    Hammersmith :(



    Anybody that likes Hammersmith beep your horn...


    How come the Japanese rebuilt a 6lane highway within weeks of it being completely flushed away by a tsunami that wrecked whole cities but here in UK it will take 6 months just to repair a bridge in an otherwise intact city?

    Why the f#*k can't the police get out and direct the traffic so that it keep moving?
    And why can't that clown get TFL to change the timings of traffick lights and buss routes?

    Sorry all, rant over...
    Who can guess where I am today?

    Hammersmith, sounds like a wrought iron ballastrade company.

    Comment in the paper today about Hammersmith...

    Some said it was the steelwork in the concrete rotting/expanded whereas someone else came up with ...

    It's the bodies that the Kray twins buried turning over.

    @ Brian,
    You englishmen, you always has to reinvent the wheel.
    Haven't your criminals learnt to stack the bodies on top of another one, in a casket on it's way to the crematorium yet?

    @Loops,
    Don't start me on that one
    Apparently it is not considered "safe" to ride a bike with 6 ft steps strapped to your back
    AND to top it all they are now charging for bike parking in Westminster


    Old, grumpy and proud of it

    Consider myself soooo lucky not to be in the rat race any more. Park where i want and for as long as i want for free. Council only frowns on vehicles that stay longer than 8 hours in the same spot. Attracts a 10 buck fine
