“DfT statistics reveal that the biggest single contributory factor in cycle...”
– I wonder if “failing to look properly” includes “misinterpreting ‘red’ as ‘go’ at traffic lights”. Also I’m surprised that “being a general dickhead” doesn’t rank higher. I of course am the perfect cyclist, with only 1 black...

Bek's leaving drinks
This is an account of Bek’s work leaving drinks yesterday, from my perspective. 9am: we’re on our way to work, Bek says: I’ll probably be home by 6; I don’t think much is going to happen. 4:30pm: phone call to say: I’ve just gone to the pub. It’s pretty quiet, I don’t think I’ll be long. 6:43pm: text to say: Still in pub have a bottle of...

– Grooveshark’s business strategy laid bare in internal emails, revealed during Universal’s copyright lawsuit against them. These were the words of chairman Sina Simantob. Ha. Ha. Ha. Caught you redhanded, as Shaggy once sang.

"Not that type of player"
Some great untruisms in this defence of Alan Hutton by Aston Villa: People haven’t said in the past that Alan is aggressive, goes over the ball and is a dirty full-back. I don’t think anybody has ever said that in his career. Only because the go-to story about Hutton is about when he beat up his dad outside a pub, and that’s more interesting than his football. We know he...

“Well, maybe he would be in the south of England”
– Graham Taylor is one of my favourite pundits. This was a response to what the host expected would be a mainly rhetorical question: Harry Redknapp would be a popular appointment as England manager, with fans and media, wouldn’t he?

gravyholocaust: The Nobel prize in Medicine was announced today and I have an idea that I think is at least as important. Here is what I’m proposing we buy 30 U133 plus 2.0 gene array chips and test them across 15 incredibly smart people and 15 total fucking paste eating troglodytes. That’s right we are…
