This is compounded by the staff who just let them get away with it. At one station the other day, no fewer than four staff stood around chatting whilst a group of fare dodgers went through - when I pointed this out to the staff they just shrugged as if to say 'beyond my pay grade, mate.' |  | |  |

With the ever increasing threat of being knifed, it’s not their problem and I don’t blame them. Employ properly trained and equipped people to do it. But they won’t. |  | |  |

‘This is compounded by the staff who just let them get away with it‘ Used to be one of those people 20 years ago. We were told not to even then. A guy at Lancaster Gate got stabbed in the eye for his trouble. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-30985393.amp [Post edited 5 Apr 23:20]

Early in the weekend mornings, while young and old try to grab some well-earned sleep, here they come, through villages and lonely lanes, shouting at the top of their fúcking voices. You're going at two miles per hour, ye tubby lycra langers. Why in the name of God are you shouting to each other? |  |

Got a pint, sat down contemplating my sad life. etc Then, surrounded by heavies, asked to leave. I asked to see the manager. He says, 'you're drunk'. I asked' where's the evidence that I'm drunk?' Abusive? |Disorderly? He says 'you're slurring your words' Out. I swear on my mother's grave this is true. I'm gobsmacked. What's going on? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I saw something on YouTube yesterday that annoyed and yet, ultimately amused: A three minute advert for the new Oasis+Adidas clothing range. We're probably all of a similar view on this being a blatent case of selling out/cashing in. However, what had me laughing at the brats from Burnage is the fact that our kid is over 50 and the older our kid is nearing 60, both trying to look mean and moody, and achieving neither. Annoying pair of pricks! |  |

Random irritations.. on 10:24 - Aug 19 with 1457 views | Juzzie | Sorry (not sorry) for bringing up this much discussed topic again but yes, it’s them pesky colourblind cyclists again….. About to cross a pelican crossing yesterday, as it was bleeping, with my two kids and three cyclists had no intention of stopping so I told the kids to stay on the pavement as I stepped out. First cyclist whizzed straight through the red light so I shouted at him. Insincere ‘sorry’ came back. Second cyclist came to an abrupt stop as he realised he couldn’t jump the light that he was about to. Third cyclist who wasn’t even watching what was going on went into the back of the stopped cyclist and faced palmed the road. I didn’t swear as my kids were with me but I said to both of them as they gathered themselves “when are you cyclists going to stop going through red lights?” It really is out of control and I have to enforce the point to my kids that even though the green man/person may show it’s ok to cross, you still have to check it’s safe to do so (such is the situation with utter cnts in all kinds of vehicles jumping red lights). People should feel safe crossing the road in designated places. |  | |  |

As I’ve mentioned before, my daughter was run over by a bike after the opening day beating by Swansea in 2012, a week later I was on the strand with my son, pressed the button, man went green, bike approaching at top speed, I could see he wasn't going to stop so I cloth lined the fúcker. Didn’t hang about for the consequences. |  |

City of London police conduct a huge operation every couple of months at different locations in and pulled in hundreds the other week at Aldgate for jumping the lights. Very satisfying to watch. We still need people to cycle and walk more in London though. |  | |  |
Random irritations.. on 13:09 - Aug 19 with 1198 views | Superhoop83 | On the subject of pelican crossings, I can't stand it when pedestrians press the button automatically on arrival at the crossing, without checking the road first and seeing whether they actually need to press the fcuking button. I understand it if you're with young children, but even then there might be no cars within 500 yards, so why not have a look first? It won't take long, I promise. |  |

Random irritations.. on 13:43 - Aug 19 with 1104 views | PlanetHonneywood | Jussie and Loftboy: joint winners of the internet today! Had a coming together with a bloke hurtling along the Grand Union Canal a while back. It afforded great delight watching him pick himself, his bike, and bag out of the water. I don't doubt many ignorant motorists have caused injury and worse to cyclists down the years, but it should result in cyclists being exemplars of good road manners if they want to be treated fairly...or avoid a haymaker from an aggrieved Rfosi! |  |

Absolutely in favour of cycling and walking but both of these are carried out by people who don't give a fk, in their thousands. Cyclists doing what we've all commented about, pedestrians walking out into the middle of the road gawping at their phone and/or headphones on. Driving along Pancras Road in between St Pancras & Kings Cross stations is a nightmare. Police everywhere some days but they are anti-terrorism teams and not looking out for hordes of stupid travelling people all wandering across the road let alone taxi's/minicabs all over the place. I know the law has changed that the bigger the vehicle, the more you have to look out for those below you in the order of vulnerability but all it's done is make people think "hmmppph, well, it's THEIR responsibility to look out for ME." The entitlement of it is off the scale. People happy and willing to put their life in the hands of strangers because they feel oh so righteous about it. Well, being in the right is not much consolation if you're in a hospital or worse, a morgue. When will this 'click' in people's heads.... when they get hurt themselves? when a friend or family member get's hurt? Too late then maybe especially if its terminal. Fk that, I'm not trusting anyone. I look out for myself and teach my kids to do the same. Every time someone gets killed, there's a big who-har all over the news then it all quietens down again, nothing changes or is done about it and we just wait to hear about the next person to get maimed. |  | |  |
