And all this has reminded me of a old and slightly shabby Roller I saw
the other day, on the road, with quite a young driver at the wheel.

I didn't recognise it - huge great beast it was, mind. I think it was
one of these (looked roughly like that, anyway):

(don't think it was one of these, but:)

My father was for a few years the proud owner of a 20/25 as an expensive
hobby. Lovely ride, but it drank petrol like there was no tommorrow.

Damn. Hmm. Slashing his tyres isn't really your style, is it? Oh well
- probably best not to sabotage his car at all then, really.

I have no reason to want to immobilise any CPN - but I don't worry about
putting them on slow wheels.

I've never had dealings with any sort of psychiatric nurse which have
left me thinking that they're anything other than a threat to my safety.

They aren't all like that, really they aren't.
