gunderhill Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 12 hours ago, TheHangingJudge said: Pole didn’t indicate Pole wasnt drunk, pole was paying attention, pole definitely wasnt gawking at its phone, pole had more brains/sense than the driver however pole probably was made with weak watery mix of concrete and dropped into a hole without the use of concrete, pole not liable not poles fault so in that way similar to the Thai driver. The pole rests its case M'lud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
