Very zen commute (because apparently pedalling like a loon only gets me to work about 3 minutes faster than gentile cruising does, so why even bother) apart from being called a "fucking moron" by a teenage ruffian on a mtb who failed to yield to the 'give way' sign and so was forced to actually make contact with his handlebars in order to swerve around me.
1) I am beginning to suspect that I'm the only one who pays attention to these shouty triangles, as I have never actually witnessed anyone 'giving way'.
2) Is it normal to swear at a complete stranger for a totally innocuous non-incident? When did that happen? It makes me a bit sad that people are so stressed that minor interactions like this cause them so much rage. :(

You should report the motorbike rider to roadsafe.
Illegal number and apparently driving with an expired MOT.
MOT Expired: 28 June 2018

Yes, look at the size of the legal number plate on the moped next to them.

There are no guidelines on plate size. There are however guidelines on font size and spacing as well as font to edge border spacing. Yeah that's illegal.

Brifter broke. Single speed drag home in the biggest cogs. Much cadence, most spinny. Would not repeat.

Hair down this morning riding the Macho Man with rack luggage, wearing sunnies & civvies with hardly any traffic had me feeling like these guys:

It's almost as if LFGSS made the rules.

Why not ride to Guildford and get the train from there?

Used Q5 to get to St. Thomas's Hospital today.
The signage leaves a little to be desired- ended up on the big roundabout on the south side of Lambeth Bridge sharing the road with a big old lorry.

I rarely think of anything clever to say until afterwards, my immediate reaction unless I'm super tired is always a fucking torrent of fucking fucking fucking cunt shitfacedmotherfucking cunt you get the idea.
I'm the same on long conference calls

The mute button is my friend.

But how will they learn?

one of my favourite things ever was when the gobby alpha male twat on the helpdesk at my first programming job thought he'd muted his headset and told a very important but equally obnoxious client (who owned a recruitment agency to highlight the levels of douchery) that he was a "stupid fucking cunt".
watching his eyes widen and his chin drop as the client reacted to his words as his brain spun up to try to come up with a way out of it was pure joy to watch. somehow he kept his job, though to this day I have no idea why.

The follow up emails of course. :)

They used to do coke together.

"Ah, fair cop mate, I am a bit of a cunt."
-
• #23622
I do this but then forget to unmute and wonder why noone is listening to my opinion...

Such LOLs to pretend you still can't hear them even after they've unmuted to the point they drop and dial back in again. Often they'll say some interesting things if they think they can't be heard.
That and tending to my desktop dust farm are the only things that keep me motivated at work.

I'd need all the other people in on it though and we're now scattered all over the globe so I can't be arsed. Normally I'm the one staying on mute pretending I can't hear everyone else, chatting "audio problems" while trying to catch up on Eurosport.
Not sure about that, listened to a guy talk about completing the Transatlantic way on one, he really loves his brompton. That's two niches filled.
