    Covering your self with glory you are not. If you've gone for personal insult, ie Rick is lying, which is never a great start, practically if his post had the cite...

    Personal insult...?

    There's nothing personal about it.

    Rick Chasey doesn't need you white-knighting for him, btw.

    Clot.

    You led with your chin, and got dumped firmly on your arse with the first punch. Show some humility and graciousness, FFS.
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    Good spot. There are the remains of a similar (failed) network of elevated walkways in Bristol. I think in that case, it was the early '70s oil crisis and ensuing property crash which killed that one off, but it was essentially trying to solve the same problem.

    No, not really.

    Let's be clear.

    You basically asked someone for a citation that they had already provided - so your judgement is already under question.
    You accused them of lying. Which, incidentally, ticks the boxes for "personal insult".

    An apology IS most definitely in order.

    Now, you may not wish to give one, which makes you look a d1ck, but that doesn't mean it's not in order.

    Oh wow, I'm being lectured by a f*cking cyclist. Let me laugh even harder.

    You have a PM.

    I use the 'highwalks' around London Wall/Barbican all the time, and I don't find them particularly grim or pointless. I'm fairly sure that the highwalk is the quickest and nicest route from Basinghall St to the Barbican centre (a route I take from time to time to visit Barbican Library during my lunch break). That's if it's open of course, which it wasn't today because of construction work. It's an interesting walk with a nice new garden in the section just after the steps from Basinghall St, and further on, after crossing the bridge over London Wall, an interesting statue of a minotaur replete with tumescent member.

    I'll have to watch the video later on to see how badly they failed to meet the original 'brief', but what remains is pretty interesting, quite pleasant and largely useful, given the general unsuitability for pedestrians of the roads they bypass.

    Edit: of course, this has naff-all to do with this proposal, just a tangent in which I have a passing interest...

    Just in case you missed it, the mods must have deleted the deserved response this got. Needless to say, I'm not going to bother repeating, as it'll be removed again, but it included an anagram of a pre norman conquest ruler..
