I'm having trouble working out if these are funny or not.I've decided I think they are.
Woo.
P.s. Am I just getting old and cranky or what?
2 stories on BBC news have made me angry:
This one
'Mark Boyle, 28, who set out four weeks ago with only T-shirts, a bandage and sandals, hoped to rely on the kindness of strangers for food and lodging[...] people thought he was free-loading...'
He fucking was.
and
This one
Driver going 45 in a 30 limit while sending a text hits and kills cyclist, gets jail term. Fine by me, irresponsibly driving. Journalist didn't make a point of the fact that the cyclist she hit was in front of her because he ran a red light. Obviously he's already paid a massive price for it (viz: death) but you'd think it would be a good advert to use for cycling safely as well as driving safely, wouldn't you?

"Nothing is so important that it can't wait until you stop or arrive safely at your destination."and there's nothing so important that means you can't wait at the red lights like other traffic, you stupid cyclist.

This.I cycle in Exeter and I wait at the lights.
The other day i had a woman shouting at me for riding on the pavement and jumping the lights.
I stopped and said 'I don't do those things.'
She said 'Yes you do, I've seen you lot doing it!'.
