    Ah. There was a character called Travis in Paris, Texas too.

    Wim Wenders.

    What, girls' nights out, dancing round handbags and the like?

    You need to cycle to work to sort out your knee.

    Richmond park was particularly pleasant this morning, with a large group of Red Deer grazing by the side of the road as I went past.
    Last night was great. Fire in Lewisham. I cycled past 8 miles of almost stationary traffic.

    Sounds nice. I often cycle myself, got a bickled rear wheel at the moment though.

    That's terrible. For that length of journey she should have been using a 4x4 at least!

    Some years ago when I contracted in B’ham. I was walking to client co from the B&B. I passed a mum who loaded up her kids in the MPV, 500 yards up the road she stopped at the school and dropped them off.

These women will run down a pedestrian rather than give them an inch of ground at crossings. They will even block the pedestrian crossings to be right on the bumper of the car in front.

    Oddly it is white van man who drives properly on the road.
    WHS

    The number of twats who drive at more than 30 past our local school in the morning amazes me. Aggressive twattish driving surrounded by people walking kids to school.

    Luckily they're putting in speed bumps soon.
