Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Musuko....You're certainly one to spout all this politically correct bollocks, with your pedestal raised as high as you seem to be capable of, talking of the 'dangers' to children. First and foremost, any child who cannot see a 'speeding' motorcycle coming towards them at the gargantuan pace of 10mph is clearly both blind and deaf. I'm vaguely familiar with the type of bike Legless is referring to, they make loads of noise, and quite frankly, aren't well disguised. Child risk? Bare bloody minimum, thanks.
Now, my original point after my slight detraction. Let's review your own posts in a former QOTW, 'Political Correctness Gone Mad'. I'm sure most people are capable enough to click of their own accord, so they can read for themselves, but this is basically a flipover of your standing.
Gay nursery worker can't go tend to another child because of a Muslim employee alone inside. Fair enough, it's politically correct bollocks. Not like you're going to jump her and do the nasty, in any regard, gay or straight.
Baa baa pink sheep. 'Nuff said, methinks. Nail's rather easy to hit on the head there.
A youth rides a 'motorbike' on a pavement at 10mph, it's somehow a criminal offence and punishable with everything. Bugger off, I'm sorry, but I do faster speeds pulling my car into the driveway. Was he terrorising people? Going out of his way to cause a danger? Quite unlikely, I'd wager, not because it's Legless, and people on QOTW quite like his amusing anecdotes, but because most sensible people know how not to be an absolute arse, endangering people. This is a back-road, behind houses, where traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian) is minimal, not a main road. The police were quite entitled to stop him, but what would they really accomplish? Getting a dangerous driver off the road?
Ahem, I'm going to stop here. I'm starting to ramble.
I imagine you as the sort of jobsworthy fellow who reports people on yellow lines when they jump out for two minutes, and that's a sad, sad position to be in.
Unwind yourself, re-pin that social hand grenade you have, and as you so eloquently put, consider 'real' criminals. You know, the sort who actually go out and hurt someone, things to that nature.
Danke.
