This morning's commute and other commuting stories

It's not supposed to 'deter terrorism' as a concept. It's just supposed to protect King's Parade specifically, which to be fair is a prime target if anyone wanted to attack Cambridge with a lorry: straight road, usually an insane number of tourists and locals all over the road, there would definitely be quite a few dead, right in the heart of old Cambridge. That being said, it's not like this is the only road in Cambridge that could be a target.

I mean, in that case, can we get the whole fucking M25 caged off from these fuckers?

Thanks, I hadn't seen that yet.

Interesting that TfL refer you to a MySociety site.

I think I prefer fillthathole

Frankly, I'd just call @BringMeMyFix.

But when a driver "blacks out" and kills a bunch of people... even though he knew of his black out problems... no charges and oh he's fucking at it again... https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/31/glasgow-bin-lorry-death-crash-driver-avoids-jail-for-new-incident

There's more of these pricks around than terrorist drivers.

Is it?

I have no idea what that means.

Who smelled it dealt it

MySociety are the outfit who've made sites like TheyWorkforYou or WhatDoTheyKnow, which probably generate a fair amount of extra work for public authorities.

I find it unusual for TfL to be directing people to one of their sites.

Done.
Maybe i'll get passed on to thames water lol:

I just reported a sunken drain at Shepherds Bush. There's a much worse one somewhere in Acton but I need to scope the street name so I can give them an accurate location.

Of course there are, I'm not saying this is a particularly rational fear, or a rational decision by the council. Believe me, if I got my way with how Cambridge traffic works, things would look quite different.

What? Oh nothing.

This weather can fuck itself into a cocked hat, along with the left hooking Golf driver, the crank bolt that worked loose and the knackered pedal. Hurrrggg.
But I did see the Barn Owl this morning, so that’s nice.

Heh, sorry for the pointless summons. You're missed around here, though.

Cool survey from Portland Uni

so it's apparently more tedious being a passenger in a commuting car than a driver.

I don’t have anything to contribute, but hello and I hope all is well with yourself and the rest of the online community (except @hippy, the fat fuck).

Do a skid!

I had the most constant, vicious headwind I can remember for 20 miles. I'm sitting in work shell shocked.

pls send hlp

My physio warned me off using the drops for a while... has he seen the weather lately!?
