Grr.. Tour de France

[Solari]

I didn't realise how much disruption this would cause - I'm basically unable to get anywhere until they finish due to being trapped the wrong side of the cycle route... can't get across the river or out past Dartford to go anywhere at all

Bang go my plans for a picnic in the country! *throttles Ken Livingstone*

Have you been living in a cave the last few weeks/months ?

Knew it was happening but I thought I'd figure out a way across.... I've been defeated (I'm in that bit near Eastern Way, joy of joys)

Oh well, off to the pub it is then!

Get a push bike & just join in till you get to where you want to go

My brother borrowed my (bloody expensive that I'd saved hard for) mountain bike and managed to wreck it - could have throttled him

Well at least it's sunny... I think I shall reaquaint myself with those two bubbly blondes... Becks & Stella

What did he do to it?

Just generally abused it, using it to get to work, then got it under a car The sod agreed to buy it off me as he'd had it so long but never saw a penny.... Never lend expensive things (or money) to family/friends

We have this same thing in Stoke every year during the Potteries Marathon (now Arf Marathon).
People are informed all over the route to channge their plans but still they come out in their cars and moan about it.
I think they do it on purpose.

You do realise that if we didn't have anything to moan about, we'd be miserable?

How/why did you let him get away with that?

He should have bought you a new one, and you should have made sure he did.

Because he earns sod all, has to support 2 kids and a girlfriend that likes spending his money

Lesson learned there!
