Sorry to hear about this. Heal up. Get checked out if you haven't already.

+1 medical report for any related insurance purposes useful let alone just to make sure your are fine too

hard luck, heal up fast and good luck getting appropriate insurance. Even if you cycle carefully and safely there is always risk it seems :-( - good effort telling the police what you thought of their justification for the "Sorry I didn't see you there" bollox

a male type banshee was spotted last night heading west from Kings Road to Putney around 6:30pm.

At the slightest hint of a car pulling out in front of him a huge shout would emenate from this cyclist. A car would be about to emerge from a side road and would nose out an inch to see what traffic was coming - cue a very loud bellow from from the male cyclist lasting several seconds as he whooshed past glaring at the car. He was on a on one frame i think with singlespeed and he had horns on his cycle helmet.

I cycled along behind to just enjoy the strangeness of this guys style. he was fond of loudly telling drivers off for being in the ASL box. I don't think he was as fast as the female banshee from reports but his presence on the road was something to behold

same goes for the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.. I can't imagine the Tories not having done the same

Perhaps, at the same time the only people who had all the evidence available were the Labour cabinet. It was their arguments that took us there. However, I think you are probably right that the Tories would have done the same, purely cos of the pressure from the yanks.

Don't get me wrong - the current government has gone law crazy and has stripped many civil liberties. I just don't think the current opposition wouldn't have done them themselves (and has done by voting in favour).

possibly, but the current opposition has stood up to 90 days, has stood up to expansion by stealth of the DNA database as well as other things like the use of RIPA and giving powers of surveillance (which were intended for serious law enforcement) to councils. I know that this is easier in opposition but I just think this Government has gone too far too often which is why I won't vote for them.

On top of that they have f*cked the public finances so we will be paying shedloads of tax to pay interest as opposed to spending it on front line services. Taxes will probably have to rise to pay off the debt whilst at the same time we will be expecting public services to be cut. Essentially the country has been moved to a position where we will be paying more for lessin the coming years imho.

Which of these do you have a problem with?

all this is rather nice, but this is also from the government that wanted to lock people up for 90 days without a trial, Has been rather suspicious in how it has reacted to reports of terror prisoners being sent to dodgy parts of the world to be tortured (extraordinary rendition), wanted to retain innocent people's DNA on the DNA database indefinitely and are just in my view extremely authoritarian in their outlook.

On top of this, the level of debt we are in which has paid for lots of nice things granted means that over the next 10 years the public finances will be hit which means that we will have lots less nice things regardless of which party gets in.

I know ...... I'm a c*nt

I'd happily play if you get a date sorted

great to hear positive news, injuries and ailments are horrible, hope your back on your bike soon and can put this whole episode behind you

very sad, hope that witnesses do come forward

I sent the link to my bro and he said he often has to ask his missus if he can call her back when she calls cos he is on a killstreak!

someone just sent me this. scarily close to the truth - http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/1484925978.html

JimboJ - My plans for my next bike are well formed in my mind. A road bike. Custom made titanium frame from Cyclefit - one of their Gliders. Compag Record or SuperRecord. All I need is improved economic performance and it will be mine.

If you build it they will come! (hipsters appear on your lawn)

Hi Clive, good to hear things sounding more positive. Perhaps a way of getting a cycling fix while laid up is to think about building a new bike project, sourcing parts, new frame and tools and putting all together? just a thought. Hope your on the road to recovery.

I had an awful thing happen that nearly ruined the wire for me. I really liked some of the music from the wire, especially solomon burke - fast train.

So stupidly i youtubed it and was listening to it, when I noticed a video link in the side saying "Jimmy Mcnulty's wake" . I spent the entireity of series 4 and 5 expecting Mcnulty to die and just watching for how and who might kill him. :-( FAIL

I like the bit where Avon and String have their last conversation before they both decide to F*ck eachother over. talking bout the old times and the game yo.

D'Angelo's face wound me up but the way he went out was a bit harsh.

yeah your right

I miss the wire. The battle between Stringer Bell and Avon Barksdale in series 2 I think was just some seriously sketchy shit. Amazing stuff.

This is Genius if ill advised. Cycling on the North Circ = very silly. Hats off for getting through it

Hello again to you sir. Good to see you. Pity about the traffic though.

yeah trafic was crap, motorcyclist that cut you up by pulling in to the cycling lane without looking in mirror or over the shoulder at lights by vauxhall bridge was a tw*t as well

ps good luck today hope it all goes well

I am beginning to wonder whether my buttock stands as a metaphor for the Iraq war: best not to intervene, however unpleasant current circumstances might be, if you are unclear as to the result that that intervention might have.

I think your bum is the battle of El Alamein.
