the van driver got all he deserved he didn’t have the patience to wait to see if the cyclist was going right and also left no room incase the cyclist had to avoid anything or stumbled if he stopped

he then proceeded to block him behind a parked car as well as cutting him up on the corner

i have cycled most of my life , motor cycled for ten years , driven vans , trucks , cars ( up to ferraris and bentleys )

but the drop in driving standards over the last ten years now makes our streets like downtown bombay

of course not all cyclists are perfect

but in an average week of cycling i know to expect ( even obeying road rules ) at least two or three near misses a week

and i have had two collisions in six months both caused by knob nuts reversing into a main road without looking for cars let alone cyclists

i have also spent six months on crutches because retards fill up with too much diesel then tip it out on the roads surface

cars turning left when you are going straight on because they cannot miss 2 seconds of thier time they decide they’ll squeeze in front

i cheerfully left a bare metal stripe down a bmw and rode off if he hasn’t got the manners , courtessy , and driving skill to wait that two seconds maybe a £2000 paint job will make him think next time

the same applied in trucks most car drivers have only ever taken a car test and have never cycled or motor cycled

so have very little comprehension of other road users or thier vehicles behaviour traits

drive a truck for two weeks or ride a bike for the same you will then discover how abysmal uk car and van drivers are

If we are talking about present day comedians from this side of the pond, I would put John Bishop and Ardal O’Hanlon on the list.

Deffinately not a fan of Michael McIntyre or Peter Kay – just find their stuff too tame and overrated.

pheonix nights and max and paddy were superb !!! , however live and after max and paddy he’s been dire the only giggle in that brittainns got the x factor etc was two up two down ( the able boddied and dissabled singers )

i live round the corner from him only had one encounter he was shouting and cursing at kids because they took his picture on a mobile phone as he was going into a local restraunt at the end of my sisters street

so not someone i’d particularly like to meet

Ah, but do you know what his other claim to fame was?

i know but i’ll observe others giving it a shot

lee mack in not going out also funny as stand up

rich hall is another of the few american commedians i apreciate

seth mcfarlane ( family guy writer and voices ) a rare side splittingly funny american

if we went female mirranda hart is hilarious ( and strangely attractive )

as is victoria wood ( but hey that’s a difrent subject )

the death penalty doesn’t realy work as mentioned murders are still commited in countries that have it !!

not to mention that it is nowadays more expensive than a life ( meaning life )sentence as there is the added costs of appeals , reviews etc etc

caning isn’t the answer either it didn’t worry me a jot at school in fact if anything you compared teachers techniques

ironicaly the most fearsome at our school was a female english teacher

if you got caned by her and didn’t yelp you were tough ( i drew blood from my tongue , but yelp i didn’t ) although with hindsight two injuries wasn’t the best plan of action

the real trouble we face is no one is accountable for actions anymore

parents don’t follow up letters from school as thier little johnny is perfect so the school can ******* off !!

we have crimminals in local and national government that no matter how you dress it up were thieving from tax payers

these people are in charge so have to be whiter than white

hazel blears ( m.p. for salford ) was blatantly laughing about it and people were stupid enough to vote the thieving scumbag in again

then the people in this country are so dim they attack an m.p. for claiming cycle expenses of about 40 quid for cycling everywhere for bicycle maintainance

but mention nothing about those claiming for car travel

the trouble is we are in a country where you get away with murder if you are a criminal

in fact you would probably be a pilar of the community

but if you are honnest law abiding and working they can’t wait to slap you with speeding , parking etc etc fines or other unfair taxes

charlie williams was brilliant , he had a good face for commedy too

you were on your way to chuckling before he even said anything !!

A smug “one hit” wonder, every time I see him I am convined he is playing himself as any character he plays seem to merge into one, even the Pidgeon he voiced in “valiant”.

the dull boring monotonus voice gets me , the NHS could save a fortune on sleeping pills !!
