Fuckwit drivers. Second time it's happened to me on the Meads Roundabout, some twat just drove straight through a red light.
I've noticed recently that traffic lights turning red (especially on roundabouts) appear to be considered a 'suggestion' to stop rather than a mandatory command! I've lost count of the number of times I am preparing to move off on green as some idiot continues to come from might right on red. Have I missed something? Has the law changed or something? |

People are in their own little bubble, unaware of others.

Twigmarket running the previously council run golf facilities into the ground. Starving them of TLC and closing them one by one. The 9 hole at Broome will be next and will be a car park for Nationwide employees I think.

The woman who nearly knocked me off my bike on a roundabout today was obviously in her bubble. I was about a second away from being in an intensive care bubble as she entered the roundabout regardless of me already being there with my arm out signalling and my fluorescent mamil kit glowing away! (The driver behind her stopped!) 😣

Talking about 'bubbles', remember the bubble car well, open up front, climb in, fight the steering column, slam the door making sure all fingers and toes were clear, great little fun car, wouldn't be much use on a motorway these days !!.

Can remember a night club called Bubbles but was it the old Birds nest or the Underground ? I was pissed at the time. |

Ignorant twats who hide behind withheld numbers and hang up on you mid way through your answer.  |

Twat drivers (again). Black VW Passat at Mannington roundabout, in lane 3 coming from town, me in lane 2. They want lane 1. No signalling, just cut right across me. Prick.

There is a sign on Tadpole lane as you approach the SCRS from Oakhurst direction stating welcome to Wiltshire.  Reg has probably got a photo of it. |

I know Oakhurst from the Number 12 bus, but other than it being part of the N Swindon blob, wouldn't know where it is. I try to avoid venturing out that way as far as possible.... little to commend it |
