  2. yeah right!
  3. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei practicing their arguing and getting turned on by it in My Cousin Vinny The end of It's A Wonderful Life
  4. Yup, only a matter of time till we are not allowed to make any judgement, decisions or develop any common sense whatsoever. Hoorah!
  5. Um, anyone got a nice shot of the view from their house? (!)
  6. Brilliant thread. Fulham Margate* Peckham Rye * I know, I know. But it was nice when I was there! And no, I never knew Tracey Emin! I was there today though and the Turner Exhbition Centre is coming along nicely. It's massive!
  7. I wasn't being sarcastic - but I like to read the reasons behind people's (otherwise useless) simple stated points of view, "I think this"; "I think something different", etc. Your point of view now explained is useful to read so thanks.
  8. Thanks for that, but why not when evidence shows we're safer there?
  9. You may need to treat the pointing on the outside wall. But once inside, make sure in future there's plenty of ventilation - and use NoMoreMould Spray which I think I got from the local DIY shop to clean it down with, and/or a bleach cleaner.
  10. In Newham motorcycles are allowed and encouraged with the paintwork and signage to ride to the front bit at the lights with the cyclists. So there's no London-wide rules. You have to check the signs each time you cross a borough's borders. It's ridiculous.
  11. Sorry to ask but why is she so worried? I have lived in my flat 26 years and never been asked. And I'd consider it a duty. If I appear naive I apologise but if she has her faculties and - indeed - if she does fit the age criteria I would have thought her experience of life would be useful in coming to a decision as to whether to hang the scrote or not...
  12. 1st dude My missus was wondering if there's a bra shop in Nunhead. 2nd dude Evelina? 1st dude Well she's a bit on the stocky side but no need to be personal.
  13. Given the 'other' thread - a cycling proficiency (advanced) course? Protective clothing gear? Definitely protective gloves. You can get stuff from Metropolist at Vauxhall. Seriously - all cyclists should wear protective gloves.
  14. Yes! And I don't think buses should be allowed in bus lanes - but hey - we all live in the same world together!
  15. So do I! Idiots! But then I also have to be wary of car drivers taking their eye off the road as they look at the sat nav screens, or talking on mobiles, or putting on make up, changing the music etc. Anyway, bikes in bus lanes. Sensible idea. We must never forget to take responsibility for ourselves though and train to be the safest and best road users that we can be. Certainly the accidents I had when I was first a motorcyclist even after passing my test, I would not have now, as experience teaches you to 'see' what that other road user is likely to do. Testosterone of course can't be legislated against!

  16. fner fner Just hope his F stops work.
  17. 1st woman: "I live in a block of flats on Peckham Rye" The Cat: "Trent? Rother? Welland?" 1st Woman: "Well, yes it has been raining heavily but the rivers aren't that high".
  18. Ha! If MrPR could swing the camera round a bit tonight if it is as clear we'll try and get a shot of Wembley Arch!
  19. "Most of the people on scooters?" Statistics dear person. And no idea what else you're on about.
  20. Telephone Southwark Environment Dept 020 7525 2000 - and see if someone from the Call Centre can confirm my suggestion above! But it's what I'd do.
  21. Meanwhile - you could take it to the recycling depot at Manor Road off the Walworth Road by McDonalds. The far end towards Elephant, and Manor Road is on the left. No - don't dump it at McDonalds!
  22. TfL apparently suppressed a report that suggested motorbikes being allowed in bus lanes would NOT mean cyclists would get killed all day and every day. Livingstone - afraid of the cycling lobby backlash - chose not to report it. Boris (I did not vote for him) saw the report and said Motorbikes should go in TFL bus lanes. We - the biking lobby (Motorcycle Action Group and British Motorcycle Federation (and if you're bikers please become members)) - argued all bus lanes should let us in, in all of London as they do in Birmingham and Bristol and various councils around London (some Westminster roads and Richmond allow us in). But Southwark aren't hearing any of it. The TfL report was given to pedestrian and cycle groups and not biker groups! In actual fact a few more motorcyclists were injured, but it's a small rise and a short period of time. I suspect sometimes it happens when motorcyclists are riding up the bus lane and don't slow down when a left turn is approaching, knowing it is likely a car will turn left into it across the bus lane path without looking first. The report is too early too soon to make any real conclusions, but is contained within the link if you're really bored at work today! Motorcycle News Report Here is a link to my posting in Jan 09 with some useful links within it. Motorcycle Action Group The London Bikers
  23. Indeed! You can't tell how I stuck the photo to the screen or anything! The corners aren't peeling away ;) Come on peeps! Some of you have nice gardens! With cats and foxes playing. Look forward to seeing them.
  24. Here's ours. Taken this evening - 8 second exposure and the lights from the City are lighting up the moving cloud which explains why the cloud looks weird! Just had to share!
  25. Nice to meet you too. Are they asking for hard evidence to include things like punching someone's lights out when they can't get it across due to stroke, language barriers or something that they don't feel well? Or drawing a picture of a tree to show they'd like to go for a walk outside? Hope we hear more from you!
