    I have fantasy nunchucks that I throw in the cyclists wheels. I suspect a well aimed rock or even a chop stick might have the desired effect. I have a worryingly large fantasy arsenal, I realise. Is it wrong to have fantasy chopsticks?

    I take a white board on a long stick to demos. It's great fun to make stuff up and respond to other placards as you go along.

    The answer to most things is to hit the 'unsubscribe' button.
    I am suspicious when spam gives me an unsubscribe button, but asks me to enter my email address to do so.. I expect they will identify me as a 'live one' in their list of auto-generated emails.

    Yes, I don't unsub spam, but if a genuine supplier is sending you nonsense, just click.

    There is a prat on a motorbike with false number plates that speeds down our road. (30mph limit) I usually yell "Organ Donor" at the top of my voice.  He will be sooner or later.

    Gosh, I go to work for a day and come back to 49 entries here! 
    On the subject of bikes, my son drives a white delivery van, all round the littles lanes around St. Ives To Penzance, whilst people are saving the planet on their bikes, he’s chugging along in second gear, pumping out exhaust fumes. Don’t mention bikes to him, he goes mad! 

    Melania, isn’t that a type of skin cancer? 🤭

    British humour on a British protest - love it !

    On one of the other topics, "Sky. Believe in better" makes me twitch.

     Better what?   That's the question I always ask that advert.

    I imagine there's a few people who will be nodding their heads as they read this.

    People who 'walk' their dog without taking their eyes off their phones.   They have no idea what their dog is doing.  They have no contact with it, no training , no nothing.   They don't see the rotten food that their dog just wolfed or the stink eye it's giving that other dog whose owner is desperately trying to distract him/her from wanting to fight.  They drive decent dog owners mad but act like they've been deeply insulted if anyone says anything.  Hate them to their bones.

    Horrible Avert Grammar is a whole thread unto itself. Why do Americans seem to hate adverbs?

    I have a hearing problem - especially when I don't use my hearing aids.  :/  
    They whizz through shopping malls - hell's grannies and grandads.
    They should have to take a test, be insured and licensed and the same goes for cyclists.
    The mobility juggernauts should have number plates and the cyclists should have their licence number on their helmet.
