I feared for Teddy's life at Theobald's road when we got halted. Shite.
Good to meet you cliveo.
What was with the man shoving some young lad at Russell Sq? anyone? (think I saw one or two of these lads at polo yesterday) He seemed like your classic suit-with-bee-in-bonnet (and snivelling c*nt he was too). I had to defend their honour as this old dear (who said she had survived a collision with an HGV where a friend was killed) banging on at me about riding on pavements RLJ and kids being abusive. grrr. I left her with a slightly better attitude.
Personally I thought it was a bit messy and annoying. I don't go on the mass to hold traffic up (and my bike over my head) so Oxford St and Picadilly just seemed stoopid places to be riding. Maybe not. I just wish it would actually GO somehwere for once. Then again I was a bit ill so that might account for my being moody. Yep I found lotsa early splitters at the JS, can't have been as early as 8 though.
As I was ill I really shouldn't have blasted round the Isle of Dogs, a bit pissed, at midnight with picco. But It sure as hell was more fun than dawdling around waving my bike in the air and shit.
