don’t play the radio in your shop
Saturday, October 30th, 2004
Today I was browsing phones, looking at replacing my Treo, soon hopefully (Treo is currently away being repaired or replaced).
I went in kjc, an independent phone retailer, as the usual suspects didn’t have the phones I wanted to look at on display. They had the radio on, I found it particularly amusing that there […]
brighton not so mega
Thursday, October 28th, 2004
Last week I went to London and took the Megabus once more, this time from Brighton. The service was not particularly busy in either direction and in both cases the buses used we’re just regular Stagecoach buses rather than Megabus branded.
I’ve now used this route quite a few times and compared to the other routes […]
Peel RIP
Tuesday, October 26th, 2004
I can’t say much which hasn’t been said, so I won’t.
The world needs remarkable people. I can’t believe one who contributed so greatly to my upbringing, and the upbringing of so many - is gone, just like that.

It was with great pleasure that last week I announced the launch of the new web site for the North Somerset Cycle Campaign, hosted here at 4angle.
Today I’m going to mention the Wessex Trains cycle ban campaign. For those who don’t know, in May this year Wessex Trains altered their cycle policy, banning cycles from […]

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004
taking megabuses all the way to inverness from brighton was fun, distances etc. already calculated here.
features:
sitting on buses for 15+ hours makes you (me?) ache. a lot.
virtually every megabus we travelled on was completely full, the national express coach to brighton (from london) had 14 passengers, a load factor or about 15-20%
using […]
no tabs in real life
Tuesday, October 19th, 2004
while on the megabus back from inverness this weekend i realised how annoying it is to not be able to ’switch tabs’ between physical documents as i can in firefox.
i was trying to read 2 maps, both very large, and compare detail on the maps, but unfortunately this was very difficult while squashed into […]
incidents
Tuesday, October 12th, 2004
Yesterday I was astounded when a woman walked out directly in front of me, with her back to me, into the road while pushing a pushchair, me cycling.
It was such a close call there was no time for bell ringing, this meant braking sharply and swerving towards the kerb to miss her.
Today, I […]
