I've only had emails (SPAM) from my missus, Penis Enlargement was the subject. I never opened any of thee. I got scared.
Should I ignore, get an anti-virus? Advise please.is she trying to say something??
just kidding.
i had my hotmail hacked a while back, i'm sure it was hacked because the spam email showed up in my sent list. so worth checking there

i received a reply from my mp today (sir malcolm Rifkind) reguarding an email i sent a few months back about a previous edm about the withdrawl of funding for the comercial veichle education unit (i.e. the unit who check for defective hgv's). he has received a reply from bo jo which he enclosed in the letter
i'm not gonna retype out the whole 2 page letter but to summarise:
- according to tfl research less than 1 in 20 cyclist deaths are as a result of a defective hgv.
*over a fifth are caused by lane changing/turning left.
*therefore the priority is the hgv's turning left/changing lanes.
they are gonna continute advocating the retro fitting of mirrors and safety sidebars, and rasing awareness of cyclists and drivers of undertaking on the inside.
there will be contractors (who they are isn't mentioned) who will continue some of their functions. (again not mentioned who/what)
*the MPS (met police) are apparently taking over the road side stops of hgv's for prosecution purposes and provide spot check and instruction to companies involved.
the rest is a bit waffley, but i can always scan a copy into a jpeg or something if people want.
i know this was a different, and older edm to the one mentioned here, but i didn't want to bring up the od thread, and even if it takes a while you can get a reply. the original thread is here

at the end of the day if your mp lobbies enough (or is a senior member of the tory party) they can get a response from the mayor

Full story can be found on the [Daily Mails](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1242362/Woman-driver-killed-cyclist-mother-freed-fainting-wheel.html) website.Excerpt:
“A woman driver who ran down and killed a cyclist with her luxury Range Rover walked free from court today after claiming she may have fainted at the wheel of her car.
Tracy Johnson, 35, escaped prosecution after her 4×4 vehicle mowed down mother of three Sharon Corless, 43, as she was out riding her bike with her husband.
The runaway Range Rover also ploughed into Mrs Corless’ husband Peter at up to 51mph before smashing into another car and then hitting a lamp-post on a roundabout.
After the crash Mrs Corless – described by her family as ‘the perfect mum’ – lay dying in the road, Johnson emerged from her £60,000 vehicle in a ‘shocked and dazed condition’ asking ‘what’s happened?’”

i got a letter, from my mp
"i share your desire to ensure the safety of cyclists is maintained. I do not beleive that an Early Day motion is the best way to draw attention to this issue. However i am writing to Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, to ask for his comments on the points raised by the motion itself.
i will be in touch as soon as i receive his response.
with kind regards and best wishes
Sir Malcolm Rifkind M.P.
in letter form too, as opposed to an email, will be interesting if i do get a follow up

pedestrain ushing a cyclist cos the ped had decided to run accross the road (wells street) as the traffic strated to move, the cyclist popped out (i.e. overtaking the van) and so the ped pushed his arms out and pushed the cyclist, (who stayed upright thankfully), and wondered off as if he was a saint for doing it, and seemed surprised that the cyclist gave him a wtf? look.
i would, although i'd prob say that i'd try and be grown up about it, i'd have done more..

Just got taught how to steal. I'm liking it as much as the first one. Haven't got to anything of noteworthiness yet, but it definitely shows promise.
My wife broke the router plug on monday so my achievements are not date stamped. For an achievement whore, that's most disappointing.
i had a mini heart attack yesterday, switched my xbox on, only to find zero gamerscore and no achivements.....
fucking corupted profile, luckily recovering my gamertag fro xbl saved everything :)

Something to do with Metal Gear?
I've been playing Tekken 6 lately which is fucken brilliant.
Was gonna buy MW2 but thought I'd rather wait til next month, spending £80 on games in one month is a bit much.
I should really get a HD for my Xbox too, using a tiny memory card as I got the arcade version, thought it would be cool as I'd only be playing GTA 4 and Skate 2. It didn't occur to me that I would eventually buy more games.
Finally getting on Xbox Live would be a good idea too...
if i get my arse in gear i might have (anoldish) 20 gb hd you could have v cheap, as my old xbox died out of warranty so i bought one with a bigger hd, and just need to figure out how to transfer stuff from one to the other
dodging traffic is against the highway code?????
