In the news

Idiots. I don't know how these meat heads get in.

Also. Definitely the teachers.

The Office of Weights & Measures, I'm guessing.

"a body was discovered in a black bed sheet in a black bag in the loft of Tia's grandmother's home, after police searched it for the fourth time"

Damn. Talk about 'bloke look'.

"cycle race"
"Cyclists were racing"

£1.50 a pop and floating kiosks so you can get your skinny latte en route

This is another one that comes along every couple of years ...

idiotic, poorly conceived wank that does nothing to address the problem of congestion on londons streets much less make cycling seem more attractive. designed entirely to create the impression that very clever and important people are taking the matter of bicycling safety jolly seriously indeed, oh and to get the architects name in the papers.

I was sent the press release about this at work. It came from LA. The irony of LA trying to educate London about how to use bikes!

The Spanish financial regulator has opened an investigation into anticompetitive practices by six manufacturers of turrón.

That would be brilliant fun. More useful than a cycle lane, as it goes somewhere there isn't already a road. Would be great to race down at night!

No chain and brakes less. Fail.

C'mon, this is like EPIC SCALE cavepaintings for the 21st century...

stratford to be moved into zone 2/3

Is West Norwood gentrified yet?

do u even feast?

It's going that way. But in a less annoying way than clapham, where I grew up. There's lot's of interesting junk shops, a few annoying gastro pubs. Still one proper normal pub left on the high street. No starbucks or waitrose yet. Definitely alot more young professionals than when I moved here 6 years ago, and house prices have gone up alot, though my rent has stayed affordable because my place it a bit wrecked. Anywhere else the same size has gone up by about £100 a month though.
