\\u2019t take much of it\\u2026. "Rod is one of those blokes I can\\u2019t stand\\u2026he has that Robbie Williams factor\\u2026don\\u2019t know what it is I just can\\u2019t stand them\\u2026.he has an album out which he has written himself\\u2026the latest single from it is all about him\\u2026totally self indulgent\\u2026these blokes need a reality check\\u2026..\\u201dDo you think I\\u2019m sexy?\\u201d\\u2026.er\\u2026NO Rod\\u2026.I think you should call it a day!"\\n \\nThere was an article on the news about drunks at railway stations and on trains\\u2026and they showed a video of this plonker\\u2026totally out of the game\\u2026trying to go up the down escalator\\u2026.he was upside down trying to get on his feet\\u2026.I must say I found it quite funny and even funnier when a woman came down and when she reached him booted him off the staircase\\u2026and another moron tried to kick a pigeon and lost his balance and ended up falling off the platform on to the trainline\\u2026.all very entertaining but there should be a way of preventing these dopes from getting through the turnstiles in the first place\\u2026if we can get men on the moon (?) I think we can devise this.'
