  1. The building survey should tell you that. I think our two bedroom one was no more than ?100k
  2. ...jump you f#cker, jump...
  3. Can you put me on the list. thanks
  4. I?ve seen drivers overtake stationary vehicles on the stop line at a red light, go around the wrong side of the splitter island to jump the light, just to get as quickly as possible to the next queue of traffic.
  5. I hate people who drive through red lights, selfish f#ckers. All the intergreens are having to be increased (the time between one light going red and the next one going green) to give a larger safety period to accommodate these w@nkers so they don?t cause some hideous accident. What it means to you and I is more queuing and waiting at traffic lights... unless you jump the lights

They don't want traffic bombing through especially as there are zebra crossings on the arms..at a guess
  7. I think you mean they?ve added a defection into roundabout to slow vehicles on the approach. Not good on this roundabout owing to its size, as rightly said by someone above is that cycles and motorcyclists get squeezed between vehicles and the buildout used to create the deflection. Southwark under best practice should have undertaken a road safety audit (ask for it). There isn?t a mandatory requirement to do these on local roads only on highways agency roads but knowing Southwark they would have done one.
  8. My mum had an indian Runner duck that kept her garden clear of slugs and snails and as an added benefit she got lovely fresh duck eggs to eat...that was until next doors cat killed the duck.
  9. I was thinking of this as an option of changing the priority of traffic on Lordship Lane and providing an uncontrolled crossing with pedestrian refuge island at the new junction.
  10. I requested the accident statistics for this junction last time we talked about this issue. There is no real collision problem recorded at this junction and therefore will not be on the council?s road safety action list. Your best bet is to hassle your local councillor so see if they can force something through and get some money out a non-road safety budget.
  11. RIP as easy as 123
  12. How can I be hungry! I ate enough curry to sink a battleship
  13. You should have introduced him to his hand - a match made in heaven as he sounds a right w?.
  14. Bluetooth: that is a good idea! my name is Shitheap
  15. http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/01/17/lead_napoleon_dynamite_0509121152_wideweb__375x500.jpg This should give you an idea. ps I'll have your share.
  16. Are you a makeup artist? Would be a bummer if the photo was of a white lady and you're a black lady!
  17. I can make it tonight. Will there be room for me? Keep an eye out for me in the EDT from 7.30. I?m 6?3? early 30s and look like I need to eat more (hence the curry). I?ll be looking awkward and gangly.
  18. My ex is a teacher. She worked in a state school where every room had CCTV. A laptop was stolen, the CCTV was examined and the culprit identified. However, nothing was done about it as the headteacher decided that he didn?t want to give the school a bad name! The thief wasn?t even told in passing that they knew it was him.
  19. In Microsoft Word when you default the language to English (British) it still keeps English (American) there and will jump back to it when you least expect it as if you haven?t made the right choice. Yankers!
  20. I asked the same question when i joined back in april asking how I would spot anyone. Sean put a link with lots of photos from previous meet-ups. I think it was in the May drinks thread. I'm hoping to come tonight (if thats ok that is!) I just can't confirm to this afternoon.
  21. It looks like we could learn a thing or two here. (all expenses paid trip for someone at TfL i bet) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8102621.stm
  22. Half my team are out surveying the routes for the majors? new cycle super highway schemes today. I can?t wait to see how watered down and pathetic they will end up after the big media spin! They will end up as a few blue signs, some coloured surface course and some white lining as ultimately it seems in this country that one person in a car is more important than one person on a push bike. This website has some great examples of bad cycle infrastructure! http://www.warringtoncyclecampaign.co.uk/facility-of-the-month/
  23. I?m sure I heard a steam train last night about 11pm. Anyone else?
  24. Depends what you want to do. Take the shortest route as the crow flies and sit in traffic and be delayed by endless sets of traffic lights. Once you?re through Blackwall. There is one set of traffic lights for the A13 then that is it. You?re doing 40mph by Mile End and 50mph by Stratford on two and three lane dual carriageways. I know its longer but there is nothing more frustrating than not moving I prefer to be moving! The best I?ve ever got to the M25 is 30 mins from Peckham Rye Park. Yes, sat nav is shite
