I work in financial data and I recommend that you continue believing that.

so this was spotted today and is now a thing...
"Cyclists: The vehicle is owned and operated by passive aggressive whiners attempting to preserve their sense of ambulatory privilege"

This is amazing - the first sung line appears to be "So it seems/ I'm in the wrong place once again" which is remarkably appropriate!

It's OK for Orthodox Jews to be vigilanties but not Muslims it seems...
btw. No one should have any religious affiliation in policing any city. We might be CoE but I prefer my law to be agnostic.
That photo is about 5 minutes from my place. I learned what shomrim was about a month ago when one started following my Twitter account (for no reason since I very rarely use it). I also have my misgivings. Then again I have no idea of the extent of antisemitic crime in London, although I did once see a black kid screaming 'Hitler's coming!' repeatedly down the street at some hasidic types, before running away.
Similar to your point about vigilantism, a lot of people get their knickers in a twist about Islamic jurisprudence being used to settle civil disputes, divorce cases, etc - when Jewish law has been acceptable to this end since Victorian times. This is the origin of the 'they want their law over our law' belief subscribed to by that muslamic rayguns bloke.

Go to Germany.
Everything they put on their bikes is anti as fuck, and this is coming from me who's not arsed about looks.
Massive adjustable stems set to the highest angle possible
Butterlfy bars
Foam tubing grips
Aluminium balloon frames
Sprung seatposts
Huge padded plastic saddles
Those weird tinted plastic wheel covers that kind of function like an extension of the mudguardIsn't this just because all Germans are pensioners or something? Hence electro-bikes are massive business over there - there seems to be an electro-bike shop and a hearing aid fitter in every village.
The tinted plastic things are skirt guards.

Something about that gif's awfulness just made me create this... http://gifsound.com/?gif=i.imgur.com/b70Ag9D.jpg&v=WzzZl8FqhMY&s=17

Just saw a blood courier heading towards this incident, although agree with the others that it looked very bad indeed.
[edit]
Based upon the other news in the thread, I guess the courier was just a coincidence. RIP. -
Meh.

Every creak will sound like it comes from the BB area.Unless it sounds like it's coming from the stem.

I'm really interested in the 1950s/60s hammerite-like finish that you get on industrial and laboratory equipment. Seems to come in a blue and a verdegris green. Suspect that copper might be involved. Does anyone know what that is and where you can get it?

I remember meeting Tony Benn when he was marching with the miners in Chesterfield on May Day - I must've been 4 or 5 years old. A great man. I'm sad for the loss of him, but also that there seem to be so few of his ilk coming up through the party.

Horsetail is a bugger. Ground elder is causing us first world problems. I think I'll have to get the Roundup on it (although I do not like using chemicals).
You know that you can eat Ground Elder? It fell out of favour as a kitchen garden plant specifically because it was so vigorous and takes over.
Anyway, the glyphosate definitely worked well. Not sure if I got it all, but had it under control well enough that I'm confident I can wipe the bindweed out. It did seem to cause some problems to plants that were local to the one I targeted, so presumably once the poison is in the root of the plant that got dabbed, it can pass into the soil a bit. It breaks down in the soil but perhaps not quickly enough to avoid hurting surrounding plants a little - some yellowed and were weakened, but seemed to recover.
This year I have started by shovelling about a ton of manure onto the plot. It was too dry recently to wash the poopy goodness into the soil, so I dug it over last Sunday and was rewarded with a nice farmyard smell that filled the whole street the next morning. I hope to have really reinvigorated the soil for this year, as apart from beans and potatoes, last year was a bit of a washout (partly because I spent harvest time in Cuba, I guess). The missus is growing a tiny Fidel Castro in her tummy this year, so I guess I'm going to have to do most of the planting for once. Usually it's the best I can do not to just kill everything - my job is normally 'hole digger'.

A pedestrian steps out only 5 metres away from you. You're in a car doing 30 mph in a 30 mph zone. You brake but hit the pedestrian causing severe injury or death. Who's responsible? The pedestrian or the driver?
The driver is to blame. If they can see a pedestrian who is about to step out, or there are obstructions that occlude their visibility, these are to be considered hazards, and their speed and driving behaviour should be modified accordingly. Of course the last time anyone pays any attention to these sort of hazards is during the interactive video part of their theory test.

I couldn't believe it was still staggering about after that.
