    NUMPTY WATCH

    #1: Stiitng at the lights in primary, just as they go green and I drop out of the trackstand some joker (in shirt, tie & tracksters - great look btw) comes up on my inside, nearly hits me. "Oi watch it mate, don't overtake on the inside" I shout. He replies in a frazzled voice "I didn't, you moved the wrong way". Err yeah mate. I didn't stop to debate further.

    #2 The tubes in the City were shutting around 6.20pm which caught some out. I saw one dude in a suit cycling his brand new hybrid home with the Evans manual still zip-tied to the top tube! Actually that's not numpty behaviour really - chapeau sir

    To be fair, if I didn't have a bag or another suitable method of carrying it, I'd be inclined to just leave it zip-tied there, too.

    Found the roads to be relatively clear and idiot-free this evening. That said, I did sneak out of work at 1700 8)

    I saw a guy in a suit on a really manky old MTB being physically assaulted by a taxi driver on Traf square.

    The taxi driver was very quickly spoken to by a very burly scottish policeman to cheers from the crowd at the side of the street.
