Happy easter everyone, hope you are all FAT from eating too much chocolate!!

Me, I’m in work!

Great!!!!

My God! Transport seems to be a thread in its own right … Cyclists!

Just a quick one… (The stupidty of cyclists could go on for pages though!)

If I go through a green light, and a typical cyclist runs a red light (as they always do), and we collide (BTW: I ride a 700cc BMW Motorbike) due to the cyclist riding into me, can I claim?

He is not insured, but is considered a vehicle, therefore, he has run a red light; granted he’ll probably be dead (awwwwww) but I would want him to pay for the damage to my bike, as a car driver would have to do.

Legal people out there, where do I stand?

That said . . .

Cyclists, if you wantto be treated well on the road, then obey simple road laws, or you risk getting run over by some less than compassionate person, like myself.

Taxi Drivers!!!

YOU ARE NOT HIGHER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE DRIVING FOOD CHAIN:

1) You DO NOT hold a professional driving licence, you hold an ordinary car licence, deal with it.

2) You can use bus lanes, SO F*~#ING WELL STAY IN THEM.

3) None of us bloody care that you have a fare to go to.

Take all of this into consideration; now, if you are the dull lousing bastard that I kicked the door of your cab on today for almost killing me with your god awful driving (by the way, I was the person on the BIG yellow BMW motor bike, I was sort of hard to miss):

1) I hope it costs you a lot of your easily robbed money to get it repaired, because it’s a lovely big dent.

2) Retire!! You looked about 90 years old, your reactions are not good enough to drive any more so DON’T.

Thanks for listening,

Dave

PS – Indicators flash orange when you actually turn them on.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in an age…

Look!! Before you click play, I have to warn you that this track contains some language that some viewers WILL find offensive, so please don’t click play, unless you are not offended by nasty words!!

If you work for TfL on the London Underground, this isn’t me, it’s just a really funny song I found on youtube.com

Here’s the first one…

LONDON LITE, and all the other crappy free newspapers that pushed down your throat outside tube stations!!

a) Why can’t the people get to know faces, I get on at Great Portland Street every afternoon, every afternoon the same person tries to give me that damned paper, and everyday I nicely say “No, thanks”, and to be honest I’m getting bored with it (and to be honest, I don’t think the guy can understand a word of it anyway).

b) Why are they there!! London Underground recognise that litter (paper) is a huge fire risk on the tube, so get some kind of restraining order against them!!

Bye

I’ve done it…

Well I have done it, I’ve finally gone and got myself a blog! Well, here, I plan to write away my daily rants and gripes from work, life, and London in general. I’ll warn you in advance, that there maybe some nasty things said on here, so you should probably keep your kids away, unless of course you want them to be as cynical as Satan by the time they reach 30!!

Cheers

Dave
