Just interested to see whether anyone had any run ins with a pretty funny looking Scandinavian/German chap on Charing Cross road yesterday afternoon. He was wearing a tight red vest and the tighest denim shorts I've ever seen, (basically doing his best to look like Bruno). First saw him in Caffe Nero up near Tott. Court Road, drunk, eating Sainsburys food and drinking their tap water until he was thrown out for not buying anything.

Then as I was pushing my bike across to a cashpoint he came up to me and started telling me how he was a lorry driver, how drunk he was and how riding a road bike in London was suicide, that I should get public transport, get on the tube and leave the road to him so he could drive his lorry! Obviously, (I hope) he was off duty. Anyway, I told him where to get off, said I had as much right to be on the road as him and carried on. He just mumbled some rubbish and walked off, looking like he was on a mission for either a) another drink or b) to piss off more cyclists. Anyone else cross paths with this nutter?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
