My Top 5
Rule #5// Harden The **** Up
Rule #10// It never gets easier, you just go faster
Rule #12// The correct number of bikes to own is n+1
Rule #42// A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run
Rule #64// Cornering confidence increases with time and experience (This pattern continues until it falls sharply and suddenly.)

If only we lived in the land of "liberty" and "freedom".
Make sure you get plenty of others beneath you. Softens the landing should it all got a bit wrong.Quote:

Hell yeah.
Coach from Upper Grosvenor Road, Royal Tunbridge Wells (more or less outside my flat) all the way to Canary Wharf, just like my usual working days.
RMT - YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It did amuse me though. One of my friends on FB posted (unironically) I don't see what the trouble is with the Tube Strike, just fire all the trouble makers.
I replied, that's kinda what the problem is...
I'm amused by the headlines declaring the strike has caused widespread commuter disruption.
Surely it would be news if everyone just sort of got on with it.
You mean like when its "Civil servants go on one day strike - No one really notices"
That's the one.Quote:

That's true.
Particularly the smell.
And in other news.
44 days until the World Cup renders telly unwatchable, newspapers unreadable, and pub unenjoyable. What fun. :(
IDK, due to time differences won't we manage to largely get by with the TV undisrupted?

As for HS2, it might make getting to my parent's via train possible.
Plus a mate of mine owns a pub that will be opposite the B'ham central station so that would be good for him :)
It's a ridiculous waste of funds. It'd be better spent extending the M67 under the pennines.
You'd think.Quote:

M67 extension to M1 would cost at least £720million, this is if it were flat, tunneling and elevated sections would cost more.
Still less than the 2.1 billion, but it is only 24 miles not 119miles scale it up to the same length at it would come out at 3.5 billion.
Plust you know connecting Birmingham and London better would impact more people than connecting Manchester and Leeds
Not really. Twenty mins is neither here nor there for that. The fact it's quicker to travel to Birmingham than to somewhere a third of the distance away is a joke.
plus thats pocket change by comparison, and more people would use it than a rail connection.
£720m million is still a boat load of money.
Especially given the proximity of M62 and the amount of vehicles that that actuall carries.
Also everyone knows transport links go North/South not East/West.
alright heres a question for you guys.
Which disney film has the highest body count (both shown and implied)

Mulan maybe? She does kill almost the entire Hun army in an avalanche.
Tron.
Because reasons.
