In the news

By Thor's hammer, you might be correct.

Shit man. Come on world. We learn worse than nothing from history.

earthquake in the east midlands, hope the nottingham folk are ok .... bikes falling over in hallways, snowglobes falling off mantle pieces ... oh the humanity

we can send new snow globes with the un when they turn up

3 point something on the richter scale

after shocks being felt near rutland water

some website just came up with the rules for cycling ( well actually aimed at cyclocross but with a little tinkering ... )

It’s even more simple than you’ve been told.
The Rules

1. Don’t be a dick.
   
2. Ride whatever the hell you want.
   
3. No one gives a shit if your bar tape matches your seat.
   
4. The bike comes first, right behind family and friends and making a living.
   
5. Riding in bad weather makes you better. But don’t be stupid about it.
   
6. If you aren’t having fun, stop.
   
7. Don’t overlap wheels. Just fuckin’ don’t.
   
8. Don’t be late to a group ride. Be early.
   
9. If you’re dropped three times, do your own thing. (See Gentlemen’s Ride)
   
10. If it’s a no-drop ride, don’t drop people. Ass.
    
11. Support your local bike shop. And bring them food sometimes.
    
12. If you race more than 3 times a year, you are in Sport division. If you podium twice, move up. If you win, move up. Getting dead last in Expert is better than winning in Sport. Getting DFL in Pro is better than winning in Expert. No one cares if you win. We all have to go to work on Monday. Test yourself.
    
13. If you get plate number 13, you turn it upside down. You just do.
    
14. Do not make start line excuses. “I haven’t been riding”, “I’ve was sick last night”, “I’m too hung over”, “My bike is too heavy”, and the like, are all your fault. Just ride, congratulate the winner, and hang out with your pals after. It’s all good, man.
    
15. Blogs are stupid. Don’t listen to them, and never take them seriously.
    Glossary
    Coffee Ride: Easy, Pease-y. You ride bikes slow and go to a place to drink coffee. Do not fuck up the coffee part. Jeez.
    Gentlemen’s Ride: A group ride consisting of any number of riders. Fast but conversational pace on the flats, with hard efforts on climbs. Strict rolling regroups over the top of climbs. Everyone gets back on the first time, no exceptions. Second climb, rolling regroup. If you are dropped two or three times, do the gentlemanly thing and finish the ride alone. If you’re crushing everyone, do the gentlemanly thing and make sure the bulk of the ride stays together. Most of the group should finish together. Ride leader makes any other decisions.
    No-Drop Ride: No one is left behind. Ever. That said, make sure a pace is announced and enforced, and do not get in over your head. If it is no drop at 18mph and you can only do 14, think long and hard about going.
    Ice Cream Ride: No spandex. 10-12mph. It ends in ice cream, preferably out of a small, miniature Detroit Tigers helmet.
    Recovery Ride: If someone says they are going on a recovery ride, they are going to try to drop you on every climb. Guaranteed.

not too keen on the last section of the coffee ride

I like those.
Especially number 6, everyone should obey number 6

Ps. Update on the east midland earthquake. Still not heard from my mum.

I'm praying for you dude.

#prayforrutland

i think it just triggered a 7.3 in mexico
we are on the same fault line as california and mexico right ?

Some sort of butterfly effect. Clive makes a wrong step in his line dancing finals, small earthquake in Rutland, larger one in Mexico.

oh "£$%^&* you whopper

even the lions were having a b-b-q on that fine good friday
the lack of opposable thumbs caused havoc when trying to use the tongs and general bbq implements and bbq was abandoned

From today's Daily Heil

Headline - 'NO QUESTIONS ASKED'
Paragraph 3 - 'The woman...asked our reporter a series of questions'

Fuck me. I suspect that only an evil piece of shit (like many Mail readers, perhaps) would consider the idea of "no questions asked!" to be an issue anyway. That is, the type of person who would consider taking advantage of a food bank to save a few quid is the only type of person who would think it necessary to have some sort of extensive abuse deterrent.

If Ross Slater went into an A&E faking a heart attack they'd probably try to treat him. For free. And that's what's wrong with this country.

.

johnhiggs @johnhiggs That Brixton student was jailed for six months for stealing bottled water worth £3.50, so no doubt Ross Slater is facing 20 years

.

Despicable cunts.

It ought to be reported to the cops, a Mail employee lied to steal food.

"We reveal how rise in child abuse is all a scam, by getting a reporter to ring ChildLine"
