No, nobody should be restricted from parking anywhere, but the streets should be big enough. Where I park in the town centre blocks a bus, I find it amusing watching him try not to scratch my car, or more likely his bus.

Just how much weight would it take to stop a vehicle moving? The tyres would burst before that weight.

No, this is a simple five quid thing. You leave it above your head, like the fixed ones you get in changing rooms.

What damage? She busted a few cabbages in the field, we didn't tell the farmer.

There must have been a reason for that name.

Exactly, no point in trying to do what will never happen.

Out of 65 million.

I don't buy Miley Cyrus tickets on the off chance she'll fuck me.
