Evelyn has moved to a new place (in Bristol) with her mate. My mate Nobby and I helped her move. Amazingly, she’s got her own bit of (probable) Banksy art right outside her front door – a headless chicken! Hopefully it’ll stay as it’s quite neat, I think. (The pictures are taken with my Panasonic [...]

Enough of your bum faggery you fag-ended Gash Hound! This can be used in all sorts of situations e.g Phoning Granny Shopping for vegetables Enticing friends to finish their drinks quickly Running a charity shop While waiting for change on the bus While waiting for directions from the policeman in Trafalgar Square While waiting for [...]

Actually, I don’t count Redhill as part of Somerset – it’s really part of Bristol, with all that entails… Family flee neo-Nazi rally Nazi comments caught on camera When I saw the headlines last night, I thought, “surely some exaggeration”.  Well apparently not!  Hordes of Nazi types really did descend on a skanky motel-ish camping-type [...]

Continuing along with the theme of Cutting off your nose to spite your face the UK government wishes to extend the reach of the US “intelligence” services by making a nice big database of everyone’s phone calls, text messsages, emails and web page browsing history.  The WebUser website picked up on this story. Fortunately, Seagate [...]

Last week I arrived in Croydon to a week’s worth of knife deaths, convictions and escapes.  It seemed that the whole place was a blood-bath.  In examining them closely, some deaths were national news – and deservedly so, but mostly, there is no world outside of London for all the meeja types. For instance, in [...]

Everyone knows that global energy prices are going up and have roughly doubled in the last year.  In the UK, domestic fuel companies have for some years offered a “Green” tariff on gas and electricity.  The cost has been close to the “normal” tariffs, [...]

The height of the water had dropped about 4″ when this was filmed even though the tide was still coming in at a rate of knots! It’s filmed at Bridgwater Docks’ Entrance.    This previous post contains [...]

Two comments on a recent CTC mailing. The death of Sheldon Brown and the aquittal of a Critical Mass Event person, arrested for obstruction of the highway with a “non-motor vehicle”. The post veers off on an entertaining rant about freedom of the individual and also Monty Python and the Lupin sketch. (Dennis Moore)

This is the text of a message I’ve posted to National Express this morning regarding a near squashing experience I endured in Bridgwater just after half nine this morning. Hi. I’ve been forced to use this system as there doesn’t appear to be a local telephone number to use. While cycling to work today, I [...]

Just got back on my bike after being a bit out of it for a while. So I’ve prompted myself to check out The Warrington Cycle Campaign site again. You’ve gotta laff or shoot yourself. This is November’s addition. I wish they were in Bridgwater. Cycling up and down Bristol Road in the dark is [...]

Bridgwater Piss Poor Cycle Commute It continues to get harder to cycle down Bristol Road in Bridgwater. The evening queues start at the Chilton Trinity lights, up over the river, along Wylds Road and up Bristol Road past Express Park. A particularly dodgy bit is the right turn into Wylds Road where car drivers will [...]
