you need to post that on at least another 5 threads, randomly, to keep your post count up ;)

70,000 bikes stolen in london last year only 17,800 reported.

if you get your bike stolen make sure you report it and get a crime number so it shows up in the stats and cops take it more seriously

Man gets ploughed out of the way and called stupid. I'm guessing that he didn't see them because soldiers are good at camouflage and stealth.

Not really news though:
"Cyclist and Cab-Driver swear at each other"

Sounds like a normal day in lovely old London Town.

I expect he often gets jeered at by black cab drivers - they feel a lot of anger towards him.

This spat was quite funny really - both as bad as each other.

I'm sure Boris will find a way to diffuse the situation, with his more refined use of language tomorrow...

Fucking HELL

Can you imagine the headlines if a potential future Labour leader had told a cabbie to "fuck off and die"? He wouldn't be excused as a plain speaker, man-of-the-people, one of a kind, unique character would he?
I do think in the end even the Tories will say to themselves, Boris? This idiot? As Prime Minister? No, no.

what the fucking fuck is up with people! this makes me really sad.

I thought those blokes in costumes were supposed to stand perfectly still so you couldn't tell they were real people/not yoda/not made from bronze?

9 dead in racially motivated gun attack in S Carolina. I assume when (if), the cops catch up with the perpetrator they'll be looking to recruit him.

I'm sure Boris will find a way to diffuse the situation, with his more refined use of language tomorrow...

Is there a 'Best/wittiest retort to aggressive or abusive driver' thread?

Ace idea. I can never think of owt clever to say so usually revert to a mum reference:

Fat driver: 'You don't own the fucking road'
Me: 'Your mum doesn't own the fucking road'

Me neither, usually just crap swearing, though I did say "You're not a very nice man are you?" to an impatient AA man in his van.
