not sure if this has been posted before but some mp is calling for a new law on causing death by dangerous cycling

very odd considering that HGV kill more cyclists than cyclists to peds.

There must've been like two peds death cause by cyclists in a decade.

Think of the children, Ed.

Interesting piece about who actually creates the value of a site.

This swan loves a tractor!

Swan spends too much time around machinery, hilarity ensues.

Interesting piece about who actually creates the value of a site.

"Huffington bloggers have essentially been turned into modern day slaves on Arianna Huffington's plantation"

He's got the hyperbole and righteous indignation of a professional blogger down pat. Old Simon Legree, forcing poor bloggers to pound keyboards, day and night to create drivel on Huff Po.

It shouldn't be legal.

Yeh, he's not helped his own argument with that analogy. But the question about who should profit from others', unpaid and voluntary, contributions is an interesting one all the same.

^soho is no place for the gays

Id expect better from the snow, that's outrageous.

it is appalling. I never liked that pub anyways. small pokey little place (barring the labrynth like upstairs) made even worse by those poxy dividers making it even harder to find a space at the bar. impossible to get served, nowhere to stand once you finally are and seemingly patronised by 90% ignorant cnuts.

the glasshouse stores round the corner was always my preferred sam smiths when I worked in the area.

I guess my browsing history was due for a clear anyway...

Pub gaylord

Police are investigating whether he was speeding when he lost control of the car on the 50mph road.

Hmmm...

Lucky his cock wasn't bitten off in the crash.

That perception changed when a Czech parasitologist named Jaroslav Flegr decided to look for evidence that T. gondii's mind-meddling extends beyond rats. Testing the blood of drivers responsible for causing traffic accidents, he discovered they were two and a half times more likely to have been exposed to T. gondii than the general population. Might these drivers have been unwittingly egged on by a tiny parasite?

A language is at risk of dying out because the only two speakers of it refuse to talk to each other.

Front page news of the independent. Good move all in all. About time I say.
