@A_2_Bs @rorysutherland You should provide evidence to support your statement, or retract it.

My father was given a terminal cancer diagnosis with a timescale of 'weeks not months' just under 3 weeks ago.

I'm 99.99% certain he'd take the option to choose when to die were it available to him...

@fesshole Why would you put it in the bin rather than just in the fridge for later?

No wonder the volume of food waste is so high!

@ADHDForReal When they answer it's a 'reason' and means they can't be blamed for the thing, but when you give *the exact same answer* it's an 'excuse' and you're still at fault...

@anon_opin I imagine Damon Albarn has sung it correctly a few times...

@dcrainmakerblog I'd suggest any Strava user with a premium subscription who isn't happy with the proposed change cancels it and lets Strava know the reason.

We have the power to hit Strava where it hurts if we have the will...

@THEJamesWhale Paddington, Winnie, Rupert & Pudsey thank you for your recognition of their sacrifices...

[Hugopotamus @Hugo_Potamus]

@sussex_police Yes, I've reported it through that portal - AW1243910
But it isn't 'abandoned' & by the time the council do their checks it will have moved.
Hopefully there'll be a minor collision & a bit of cosmetic damage that'll persuade the owners not to park there again...

@sussex_police
Why isn't there an easy online way to report a car parked blocking/restricting a footpath and also on a junction that is already dangerous?
All the paths through your web-service end up pushing me to make this someone-else's problem, not yours?

Rather than trying to increase the birth rate so there are future taxpayers to fund the aging population, why not tackle the 'cause' by finding a way to have fewer old people who need paying for?

@PicturesFoIder That's not a cyclist, it's an asshole on a bike...

[Hugopotamus @Hugo_Potamus]

@CitizenUddin I got in a right spat on Reddit after I bemoaned seeing a guy cycling along one/no-handed whilst using his phone & I said he was "giving all cyclists a bad name".
People were adamant that "we're not part of a group" and "we're not all ambassadors for cycling"

They do, we are...

@KathyParr101 @Ph1lhughes @TheMrLoophole What makes you think the kind of person who rides recklessly will actually bother with getting/fitting a 'bike number plate'? So then you'll have to waste police time chasing riders with no 'reg plate'...
Where/how will you fit these plates?
Unrealistic & un-implementable

@LukeB_MTB "Threads", "When the Wind Blows" & "Watership Down"

Ohhh... <sound of penny dropping>

[Hugopotamus @Hugo_Potamus]

@fesshole So, you've been defrauding John Lewis...
<slow clap>

[Hugopotamus @Hugo_Potamus]

@NoNonsenseND No offense but, if you're aware you're autistic in your 20s you're already doing a shit ton better than all the very late (40+) DX'd autistics out there...

@but_cyclists Why wasn't he using the cycle lane? Entitled motorway maintenance a-hole!

@BusyLondonMum @MayorofLondon This is cycle couriers 'Alleycat racing' (illegally) in New York... it bears as much in common to cyclists in the UK as a clip of backstreet drag racing in the US does to UK car drivers...

Also, passing a test & being licensed clearly doesn't stop people driving like twats
