Let's Stand In The Road!

I comply with those restrictions. You decide which category I fall into.

No you decide.

My real title is actually Sir ... (I'm a Baronet) not Mr.

I think that Baronets (and all other titled nobility or minor nobility) ought to stand in roads; preferably busy roads.

"The prosecution rules this was not a case of dangerous driving," he added. "This was very much a case of momentary loss of consciousness and concentration.

"Speed was not an issue

Sounds as though it might have helped.

I encountered a pair of road standers yesterday, just standing, not using mobiles or anything in particular just having a good old road based stand.

One in particular was so engrossed in his stand that he failed to notice the approach of oncoming traffic (me, in vehicle not cycling) and his face was a picture of alarm as I swerved around him. What was most impressive was his lightning fast reaction to the imminent danger, by jumping from his road standing position into exactly the same position in the same place that he was already in, he managed to keep himself within peril for as long as possible.

As I continued on my way, a cursory glance in the rear view mirror showed this individual employing a new tactic, he was now standing spread-legged in the middle of the road, one hand holding a bottle of supermalt, the other clutching his 'toilet area' whilst he made thrusting movements with his crotch. Presumably this was some kind of welcoming dance, maybe Streatham's version of the Haka.

Thank you RPM. Posts like yours are why I visit this site.

the guy handing out free Sun newspapers and standing out in the middle of the road by the junction of waterloo road and baylis road in the morning deserves special mention, his efforts to make other folks dawdle and perhaps join him for a stand in the road are pretty choice

He is handing out the Sun, for free. Give him the number for the Samaritans.

At least three road standers on the way home, taking pictures of the DOUBLE RAINBOW. This is officially an epidemic.

At Newington Butts just down from E&C roundabout early this evening, a lady Standing In Teh Road, straddling her BICYCLE, sheepishly watching the traffic zooming about all around her.

Was unable to tell if she had somehow got herself there accidentally or if she was one of you lot trying out the trend, and too awestruck at the positioning and circumstance to fumble my camera out in time. A true British heroine.

OK people, we need pics. C'mon. Let's document this phenomenon.

I was enjoying reading through this thread, until! SOMEONE MENTIONED BLACKFOOT SUE. I'm all for a free internet, but this sort of music is taking things too far!

Just sue if it caught you on the back foot.

Oliver, go to bed.

…and have a lie-in.

Get someone to hold the pillow over your face.

And keep it there until you've stopped breathing.

Too far?

Nope, Oliver's a big boy. He can take it.

Go into the garden. Bury your head. I'll help you bury your hands.

Do maggots and worms eat dead vegans?

some newbies who still don't have the confidence to stand right in the middle of the road but not bad for a first effort
