Happened with a number 25 bus a year or two ago. Awful, just awful.

I should turn up midway through I think. Showing some people the soon-to-be-spare room first.

Also, one large FUCK YOU AND DIE to all the fucking ped cunts who don't know what the difference between red/green men, think that talking on their phone is more important than watching the road, and all the other cunting things outlined in every other 'dumb cunt ped thread' ever posted on every bike forum. Fuck you all you selfish, ignorant cock-smoking fucktards.

Have you considered cycle training with a companion course in anger management?

Even Stamford HIll Morrisons stocks Innis and Gunn and Fuller's 1845

Isn't that the Wetherspoons dirty cheap bitter?

i have never understood why google maps doesnt cache the maps that you have already downloaded... it should defo save the last 2 weeks worth or something..

It does on Symbian (not to the level that nokia/ovi maps does) but they seem to not bother on Android for some reason... maybe because it's supposed to be more cloudy?

For those who don't know, cyclestreets uses mapping data from the OpenstreetMap project.

If the map's wrong, feel free to go to openstreetmap.org and change it!

Yes, their map is editable by all and sundry.

Maybe too intentionally quirky, but is it the London Stone near Cannon St station which has the hidden toilets?

on the downtube

I meant seat tube. Duh.

Found this baby in a place called panella, amazing bakery.
oh boy.

Similar in size and style to the one(s?) in The Bridge on Kingsland Rd under the railway bridge.

Hipsterriffic but I liked the coffee the last time I was there.

Just bought a percolator - it came with a picture of a giant cock on the side of the box.

Barring something remarkable happening I'll be there.

Granit-X 54.

Survived one attack with barely a scratch and isn't really all that heavy compared to most of the locks on this thread.

The frame mount is more heavy-duty than those for smaller Abus D-locks (with the lock locking through the mount rather than just clipping in) although on my frame the only sensible place I could find to put it is on the downtube facing forward where it has a tendency to rattle against my bottle cage and get caught in the leg holes on my 3/4 length shorts.

I think the solution to the latter is to grow fatter legs.

Also, should you end up getting the longer variant of the Granit-X at a later date, it also fits the same mounting bracket.

You get two keys and a card with a number on it (needed for duplicate keys I guess).

I'm still a bit skeptical that it is as good as a lock with a thicker shackle, but it seems Good Enough(tm).

When I returned to it about 2am, after failing to get through the Pitlocks, they nicked the saddle anyway (easily the lowest value item on there, it was a beater a shop gave me for free while they were replacing my real saddle) and dismantled the front of the stem, leaving my drops just hanging down on the front on their brake cables.

[...]

this time when they couldn't do anything, they too kicked in the front wheel (which is why rhowe's post prompted me to post) beyond usability. Fucking fucks.

It's a pisser, isn't it? Report it to the police - they'll give you a reference and hopefully it will help them to realise how much of this shit goes on. If they don't know about it they can't do anything to deal with it (even if they know about it that's no guarantee, of course...)

Browsing around as you do, I just stumbled on this picture - illustrates the scale of the redistribution problem I think

Been the past few years and it's usually awesome (although the MCs are some of the most annoying people on the planet).

I had one of those Boris Bikes overtake me at about 20mph on the flat last night ykes

I try to do this on principle to at least one fully lycra'd roadie every time I take one of those bikes out for a spin.

Well, there's usually more money to be made if your customer needs to buy a new {insert product here} after every use...

Bombs are expensive and if they work right, not reusable. Also, people have a seemingly endless desire to kill each other. Sounds like a solid business worth investing in to me...

... that is unless you consider all the budget cuts in defence on the way :)

There is a good bit in the current Private Eye on page 8:

The rear admiral {representing the arms industry trade body} gasped that "we are the second best defence exporter in the world."
At this, the committee's chairman, James Arbuthnot (Con, NE Hants), bridled slightly, saying "Your duty is not exports but the defence of this country"
