surprised that I can't find any news stories about the pedestrian run over by a bus at the top of Brixton Hill on Saturday night - happened about 8.40pm. My friend was in the sainsburys local, heard the thud, looked up to see body under the wheels, and was one of many who rang 999.

We went past about 90 mins later and the road was closed off both ways, pedestrian taken to hospital, described as "life-changing" injuries. His shoes were still in the road - grim.

I've shared on big evil face space as it struck a chord with me (3 weeks left of office work, then the big wide world), I think you now have at least a couple more followers!

only 4 times? i was interested up til that point

I do wonder sometimes about the minority and independent candidates. I mean is it like xfactor levels of deluded-ness where they really think they've got talent?

to be a candidate you have to have supporters all over London (33 signatures from each borough) plus £10k deposit. the deposit is forfeit if you get under 5% of the first preference vote. While not impossible, it's equally not a light undertaking.

rather than usual CS7, decided to turn off at Oval to Vauxhall > North embankment. was late into work, but bloody lovely cycling next to the river. Parliament Square a bit of a mess tho - heading back towards the river the lights were green for cars but red for cycles for a while... and obviously all the cyclists just acted like cars as they're perfectly allowed to do.

highlight was a brompton rider with shirt, chinos and aero helmet w/ full face visor.

i think this is definitely falling into the "and other stories" part of the thread. epic #csb all round

ahh - right. have never done it with a freewheel so this is just from a thought experiment, but i don't think rotafix would work to loosen a freewheel. it would work to get on back on again.

rotafix? unless you have a vice.

pretty sure cats would choose lasers over tape measures too. they go bonkers for the red dot.

thankfully the lack of hi-viz pedestrian warning shouty people at E&C worked fine today - I breezed through.

I think I've worked out the lack of blue paint - technically the blue paint is for the Cycle Superhighways as opposed to mere cycle paths. and I think northbound CS7 turns left just before E&C along an alleyway. felt like sherlock when I got that.

I think they are attempting without paint as the paint is 'an eyesore' but then many aren't aware of non eyesore routes so it just doesn't work.

that is amazing. especially when we're talking about elephant and castle, which isn't exactly a beauty spot

on this - why have they not painted it blue?

first time back on bike for 6 weeks following snowboarding and required fractured elbow - it was glorious. even the constant creak from either my saddle, clamp or seatpost couldn't upset me.

E&C - quite enjoyed it. we'll have to see how well it works once the funding runs out for the hi-viz people shouting at pedestrians on their phones

re: keto. i'm getting back into it - forgot how rubbish the first month or so was, i remember feeling really really healthy tho once i'd adapted.

i fell off the wagon when away snowboarding at beginning of the month because beer. stupid beer.

pole and line caught tuna - includes tesco basics, weirdly. 64p per can.
bulk powders protein shakes are from grass fed cows
GOMAD (gallon of milk a day)

ethical and expensive are both subjective, so those suggestions might be completely off point

yeay. slug population explosion. what is the point of slugs?

Where/when is the best time to give yourself a weigh to get a consistent figure from which to benchmark your gains(loss)?

depending on your level of effort - wake up, drink 1.5 litres of water within 30 minutes. wait another 30 mins/1 hour. then weigh yourself immediately after the loo.

to those managing to throw chain - there's something going wrong there, I think your chain is too loose. I have NEVER thrown a chain on 5 years of fixed. If you lock your legs the moving parts should do the same, not fall to pieces!

pleasing? in an evil laughing way?

i dunno about breath, but i did have a funny taste in my mouth for a few days, but it then passed which i think is the general process.

biggest tip for keto when starting out - you need to pay attention to your electrolytes. almost definitely not getting enough, which can make you feel a bit flu-ey.

i hope you didn't join and thereby maintained your fixie skidder high ground.

or low ground.

got the train in due to elbow being fucked (hopefully temporarily) after snowboard-related stupidity last week. i got a seat, which was nice. other than that it was shit.

I guess this is as good a place as any...

Following 2 years thinking it over I'm stopping my current mind-numbing career in insurance and pursuing plumbing. I have little direct experience but enough around the fringes to be ludicrously excited enough to commit to it. I'll start college in September to get the level 2 diploma, hopefully South Thames (Wandsworth High Street) but if not I've got a place at Lambeth (Vauxhall/Stockwell).

SALES PITCH: Will be FUNemployed from 1 June, and am keen to find a labourers job to get experience before college. I know I'll be more of a hindrance than a help for a couple of weeks but am happy to do whatever rubbish tasks are available in exchange for basically watching someone work.

Can anyone help? pretty please?

I get what you mean, there's a fair few "english" in our various cricket teams. he went to school in croydon tho so either way his accent will be horrid

then got blown by Katie all the way to Wimbledon
