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...

    • what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
