You must go through a shite load of cigs my friend.

Also, the part where 'he was eating a banana' is hilarious. Made me chuckle that, a lot.

But if he was a theif, why would he come back to his bike and start eating a banana. How long was the lock locked to yours? Possibly the dude is retarded and was only there temperarily.

This thread is so dead, I've given up smoking!

but happy to see it resurrected for a bit. I think it was my best thread ever. Apart from maybe the toplessness thread, which i WILL resurrect when i go topless again. Not looking likely for a while though.

My ex-ex frame. Finished off by the goat tracks of London. Quite a sickening feeling when it goes....

Don't know why it shouldn't be safe.

Banks have won their Supreme Court battle to keep on charging overdrawn people massive admin fees.

I propose a 'smear faeces around the City' ride

Standards fail.

Was nice knowing you Tiswas

Interesting list of speakers tho, especially the editor of punch who is still alive 'cos a bus missed him.

Small world - that's the reason I'M still alive too!

Flipcam Flashmob! Protest outside Trafigura Offices (Oxford Street)

Do you love the BBC? Do you love freedom of speech? Do you hate corporate bullies?

Then join us at 1pm on Thursday, November 26th. We’re going to ‘flashmob’ Trafigura outside their office, at the Marble Arch end of Oxford Street.

This protest will be an act of defiance against Trafigura’s attempt to stop the UK media reporting the fact that their toxic waste is alleged to have caused illness and burns to tens of thousands of people in the Ivory Coast, along with over a dozen deaths.

I like riding down brick lane either way as it's got a bit more character.
I always pick the more characterful routes and avoid the soulless roads - the York Ways of this town for example.

Ticketing naughty cyclists cycling the wrong way down it...

It's in the bloody guardian. Of course it reaches that conclusion.

yeah but it got me thinking, is all, that i WILL miss them. But then I am a hand-wringing, Ken-voting, liberal militant atheist Guardian reader.

It's just that I have a feeling my fellow Londoners, even those few that do not read the guardian, will miss the bendy love when sat glumly on a rigid. Which was not free.

^Tried to edit the DLR wikipedia page with this information. Can't believe it isn't in the entry.

At least bendys and Routemasters had a bit of something interesting to them.

We're just gonna be left with bog standard double and single deckers now. BORING.

And i've jsut read Oliver's massive post and this is seeming more and more like a massive logic fail.

i miss conductors. used to catch the 73 when it was a routemaster. if you knew how to play it then it also would be free. Simply sit on the top front seat at the far left or right.

There was one dude though who would give a little commentary on buildings and points of interest we bussed by and used to make me feel my £1 was money well spent.

I must warn you though that lamenting the loss of conductors throws you in with Daily Mail columnist Quentin Letts who asked last week:
Could bringing back bus conductors be just the ticket to save us from the faceless technocrats who haunt Bog Standard Britain?

and it was free

i'd happily spend all day on the 38 route to catch boris frantically rubbing his wallet on the magic yellow pad, only to be greeted by the red light and the 'boo boo' sound of death.

I'd say something like: "it's all become something of a cheap political football to get you elected this bendy bus lark" and then go all fraud on his ass. Likke poor eyebrows seems to have had to endure judging by the *

wouldn't you love to be the ticket inspector who caught bojo hovering at the bibber only to find he had just 78p left on his oyster?

^that cracked me up a bit

You will never need to dodge another bendy 38 again.

Thing is I can't help thinking how as a ped, as I sometimes am, I quite liked bendy buses. You could slip on anywhere along, stand at the kink and watch it swivel around you...

if you were a bit short on cash hish you could shamefully hover by the bibber looking out for an inspector stepping on...

it's become bit of a political football, but perhaps got more of a bad press than it deserved.

what an absolute travesty. As someone with many irish relatives i feel a bit sickened by that handball. what a fucking shitty way to not be able to enjoy the world cup.

see you on there
