I was in Germany a couple of years ago and it was noticeable that there were hardly any cyclists without lights as darkness set in. On the general theme of cyclists and cycling, people just to need to have bit of respect on both sides. I do some cycling and you always get some sod who drives by so close and fast he risks my life, the roads aren't there for just the fastest vehicles. I drive up and down the M11 to work and its usually the twats in the high powered cars driving dangerously close to slow moving cars that cause most of problems. Every day one of them belts up the inside trying to cut just to cut ahead at risk of accident and injury to others. On the general theme of going to Germany, I had an uncle who went to Dresden once. He didn't stop mind. I nearly got run over by a cyclist walking home last night. He was riding on the pavement in the dark with no lights and didn't seem to care that I couldn't see him. I'm sure most cyclists are more kind and considerate to pedestrians than he was Vi I knocked one off his bike who did the same to me a while back before he had the chance to run into me. People with poor attitudes are everywhere. (him not me!)

I was out walking the dog and the cyclist was riding along the pavement and reading his phone at the same time. As he approached he was so intent on his phone that he didn't see a reckless telegraph pole step out in front of him. He went sprawling, the phone went bouncing and when he looked at me as I walked past I just muttered "That's a lesson learnt then?" Sam.

Riding on pavements gets my goat, or would do if I had one.
Some fat bloke came haring round a sharp corner almost into me.
I'm quite large and fairly resilient but he would have flattened a youngster.
They don't care and don't care about other stuff they do, they are just unpleasant people.

I regularly see young lads on the pavement with no lights, I feel like telling them to get some lights as they're putting themselves & others at risk but I know I'd just get ignored or told to eff off.
Last year at night I encountered someone on a bike coming towards me whilst on my bike, it was an old bloke riding on the wrong side of the road, he gave a weak 'sorry' as I swerved past him.
It's just occured to me that you seldom see cats eyes on roads, I presume they're no longer used.

Paul Di Resta referring to Daniel Ricciardo as “Danny Ric” I find to be very, very annoying

I came to this thread to mention the increase in 'relevant' advertising I seem to get more than ever on my internet searches. It takes over half the phone screen and I have to carefully scroll past it, trying not to accidentally touch the ad, or else it take me immediately to their site !
I searched Hamptons style furniture once. Now I'm doomed to see it forever !

Be thankful that it is furniture that you see. Here '"Hampton" has a different meaning all together as a slang terminology for the male 'appendage'. Sam
