Me, stepping out on someone I know is on here. I know that Rathbone Place shit for ped stepouts.

The world capital of ped-stepout-ness is officially St Martin's Lane WC2.

^ certainly not!! Just saying it was a bit like walking into a petrol station & lighting a fag. The assailant still needs arresting.

I think if I'd just rear-ended someone and then whilst stuck in the middle of the junction, a cyclist came too close, slipped over and asked me for my insurance details in case his bike was scratched, I too would have gone stratospheric. However I would probably have just had a massive tantrum and eventually handed over my details. Deffo follow it up with the old bill. Hope your hand heals up!

far better than most OTP NV's

love it

What were you going to make with just champagne & bitters? Or were you hoping to find brandy & sugar cubes at your destination?

Either way, I think you should have packed it all in a suitcase and flown Ryanair.

Fucking tour bus wankers can rot forever in a pit of burning tar.

Last week I was turning left from Oxford St onto Portman St behind a tour bus, doing 5-10mph. A pair of peds were crossing the road and decided to keep moving rather than wait <5 seconds for him to pass. They totally misjudged his turning circle though, so the husband has to yank the wife back by the neck before her feet go under the back wheels; she then falls on her arse and hurts herself.

Two ambulances, a police car and a police motorbike later... the driver's cacking himself & being interviewed by the old bill, the bus is full of passengers all inconvenienced, and numerous passers-by are treating this halfwit woman like they're all Florence Nightingale. So I was more than happy to give the tour bus driver my details in case he needed a witness. On some level it felt like justice for idiot pedestrians who can't bear to wait on the kerb.

Wasabi the problem with using the search function a ni-hao?

tooting twat-face.

Should that be 'Tooting twat-face'? I didn't know the area had become a byword for cuntdom, a la Notting Hill / Hoxditch.

you be invitin e reach around bouy, proper job!

Reacharounds are obviously an etiquette minefield...

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you.

^ that's the risk you run. I've had two of those recently and both times thanked my lucky stars I got away with it. TILMF.

I read recently that even once the self-serving bias has been explained to people, they agree that it operates, but are confident that they suffer from it a bit less than everyone else. Made me laugh.

Stopped at a red light heading east on New Oxford St just now. Bendy bus pulls up alongside me to the left. Driver (female, quite fit) says to me through her open window, "What are you waiting for? It's red but go for it! Go on, go!!" so I feign some disapproving horror and laugh, then take the piss out for her sitting in the ASL so she laughs too. Made my morning...

Terminal cheesecake was his bands

Obi-Wan style There's a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time.

I had one of their albums - perhaps their only one. Just about unlistenable, as far as I remember!

'the RLJing fixed-gear rider' is a fairly stupid stereotype even as stereotypes go.

+1. Please don't bracket the two things together. Pick on couriers instead.

my brothers band used to play their support in the UK .... Madness

Jesus. I haz a jealous.

10 points to you. Just googled it and yes it was sampled by Orbital so I apologise emmeff. Locust Abortion Technician album, 1987...

Guess again....

I'm listening to the album right now on last.fm and I'd forgotten how bonkers / terrifying it is.

"Son, it's better to regret something you **have **done than something you haven't done... and by the way... if you see your mom this weekend, be sure and tell her... SATAN SATAN SATAN"

Name that tune...

It was perhaps 25 metres long and easily 5 feet wide.

Was it some kind of giant chopstick?

why do they bother?

Some motorists see cyclists as moving obstacles, not traffic. It's like when you see a caravan on the motorway and you start clenching your buttocks until you've overtaken it.

Or maybe that's just me.

are cabbies so desparate to pick up a customer as to risk our lives and their license??

cliveo has posted somewhere else about how trade for black cabs is at an all-time low, therefore expect them to be driving with eyes not on the road but the pavement, and pulling sudden manoeuvres in desperate attempts to get fares...

and Johan - sorry to hear your news - get better!

cutting me up so he could get to the traffic lights and queue longer

Of all the annoying things that can happen on the road, that one really really grips my shit - especially if they top it off with a bit of 'improper use of horn'. You don't know whether to laugh or cry.

ha! I was wandering down there thinking "doesn't look like the recession has *quite *hit here yet"

lol, the exact same thought occurs to me every time I'm on Charlotte St, it's bonkers.

Gentleman in white & blue shirt + lid with lots of spoke cards heading north on Warwick Rd just now. We were going a bit fast to exchange particulars - morning sir.

Lets get the quote right, at least.

I actually woke up in the night last night when I realised I'd got it wrong. slaps forehead
