The guy falling off his "knee walker" scooter is Humza Yousef, Health Minister of Scotland. He represents a region of Glasgow. Seriously, ye Glaswegian bastids, could you fuckers not find anyone better than this numpty to represent you?
But what do you expect from a party that wants Scotland to leave the UK (um, okay, I guess) and then go submit to the European Union. THAT's your idea of Scottish "independence"?!! Scrotes.
The guy in #8 is Scottish politician Hamza Yousef a rather unpleasant fellow by all accounts. People have been sharing that clip with glee. Elsewhere I have commented that it was a rather low quality pratfall compared to the ones that are posted here. I posted the one of the girl walking face first into a sprinkler as an example.
#3 It looks as though there are lights on gantries above the road, presumably to indicate that there is a train approaching. Are the drivers of the cars unaware of what the lights mean or just really inattentive?
If you re-watch the clip you will notice the lights don't turn on until the driver is just about at the crossing and the gate doesn't fully fall until the train has passed. Daryl
agreed! that looks to me like a standard USA rail crossing... lights and gates should have activated and fully lowered AT LEAST 4 seconds BEFORE the train reaches the crossing! With some prior railroad experience, i am now always a little nervous that a crossing gate failed and i'm about to get hit by a speeding train...
Reminds me of the company mooch from many years ago Every year at Easter time one guy would color a raw egg and leave it on the lunch room table for the mooch who would come along and grab the egg and attempt to crack it on the table sending egg shell and egg yolk everywhere
#3 They are single tracking...They are on the wrong track for travel (Tr2). There might be construction on the tracks so to keep trains moving they use the wrong lane. This train is going too fast for the approach for that direction. Metra in Chicago. Left that company in February.
#9 Dont try that with baby water moccasins
ReplyDelete#7....twice a day on the Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman bridges in Phila for the past 30 some years.
ReplyDeleteAlso the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It’s fascinating to watch.
DeleteAnd also in Dallas. (Or at least they did twelve years ago.)
DeleteYeah, they're called zipper trucks.
Delete#5 BURN THE HERETIC!!!

Is number 8 two Claimants on the way to court? Or a Richard cranium lawyer with his assistant carrying his crutches?

As far as I can tell, the gates lower across the train track NOT the road.
DeleteThe placement of the gates' post AFTER the track, from the point of view of the direction of traffic in the left of the scene, is telling.

Delete#8 Take off the stupid mask and your few brain cells you have left might work.
ReplyDeleteThis is why school buses are required to stop at all rail crossings.
ReplyDeleteAnd fuel tankers.
DeleteReminds me of the company mooch from many years ago

Ha! #1 have the same theme! Spot the hoe! Tee hee!
ReplyDelete#2 is an amazing demonstration of coordination, timing and courage
