I have seen chaps reading papers/maps/books whilst driving. It would be so good if they could prang their cars really badly without hurting anyone else.

A totally separate entry for Curmudgeons Corner coming up. There is a wide cycle way almost all the way from where I live to the centre of town. Why do so many muppets on bikes still insist on riding on the road? They whinge and belly ache about it being unsafe on the roads, demand better infrastructure and then don't %^&$*£% well use it.
Where I used to live there was a long road with houses most of it's length, which had an unusable cycle lane on the edge of the road next to the footpath. Completely useless, because residents were allowed to park their cars in it, so you couldn't cycle in it, unless you really liked weaving from side to side.
And what's the point of those signs that are sometimes placed at the roadside ."Cyclists dismount"? What are we supposed to do next? Abandon the bike in the middle of the road and complete our journey on foot? One could comply with the sign by dismounting, and then getting straight back on and cycling onward. I've never seen a sign saying "Cyclists may now remount" so how far are we supposed to walk, having dismounted in obedience to the sign?
Another new topic:. Does anyone ever use the wool cycle of their washing machine? Does it work? I've just used mine for the first time, because the load included a new, soft, fluffy garment of unknown fibre content. The machine washed so gently that half the clothes didn't even get wet! They came out wet and dry in patches. I handwashed the fluffy thing and put the rest back in on my usual synthetics cycle.
Signs. I’m amused by those ‘Thank you for not smoking’ signs. What about all the other things we might be thanked for not doing - expectorating, blaspheming, shoplifting, fornicating?
Ok chaps. I can't yet work out if curmudgeonly because I don't understand. There's this advert that I don't get. It looks dystopic to me but maybe that's because I don't get it Anyway, it's the one on the train where everyone is looking at their phones except this one bloke who has a melt down What are they advertising? Do I need it? Is it some protest agin those technological morts?
so relieved I am not the only technophobe, absolutely loved the video, I had a woman am guessing about 20 walk straight out in front of me (driving) yesterday on her blasted phone, I tooted, she caught up with me at the traffic lights, gave me a right mouthfull, and did the self same thing just after I had gone through the lights. Here what *****s me of, is the cyclists that insist on cycling on the pavement a couple of roads away where there are cycle tracks, norrowling missing me and or my dogs, I usually say "wont your Mummy allow you to ride on the road", you can imagine what they say to me!!!
