I hate

I don't get the time to watch too much TV these days but it seems that cameramen, and women (Loretta), seem to be unable to focus their cameras anymore. It happens everywhere - news programmes, documentaries etc. It isn't arty and it's not clever. I sometimes look up at the screen and think my diabetes has just got worse.

Do you have a HD tv?

Maybe it's not the focusing that's worse, but your ability to perceive it that's got better?

No it's definitely them being arty. Instead of 'fade to black' they go out of focus or start the piece out of focus and bring it into focus. It annoys me just thinking about it. When they show a playground full of kids in a news item about standards of education in inner London, for instance, they'll have that completely out of focus whilst narrating over the top. Now I know why they wouldn't show faces but I also know what it is they are talking about so I don't need any visual cues, least of all something that makes me think I'm losing my sight.

I hate the way ob news presenters are made to walk towards the camera while talking, pause and then walk out of shot!

Wandsworth Bridge.

Three times now my chain has jumped off while on it. Twice on descent and once, 20 minutes ago, on the way up.

I was going up it when I noticed on the other side some guy about to go over his handlebars heading the opposite way on the other side so I stopped to go help/see if he was ok when I went to cross over chain just fell off so still clipped in coasted over got on the pavement hooked the chain back up eventually and when I looked up he had gone.

Fuck samaritanism.

I like this. Mark of a classy pro.

When the forum header has to turn black again.

Me too, it does really work to bring awareness to all of the users like me that don't follow many london cycling news sites and wouldn't hear about the majority of fatalities without it.

Windmill Drive. That road that cuts through clapham common. Worst road surface I have to encounter in London and idiots drive right down your lane at speed expecting right of way.

Gave me a double snakebite yesterday. Obviously under-inflated but still massive shoddy holes everywhere.

Shit road surface but it's smoother if you're out in primary.

When people edit their for sale ads so I can't see what it sold for to get a decent picture of what my item is worth/what I should offer for one.

there's a way to check the prices on edited posts now.

If you think the bike is lovely, there's no need for that at all it's just being snobby.

Grown men in flip flops

I don't want to see your hairy malformed feet which have been pickled in running shoes for 11 and a half months of the year.

Never thought I'd have a second opportunity to use this:

Ha!

I do like wearing flipflops, just not on the bike.

I hate the ghost in my shower that makes it turn on in the middle of the night.

Would you rather have a dirty ghost ?

So long as the ghost didn't protest I'd be fine with it being dirty.

What if it was Patrick Swayze and he came and sat with you while uwere throwing some clay?

This happened to me!

Trackstanding a (freewheel) bike which had mudguards. I lose balance, plonk foot down but nail of big toe gets caught on mudguard-rod. Comes clean off! Fucken hurt! And loads of blood.
