Bitcoin. I'm not sure what is more annoying, the fact it has 'value' doesn't make any sense as its nearly useless. Or the fact regardless that they were trading for $1000 each and not having the foresight to see that when they cost pennies.

Bit that Welsh bloke was annoyed, i think he had 7.5m worth on a hard drive he binned

It's a bit like any forex trading though. What's the point in owning any currency if you just want to trade.

Bitcoin's always had rise runs, bubbles and crashes - they're just more inflated now that the there's awareness about them.

I bet Silk Road being closed by the FBI more than helped as well.

Talking of roads and bad drivers.

Mannington roundabout at half 8 this morning. Fucking atrocious. Took me about 35-40 minutes to get from the toothill/Asda roundabout to wootton Bassett road.

The amount of stupid twats I see there in the morning that can't understand the concept of letting traffic flow through a roundabout, rather than blocking lanes after rushing through to get on to it so no one can move at all, whether the lights are green or not....makes my brain hurt. Fucking idiots.

Give me cycling to work in the pissing rain at -2 degrees everyday than having to suffer driving every time.

It was a nightmare yesterday as well. Ended up going the Windmill Hill way to the M4.

And again this morning. Didn't leave home until 9.15 and it was still queued right back to the Ashington Way roundabout.

Mannington has been a clusterfuck ever since they introduced the part-time lights.

It won't get better any time soon...

The majority are in thrall to their cars...as more and more estates are dumped on the edge of town, so more and more journeys are generated for even the most basic requirements...I'm sure we've all seen people who'll drive to the post box at the end of the street etc.

Its been particularly bad though. There must be a road closure or something having a knock on effect.

More of a 'don't understand' thing, but there are deciduous trees around here, on Dec 4th, that are still in full leaf.  And green.  Is this normal?  I don't think it is.  Loads of trees still with leaves on at the moment.  I'm sure in most years they would all be down by now.
