Fierce and Focused Fleecy
I sighed and tutted at a line of dickwad drivers in front of me today overtaking a cyclist on a blind bend up a hill with double lines. What the fuck they would have done if there’d been a car coming the other way, who knows. Still, they didn’t have to wait for 15 whole seconds till they could see what was round the bend.

I usually have to stop for ponies on a particular road in the New Forest but today it was an old lady with a stick and a pooch on a lead taking up the whole of my side of the road when there was a perfectly wide grass verge she could have been walking on.

There's an elderly lady (who appear to have Tourettes, but she's definitely of Far Eastern origin so I don't know what she's actually shouting at people!) who regularly walks (slowly, veering gently from side to side) along a cycle route in York with her walking stick across her back (side to side) and holding it in place with both elbows. As a result she takes up the width of at least 3 people - and the shared cycle path isn't that wide!
I don't know why she has the stick....

Regularly do, D2. She's not used it for that, at least!

This:
Arrive back at pub at 8:30 after trail run.
Give husband my debit card to get drinks while I go to the loo.
Emerge from loo. He is deep in conversation outside with his pint. My requested tea will be inside.
Go inside, find tea, sit and drink tea.
20 mins later, lady comes out and puts plate of food in front of me. I say not mine, she looks confused and says there must be someone else with a pot of tea. She goes off.
Two mins later, husband comes in with this plate. I say I didn't know it was yours; if I'd known you had ordered food I would have too.
He says nothing stopping me.
So I ask. The kitchen is now shutting, they might be able to, but it'll be at least 20 minutes - with a pained look that says please don't.
So I don't.
(45 people had turned up to this trail run, this week's pub is tiny).
Now having a tin of soup.

Two idiots stuck on the yellow box protecting a level crossing from idiots. There was a traffic jam in front of them and behind. Fortunately the jam cleared enough before the barriers came down.

Chris I go across a similar box every day where the road crosses the tram lines. Fortunately the trams are travelling slowly there with a clear line of sight. I've had drivers behind me honking because I *won't* drive into it.
