Muley

Sheena Easton, who could ever forget her masterful cameo appearance in Miami Vice. But no, this chap was a titled Caucasian geezer.

Oh happy day! Welcome back HB, tho' this new enterprise of yours doesn't seem too far removed from your 'Evil Genius' tack of a while back. Anyways, I recall seeing this scrawny posh geezer somewhere between Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, and that got me to thinking...

Hi, thanks e-dealer, this is a really kind thought and is much appreciated, but really not necessary. I have an excellent solicitor representing me and the driver was so blatantly at fault that her insurance have admitted liability and are funding my rehabilitation at an excellent private rehab unit, and progress is good. There will also be compensation which the insurers will have to pay, so I just need to focus on recovery. Sorry for the intermittent posting- the physiotherapy sessions are pretty intense and exhausting!

Yeah Loz and NL, my logic may be a bit skewed. Thing is, I'm looking from the perspective of a cyclist hit by a car 12 weeks ago- entirely the drivers fault. While I'm now a tetraplegic, the police investigating the incident tell me the driver will get points and a nominal fine, at best. Hence my interest in the progress of the Bradley Wiggins incident.

There was no shortage of media coverage at the time quoting a witness- the driver pulled out of a petrol station forecourt on to the road and hit Wiggins. My point was how lenient sentences are for drivers who injure cyclists.

Has there been any news of the driver who hit Bradley Wiggins being prosecuted? I'd have thought she would be charged with driving without due care and attention- maximum penalty six points on the licence and a fine of ?600. Happily he's back in training but the penalty seems to bear no relation to the severity of the injury imposed on the cyclist by the driver.

Mmm, but since they closed that Target place on Lordship Lane it's so hard to get weapons of cat destruction

We seem to have been adopted, on a part-time basis, by a neighbours cat who now regards our back garden as his own personal territory. We're not remotely 'cat people' but the kids make a fuss of him, and even I've patted him on the odd occasion. BUT- this morning there was a god-awful row coming from the back of the house as a pair of blackbirds (who also regard our garden as theirs)sat on the fence squawking loudly at the cat as he lurked in the bushes. After 20 minutes the noise was so insistant and annoying that I went out and chased the cat away- three times, the third time with some cold water flung at him to emphasise the point, the obstinate little sod! Then, some 20 minutes later I go out the front to empty the bin, and there is the body of a female blackbird, still warm, placed very deliberately on the doormat right outside our front door. So, I don't know if this was a massive F*CK YOU! by the cat for preferring the birds over him, or an attempt to regain favour by bringing a 'present' (and if so, why?- he knows he doesn't live here and has a perfectly good, caring home of his own). In other words, next time he shows his furry little face around here should I just hoy a slipper at him or reach for a heavy blunt object...?

Lets see if we can turn the crows and the foxes against each other. Whichever side emerges victorious from that can take on the clowns. Divide and conquer...

Balsamic vinegar with strawberries is wrong, because one is a condiment and the other is a fruit, and they have no business tasting good together. But they do.

Hold on there northlondoner, I just commented that using the term 'brigade' to dismiss anyone who holds different opinions is supercilious, and to my mind this devalues the point being made. If you don't respect the views of others, why should they respect yours? The Daily Mail reader comment was just a joke. That's what my post was actually about, but of course only a vegetarian, bed-wetting househusband would be bothered about showing a little respect to others, no?

Splendid! there's a virtual red carpet being unfurled in the ED cyberspace to welcome his return.

Personally, I'm suspicious of anyone using the condescending term 'brigade' as a means to belittle those with opposing views, clearly meant to dismiss those who disagree as a mindless, herd-like collective whose values are without reason or intelligence. What are you, a Daily Mail reader?

And pandas. What a bunch of twats...

The snotty-sounding voice of the self service tills at Sainsburys, the one who orders you, with barely concealled impatience, to 'place the item in the bagging area' just after you've placed the item in the bagging area. Or 'please enter your PIN number, just after you've entered your PIN number. Or, best of all, 'please take your items'. Really? You think I should? OR DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD WASTE MY OWN TIME BY COMING INTO RETAIL HELL, PICKING OUT A RANDOM SELECTION OF ITEMS, LISTEN TO ALL YOUR BANAL FUCKWITTERY, PAY FOR IT ALL WITH MY OWN MONEY AND THEN LEAVE WITHOUT BOTHERING TO PICK UP THE STUFF I'VE JUST PAID FOR JUST SOD OFF YOU ARROGANT, SUPERCILIOUS VOICE-OVER TWAT!

Good point, but with the exception of my kids and, obviously, Frankito's dog! Although, on reflection, probably just Frankito's dog...

Stick with clowns, foxes and estate agents- you can't go wrong!

I'd have thought that a cheap jibe designed to avoid addressing the issue was more 'playground psychology', but still, probably best to leave it at that, eh?

No Frankito, not a random tangent, more a linear continuation of the topic- You made a condescending response to a previous post: 'That says more about you than anything else dear...' Yes- it says the poster doesn't like having dogs come near their kids, or the dogshit often left behind by selfish, irresponsible owners. My post referred to a similar experience, and the observation that many dog owners actually seem to be offended if others aren't similarly charmed by their pets and their behaviour. My only inference was that you may fall into this category, and perhaps get a little peeved that not everyone is a dog lover. Hence perspective, yes? Then again, maybe I just misunderstood your words 'I would love to see you drag my dog away, I would bite you myself..' and you fully respect the right of others to hold a different opinion* * Now that was ironic...
