I'm glad graveyards are hidden away because seeing those stones puts me off living.

Yes I'm the girl on the Plug with no sensible accoutrements. I had one of those days where you haven't spoken in a few hours and so my voice came out really hoarse and reedy and shamed me.

Good to see you anyway. I'll DAS/DATS (depending on your velocity)/RED! you next time...

The turning at the top of Brixton Hill is a nigthmare, twice this week I've had traffic turn across me and near misses. Caution definitely recommended.

[EDIT] after a quick Google I've discerned that Brixton Hill and Road are two different things, apols

@upstart - about six? I'm not sure what they were shouting about. I was waiting to get round a bus/slightly distracted by my first forum jersey spot.

Glasses, cap? Blue frame... maybe panniers?

Oh! And then about three minutes after that, a gent on what looked like a Pista with backwards drop bars (?) and a great handlebar moustache, going past the Furzedown on Mitcham Lane.

Finally spotting a forum jersey last night, I was ready to attempt my first ever DAS (on CS7, going through Balham). However, some youth types shouting at me confused me a bit, and then there never seemed to be a good time. What is the optimum time to DAS? When approaching lights? When in motion? Stationary? From very close behind their right ear? By post?

Then I got pinched off the road by some bint in a purple bubble car and my shouting at her shamed me into abandoning my attempt.

Back to lurking for me.

have you guise seen this already?

My only RLJ discussion with an overseer:

PoPo: Do you know what a red light means?
Me: Yes.
PoPo: Do you think it's safe to cycle through a pedestrian crossing while they are crossing.
Me: Not particularly, but they had a red light and I went as soon as my light changed to green. They shouldn't be crossing the road when their light is on red should they?
PoPo: No, they shouldn't, but it's very busy and they are trying to get to work.
Me: So am I, but I don't cross junctions on a red light to get there quicker. I've learnt my lesson, I'm sorry for your trouble.
PoPo: Don't let me catch you going through a red light again.
Me: You haven't, but I'll bear that in mind. Thank you officer.

My only interaction with mounted PoPo after an RLJ, Bishopsgate (she looked REALLY MAD):

PoPo: So you're *not *wearing a helmet and I just saw you skip that red light.
Me: Guh guh guh guh guh. I guh. I guh. I'm sorry.
PoPo: You've got headphones there too, I see. Do you always wear them while riding?
Me: Huh huh huh huh huh. Fffffffuck. Sorry.
PoPo: Good for keeping the noise out. Anyway, it's a fine just for the lack of a front light and skipping the red light.
Me: I ca I ca I ca ca ca. Oh Jesus.
PoPo: Are you OK?
Me: Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh. Huh.
PoPo: Er... go on then. This time. Be careful. Walk your bike to the Tube please.
Me: Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhheers then.

Sometimes a speech impediment comes in handy.

we were doing a lot of tipsy shrill noise about this in the Hand In Hand last night. moral of the story: going, and going with my lad gang at that.

[QUOTE=rhowe;2179315]"Oh, and get them councils in line" then I spied a green light and shot off across City Rd only to have a speedbump knock my sunglasses onto the ground. [QUOTE]

you are a prince. +1

SPOTTED yesterday: a guy in Marmite jersey on the Southbound commute over Waterloo bridge annoyed me no end by repeatedly overtaking (when I was waiting at lights) only to ride slower than me. I was this close to punching him in the back of the headwhen he hopped the red light at the Old Vic and was lost to view, adieu, fair stranger . . .

I've got some charge bullhorns? grips and all

PM me

rode behind me (light blue t-shirt, dark blue Plug, badminton rackets poking me in the head) all the way from stockwell to moorgate

next time i'll be brave enough to ask you for a race.
