I mean seriously how dump is she. Did she not use her eyes to look around her surrounding.
And why is she so orange looking? As far as i know there are black people, brown people and white people...........pardon my ignorance but where are orange people from?
Dale Winton, David Dickinson and Simon Jordan are famous prototypes.

I looked this place up on a map. Unless her boyfriend actually lives down that road, I don't understand why the SatNav sent her down there.

Ask yourself who gave her the Navigation System...

Really. Her boyfriend should dump her for being a stupid dopey cow.
I use sat-nav all day, every day when I am drivnig and there are a lot of time when it sends me to places that are wrong or not possible due to the size of the lorry (low bridges, weight restrictions etc). But you cope with this by watching the roads and reading the signs!
Argh. I'd still shag her though. But it would be rough sex to treat her a lesson.

I am stunned....surely the gates would have had large signs saying "Warning ! s0dding great big scary trains coming this way" on them....jeeze what a numpty.
And let's suppose she missed them.....did the effing great steel rails not give her a clue that she was in dangerous territory ?
Sat-Nav is an excellent tool, but it is no excuse to abdicate commonsense and situational awareness...providing she had these qualities in the first place, which by all accounts she did not.
But some people...once they have Sat-Nav, they turn their single brain cells off and wait to be instructed on every step of the journey, in the mistaken belief that their Sat-Nav will see them alright.
Hmmm....I wonder if we can convince Tom-Tom to make a "Turn Now" at Beachy Head version for the Chavs.....

These crossings are normally in rural areas. Some are for vehicles and some are for pedestrians only.
I live in Cornwall and there are hundreds. The pedestrian ones normally have a plate stating look and listen for trains.
Normally, if a train is coming and you are near to the line, the tracks will sing. If you hear the singing, you have seconds to get out of the way.
I was part of a PWAY gang and we went out packing sleepers, attending bridge strikes and generally clearing the crap from the other gangs who were too lazy to pick up there own rubbish.
We did once have a job to pack ballast under sleepers at St. Ives Station. I think we annoyed the local hoteliers when we started using jack hammers at 11pm right outside their windows. Good job we couldn't hear what they were saying!

Originally posted by xoggothA while back I found myself in crawling traffic due to a race event, looked up and saw there was rail barrier on a line with the middle of my bonnet, traffic ahead and behind and nowhere to go. Scary. So pissed off with the traffic I hadn't noticed the sodding level crossing.
That posting was completely incomprehensible!

For those of you that don't know, this is the correct sequence, whether you are horse riding or driving.
- At the gate stop
- Contact the signaller
- If you don't get the all clear, wait until you do so.
- Open the gate on your side.
- Walk across the line, quickly but do not run, and open the gate the far side.
- Go back to your vehicle/horse and cross quickly
- Park up and go and close the first gate
- Cross back and close the second gate
- Contact the signaller to give the all-clear
How many of these manual crossings are there around? I've never seen one.
