    The the ***wits in the van who lobbed a conker at me. Good shot, now f-off!

    Unless I'm very very mistaken and it was infact from a tree, in which case sorry, and f-off tree! :)

    * I'm pretty sure it was the van men :evil:

    Went to tesco to buy apples for todays lunch last night, then prepared myself a proper feast for today (Ham and Pickle, crisps, bannanas, cereal bars and of course apples). Just been to get lunch out of my pannier to find I have left my feast at home and am being confronted by a bag of 20 apples instead.

    What model of apple did you buy?

    A rant at myself for going through a Red Light. Just thought I would make it before it turned, but no. Idiot idiot idiot.

    I always slow down for lights, not speed up to try and make them. Not sure what went on in my head. Lesson learnt!

    You're going too slowly if you can speed up much ;)

    I am bored. I am stuck in the office waiting for people to get back to me with the information I need to proceed.

    The only one thing I could possibly work on I can't because of the damn security restrictions stopping me from downloading installers. So instead of downloading the files myself I have to wait until our IT guy can get round to it. Which may be some time if he does keep stopping to have a chat :evil:

    To drugs cheat Dwain Chambers: you wouldn't try to start a 100m race 2 metres ahead of the start line (maybe you would, you cheater) so don't sit in the ASL when you are in your car.
    Also, keep an eye out for cyclists using the filter lane in said ASL and don't squeeze them againt the barriers.

    To myself: When walking along the pavement to the shops at lunch, do not walk in the doorzone.
    Passengers are even worse at checking behind them before they open the doors than drivers are and the near miss today could have hurt a little rather than just being a tad embarrassing.

    To the cab with registration S607 XOP, have a look at youtube and tell me why you were ranting and raving at me for reciting you reg and licence plate number when you tried to force me into the gutter. Why did you go very quiet when I pointed out the camera on top of my helmet?

    I have a reflective backpack, highviz and 5 led superbright cateye one can see me if one looks.

    So, to the towering fuckwit who shouted 'get off the raod' to me tonight when I was being very careful and made me jump I say you were lucky you didnt have to stop in Skirlaugh village for any reason because I would have got off my bike and fucked your car up beyond recognition before starting on you.

    Redvee, you are an inspiration to us all.

    Look, Mr all-that Roadie. You're too slow. You're slower than me. I've taken your scalp twice already. Why push to the front so that I have to dive into the traffic to get round you and your other tortoise roadie mates for a third, and then a fourth, time?

    Can't stand being taken by a hybrid? Why let it happen four times then?

    I had to wait 20 minutes for the shower this morning and during tha time I didn't actually hear the shower running. That means someone spent approximately 30 mintues in the shower / changing room this morning doing what exactly?

    There are 12 showers in this building of 2000 people, but there are actually more individual bathrooms than that in this block and there are two blocks per floor. If you are cleaning your teeth, styling your hair or putting on make-up what's wrong with using the sink / mirror in one of those that is EXACTLY the same as the one in the shower room?

    Can't look at that youtube link at work - will look at later - but sounds a lot like my incident with WVM a couple of weeks ago. Annoyingly, it was after my Veho Muvi knock-off gave up the ghost in a tropical rainstorm that had somehow come down in south London, and before my new, genuine Veho Muvi turned up. Lucky for him or I'd have you all youtubing his pinch-point antics.

    Today's special treat? Heading west along the Embankment just before London Bridge, numpty hybrid boy who I'd been leapfrogging since Trafalgar Square (clue: one of us was RLJing, but it wasn't me) decides to squeeze between me (in the narrow cycle lane) and the car to my right even though I'm still moving slowly towards the red light.

    He catches the side of me, says "Excuse Me" in an annoying voice as if I'm in the wrong, RLJs and then gets annoyed with me for muttering "Prat!" after him.
    Never be tempted to race against a Barclays Cycle Hire bike. If you do, there are only two outcomes. Of these, by far the better is that you now have the scalp of a Boris Bike.

    Be worth emailing the link to the taxi licensing person at the council. I doubt they will be impressed.

    had to laugh yesterday; bike and car RLJ at a busy box junction and cant clear the box.

    Green goes on my side and I look for a gap to filter through where I come across these 2 numpties. Bike rider is remonstrating with the car about how close he is to his back wheel, whilst moving forward and because he is looking back swearing at the car he fails to spot the one in front and runs straight into the back of the car in front.

    Redfacedly goes up to the car driver and apologises (no damage); me, quietly laughing to myself

    To the lady on the scooter turning left onto Whitehall from Parl Sq: Yes, it was a green light, but you also have 'Give Way' markings on the road. You and the mouth breather in the van almost killed 5 cyclists between you, including the poor girl that you missed by about 2cm only because she had to swerve violently out of the way.

    However, when I caught up with you at the lights to Horse Guards Parade you were clearly quite shaken up yourself so apology accepted and apologies from me for having unleashed a foul mouthed tirade from behind all the way along Whitehall :oops:
