And this is him, waiting for his fish cakes.
Is it cooked yet?

Georges is 14 and has arthritis so he sleeps more, goes out less, except when it's sunny and loves being in the warm. He's better than a year ago though, we improved his diet so he moves better. He plays sad cat "I'm old! Please carry me".

And all the pleasure we got from reading ironic and sarcastic comments.

Yes but think how much LFGSS has profited from it. 22 pages dedicated to the subject.

That was easy for him though, he was born in a police box.

Pimlico will be safe today, I'm taking the tube.

Cycling training shocker!

I'm looking at you Mr Hunt...

hahaha I know the area well. It's Pimlico with it wide and empty streets and most of them are one way. So you have the choice of taking a 1.5 km detour in traffic or cut through some lovely, empty streets. We all cut through, including my LCC cycling instructor :) Time for Westminster to put signs that read, one way, except for cyclists.

So cruel.

Good cyclists are well appreciated, by me at least! I met one today and I stalked him for a mile or so. It was nice!

But I saw much worse today, worse than all the bad cyclists I encountered this week put together: a crazy guy on roller blades in Trafalgar Square waving a golf umbrella and going all over the place. I cried when he started to go down Whitehall before me but thankfully he decided to throw himself into an incoming motorcyclist (I will never forget his face) before disappearing between buses.

And yesterday in Trafalgar Square, we all started to go through a green light (bunch of cyclists etc) when a Kelbray lorry came speeding from the right, hooting. He obviously had gone through a red light or maybe was stuck in traffic but he really pushed his speed as he went through towards us. Nice one. I didn't get his number unfortunately.

Good.

I got a message back from Roadsafe about the guy who spat at me and they told me to report it to my police station. Not sure I will do it yet but thinking about it.

My best wishes to both of you. x

ha!

I thought that a guy, in his early 30s, daring a woman in her 40s to a fight was wonderful.

Just reported a driver who tried to squeeze me into a stationary cab (that had stopped in the cycle lane...) - He got really cross because I knocked my fingers on his Ford Fiesta to tell him to stop (which is a bit ironic as a few seconds before his driving, would have had me splashed all over his car). He stopped and shouted at me for touching "MY car!" and that if I was going to do it again he was going to hit me, he dared me to do it again. I didn't say anything, I wanted him to go away and could tell that he was keen to get out and hit me and he spat at me and left. I overtook him, took note of his number, he overtook me and shouted some more. I was glad not to see him again on my way home.

TfL will provide bike stands for businesses.

(which is hilarious as - see my first post above- in the TfL building where I worked we had the shi$%^ bike stands ever and we were told that there was no money to improve them).

Cameron would be soooo bleak if the tories lost London as well. Fingers crossed.

Saw Boris on the tube this morning.. what a man of the people.

Fair weather cyclist (and you ;).

Shocking news! A fake Primark shop opens in Dubai.

Here's the Channel 4 report.

Channel 4 did a report on the story last night. No Eddy Merckx but close-ups on the padlock -as they still seem to imply that he may have been able to lock himself which would be even better than Houdini had ever done. They also had a 3-D film of his flat.

I think Murdoch and Hunt did it.

Re the story on the MI6 agent found padlocked inside bag

Coroners say they believe someone else was involved

Well fucking done Sherlock Holmes
Nice bit of deduction there ... he was padlocked INSIDE the freaking bag

hahaha.

Like I said... Jacobins and Girondists, Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, Lenin and Trocky, SA and SS. It's only question of time.

You forgot LFGSS army of computer warriors.

I'm bored now. Mr Griffin, I forgive you. Can we all get on and be friends, it'll be more fun.

A big part of the reason to boycott was the statements made by John Griffin which encouraged his drivers to drive irresponsibly, that blamed cyclists if they got hit, that shirked responsibility for road safety and then went on to declare that cyclists need to pay up (road tax) and be insured (his own cyclists cannot be as Bill points out).

Black cabs are not making such statements and have a legal right to the bus lane which they've long had. The boycott isn't about trying to get anyone out of the bus lane that doesn't already have right to it, it's not about trying to make a wholly segregated cycle space in which only buses and nothing else could enter.

The boycott is about making the owner of one of the most prominent PHV firms in London accept responsibility for his share of road safety and to respect the existing laws and regulations. It is also about him communicating to his drivers that they must share the road, and drive with consideration for other road users.

Every time the issue is deflected I feel I should point out that no other person with thousands of vehicles to his name is telling his drivers to break the law, and is displaying an utter disregard to the life of cyclists.

This man should step back, retract and reverse his statement, and respect other road users and the laws and regulations in which he operates. It would be great if he also respected his own staff, but hey... that's for them to fight for.

To forget that simple thing and to focus on other road users is to miss the point. Show me another person acting as irresponsibly, on such a scale, with regards to cyclist safety in London.

I absolutely agree with what you say. I don't care about other companies, I just couldn't understand why we were suddenly promoting them on this thread. It's all been resolved so we're all good.

On your question Show me another person acting as irresponsibly, on such a scale, with regards to cyclist safety in London. Boris Johnson

Which means that we're all friends! Yeah!
