I think they're done, right?

Ah fair enough, that explains it!

Wouldn't worry about the bank account stuff, who are you with? I'm with Natwest and the graduate account is awesome. They usually change you over from a student account to graduate in the October after you graduate, and for 1 year you maintain the same overdraft limit (interest free), then the year after that the limit is a bit lower, then the year after a bit lower still. If you've not heard from them, they won't change anything.

Weird, I'd have thought I'd have seen him down Lidl by now, I've been here over 3 years.

You know where it says "Ben's house", is that your house Ben? Because you appear to live about 3 streets over from me haha.

Thermostat says 27C. Gonna be fun trying to sleep tonight... I HATE summer. It's too hot and too bright and it keeps giving me bloody migraines. I like autumn, let's have that one please.

I think it might look a bit gay.

Go out of the flat, turn left, find the first group of pretty ladies, "Hello to you, I am English don't you know, any idea where I can get some decent tea and scones?". They will show you the way. ---- In angry news, I went to bed early so I could get lots of sleep, and turned the alarm off so I could have a lie in. I usually get up at 5:15am every day, slept right through until 5:30am this morning! Still knackerd. Bloody heat.

No, I can't. He is the one of the best white rappers. Still wouldn't pay money to watch him at it though.

Call the wedding off, that shit is inexcusable! Hayley is a nice girl, she doesn't deserve to marry an bloody Eminem fan.

Girlfriend is working late tonight so I'm enjoying some noisy time.

Aye tis all off. I don't shave very often, but when I do, I do it properly!

I remembered seeing a discussion on here the other day about whether getting shampoo on your dick was bad, and I can confirm that snorting shaving foam is worse.

I got Argentina and Netherlands in the sweepstake at work, and the way we've worked it is that 1st, 2nd and 3rd places win money, so I'm pretty happy at the moment.

So to sum up the last couple of pages, all people are dicks?

Haha, I would imagine she didn't to it again in a hurry. Yeh I tend to enjoy discussing this sort of stuff, helps me improve as a motorist. Maybe one day we should cover filtering on a motorbik ve and how to go about it. Always a hot topic.

Well again, I guess the fact that I've only ever ridden motorbikes and never driven a car on the road is going to effect my view, as I almost never have to stop and wait for traffic to pass, the gaps are usually big enough to get through safely. Personally though if I'd run a kid over and I could have avoided it by either waiting or just giving more room, then it'd haunt me. If you're mentally tough enough to get over it then great, but I certainly couldn't. I couldn't give a toss about "fault", fact is if you run someone down when they pop out from behind a parked car, you can avoid it, and I'd always choose to. Call me selfish but if it's a choice between other people being a few seconds late to work or me having to live with hitting someone, you can be late for all I care. Anyway, 1 girl in many years (10?) of being a road user isn't bad going really, so you're clearly doing something right. Carry on.

My point boils down to the fact that most people are stupid, whether they're driving cars, pedestrians, 3 year olds or cyclists. I couldn't give a f**k about the reasoning behind them darting out in front of me, I just don't want to have anyone's death/injury on my conscience when I could so easily have just been further away from them.

I guess this just comes from learning to ride bikes, but for me avoiding crashes at all costs is more important than making progress. I'll just filter past you all anyway at the next set of lights. A 20mph impact with an open door in a car would result in a scratched bumper, whereas on a bike it can result in broken bones. Same with hitting a child, if a car hit's a kid at 20mph they'll generally walk away, whereas if they are hit by a motorbike they generally get run over and break many things. Problem with the whole "child that hasn't been educated" bit is that young children are daft and hard to teach things. WHen the kid darted out on me he was about 2/3 years old and it looked like he'd managed to dart away from his Mum at the wrong moment. The only solution there would be to keep him on a lead, which isn't very nice really...

Is it f**k! 2 feet is not enough space for a door to open, or a child to run out, or to extend your view between the cars. I've had a child run out on me and doors open more than once, and if I'd been 2 feet away I think I'd have hit them. Definitely would have run the kid over. As it was, I'm nearly always 4-6 feet away, and managed to swerve to avoid the kid and don't really have to swerve to avoid doors opening. Simply not going to change my mind on this, I've had too many close calls and managed to avoid them all through keeping my distance from people.

See how tight the car went to the parked car at the beginning to avoid hitting the cyclist? Clearly not enough room there. Fair enough you don't give way in similar situations, but I don't believe at all that you would push through there. I think the wide angle lens makes it look like there was more room than there was as well. I was always taught to leave enough room when passing parked cars so that someone could open a door and not hit you, in that video the car was less than 2 feet away.

One thing that always makes me laugh about those videos is that the cyclists are always so civilised about it! "Excuse me young sir, but your lane was blocked, and it was my right of way." I always expect more smashing doors in screaming "WHO GIVES A F**K ABOUT RIGHT OF WAY YOU TWAT?! YOU TRIED TO F**KING KILL ME!". I think I might buy my Dad a helmet cam for Christmas, the results would be comical. He's turned round and sprinted uphill on a tandem with me on before just to chase after some douchebag.

Reminded me of this.

I'd stick it for a week or two until you're settled at Halfords, but then definitely jack it in. Life is too short to do a job you hate IMO. Don't worry about the tax thing, it's a common myth. You get taxed at a set rate, and you don't appear to do enough hours to pay any tax. If you end up overpaying they'll refund you at the end of the tax year anyway.

Managed to avoid all the lycrasexuals doing their retarded Le Tour De Yorkshire today, despite half of Sheffield being closed for it. Apparently they shut access to the M1! f**king mental. People were having to go via Rotherham just to get off the motorway. Still, at least it wasn't handled as badly as the half marathon...
