Fackinell! That's a bit more serious than my thing this morning.

This morning I was behind a van approaching some lights. They went amber and so obviously the van driver put his foot down and got through on red. I stopped, but the Porsche driver behind me decided to shoot past me and through the red as well. Is there a way of reporting these things that does not involve the long and tedious police form? I got video.

Don't suppose anyone has a couple of these kicking about...?

Last night I witnessed a driver pull into a parking space then reverse straight into the car behind him. When he got out of the car his excuse was that there hadn't been any warning beeps that he was close.
Since he was driving a white Audi A3, I didn't have to waste time being surprised.

Not sure if it was about there being less traffic on the roads and drivers getting over-excited as a result, but I had two chumps to bestow with some salty oaths this morning. One close pass and immediate left turn and another pointless close pass squeezing me out the way. The latter driver must have problems with his neck as he couldn't do anything other than stare fixedly ahead when I passed him 20 seconds later and asked him what that was all about. At least the first guy had the decency to give me the finger.
And more evidence that smart car and BMW 4x4 drivers need an extended retest.

Blimey, the Meme Scrutiny Panel has taken it up a notch. It was just a sort of meme that was cracking me up, that wasn't a re (as far as I know). I'm going to have to run more stats next time.

Is there some pattern of stupid drivers in smart cars ? Some dopey twat just concluded that looking one way sufficed when pulling out of a side road. Bit faster and that would have got expensive. Luckily it remained at the "YOOOOOOOO FAAAAAAKIIIIINNN CAAAAAAANNNT!!!!!" level.

Bars all a fiver now

Price drops

On the way home tonight I saw a woman who had the temerity to be on a zebra crossing as some twat in a BMW approached. Driver leant on the horn but hadn't spotted the police car two cars back from him who duly put on the blues. Ahhh, it was sweet.

I received an email today which included a number of the usual clichés, but threw in a number of gems I had not had inflicted on me before: "data lake", "next generation influencing", "the bringing together of separately siloed expertise to drive greater impact", "leveraging our digital touch points".
I feel quite sick.

Nice one, will take a look

Any good deals on inner tubes knocking around right now? Broken glass seems to be very much de rigeur on my route...

I wonder if he has considered cycle training.

...provides some ammo in the old "you cyclists don't pay any road tax" argument, though there appears to be more tedious linking of vehicle excise duty and money spent on roads, which unless I am wrong is not currently the case, though it references future linking .

Scooter scrotes are actually looking to rob people of bicycles now? Jeez. I thought it was just stuff they could grab out of people's hands and other scooters.

Brooks bag for sale here- I think it was the Glenbrook model. It is in overall good condition except for damage to the rear of the bag as can be seen in the close up photo. Other than that it is perfectly serviceable and all fastenings and fittings work as they should.
