cyclist crash
Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:16:29 -0700 (PDT)
Just to prove the Doug ?cyclist OK motorist wrong? claim is sometimes
correct.
At about 10.30 today near Wallington I was waiting to drive across a
major road, from my right a cyclist, wearing all the correct gear
appeared, going down the major road right to left travelling quite
fast.
A white estate car was com ...

Doug and Mr Bollen - I think I've cracked it
Mon, 23 Jun 2008 02:27:39 -0700 (PDT)
There has been a great deal of confusion as to whether Doug is Doug
Bollen of that address in Catford. I must admit that I was convinced
that he was. In particular, the pictures of a man who I believed to
be Doug, loading his bike trailer outside Mr Bollen's house, clinched
it for me (http://tinyurl.com/32r2c4). ...

Put oil firm chiefs on trial, says leading climate change scientist.
Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:57:38 -0700 (PDT)

dominate this transport newsgroup.
"James Hansen, one of the world's leading climate scientists, will
today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to
be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing

OT, but funny
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 03:12:22 -0700 (PDT)
Article from today's Observer, in which their food critic tries to go
vegan for a week. He gave up after 5 days, complaining (amongst other

the link in my mind between this article and this group. Any ideas?

Do motorists also dominate opinion polls?
Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:57:54 -0700 (PDT)
"The majority of the British public is still not convinced that
climate change is caused by humans - and many others believe
scientists are exaggerating the problem, according to an exclusive
poll for The Observer..."
"...Ipsos MORI polled 1,039 adults and found that six out of 10 agreed

?100m for cyclists - Another COLOSAL waste of taxpayers money !
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:09:57 +0100
Seen on teletext:
The Gov. is going to spend ¡ê100m on Bristol and 10 other cities to
facilitate and promote cycling.
Apparently the target is to get 2.5m people on their bikes.
I have no objection to the idea in principle, cyclists are easier to
overtake then 4x4's, (or if you not bothered about your paintwor ...

A Tribute to the Tanker Drivers
Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:59:44 +0100
I just wanted to put on record my congratulations to our heroic Brothers,
the Shell tanker drivers, following the most effective industrial action
this country has seen for a generation.
The drivers wanted 7% but in a brilliant display of negotiating skill, Shell
settled for 14%.
Governments might be prepa ...

OT: some hard numbers on the climate/energy debate at last
Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:33:04 +0100
There's a very interesting article in The Register about a Cambridge
University physics professor who has put some hard numbers into the
climate/energy debate.

The full article is too long to post here but here's how it starts:
