    Well done for successfully beating the 13,545 in 13,983,816 odds, which is 1,032-1.

    As you know St.G energy varies as a function of half of mass multiplied by velocity squared, which means by my calculation that an 80mph driver uses 31% more energy than a 70mph driver. Of course my bicycle cost £74 and it's still working, and my legs were free. Maths lesson over. :D

    Sadly it is a strange thing to do for many. If I can I will walk or cycle. I walked to Uni. I used to cycle to work or the gym. Save money and keep fit at the same time.

    I just had to walk for half an hour in the freezing wind coming back from training. Sometimes walking is the only option...

    I don't drive, so I walk regularly (granted, mostly to-and-from the train station but it's still a long walk). I've not once been stopped and offered a lift :(

    I'd hate to not be able to get on a tube without people staring and taking photos.

    That can't be him, he doesn't have the ridiculous blue scarf.

    I was down in Guildford a couple of weeks ago, and had the friendliest taxi driver ever. Maybe you just look intimidating or creepy.

    I recall a story from Rio Ferdinand. He got the train to training (look what I did there), and a woman was taking a picture of him from underneath her book.

    He noticed it and asked if she wanted a photo. All of a sudden she said she didn't, then he told her he wasn't angry and to have a photo.

    Got a fellow passenger to take it. I remember he said he doesn't mind people asking nicely, but don't just be sly and take one.

    The one time I've taken a taxi he was very friendly, just not friendly enough to offer me a lift. The prick.

    Israel is entering the war in Syria. Not entirely sure what this means, but **** is going down.

    Ever been to Shake Away? It's the best shop in the entire city of Guildford (along with Games Workshop).

    No, I can't say I've done much shopping in Guildford.

    It means that they will expect The USA to stand right beside them, because that's what the USA historically does. But it might not happen this time. Israel have always shouted Holocaust, and rightly so, but they don't do themselves any favours at all with the way they treat their neighbours. And for me, Netanyahu is almost a war monger, such is his zeal to react with military might.

    Shake Away and Games Workshop are not not restricted to Guildford you realise?

    I realised that about Games Workshop, didn't realise Shake Away was a chain.

    They might not be the cheapest things ever, but there's so many varieties!

    Blimey, I've just noticed [actually it's not true, I've noticed this quite a few times but never had the moment to change things] that this thread is 2219 posts long, including mine [or more if you're a quick poster]. So I'm wrapping it up shortly and starting another. So if you're just about to start typing, hang on a minute or two.
