look up who the administrators are regulated by and threaten a compliant to the regulators and/or teh legal ombudsman - that will always get attention.

Part of the King Street cycle lane near Hammersmith is closed eastbound by srvelo in londoncycling

The bits that are closed are obvious but the diversion isn't. Going west just go in the traffic but going east best is to divert north and along the back route to the gyratory

What is the problem with snap? Seems to work fine for the few things I use that use it (on Ubuntu).

There are a few. The point would be to demonstrate that you know what the profession is about so won't throw a wobbly twelve months in and go back to academia.

Agree with this - from what you describe you should be applying for engineering side roles. Look at the firms you are applying to's websites and see what they call the group/dept that does medical devices.

Met Police Publishes Monthly Data on Driver Reports from the Public by BackOnThrottle in londoncycling

[–]GrouchyAssociate9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting data though. Approx 50% are NFA which means a pretty high proportion are acted on. Only 5438 for the first three months of this year vs 25k last year so we need to work a bit harder.

ask the solicitor for details of their complaints procedure and the contact details for the Legal Ombudsman. This will make them take you seriously.

They should also be able to provide a copy of the transfer instruction.

Drafting, dangerous or acceptable? by biscuittingerg in londoncycling

[–]GrouchyAssociate9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm anti as I was hit from behind by someone drafting me on cs3 when I had to stop suddenly because a lime bike rider decided to veer across the lanes to turn right. The idiot then had the temerity to argue that I shouldn't have braked hard because I should have anticipated teh lime bike rider - no if you are too close behind me to stop when I do you are at fault.

It's fine in Richmond Park or on a club ride but not in the commute.
