    i've never understood the distinction between attempted murder and murder in terms of punishment. the intent is the same. by giving a lesser sentence for attempted murder, you're really just rewarding incompetence.

    And of course over on the Journal cyclist are still the enemy.


    @Tony Daly: Joggers on pavements can be just as bad as Cyclists.

    One jogger being a dick doesn't exonerate all the cyclists who act like dicks.

    If the bar is "doesn't push anyone under a bus" that's setting it pretty low.

    I didn't push anyone under a bus today, every little helps.

    The jogger apparently came back to the scene on his return leg but refused to stop (acccording to another paper. Did no one think, I might get a pic or stop him?

    100% agree with MB, attempted murder and murder should be the same.

    Today was quiet so it is hard to tell. On a typical commute, I'd say you typically do not push less people under a bus than me but we have t take into account dstance, time on the bike etc. So its really hard to tell in a fair manner which one of us does not push people under bus more (or less). I'd say if we got the metrics right, we would be about even. This said, I am not a nice person in real life and probably am more tempted to avoid not pushing people under a bus.

    145s on my route would stop but the Wexford bus and the 84X would probably give me a thumbs up if I did :eek:

    I pushed a few people today but I didn't look to see if there were any busses in the vicinity, though going down O'Connell Street I'm sure there were a few if I had bothered to look where I was going :D

    Fortunately I wasn't quick enough to get in the way of these joggers in London last night:

    I've read the charter and have not broken it.
    What is your mod warning in relation to? It would be useful to point out how i have offended you rather than have me question you.

    MOD VOICE: Normally we take such conversations to PM, I would appreciate if you do that if you wish to converse further. Point 8 on the charter. Trying to play pedant with the words, doesn't negate this, nor does "all the cyclists" get around the generalisations clause. Further discussion via PM only.
