JPW Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Riding the N train home yesterday and hearing the conductor apologizing for the 8-minute delay in the schedule, caused by "rowdy youths" in Brooklyn. "Youths" or "Utes"? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vanessa Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 In our case they put up the signs the day after we parked (sunday) - hence the 2 tickets -- because according to the prior parking regs the car didn't need to be moved until Tuesday. To bolster our case, we requested work orders from the Dept. of Transportation. I've beaten the one other ticket I received years ago. In that case the real challenge was getting the fine reimbursed. You can't reimbursed unless you have proof of paying the fine. But you can't get a hearing unless you pay the fine first. Therefore, if they overturn the ticket based on the hearing, shouldn't it be obvious you paid the fine? Maybe, in these days of digital cameras, car-owners should just make a habit of taking a photo when they park their car in NY in case of eventualities. v Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Youths" or "Utes"? Thanks I think it's spelled, "Yoots." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pim Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 A blogger's nightmarish scenarios: Boss reads blog. Ex-boyfriends/girlfriends read blog. Mother reads blog. ...and.... Current boyfriend/girlfriend's ex reads blog. There may be more, I just don't want to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tanabutler Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Well, now, someone suggested I edit this, and I did and now you see. How surreal is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clb Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Watching recorded TV last night - first the Cover Lines programme on the London Review of Books, then (the shame) the 100 Best Albums thing on C4. Observations: 1. Dusty Springfield's manager, Vicki Wickham, sounded as if she were in the wrong programme. A born LRB contributor. 2. When did Malcolm McLaren become Brian Sewell? clb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
