how are the rings made?

ok, we got that off our chest.
how are the rings made?

lawnmower on a bit of rope?

Well they shut the Strand underpass ready for reversing the direction to southbound and Waterloo Bridge was a hot fucking mess this morning.

Big fuckin' rings in Richmond Park

I was disappointed when I saw that this wasn't a photo of all the arseholes displaying their Sunday morning carbon dream machines in RP.

It would be hilarious if someone trampled a big crudely-drawn-cock sprouting from the balls.

I'll get hold of Reg Presley - he loved a crop circle. I'm sure he could arrange a crop cock.

Guys!! Who's REALLY behind the Olympic Games???

MORE LIKE THE ILL-YMPIC GAMES!

British wrestler Myroslav Dykun has been banned for two years after testing positive for methamphetamine, UK Anti-Doping have announced

"UK Anti-Doping chief executive Andy Parkinson said: "Our pre-Games prevention programme was put in place to ensure that only clean athletes represent Great Britain and this case proves that the system is working."

So why is Millar allowed to ride now?

Horses.

"The Rings have been mown into the grass by six of The Royal Park’s shire horses"

David Beckhams no half a greeter. You never got picked, so you moan and greet about it.

Then they "find" a role since you've been a supporter from the start, these celebrities would melt you're brain

I ran this through Google Translate and I'm getting nothing.

it translates to ...... david beckham is a c**t,
fuck off away from the olympics .. something you've had nothing to do with evar but still you feel the need to be the centre of that little drama too

these celebreties would melt your brain

I'm guessing it's in Glaswegian. Incomprehensible.

From the Guardian blog:

                                                "I just called the TfL Games Lanes hotline (0843 222 1234) and  was told they are planning to impound bicycles from those unable or  unwilling to stump up the £130 fine. From my cold dead hands."

later its clarifies that they plan to impound illegally parked cars only.

58 members or 11% of the GB Team is forrun

I'm going to ride wherever I deem to be the safest place on the road, fuck their road paint!

Also BAN THE BOMB!

Where does this £130 fine come from? I can't find anything in the legislation / TRO / on TfL's site. And the impounding sounds doubtful too.

It is irresponsible to suggest that cyclists would be safer if allowed to cycle in the busy offside Games lanes. Experience in London shows that the majority of cyclists prefer to cycle positioned safely in the nearside lanes. In conditions of slow moving traffic, we encourage cyclists to avoid putting themselves in danger by staying safe and staying back.
It is irresponsible to decree on what is or what is not safe for cyclists, when you appear to have no clue, you mug.

+1

What Mr Emmerson say's is true in normal circumstances. But they've just shifted all the traffic into that inside lane.
How hard would it have been for these people to have asked someone from the lcc or similar to get on board with this - even if they could only have managed the same plan, at least they could have sold it in better terms.

What, Welsh?

hahahaa

from the guardian bike blog comments...

When it comes to the games i think we've been labouring under a misapprehension: We thought we were hosts like the queen is at a posh garden party, when actually we're hosts in the way that John Hurt is in Alien.

sums it up perfectly I think.
