Hey TH! I know it's been a (long) while but I thought I'd pay a little visit and see how everything's going. It's great to see the site's still looking healthy!
How've you been? :)
> I do not want to imagine what it's like during the Olympics.
There's not much to imagine- It looks like a parking lot. :p
> Maybe that you don't have to have a ticket to see the event? That sounds like really weird wording.
That's what ~500 people who showed up thought too. Turns out it...
The London olympics are great for everyone really... Except Londoners. As a citizen myself, I speak from experience when I express just how intense my hatred over how stupid some aspects of the 'preparations' are. Londoners are strongly advised to remain at home and not travel at all. 'Olympic...
My gym is small and far away, so if I wake up too late on a day I'd want to go, I don't because it'll simply be too packed when it's no longer morning.
However, I do like to keep up my appearance and do 100 pushups and a few simple dumbbell exercises when I stay home. :)
Thanks everyone :)

America's getting involved in world affairs that don't involve oi-- Oh, never mind.
Pretty sure I've posted my result here before, but there it is again. We pay £75 (~$115) or so a month for internet (50 Mb/s), unlimited landline calls and our TV package.
On that note, our broadband speeds are being doubled some time this year. :D
> Eh, would you say the same isn't true for drivers?
Only on weekends. :P
On a serious note, Slapshot pretty much answered that. Also, drivers need a license in order to drive, which requires them to have knowledge of the highway code and the general rules of the road. Cyclists, on the other...
Congestion and dirty air are only really a problem in central London, which I rarely drive into because of the congestion charge. The public transport system is great here, so I use that whenever that's the case. However, beyond that, it's not congestion that's a problem, but small, narrow and...
> As a learner driver I do have to say that it is tempting....
As a driver in London, I feel to thank this bus driver for saving me much potential frustration on the roads. I really, really hate cyclists.
(Maybe the hit itself was a bit too far, but cyclists in England shoot red lights, take up...
