I actually posted my experience as a cyclist which has negative impressions of drivers - triggered by you celebrating a poster confessing to committing assault

When I work in Farringdon I laughed at some graff that said "BEGGIN' 4 A PEGGIN" every day. Was lost to Crossrail. Cultural vandalism imo [Post edited 29 May 21:31]

Springsteen for me.
Every time I go to see him I feel like this old man from New Jersey who grew up in the 50's is talking about me, the son of Irish immigrants who grew up in London in the 90s.
That is skill |

It absolutely was about that now, come on.
Incredible claim to say they're pound for pound the worst then in the same sentence say there's no data. Tfl data shows that 80% of people killed in incidents on Londons roads aren't in cars. |

I starred cycling a few months ago, and whilst a lot of other cyclists' behaviour is pretty dispiriting, I gotta say, drivers in London are absolutely unhinged and far more dangerous (statistics would back that too).
The other week I was knocked off my bike at a combined cycling Nd zebra crossing in Hackney. There were some school kids crossing and I could see the driver wasn't stopping in time so cycled in front of it so it would hit me first. Luckily I was unharmed but as I stood up and remunstrated the driver said "sorry, I wasn't looking".
Partially I know I'm wasting my breath here, but it's easy to point at one group and say they're the problem, but on my way to and from work I'm constantly put in harms way by drivers failing to give way at junctions or doing dangerous over taking or illegal turns by people who value their convience over my safety or even the law.
Why am i saying this? Because for some reason in Britain across all generations there is a selfishness that is now completely unbound - I want what I want, I want it now, and I don't care if you get hurt for me to get it. This is much deeper than cyclists vs drivers, but tell yourself that if it makes yourself feel better |

Personally I would be happy to never see Willock play for us ever again, and I know he's been inured but at points he general demeanour and endeavour has been absolutely appalling. Recall there was a game he kept telling Armstrong to stop running so much, presumably cos it made him look bad.
Yes, Chair is our best player but personally off the field stuff does sour it for me. I know you can't trust everything you hear, but a of chat he was the Tool Downer In Chief in the dressing room under Critchley, and then let's face it, we go down after our rivals go on a run inspired by a guy who was convicted of attempted murder. This place would be on fire. I know it's a weird one but it really doesn't sit right with me and every time I try to explain it away, I realise there it is, the last of my credibility has gone [Post edited 28 May 9:17]

I will not hear this Charlie Austin slander. He was incredible that season, playing most of it injured - his performance in the semi is one of the all time great Rs showings imo.
The only thing I'd change about the day is I wished he scored the goal instead of Zamora |

There's literally nothing you can do about it so order another martini and try not to worry about it.
tbh whilst our numbers are good under Marti, a lot of scouting and planning at football clubs is rudimental. They'll see a club who finished 18th and move past us |

Fair.
I do think as a fanbase we do need to give Paal a bit more credit. People seem very eager to get on his back the moment he has an off day, but unlikely a lot of Beale's Babies, he shows up non stop giving his all. A really dependable anchor |

Things to do, depends on your interests but walking round Montjuic and Parc Guell are pretty cool, Picasso museum is pretty good as is just wandering the Gothic Quarter drinking vermut.
Bar Marsella is quite funny - 18th century absinthe bar, though I did once end up in the gutter outside, as is the 90's themed Bar Manchester.
But mostly, watch your stuff. Pickpocketing is out of control |

I'm usually of the crew who'd be saying it's not FIFA and you can't just flog players without a buyer - BUT - Dykes will come up in a lot of analytics that his Scotland numbers are way better than ours and there's a the chance a manager will say "I can change him" |

So i was proper rattled by his death. Adored the records he helped make, and was looking forward to seeing Shellac for the 14th time at Primavera next month. Posted a RIP post on insta
Sadly, after posting that I discovered both an article he wrote in the 80s saying he looked at and enjoyed child pornography (I won't link the piece here, but it is properly beyond the pale), and his long friendship with Peter Sotos and a life long affection I've had for him died in about 10 minutes. No music justifies some of the stuff he was adjacent to, or claimed to have participated in |
