    and in the same breath, dont tar all motorists the same, especially when there are more worse cyclists than drivers.

    and as some one else mentioned on here, how come, when there are 'cycle paths' have been provided, they still use the fekin road????

    pests, they need obliviating...

    Oh yeah we've all done it but it's bloody annoying when you get there and there's nobody around. Usually it's not even like I see the person a few yards down the street, I just can't find them anywhere. I reckon they press the button, cross while it's on red (for the reason you say) then turn into Usain bolt and leg it down the road

    This really doesn't deserve a reply but I'll try.

    1. where have ever crticised all car drivers irrespective of what they actually do? I treat each other road user (by whatever means) as I find them, there are stupid and ignorant pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
    2. I use off-road cycle routes when they go where I want to go, however, shared use roadside pavements are a really bad idea for many reasons including
    a) they bring cyclists and pedestrians into conflict (as do the off-road routes like old railways etc),
    b) they cause undue delay because they force cyclists to give way to side roads, The right place for cyclists is on the road.
    c) most of these are VERY poorly designed, usually dumping cyclists back on the road just when approaching the most dangerous places (junctions etc)
    3. "oblivating" is a real word but makes absolutely no sense there.

    Most are placebos you are correct, you'd love the one in Headingley by The Arc pub though. That one turns red so quickly that you've not even got the chance to move your finger off the button before it's changed.

    No he did what a lot of people do when faced with a situation that's out of their comfort zone.
    My sons splint was fitted to correct the erosion of his hip joint due to Perthes disease.
    The condition sees the ball part of the hip start to soften, with the result that
    it slips out of its socket and pushes upwards into the abdomen leading to the total lack of
    mobility and pain.

    The cure involved the total dislocation of the hip and the leg being suspended in a metal frame
    for two years. The lads shoe was connected to the frame with a metal ring which was attached
    to the frame of the splint. The whole structure led up to his chest and was secured around his
    torso by means of a robust leather belt.

    Faced with such a sight, the guy who was measuring him up for a new frame, wrongly assumed
    he had something wrong with his brain and hearing and proceeded to bellow down his ear hole
    which really upset myself.

    Pleased to say that after his splint was finally removed and following extensive physio , along with
    his mates, my son was able to raise funds for the Children's Wards at Doncaster Royal Infirmary
    by undertaking projects that tested them to the limits. Most notable of these, was undertaking the
    Coast to Coast walk and the ascent of Scafell Pike, Snowdon and Ben Nevis overnight.
    He's now a very fit lad and unless you knew what he'd experienced as a kid, you would never know
    that he'd had such a harrowing time.

    - on screen pop ups (usually spam/adverts) more so annoying when it's from your antivirus firm.
    - opening software, then opening a second piece of software only to type and the original software opens up on top
    - people who walk slowly
