In the news

The Music teacher at my secondary school once performed Silence by John Cale for assembly

Sounds delicious

More bullshit rules introduced by the uci http://road.cc/content/news/49519-uci-sets-sights-drinking-bottles-next

Sound about normal to me;

The new rule Article 1.3.024 will only allow bottles to be positioned on the down tube and seat tube.

The saddle angle however is rather ridiculous.

14mm height difference from nose to tail is not enough?

Another earthqauke in New Zeeland. Anyone has family in Christchurch (beside Ziska)? Call them.

Probably a re-post but if I had lost a belt-drive district I would want it back!

Fatal stabbing on Oxford St.

I walked on oxford st 10mins after it happend turned around and went back home.
There was a very werid vibe out there today.

Are they selling the Air Jordans already? This is getting ridiculous.

I drove on Regent Street and felt like I was surrounded by consuming zombies. No wonder someone got shanked, as the hype was immense. Must buy, buy buy buy, spend, spend, spend.

saw this happen outside my flat last night.

Anyone know what happened on Green Lanes?

Twitter mentions a fire, lots of police, tape and a man arrested.

BBC travel news - Green Lanes closed in Stoke Newington due to building fire.

Oh ok.

I thought it might have been a shooting/stabbing as it seems to be the season.

On a lighter note this is sort of news:
