Come on, own up.... who was responsible for playing giant billiards and knocking down our famous two-tear traffic lights? And before anybody asked; it wasn't me; I know I can do a lot of damage on my bike.... BUT THAT!

A bright red MK3 Astra did it sometime before 18:40. The driver looked very sheepish as she stood at the side of the pole. Took out the rest of the lights Northbound on the A339/London junction and A339 Southbound/A4.

Mr TVP Traffic man did not look too happy.

Posted by: GMR Jun 28 2009, 10:40 AM

She must have been going fast to cause that sort of damage.

Posted by: Darren Jun 28 2009, 12:47 PM

Front end will need more than a bit of T-cut.

I'm just waiting for the headline "Car written off by badly signed traffic light" "last time I'm coming to Newbury complains aggrieved driver"

Posted by: GMR Jun 28 2009, 01:32 PM

Unless they already live in Newbury.

Posted by: Biker1 Jun 28 2009, 04:41 PM

This "dangerous traffic lights" thread could go on for 16 pages.

Don't tell me - lapse of concentration, following a bus through and they "rose up" under the car.!!!

Posted by: Bill1 Jun 28 2009, 04:57 PM

"Applause!"

Posted by: GMR Jun 28 2009, 05:45 PM

Maybe it was an act of God; he didn't like it so when he was driving through Newbury he removed it by getting another car crash into it.

Posted by: Good Boy Racer Jun 29 2009, 08:57 AM

It was actualy a Male, not a She because i saw him standing there after the crash on his mobile phone as i drove by. He didnt have much hair either.
I wonder if he will have to pay for that light... oh deer

Posted by: Gumbo Jun 29 2009, 09:16 AM

You saying there was also an animal involved?!?!

Posted by: GMR Jun 29 2009, 09:47 AM

He probably was on his way to a stag night

Posted by: Good Boy Racer Jun 29 2009, 09:54 AM

Or he was just pointlessly cruising around...

Posted by: AmieB Jun 29 2009, 10:32 AM

I saw him stood there too - looking very embarrassed. How on earth did he manage to hit it?!

Posted by: Good Boy Racer Jun 29 2009, 10:51 AM

Bad boy racer... driving too fast, showing off, that kind of thing

Posted by: AmieB Jun 29 2009, 11:29 AM

Posted by: GMR Jun 29 2009, 06:34 PM

I went past there today and it is still bent over. Obviously they are not in a hurry to put it right.

Posted by: dannyboy Jun 29 2009, 09:35 PM

Traffic lifghts like that are not an 'off the peg' purchase.

Posted by: GMR Jun 29 2009, 09:50 PM

double traffic light ones... I suppose not

Posted by: Strafin Jun 30 2009, 10:13 AM

Plus they will need to get the "green light" from the budget department....

Posted by: Good Boy Racer Jun 30 2009, 11:58 AM

That's because he hasn't payed for it yet

Posted by: GMR Jun 30 2009, 12:08 PM

If he ever does

Posted by: Good Boy Racer Jul 2 2009, 02:13 PM

I know the full story of this so called 'accident' but im not allowed to say. However i would just like to say its still down

Posted by: GMR Jul 2 2009, 02:31 PM

Yes, I've been passed it.

Posted by: dannyboy Jul 2 2009, 04:12 PM

If you use allegedly a few times you can say whatever you like.

such as "allegedly it was Good Boy Racer who crashed into the traffic light".

Posted by: Good Boy Racer Jul 3 2009, 09:14 AM

I could do but i wont. Anyways, they have fixed it now, saw them working on it last night quite late in the evening.

Posted by: GMR Jul 3 2009, 02:32 PM

As Good boy Racer said; "They've fixed it."

It's amazing what you can do by a touch of a mobile phone *cough*

Excellent! Now i will be able to know if i'm about to go through a red or not...

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 3 2009, 08:13 PM

Posted by: GMR Jul 3 2009, 08:19 PM

I think he means "rot in hell"

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 3 2009, 08:33 PM

No

Like this hell.

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 3 2009, 08:35 PM

nicster09 you edited your **** up that's not fair

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 3 2009, 08:36 PM

Oh look you cant use cock either.


Hope there aren't any stories about male chickens in the near future.

Posted by: GMR Jul 3 2009, 08:38 PM

What is a male chicken?

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 3 2009, 08:40 PM

A cock as opposed to a hen.

Posted by: Iommi Jul 3 2009, 08:41 PM

Gordon Brown.

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 3 2009, 08:43 PM

Texture like sun......

Posted by: GMR Jul 3 2009, 08:46 PM

You mean because they are both cockerels?

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 3 2009, 09:34 PM

Never a frown with........

Posted by: GMR Jul 3 2009, 09:39 PM

Because they gobble?

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 10:43 AM

Your just not getting the Gordon Brown/Golden Brown joke are you?

Posted by: JeffG Jul 4 2009, 10:54 AM

Nope. You can add another one to the list

Posted by: Iommi Jul 4 2009, 11:13 AM

For those that need help...

Posted by: GMR Jul 4 2009, 11:39 AM

Yes, I was just trying to throw a joke of my own in.

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 12:07 PM

Sorry you'll have to explain that one GMR.

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 12:09 PM

In more ways than one

Posted by: GMR Jul 4 2009, 12:13 PM

Didn't this all start of on the lines about cockerels?

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 12:21 PM

Cockerels? I thought that was turkeys?????

Posted by: GMR Jul 4 2009, 12:46 PM

Of course its turkeys. Unless somebody crossed a turkey with a chicken and got something else.

Posted by: JeffG Jul 4 2009, 04:32 PM

Well thank you. Where did you dig that up? Watched about half of it. Pretty crap singer IMO.

Posted by: Iommi Jul 4 2009, 05:17 PM

I just guessed that someone might do this. It's a standard joke and Youtube can be like Google; just throw in random words with a theoretical connection and you can sometimes get a hit.

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 05:26 PM

I crossed a turkey with a waitress in a cafe.

Posted by: GMR Jul 4 2009, 06:45 PM

Don't tell me, you got stuffing?

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 08:03 PM

Nope!

Posted by: JeffG Jul 4 2009, 08:13 PM

Ah right! So standard, I'm still wondering... I think maybe we got the punch line without the joke part

Posted by: GMR Jul 4 2009, 08:13 PM

Then what?

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 08:21 PM

A goblin teasmaid.

Posted by: GMR Jul 4 2009, 08:44 PM

it had to be, didn't it!

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 4 2009, 08:48 PM

Cheaper than they used to be I've heard.

Posted by: GMR Jul 4 2009, 09:13 PM

So I hear.

Posted by: Iommi Jul 5 2009, 12:55 AM

When you two are quite finished; I'm trying t' get some sleep!

Posted by: Iommi Jul 5 2009, 01:00 AM

I bet you're fun at dinner parties!

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 5 2009, 09:46 AM

I should think so too!

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 5 2009, 09:47 AM

Posted by: JeffG Jul 5 2009, 10:39 AM

Yep. I get so many invites, I have to turn most of them down.

I Googled it and came up with a song by the Stranglers. Do I hear the applause?

Posted by: Bill1 Jul 5 2009, 12:21 PM

Dont know how old/young you are JeffG, but it is a VERY famous song.
