saw a complete fucking idiot on london bridge last night, arriving at the south end of the bridge I filter in that assault course they call the asl filter lane and pull in behind two vans both slightly over the line narrowing the way through and both indicating left.
a few seconds pass and the nodder patrol all come rolling past squeezing through the tiny gap to all bunch up in the asl. the lights change and I begin to set off as the van in front of me pulls away (still indicating his intention to turn left) only for the aforementioned king of the nodders bedecked in his finest fluorescent outfit and sporting a rather fetching pollution mask on his halfords special comes flying down the inside, attempts to undertake the van which is now in the process of turning left realises he's about to die, thumps the side of the van causing the driver to pull an emergency stop which in turn almost had me run into the back of him. the nodder king then swears incoherently at the driver and looks at me for support, but gets a filthy look of disdain and a shake of the head instead.
the van continues to move on and then KotN proceeds to ride straight across the left turning because despite his absolute need to ride up the inside is actually going across the junction into the station. cutting me up in the process as well.
For someone so angry about the van driver he seemed to have selectively ignored me call him a 'fucking twat' nor did he abide my invitation to 'get some cycle training you james blunt' as neither elicited the slightest response.
tl;dr saw a twat on a bike.
