Picking up the keys for my flat tomorrow evening! A trip to St. George's Park on Friday, then Saints at the Emirates on Saturday. It's all go!
I see Jeremy Vine's bicycle helmet camera video of the woman who developed a severe case of road-rage while following him has resulted in her arrest: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37277374 Have to say, by and large, as a cyclist, motorcyclist and 4 wheeler driver too, I find car drivers annoying some of the time, and it's because they're only trying to be nice. Honestly, they are just too damn polite half the time. I went out with the Southampton Ramblers on Sunday, on one of our occasional bicycle rides, starting from Sutton Scotney and roaming around a lot of miles and 3 pubs before coming back to the starting point. And in all that time not a single car driver cut us up, tooted in frustration, or pushed us out of the way. They were mostly a delight. But, with a country road as straight as.., and as wide as.., with me almost biking myself into the gutter in order to illustrate that I knew someone was there behind me, I still had to encourage several car drivers to overtake, by doing the wave-on hand gesture.There were no centre double white lines, yet still they reacted in a sloth-like manner. Bike riders want car drivers to get by fairly smartly so that we don't have to dabble with a verge or kerb for too long. You don't have to wait for the road to be a mile wide in order to give us sufficient room either. A couple of feet to a yard is absolutely fine. Don't worry, we really won't fall off just as you go by. I know car drivers are trying to be thoughtful, but really, just get by and go. I'll even wave and smile. Of course, in Jeremy's case, that was impossible. The woman should have waited. Guess she was giving berth or something.
My second favourite song of all time is Don't Stop Me Now, the third Bo Rhap. The first is actually Spandau Ballet, this much is true Freddy was the ultimate showman - for anyone under the age of 30 just go to YouTube to watch Queen at Live Aid (the first one!). Apparently they were past their prime then...no way. Freddy was a showman, Genius and fantastic singer. As Chilco said, thanks for the memories and I hope you are having a great time up there now all those other 80s legends have joined you recently. That is some party up there!
Just watched the highlights. Good race. Marquez getting bloody dangerous again. I like him, but not when he gets like that, which is still far too often. Vinales showing all his undoubted ability with Suzuki sorting themselves out; Crutchlow showing what he can do when he has a great bike under him, and Vale was just Vale. Shame about Iannone. I like him a lot but he should have had the hard tyres on. Next Sunday Missano.
Marquez's bike control is just sensational, but yes, as you say, he veers across that line of dangerous a little to often - particularly when it's Vale alongside him.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37283869 More BlackLivesMatter protests. "...racist climate crisis".
Well I don't think it's true of the protesters today, but the member of the movement interviewed in the article implies the location of the airport is racist.
The world's gone mad. The airport was opened 29 years ago, I wonder who lived there then? Did they somehow get delayed 30 years on the way there to protest?
I wouldn't give Marwell another penny if they still keep that white tiger in a very small cage. (About a dozen years ago now, but it was very wrong). I also remember many years ago seeing a polar bear in captivity on a television program. It had been kept so long in a small cage that when it eventually was transferred to somewhere much bigger, it used to pace up and down only the distance of its old cage.
Apparently it is because rich people fly and black people drown in the Mediterranean....according to one spokesman. Apparently all those refugees are coming here because of the climate crisis....so not because of war in the Middle East. There are issues worth protesting somewhere in there, but this group just have addled brains. I pity the poor policemen interviewing them....I would be banging my head on the table within 5 minutes.
Looked into this and all roads point back to a website called novaramedia.com a "news" outlet promoting "neoliberalism" run by career activists. The seem to be deeply wrapped up with BLM UK and at the Heathrow protest they were the first on the scene and happy to offer the footage to ITV news in exchange for a credit. Google the two together and the hits go hand in hand https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl...ter%22&start=0 Call me cynical, but it looks like there's a bit of the old self promotion through smoke and mirrors going on here.
People at work were discussing it today . Mind you I have not even started to watch breaking bad yet .
