Camfo, I dont think there are many male pembroke members who use this forum, so you might want to try advertising elsewhere perhaps :p:
^o) Did I look like advertising for people to join the team? Maybe I did, but that wasn't what I was trying to do! You need to drink less...

*Most "I have never"s are filtered on TSR. A friend at Magdelen, Oxford told me that at his parent/child curry they played "I have never" sconcing (i.e. you down a pint, rather than just drink) and two guys got got with "I have never had sex in the Deer Park".


It's an evil, evil game. Especially if you know the people involved and know things that they'd rather not admit to in public. The worst one I've ever seen admitted was "I have never woken up with blood all over my face that was not my own" (work it out for yourself.) :puke:
HAHAHA - I know someone who did that. He thought that he'd been in a fight. Turned out that he had, um, been on a beach with a girl that night.

What a waste of time - you could have been adding to the glory of the 2004 thread.

As I could have.

Just wondering if it merges triple posts?

Woo it does.

I know that feeling. They're bad when they block the bridge over the cam near Tit Hall. It's a steep slope and you're fighting to get up the incline and they stand across the full width of the bridge and watch as you get slower and slower and almost fall off while wiating for them to move. I've taken to either cycling at them, they move when they realise you're not slowing down, or shouting at them to move/hurling abuse at them.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR :mad:

Other than that, no complaints. Have finished my work for today and can have a slightly leisurely evening, with maybe a bit of reading for tomorrow.

I walked right through a tourist group photo this afternoon- they had just waited 45 seconds to get a decent shot too:biggrin:

I will try that next time I see tourists blocking the way. I nearly cycled into someone who's trying to "cross" that path once. Had to break and I was going horizontal just before I stopped right in front of him. Don't people have eyes anymore these days?!
Hehehe - when I'm cycling down the hill to my department at about 35mph no one dares to stand in the road.

Well, no one yet. Plus there aren't that many tourists in my area of Bristol. I don't know if Bristol (although a very beautiful city, not quite Cambridge) gets many tourists.

maybe, and may-not-be.

Bristol isn't as famous as cambridge. I guess you lot don't really get that many w*nkers.

Trouble is that so much of Cambridge is semi-pedestrianised people just don't pay attention or think that bikes might be around. They're also easy to miss if you just glance in the road to look for cars - I've made that mistake myself.

As for TH bridge, today I was following two pikeys sharing one bike. Obviously getting over the bridge was not easy, and so after swerving all over the place they gave up and got off but not before I and various others had been forced almost to a standstill by this :mad:
L.J
I normally do cycle into them, but I had two shopping bags on my handlebars with fizzy drinks and breakable stuff. A woman walked right across me, I had to swerve and almost killed her. If I hadn't had my headphones in I would have screamed at her. ****ing tourists (I'll let the swear filter put this stars in from now on Helen :smile: )
I wouldn't bother screaming if I were you, I'd just run her straight over.
L.J
Note to self: If I ever see a compsci on a bike, run away

Second note to self: Run over tourists :yy:
Yes yes! Avoid the compscis like you are avoiding plague.

On 2nd thought, (make mental note to self) one should shout "Watch out!" then delibrately brake late such that one will crash into the bastard in question and blame any faults involved on the bastard in question.
Pedestrians do have right of way.

KILL THE TOURISTS!!!!

Not on cycle paths and roads they don't. :evil:

Besides, i've had more trouble with taxis recently. One actually hit me deliberately on Trumpington Street last week. Just because i hadn't turned right from Lensfield Road acroos the roundabout at the bottom of Trumpington Street because i didn't want to die. You could've got a car out but i couldn't have accelerated enough to get out of the way of an oncoming van, he was beeping his horn and swearing so i took my time when i got some space. Going up Trumpington Street he pulled in front of me and then slowly pulled into the side of the road, closing out my space. I took the idiot's wing mirror off with my racing bars, put a dint in his wing with my boot and hurled abuse at him through his window for good measure. Such an ****, i was lucky i can jump my bike because he almost put me in the gutter by the side of the road, i ended up on the pavement and almost ran down some people. I'm still angry about it now. :mad: :mad:

****ing **** of a driver:mad:
You know those horns with the compressed air canisters? The seriously loud, sounds-like-a-fooking-great-big-huge-truck-hooter kind of air horn? Better than a bell anyday.

I was seriously considering buying one before I came up. I definately will do over the crimbo vac.

Oh yeah! Does anyone know where I can find one of these?

No sane person would want to turn at that Trumpington roundabout.

Apart from that place... somewhere more along the line of "arround the street corner"
Halfords? The one back at home does them...

Other than that, a chandler's (i.e. boat place) is good- I believe they;re supposed to be used as foghorns for boats...
