The one who saw fit to flash his lights repeatedly because I braked sharply in the outside lane of a dual carriageway in front of him. Might have had something to do with the National Express coach that moves from lane 2 to 3 without indication. Clearly Mr Audi thinks I pop the back end out on dual carriageways for the hell of it.


The upside is that the tyres are being changed Tuesday any ways.

It's spring, you just need to get out of the traffic and take a nice ride through the countryside.

or even Stebel Nautilus but it's close enough for google.

They seem to be hard to come by these days. I had one and it only lasted 12 months. I couldn't find a replacement at a sensible price, so I replaced it with a blatant copy of the same design, which is still going.

Very good for dizzy London pedestrians.

Saying goodbye to 2 colleagues who are both leaving the UK. One will be back here in 6 months, tree other who I'm fond of is gone for good but I've just promised I'll visit him. He's moving to a very scenic part of South Africa and owns a few bikes there, and he's going to be living in a vineyard running a steak restaurant. It's not the worst offer I've had.

Sounds like an Org rideout LPH.

Now there's an idea for AR17

Stupid lycra cyclist not using the designated cycle lane and decides to ride in the middle of the lane and cause traffic problems.

People who come into work full of flu. Person I worked with in small shop came in yesterday coughing everywhere telling me how he hadn't been able to get out of bed for the last few days. Then spent 8 hours coughing and sneezing over me. Thanks for that, I'll be getting ill in the next few days too then.. plus I'm self emplyed so no sick pay.. he's basically just given me illness and cost me a few days wages. AAargh!

Same here, I hate those martyrs who will come into work and infect the rest of us - being in an underground office means there's pretty much no chance of avoiding bugs!

To be fair though, our sick policy at work has been tightened up so much that people are afraid to take time off ill for fear of disciplinary action
