" The me-me-me culture inculcated in us all by the smartphone is the other factor. We’ve reached the point where a not-insignificant number of people don’t want to be at the gig – they want to be seen to be at the gig, so they can whack it on Instagram. As a result, every gig nowadays is a sea of glowing screens. (I was at a Nicki Minaj gig once where someone in front of me held up a tablet that was, I swear, A3-sized.)"
My son plays, my cousin plays professionally in the US, half my male relatives have played at some point and yet I still don’t really understand the rules😂
Cyclists who insist on cyling on the road on the red route, thus holding up all the traffic, despite there being a FUCKING CYCLE LANE RIGHT NEXT TO THEM!
cyclists on the pavement - specifically adults, and more specifically adults wearing cycling helmets. They should be put on some sort of register.
had one come up right behind me while I was walking along yesterday, at which point I moved into the middle of the pavement, then turned around and told him to get on the f-cking road.
In the defence of cyclists (or people on bikes because not everyone is a cyclist) 99% of cycle lanes are poorly planned, start and stop abruptly, and full of dangerous detritus such as pieces of wood, bricks, household objects and PARKED FUCKING CARS.
Seriously, we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t. Motorists and pedestrians don’t like people on the pavements OR the roads.
Fuck that. I drive, I ride a motorbike and scooter, and I ride a bike. I’m traffic in all three scenarios, just trying to make progress same as anyone else
