Been doing the queen of the Suburbs to City via CS7 for ages, Richmond park has benefits but I find the Putney/Fulham bits worse than Tooting and CS7 is quicker.
Use the new Mew Malden - Raynes Park (? not Motspur), equal on time to heading via the A3/Krispie Kreme but continuous and will chill you right out.
In short, bike lane through Green Lane Rec from Surbiton to New Malden, Elm road (level crossing but who cares if held up), right onto the cut, cross New Malden High St, new bike lane all the way to Raynes Park, get off in front of the station and just walk through the tunnel, remount, ride up Kingston road, at the end go straight on up the bike path behind Wimbledon Chase Primary then out onto Kingston Road which becomes CS7 once at Colliers wood 3 mins later.
Can add a map if required.

Watched half of Get me Roger Stone on Saturday night, Narcissistic nutcase yes, though I struggled to reach the conclusion this was a guy who would sell his country to the Russians.
As for Manafort, odd seeing him being a talking head on a 2016 documentary with the reality that he's now a guy who'll die is prison or get butchered by an oligarchs henchmen.

£31.2k plays £55.6k, so about 6.5 years payback, but lets just ignore Uber buying 24,000 autonomous Volvos... No wonder all those Gammons with the knowledge are raging!

Looks like £95 a week so let's say 48 weeks and even if fuel is 5x the cost of driving an average Tesla, that's a £17,800 saving in five years.

As for that call, freaking glorious as Trump and Conway's plan to avoid engaging with the book back fires

Named on the bus, also specific to each route, so if you know the bus number you can just google it, they bid against each other to run routes for 5 years at a time, sadly I think all on price as opposed to their complaints track record or how many people they've killed. Should be RAPT/Go-Ahead/Abellio/Metroline etc.

London Bridge northbound intersection at Monument...
Lady on a city bike pootling along, was riding along the bus slip lane thing on the left hand side. Van had his indicator on for a very long time in the middle lane to the right of the bus lane and was carefully and slowly moving across to turn left. She went along in this bus lane, and then started pulling to the right with her hand out, completely ignoring the van driver, as she wanted to turn right from the left hand turning lane.
She then had the audacity to make some sort of gesture at the driver, as if he was in the wrong!
Now I haven't been in this country for long, but surely you give way to the front, rather than cutting on the inside of a turning vehicle clearly indicating and then proceeding to turn right? I yelled something at her but whatever. Fell on deaf ears.
I watched all this happen in front of me (I was giving way to the van), and wanted to facepalm myself, but couldn't because I was in the middle of a half assed trackstand in between cars.
People this morning. Van driver, if you're reading this, I was hating on that bicycle numpty too (she cut me off earlier on the bridge too without looking).
Could be the burd I pinched on the arse on London Bridge the other week who RLJ'd everything and didn't like my action while calling her out.
As for the pavement debate^ sure the pavement was empty but doesn't it just make you and then in the minds of all who witness it, assume that all of us are cunts, such that it can wheeled out in every argument.

Anyone installed a smart switch? Am not bothered about having the smartest home in the world, just after replacing the porch switch (on the inside next to the front door) to a smart switch so can Alexa/IFTTT for a timer or link to motion detectors on a camera. Simplest answer would be a smart bulb but inevitably the switch will get turned off killing the whole thing.
