  • I quite enjoyed commuting to Ealing today and seeing the pillockton heading the other way, they did all seem to be remarkably well behaved.

    Nodder fodder heading the other way.. highhorse.. >>>

  • To reiterate it was a quick 'toot' to create awareness.

    Could panic riders causing them to behave erratically?

    I hate car horns.

  • It's illegal to ride a scooter on the pavement.

    really?

  • I fucking hate those jesus fishes.

    "Hey world, I'm Christian!"

    I might start wearing a sign that says, 'I like garlic' on my back, because I'm sure other people care to know that about me as much as I care to know they love jesus.

  • Jesus fishes on a Bike?

  • I fucking hate those jesus fishes.

    "Hey world, I'm Christian!"

    Do you also hate baptism for the same reason?

    Regardless. Adding myself to the list for riding the wrong way down one of the numerous one way streets in soho. Da police was not impressed by my backsliding.

  • Well it is Richmond.

    Lol!

    they were all heading for the Richmond Park 3 Lap Challenge

    watch out 6pt your no.1 time's days are numbered.

    Nah, they were all commuting down upper Richmond road towards Putney- not in the actual park. I spotted the 3 lappers- it's easy to tell. there was a particularly lovely Legnano

  • People are driving around with baptism on their cars?

    Don't be stupid, he means people getting their cars baptised.

  • You didn't get your car baptised?? Uh oh. I bet your fuel bills are through the roof!

  • Surely norths car is the work of satan

  • Be sure to get your cars baptised, guys! if not, pop some holy water in next time you change your oil. You'll actually be able to hear the hiss of a demon dying if you listen carefully.

  • Surely norths car is the work of satan

    I've had the exhaust fixed, it's not so much the work of satan, more the work of satan's son who plays with barbies and thinks about going for walks in the meadow a lot.

  • Be sure to get your cars baptised, guys!

    That must explain all these gatherings of people you see splashing out on cars in a local layby of a weekday evening.

  • splashing out on cars

    dogging euph?

  • yes

  • Called out to a rubbish cyclist for the first time today.
    I overtake a line of about 5 cyclists going relatively slowly in the green cyclist lane, giving them a little over a meter's room. But a nodder in the middle of the group gets impatient as well and in order to overtake shifts abruptly to the right without looking over her shoulder. I braked hard so our impact wasn't that bad. But she could have been finished off if she had been hit by the van behind me.
    I point this out to her at the next red light. I'm not really angry at her, just using a normal voice. However this talking to got her so angry that she then instantly sped off at the red light, seemingly tried to prove some point to me about being a hardcore cyclists or something by continuing in the opposite lane for almost to blocks. Eventually, she is trapped between a lorry and a bus in Bartholomew road and just avoids being squeezed by jumping onto a traffic island. She then starts screaming out loud, kind of AAARRGGHH type thing.

  • really?

    Apparently.

  • Apparently.

    be interested to learn more on this, there's 1000's of kids being encouraged to scoot to school each day as part of a competition my employers are running, will flag it up if it is illegal, am sure they'd have considered this though?

  • I fucking hate those jesus fishes.

    "Hey world, I'm Christian!"

    I might start wearing a sign that says, 'I like garlic' on my back, because I'm sure other people care to know that about me as much as I care to know they love jesus.

    I don't mind heavily religious people doing what they do best, thats fine, just so long as they don't sit next to me rambling constantly in a high pitched excited voice about how OMGazing some book is, on a 10hr+ flight which was preceded by a 4hr flight and will be proceeded by another 2hr flight. I draw the line when I'm shaken awake by said person to be told about some other book that I don't care for. GRRRRR

  • I retract my sentiments, I was mildly enraged at work. I have realised that a jesus fish is probably not as bad as my constant wearing of Star Wars based apparel. I imagine there are many people who probably think, "Fuck him and his Star Wars obsession."

  • shaken awake

    sure that wasn't 'raised from the dead'?

    "Fuck him and his Star Wars obsession."

    Flippin starwars and its "midichlorians" bs.

    Ask SkyDancer; he knows everything. And even if he doesn't he's very good at giving the impression that he does. [;)]

    You reckon ?

  • asked Google so I didn't wake Skydancer...

    "Unpowered scooters and skateboards
    cannot legally be used on pavements,
    footpaths or cycle tracks as they have
    no right of way, but the DfT admits it
    is not very practical trying to enforcement the
    law. Local bye-laws can be created banning
    them."

    ^ Bad grammar from the bbc, an answer though.

    So it is illegal but not enforced.
