What a fucking couple of days.
Brixton road is a bit sprinty isn't it?
Last night at Kennington Station someone decided to go back the way they came on the pelican crossing, to have a discussion with a moped rider. The light was green in my direction. Just stood in the road, I was stopped trying to talk/shout at him and he was blankly ignoring me to talk at the moped rider. Fuck me.
This morning.
Wells Park Road (water works happening at last. Traffic controlled by lights). Over take a bus that was taking on passengers, move onto other side of road. Green light for them. Car starts coming down the hill. No probs, I'll make it past this bus, it's only a metre or so. I'm clearly past halfway of the bus, I can see the driver in his mirror. I'm on his fucking shoulder. That's how nearly past the bus I am.
WHAT THE FUCK. BUS STARTS MOVING OFF and undertakes. I have to keep going into oncoming traffic. Which stops. Then nip back in and I proceed to ride really fucking slowly as it's on the steepest part. Sigh.
Then commute starts properly. Lovely College Road. Lovely Sunray Ave. Lovely Denmark Hill
WTF ARE YOU DOING? IT'S CLEARLY NOT GREEN FOR YOU YOU SLOW MOVING PEDESTRIAN FUCK.
Runs out but then has nipples pointed at floor, isn't moving quick enough.
I avoid crashing.
Stop.
Turn around.
And really fucking shout at this young student type.
Move off.. Then this cunt in a cunty car in the bus lane (stopped) just pulls out because someone "let him in".
Cue:
"WHAT IS THIS? NATIONAL FUCKING CUNTS DAY??"
