Is it time to start calling out bad cyclists?

Bothwell, my dear, I never thought I'd say this but I completely disagree with you. How else are you meant to eat milkshakes with bits in? You use the spoon bit to scoop up the marshmallows/mini oreos/rolos/whatever and then the straw to drink the drink.

I think we need an arm wrestle...

At this point you bend the spoon bit over so that the straw bit reaches the bottom of the cup. Buy me a milkshake and I'll show you.

Please let me know which yard this is happening in.

Next time just reply cheerfully "Don't care what you say mate, I know I'm in the right". Cycle off knowing you're sound. Float away and feel free.

One hell of a funny vid, this has made my day LOL

In the water, take it like a man - Sweet

Green light is merely an indication of right of way. It doesn't exempt you from looking for other traffic, including fuckwits jumping the red light, before manoeuvring... Mind you, I'm not in any way trying to justify her actions, but like you said, the bikers could (and should) have given the nodder a bit more slack.

Many bikers, and cyclists for that matter, are killed every year believing blindly in their right of way. Unfortunately right of way doesn't matter shit when negotiating a ten-ton truck operated by an idiot. Well done for calling her out though, hopefully she heard you, and hopefully the whole experience will make her think twice before taking unnecessary chances in the future.

To be fair to the first bikers who set off, their way was clear when they started moving - the nodder really did come sailing through from Tooley Street very late - not just an amber gambler.

Has anyone discovered tipping the cup and drinking from it?

what like off the table?

Has anyone discovered tipping the cup and drinking from it?

Yes. Everybody who's had to attempt to use one of those stupid fucking straws, for eg.

Does he have an especially loud horn-bell? I think this bezza is around Haggerston too ...or maybe there are two. Oh hell.

The description fits traffic droid - he has a bell I think?

Dont think this will change unless people get really big fines for not behaving, regardless of what your "on".

Ketamine.

but when you get to the end of the drink, the straw doesn't work as a straw because it only has one side to it, so you can't slurp the last bit of drink out of the bottom of the cup.

SOLUTION!

Use the not-straw "spoon-end-up" until you're done with the fluids, then reverse it.

What, spit it all back out?

This doesn't work either because the spoon bit is Too Big so it's uncomfortable to use. They're a disaster. Here is a whole blog post a girl who is obviously Correcter Than Hats has written about them, with a photograph to illustrate their stupidity: http://whatcarlyhates.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/costa-coffees-spraws.html

She is wrong, whipped cream is the best bit about drinking coffee. Seriously, it's super easy, you bend the spoon bit at the end of the drink so that you can get the rest of the drink.

I had no idea I was unleashing such vitriol.

What about these?

These are perfect. Look at them. The straw goes all the way to the bottom, the spoon is attached and does a proper job of being a spoon. You can then use it as a dentist's mirror to make sure you haven't got bits of mint choc chip on your teeth when you're done. I might buy a set and take them to costa and then when they give me one of their shitty straws, I'll pull it out and wave it in their faces, shouting "I HAVE A MUCH BETTER STRAWSPOON THAN THIS SHIT, BITCHEZ" until the police come and take me away.

They're for cocktails, there is no way you'll get a satisfying slurp of milkshake or frappuchino through a tube that narrow.

Is it time to start calling out the last straw? >>>

But the straw doesn't go to the bottom, the spoon still goes further than the straw.

Never mind that, the straws you get in bubble tea are the worst.

Actually bubble tea itself is a fucking abomination.

What about cendol? :)

Fuck, you're right. Those are useless too.

Why is it apparently so hard to invent a STRAW that just WORKS?

No. This will not stand.

I think you've already been wrong enough for this week, love.
