Uber,,,,,,,,the pavement isn’t the place for ‘adult’ cyclists. Iv’e no problem with children cycling on the pavement, it’s far safer for them, but adults are not, and should not, be allowed to ride them on either the pavement or pedestrian walkways, they really are old enough to know better.

Another pet hate of mine is when they cycle, on the pavement, to the pelican crossing, press the button for the lights to change and then cycle across!!! It’s ignorance on a huge scale. :twisted:

I totally disagree

Adult cyclists are on the whole far more likely to manoevre safely around pedestrians than kids anyway for one. Infact with current levels of child behaviour and their near untouchable status in the eyes of the law kids are actually far more likely to hit people just for the heck of it

Also, the moement cyclists start paying road tax, buying insurance and having to pass a test then, and only then SHOULD they belong on the road

As for being “on the path”, they wouldnt be, their cycle paths would be, so if they stay in them and you stay on your pedestrian part of the path whats yer problem?

I wouldn’t have a problem if they were in and STAYED IN!! their cycle paths. As for them being far more likely to ”manoevre safely around pedestrians”,,,,,iv’e yet to see it.

I wouldn’t have had a problem on Tuesday either, had the ‘cyclist’ who almost landed in the buggy containing my freinds little girl apologised,,,,,,he merely gave me a mouthful of abuse like it was my fault for being in his bloody way in the first place!

I don’t know if any of you saw this one on the news.

Peter Messen was not a child; he was 28 years old he should have never been cycling on the pavement in the first place.

His victim was Gary Green who was just packing up this car, in this drive, for a family holiday.

We have all moan about people cycling on the pavements for years, we do have laws to prevent this, but there never enforced.

If you drove on the pavement with a car and killing someone you would be looking at a harsh sentence, but not if you use cycle and your a bit thick.

It seems that if you have “behavioural and medical problems” you can get away with murder.

For once DOA,,,,I couldnt agree with you more.

I dunno how to do the link but Mail on Sunday for 6th January this year, you will see the story about my mum, who was mown down, not by a cycle, but by a mobility scooter, which was also going far too fast on the pavement. The police didn’t want to know and did very little even after the article in the mail. Sadly she died in May, having never recovered from her injuries,,,,,,its manslaughter at best, but still they don’t want to know.

I was actually told by one officer over the phone,,,,,,well she was 94 Carol and it was an accident, I think you should get over it :twisted: :twisted: Personally, I hope that officer goes straight to hell :twisted:

I’m not a hoodie :roll: I made it from 23 to 60 without suffering too many ill effects from smoking hash, in fact iv’e probably had more harm done to me from other ”normal” drugs. Anti biotics and such.

Your entitled to your opinion tho, as am I

Oh yea! I didn’t mug or steal from anyone to get it either,,,,,,like I said, can take it or leave it, or did you conveniently not read that part :roll:

you are right its all about opinions i have mine you have yours etc we move on and carry on life

i do it legally though

(dont start on this decriminalising thing its still illegal or it would be in the shops

Isn’t that what I said :-k

I didn’t mention anything about decriminalising, I just pointed out that alchohol is just as dangerous in some hands and its available to buy in the supermarket. I don’t think I mentioned dicriminalising at all.

weeds is not a drug its a herb or a weed depending on yer slant of said plant. i use it several times a week as i broke my back 7 years ago quite badly. i use weed because the alternative is to use morphine and other major inhibitors that ruin your life and reduce you to a dribbling wreck. my consultant told me to use weed as an alternative and i tried it, and hey presto instant relaxation and a good nights sleep.
i know there are arguments all over the place about it causing psycosis and mental health problems, but so do alcohol e,s cocaine, and speed. these are just as available and often the first choice of drug so the argument that weed leads on to other drugs doesnt hold with me realy. of course there are people who will try other drugs but how many people start drinking with a half of lager and end up doing a bottle of vodka a day. its a choice and limitation thing. make your choice and stay within limitations. :wink: if you arent capable of that you shouldnt be smoking, drinking, eating or living without someone making your decisions for you. no doubt some will disagree but id rather have a house full of stoned adults having a laugh and a good ole munchy party than go out to the pub and risk walking home through streets full of mashed teenagers all wanting to fight the world and smashin the shops up.

I don’t use it because I broke my back, nothing like that at all. I don’t use actual weed, I prefer hash, gives me a nice little buzz, helps to relax me.

I agree tho with Waspish, on the medical side of it. I smoked it during the time I was being treated with chemotherapy, it was far better than the morphine, which again, as Wasp said, and I agree, left me feeling little more than a zombie. I wasn’t able to function. As well as the morphine, I was being treated with anti-sickness drugs, the morphine and the anti-sickness caused constipation, so they gave me more drugs to help me go to the loo, then they had to give me even more drugs, to stop the trots! I lost a lot of weight, couldn’t eat, they gave me more drugs to boost my appetite. I had a shoe box full of drugs. My ex came round to see me one day, he rolled me a joint, i’d felt like absolute shyte all day. After he went, I went and slept for a couple of hours, he’d left some behind for me so I rolled myself another joint that evening. The next day I tipped all of the contents of the shoe box into the bin. Apart from when I had another dose of chemo, at which time they would also inject anti sick, I never took another one again. The chemo worked and the cancer went, and i’m still smokin puff. I don’t depend on it, if I haven’t got it then I haven’t got it, i’m not climbing the walls for it.

Weed can cause pshycosis, it’s happening in front of my eyes right now, to someone very dear to me, wer’e dealing with it, and so’s he, it’s not the only thing causing it though. Once again though, I agree with you Wasp, alchohol can cause severe effects on some people, and thats available to buy on the shelves in any supermarket you choose to walk into.

nurses are not blameless in this instance. i myself have worked with nurses [trainee managers] who refuse to deal with patients and clients as they believe handling elderly people is below them. they will wait until a junior nurse or nursing assistant to come on shift so they dont get in the thick of it [yes it] this causes mixed tensions and then everyone tries to pass the patient around so no one actually does any hands on with the patient. this is common in elderly wards, and even more so in nursing homes. i would never allow any of my relatives to go into hospital or into a care home situation as its genuineley unsafe for them.

All of the above was very familiar to me.

I’d gotten to the point myself, I thought ok, enoughs enough….I pulled chains, I upset pple, I called Social Services in and started the cogs turning on taking my mum home. She’d been thru quite enough. I knew it wouldn’t have been for long, I didn’t care if it was.

Within a week arrangements had been made for a meeting with the doctors, nurses, physio’s, home care teams, you name it they would have been at this meeting. I think they just wanted to get rid of me in the end :)

Unfortunately, she took a turn for the worse later that week, and she died 2 days before the meeting.

So,,,,,lol,,,,,,,I feel pretty angry at our wonderful brand spanking new hospital.

I’d love to know how our courts work, I really would. The police do their bit to build a case, the prosecutors do their bit to make sure it gets to court and from then on everthing seems to work in a different reality.

The courts work on out of date laws ,,,,,, laws which won’t be changed, while there are peadophiles on the benches,,,,,,,is one!!

The police as you say, build a case, dependant on what that case may be,,,,,there are some circumstances they don’t. Their reasons? it’ll never get past the CPS, cos theyre the pple who decide whether it goes to court in the first place.

Cases like the one sweet spoke about should be cut and dried, but pricey lawyers, who no doubt are costing the taxpayer, find loophole after loophole,,,,,,,,why should they care, it’s not their world is it.
