You amble up to the pedestrian crossing and I stop, because i'm preempting your move, even though you're not paying attention. And then you amble slowly-slowly without looking, whilst poking your phone screen, taking your time, you looking up and then carrying on, all slowly-slowly


Oh yeah, just so you know, i've mentally dumped the clutch and poked the throttle to run you over


Same goes for you riding wrong way up the one way street, your brake free bike with the cut-down handlebars


And you 'militant pedestrian' stepping off the kerb way before the zebra crossing, with that defiant "run me over on a crossing would you look"

Yep, you're over the bonnet too

Are you referring to your buggy (the type that occassionally transports young children or even shopping, sometimes the odd pair of shoes) driving skills/mentality?

In that instance Al, they'll just get a light sideswiping, to liven them up and knock the silly grin off their faces

Wow, disturbing - Are there any particular roads where you are planning your reign of terror? Just so I know to avoid them on my fixed gear bike with the shortened handlebars... and my silly grin because I was daft enough to choose an enjoyable mode of transport...

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
