Unfortunately, there are absolute tossers in all areas of life. My previous post was bashed out in a hurry, but I must say that what PinarelloFan said is right. If the driver is reported 'in-house', little may be done, but a report to the Met's Roadsafe website should mean that more serious action may be taken should the offender be flagged up repeatedly. I should also add that as an experienced cyclist/cycling instructor, I know that the key to being safe on the roads is respect and communication. If I, as a car driver, don't understand what the cyclist in front of me intends to do, esp. when they never even look behind to see what traffic situations are developing, it is hard not to start losing respect. Who is most vulnerable? Also, riding on the road requires responsibility and assertive road positioning. I also do not run red lights and deplore that habit, although I really believe some are ignorant and don't know the law. Cycling on pavements is illegal, no matter what age. Any adults requiring free confidence-boosting one-to-one cycling lessons should get in touch with the appropriate council's Cycling Officer. In Southwark you can also contact Cycling Instructor.com (no, I don't work for them!). But then there is Clarkes.....

I have just found this thread and am shocked (but maybe not that shocked...) to see how many other cyclists have felt themselves to be in a dangerous postion regarding Clarkes coaches in this area. They always race around in very powerful buses and have no regard for cyclists. Once I was forced out of the traffic stream on Grove Vale near Blackbird. I caught up with the driver at Denmark Hill station and had a go. Didn't do much else, though. He basically swore at me and said I was 'in the way' or something. i.e. I wasn't travelling a 30mph. Tossers. Something must be done.

Our Nokias experiencing bad reception on Orange too. Still bad this morning, service dropping out and then coming back for a minute before going again. Wonder what the issue is.

Mrs Mlteenie BTW - I keep getting told off for posting as him.

Cripes, I'm sure I know some of those people.........

It is illegal to plant a certain type (forget which) of rhodedendron in any part of the country because of its pervasiveness. However, I had a conversation with an RSPB chap in Dulwich park a few years ago about the parakeets and he said they cause no problems for indigenous birds. see here

Check Dulwich Paragon's website. There's a good 30 mile round trip (their Saturday morning ride).

I found two newts which proceeded to play dead but their beady little eyes gave them away. V cute little things with spotty orange tummies. Couple of frogs too.

another vote for Sema Thai here, lunch menu with starter, main and glass of wine for a tenner is a bloody good deal and the food is good IMO. OK it's not the Blue Elephant but neither is the price.

Train to London Bridge and then the Thames Clipper, it's fantastic - cheap, exhilerating and drops you right at the door.

Can't remember name - check the R4 website

my mate copped off with him one night, he's married right?

Check this out! Live plane action plenty planes up in that sky (mrs mlteenie/plane spotter)

Mine's on the toilet

A blackbird's distress/pissed off call is a very annoying constant tweeting, as opposed to their song which is lovely. If there is a blackbird nesting and a cat is lurking it will do its distress call constantly. Get over it, it's nature. Either that or get a shotgun.

Was wondering that myself Citizen

Has the owner asked for it back yet? Too much Daily Mail attitude going on here.

ust to go back to the person who wants to donate. You don't have to have a paypal account - you just use your plastic and paypal directs the payment to the forum.

Usually find of a Burn's supper that the meat-eaters want to tuck into the veggie one too....

I usually get my 5 year old girl to at least squat behind a car when she's caught short in the street. These kids honestly when will they learn to "make sure you go for a pee before you leave". Tiny bladders though at that age. Said 5 year old (who was 4 at the time) was caught short in a hire car in a traffic jam in the middle of Harlem, right outside the Apollo as it happens, after making her hold it until she was practically crying we had no choice but to let her piss in a tuppaware pot and then pour it out on to the road out the car door. LOL as they say.

you'll find that info on oyster website, I was looking the other day.

Louisa, I normally can't be bothered getting involved in your endless tedia, but you are simply a chronic troll.

You could try transposing it up a tone: Cmaj7 / Bm7 / D(add9) / Em7 / Bm7 / A / E D(add9) / A / Am / E / Bsus / Cmaj7 / Dsus This may be slightly easier as it avoids the Bbmaj7.

Hmmm. Just referred to the live version I have and I don't think it was ever gonna be a super simple one to play. I get: Bbmaj7 / Am7 / C9(no 3rd) / Dm7 / Am7 / G / D C(add9) / G / Gm / D / A7sus / Bbmaj7 / C7sus Most of that is not super complex, but if you're having problems with the Bmaj7 and Csus then it probably is! Sorry if that was absolutely no help.:)

I went in to the sorting office the other day and the guy on the counter said that RM is in chaos with a huge backlog of post. Special and Recorded are prioritised. I am waiting for four or five packages for up to two weeks now and basically the posties won't work overtime so the backlog will only be gradually reduced. We are all going to have to hang in there until the whole thing is resolved, only then discovering whether our parcels have actually gone missing or not. It is a pain.
