    The council in Manchester installed some retractable bollards to stop people using bus lanes. It’s causing a bit of uproar with the public

    Keep an eye on the windscreen of the white van right at the end

    Stupid Cooonts haha they deserved it.

    Incidentally a lot pf places let motrbikes and taxis through bus lanes – bikes can fit between the bollards np but what about these endless amounts of taxis?

    Absoulutley no compassion here, they tried to do a sneaky one and tough shit. Bloke with the baby looks like he’d try and sue the council for damages typical middle class twat.

    p.s sorry I’m in a real shitty mood today. especially I’m one of the aformentioned middle class twats

    1. If you’re sat behind a bus in a strange town, you quite possibly will not have a view of any warning signs for stupid road hazards.
    2. Traditionally, all moving obstacles have traffic and warning lights associated with them – opening bridges, railway crossings, floating bridge boats etc etc etc.
    3. In a van making local deliveries, seatbelts are not required to be worn.

    I despair of traffic-planning, these days. You’ll rarely find a roundabout, for instance, that actually matches the guidance given in the Highway Code. The lanes merge and converge on the most unlikely lines and the most sensible lines are often blocked off with do-not-cross markings.

    People get away with having blue lights on their cars – blue being reserved solely for emergency services. Likewise with green and orange. All hazardous. What about red ones! Red is a tail-light colour for very obvious safety reasons. If ships and yachts and aircraft started being so fucking stupid, it’d be raining planes and we’d never see another ship arrive in any port without having been in a collision.

    People are fucking arseholes.

    Also, I have a secret plan for wankers with loud car stereos and noisy exhausts. There’s nothing quite like being woken at 2am by your teeth resonating to some shitty little biscuit-tin of a car* which breaks a) every known law on noise and b) shows how little you give a shit for the happiness of your neighbours and the rest of the worl… Anyway, you know those Christian fish badges..? One night I’m going to do them all with one of those each.

    And I came to work today, unawares that heavy rain was forecast. At home I have the ultimate in umbrellas (comfy handle, fibre-glass guaranteed frame, wind-proofing, so far unused. Grrrr.

    Awwwwww, I just love babies, but Jeez, if you’re stressed now before you have it god only knows how you’ll cope in 14 years when it turrns into a monosyllabic money-pit (I’m speaking from experience) The baby bit is the best, don’t stress or you’ll not be able to enjoy those early moments, and they’re the best!

    Oh, I was going to throw myself at your feet, but I’ve not got the energy to fight off the competition, so I’ll leave it for now 😉
