I don't think you could persuade him to stop talking for long enough to drink 10 litres...

I believe he did it to relieve the symptoms of gingivitis, but the tragedy is that I doubt drinking all that water would have changed his hair colour anywayOriginally posted by zeitghostIn today's Metro there's an article about a chap who drank 10 litres of water in a day.
He died.

Soon no problem. Only government vehicles and public transport will be allowed inside the M25 BarrierOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostBring back Ringway 2!
The GLC also printed booklets about the proposed road, distributed widely in the area, trumpeting the wonderful traffic advantages of a motorway just behind your garden shed and detailing how the road would connect up with the GLC's other plans. The booklet's centrefold had two large glossy photos, showing "old and new", using the already-built A102(M) Blackwall Tunnel Approach Roads to demonstrate how Ringway 2 would move three 1960's lorries from a high street to a deserted motorway.

Bring back Ringway 2!Originally posted by ace00 View PostA lot of the problems on the north circular are down to bad design, where it goes from 3 to 2 lanes, and traffic light junctions where the smaller road could be bridged over.
And if you've seen the houses along the north circular then a compulsary purchase order would be doing them a favour.
South circular is another case as it is not a circular, just a bunch of regular roads classified together.

Compulsorily purchase all of the houses that line it and turn it into another M25? That'll be a vote-winner.

And FFS people, get rid of the M4 bus lane.
2) Fair point.
