Seen some terrible messes there and if you feck up and need recovery and damage the barriers it will cost you big; time charged for damages and costs closing the Ring while they mop up. It's a special place though.

Then the queue would have been a little longer for everyone...
If you filter on a bike or motorcycle you are making use of road that isn't available to other vehicles and saving space on bits of the road that are!
Yes the bike jumps the queue, but a motorcycle will be so quick off the line at the lights that they aren't going to hold anyone up who is queueing.
Filtering is certainly legal, and if I recall correctly, it is expected in the bike test that you do so where appropriate; the DVLA certainly don't seem to think that he should have stayed in the queue.

I don't often get involved in online petitions
But this has really given me the rage.
A gang of "animal right protesters" forcibly stole a homeless man's tiny puppy, because they 'thought he might end up malnourished'.
Then, as if they weren't cunty enough, named the puppy 'Vegan' and put him up for adoption.
Watch the video, and sign the petition. These people need to be punished for this.

I sort of agree
and always thought that nationalising the railways would be a good idea.
But just because the Tories ballsed up the privatisation in the 90s doesn't mean that the theory isn't sound. If we can actually get true competition on routes (such is slowly beginning to emerge) then the benefits in terms of better trains and somewhat lower fares will start to emerge.

You cannot get competition on routes, for the simple reason that only one train can go from A to B at any given time.
If I arrive at the train station, I will get on the next fastest train to where I want to go, regardless of who runs it.
If there is one in 5 minutes time, I'm on it, because no-one else can compete with that. There will be no other train going to where I want to go in 5 minutes time. If there were two trains going there at that time, I might have a choice, but the system would be woefully inefficient and the infrastructure which exists wouldn't be able to cope with that.
So nationalisation makes total sense.

Because those things are not a "free market"
In a free market people can vote with their wallets, meaning shit products/services fail and good products/services succeed. (In theory anyway, I realise we can all think of counter examples.) But this isn't what happens with the railways, to use them as an example. A franchise makes a bid and then the government is tied in for the duration of the franchise. And the passengers' only choice is to pick a different type of transport option (which may be utterly impractical), they can't
For it to be a "free market" the customers must be able to vote with their wallets, either by running franchises side-by-side on the same lines in competition (which isn't practical), or by writing the contracts such that the government/taxpayer can switch to a different option (which the lobbyists would never let them do).

All of this plus...
..if an operator was stripped of a franchise (as you point out highly unlikely) the operator that moves in would likely buy the same rolling stock and employ the same people on the same lines, little would change. At least if it was public we would get a glimmer of joy every once in a while when the Minister for Transport was flogged for wasting our money.

fucking hell, its like this mecca thing is really dangerous. Where's your God now?
AP has posted a list of accidents and tragedies which have marred previous hajj pilgrimages. It does not include the collapse of a crane in Mecca earlier this month, which killed more than 100, because that occurred days before the hajj began. The list shows that major loss of life during the pilgrimage had not occurred for some time.
2015: At least 150 people are killed and 400 injured in a stampede in Mina, on the outskirts of the holy city of Mecca. In the lead-up to hajj, at least 107 people are killed and scores wounded when a crane collapses in bad weather, crashing onto the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.
___
2006: More than 360 pilgrims are killed in a stampede at the desert plain of Mina, near Mecca, where pilgrims carry out a symbolic stoning of the devil by throwing pebbles against three stone walls. The day before the hajj began, an eight-story building being used as a hostel near the Grand Mosque in Mecca collapsed, killing at least 73 people.
___
2004: A crush of pilgrims at Mina kills 244 pilgrims and injures hundreds on the final day of the hajj ceremonies.
___
2001: A stampede at Mina during the final day of the pilgrimage ceremonies kills 35 hajj pilgrims.
___
1998: About 180 pilgrims are trampled to death in panic after several of them fell off an overpass during the final stoning ritual at Mina.
___
1997: At least 340 pilgrims are killed in a fire at the tent city of Mina as the blaze was aided by high winds. More than 1,500 were injured.
___
1994: Some 270 pilgrims are killed in a stampede during the stoning ritual at Mina.
___
1990: The worst hajj-related tragedy claims the lives of 1,426 pilgrims in a stampede in an overcrowded pedestrian tunnel leading to holy sites in Mecca.
edit: 450+ now

LOLs!
In terms of percentage of total attendees those are pretty small losses.
Edit: Latest total is 717 dead, still a small proportion, and around 1/3rd that died in the Twin Towers, not that the two events are linked in anyway at all.

yeah, they do love their stampedes
but when you compare it to the number of people attending it's probably within national averages or something

Any reason
why they have to go during a particular season?
Wouldn't it be easier if people could go on the Hajj year-round?

Can you have degrees of 'bizarre'?
Surely, symantically, if something is 'bizarre' or 'extra-ordinary' or 'abnormal' it cannot be quantified, since quantisation depends on the known?
