London - Speed cameras set to double

Me? I can't think of anyone whose opinion I care about who has me
killfiled (ie doesn't ever reply to any of my posts).

If anyone wants to own up, feel free. I won't think any less of you.

 

How would someone who has you killfiled be able to read this request?

...until now.

 

Thanks for posting this.

I can't stand the ****.

 

Nor me. Who are we talking about?

That's an easy one...

The right to a seat on the tube (first class compartments with ticket
only)
The right to graze your ducks in Pymns Park
The right to call the Great Cambridge Road the A10

 

I haven't seen any evidence to prove this. It sounds rather like
something the anti-Ken press would print.

 

God only knows what the Hello magazine article will be like when you
finally marry him.

 

ho ho. Your wit astounds me.

 

Bear? Is that you?

 

No it's bloody well not.

 

So you've booked a room then, huh?

Anyway, it appears he's getting better:

Bear-esque. Well done.

So, you haven't given any proof that he *never* uses public transport.
Just an article saying that he's cut his taxi bill.

fwiw, I don't think a taxi bill of 100 quid a week over the period 1
April to 31 August last ear is particularly shocking. I've often had
weeks where I've had 100 quid of taxi receipts [0], and I'm sure I've
never had as heavy a meeting schedule as Ken Livingstone.

[0] Memorable ones are Schipol to my hotel in Huizen, which was 100
quid alone, and when I first went to work in Finland I had trouble
finding the office in the outskirts of Helsinki, so I often paid a taxi
driver to follow him.

 

Indeed, peanuts.

Boggle!
A variation on *follow that car*. Did he try and loose you?

 

Firstly, he wouldn't have got paid, and secondly, he couldn't have.

You think you are so clever eh? Well let me tell you laddy, only the
other day I came across two ukrmers buried deep in a thread discussing
ways of killing off the replies to Des's posts, in order that they are
finally rid of him. This clever use technology could easily be extended
to Blaney and then where would you be? Eh? Eh?

 

I'd be here, or somewhere nearby.

 

[ken livingstone and rugby celebration]

Well I probably wouldn't get excited about that either. I tend not to
have any emotional reaction to either populist events, horrendous
crimes, outcomes of trials or acts of bravery. Unless I am directly
involved it is just someone else's news.

And to pick up on the Livingstone theme - well he turned up, he grinned
for the cameras and offered a meaningless freedom to a few big blokes
who knocked a ball about. He's no better or worse than any other
politician who took time out to be "seen" in the vain hope that the
supposed glory of the England team would rub off on them. It's all an
exercise in political opportunism.

 

Heh.

 

Capital Radio said this morning that they believed it provided the
freedom to roam round Parliament Sq and Trafalgar Square as they are the
only two pieces of greater london that the Mayor directly manages. I
doubt they are correct but perhaps the rugby boys can get a free cup of
coffee and a doughnut at City Hall as well?

 

Well no personal offence intended but your life sounds like one big
revolving party...
Shit, I'm a Scot, living in Norn Iron, a dour grumpy **** (apparently) yet
the England Vs Australia game had me leaping around the kitchen. Admittedly
I like the game having gone to 'playing schools and I attend the odd
National...but still.

Now I expect it of the Ginger One. He gets his kicks rampaging around the
country like a Grandad on tricycle and works for Big Blue. A titty **** from
Charders couldn't get him excited, oh no, It takes live death defying stunt
work to get him going.
