Great night out, probably just as well the pub closed when it did or I might not have made it to work this morning. The blast to the pub with jcgarcia and the polish pirates was a hoot. And the lost keys episode was hilarious, glad coat-hangar and a piece of string worked.
My two pennies on the CM, I like the basic idea of it, I enjoyed being on the ride (tho a bit faster would be nice), I just think it reinforces the them and us between drivers and cyclists. The taxi driver I was blocking in was furious (but to be fair not aggressive), his line was "I've never had a problem with bikes on the road but now I'm changing my mind". Got to wonder if he gets as pissed off when it's the regular car traffic jams that hold him up. His passenger I had no sympathy for tho, the fat cunt started whinging about who was going to pay the 2 pounds we were costing him, felt like tossing him a quid and telling him if he was that tight he should get his lardy arse onto a bus, but I can never carry off stuff like that.
