The Picnic Wasp

Supermarkets regularly changing their store layouts to coax a few measly extra quid out of our pockets. Makes life difficult for the elderly, disabled and visually impaired. Governments should be able to regulate this type of behaviour but they never will as more profits mean more taxes. Plus, staff are already overworked and must hate the process of carrying it out and then dealing with the inevitable customer direction probably on a minimum wage 20 hour contract.

Ouch, best of luck!

Got a bit complicated as the roots were difficult to pull and another stronger operative had to be called, got through it but now eating crisps will have to wait a week or so.

Jeremy Vine. On his show they've replayed the footage about a dozen times of yesterday's machete-wielding nutter being tasered.  Rightly, great praise is being given to the female police officer who deployed her taser while walking head on straight toward the perpetrator; what is being bizarrely overlooked is the other taser clearly activated from the side beforehand by a different officer just out of shot.

But this is typical of Vine being ineptly behind the curve on pretty much everything.

He's also a cycle fascist, trying to blame motorists at the first opportunity even when he is in the wrong. Knobhead

Trouble is, he's quite often right on the cycling.

Inadvertently kicking a door and breaking off a corner of my right big toenail. That's probably put paid to mu going out cycling and annoying motorists today  >:(

Both can be in the wrong at the same time (e.g. a recent incident involving a taxi doing the rounds); never known him to admit any culpability though.

I haven't seen one of his "wrong" cycling posts so far and I do follow him on Twitter. Will keep an eye out for one of those.

I had a lance armstrong wannabe berate me severely after I had stopped to allow an old gentleman to cross the road with his dog.  He went mental directly outside my house at about 8am last Saturday before taking off...of course I had to drive up to him and stop him whereupon he leaned his horrible helmeted head into my window all sweaty and red and telling me I had stopped to put my seatbelt on. 

Thing is, he couldn't see the old man as he was obscured by a parked car - there's a chance he could have taken him out id id not stopped.

There's just as many arseholes riding bikes as there is driving cars - but cyclists just seem that much more sanctimonious.  Prick.

As a cyclist, I know for a fact that there are more arseholes driving cars. When I'm a driver I know for a fact that there are more arseholes driving cars. Horse riders tend to be arseholes too.

Of course cyclists are sanctimonious, we're better for the environment :) Drivists have much more of a tendency to be Psycopathic.
