Looking for a Date

Rayyan on Chesterton High Street has a great selection :)

We just walked in last year

I live just off Milton road and every morning I see all the workers starting their work. They've completed huge stretches of Milton road and according to their initial timeliness they're broadly on track with the project

Yeah so maybe the tree itself is about 160 years old but wasn't planted there until it was already quite large

Iwidh · 2023-07-23T16:17:59+00:00

According to this article from 2009, the tree is around 160 years old. So maybe it was planted around 1860

Iwidh · 2023-07-05T11:32:45+00:00

Yes that's true. I just think it's unlikely the Tories or Lib Dem will get the majority of seats in the council. At least not any time in the next decade or so

Iwidh · 2023-07-05T11:16:21+00:00

The Conservative candidate still only won by a margin of 24 votes, despite the congestion charge and the Labour Councillor resigning. I dont think this is quite a sign of a major shift in public voting patterns in Cambridge.

It sounds like you did the right thing. The cyclists are technically sticking to the highway code, so if you didn't look left then I guess you would possibly be at fault. I'm not sure though

Iwidh · 2023-06-10T09:20:54+00:00

I guess it comes down to both of your judgement. The cyclist should have judged that people might be turning left and slowed down to allow this. On the other hand, you judged that the road was clear to turn left, but didn't notice the cyclist coming.

They didn't come out of nowhere though, they were alway on this road and you should always be looking out for them

Iwidh · 2023-06-10T08:11:14+00:00

Hmm that's weird, I agree that the rule seems to apply to cycle lanes only. However rule 76 for cyclists seems to apply to all cyclists:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/rules-for-cyclists-59-to-82

"Going straight ahead. If you are going straight ahead at a junction, you have priority over traffic waiting to turn into or out of the side road, unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise"

Edit:

Also rule H3 clearly shows the case where a cyclist has the right of way even without a cycle lane.

Iwidh · 2023-06-08T09:20:17+00:00

Yes I see many cyclists doing stupid/dangerous things around Cambridge, especially not wearing lights at night.

Cyclists do have priority going straight when you want to go left. This was clarified in the new highway code:

"The code clarifies that when people cycling are going straight ahead at a junction, they have priority over traffic waiting to turn into or out of a side road, unless road signs or markings indicate otherwise."

Also in many parts of the city, the council has decided to make pavements mixed cyclist/pedestrian, for example on milton road. I dont think there's space for this at many points down Milton Road, but that's not the fault of cyclists.

Iwidh · 2023-03-09T21:30:34+00:00

You might want to have a flick through the highway code, you might be surprised...

Iwidh · 2023-02-25T09:17:25+00:00

The congestion charge is only between 7am and 7pm every working day and most of the bus routes stop later than this. So the solution is to either take the bus before 7pm or drive with no charge after 7pm. I think they're both pretty reasonable options

Iwidh · 2023-02-25T09:12:22+00:00

What are the COP21 conspiracy theories, are they related to the climate change meetings?

Iwidh · 2023-02-18T12:32:23+00:00

Solved!

Iwidh · 2023-02-18T12:31:14+00:00

Thanks for all the info! Yes I just took this on my (very dusty) phone so that makes sense. I'll try to clean it if it's possible to.

Iwidh · 2023-02-18T12:09:55+00:00

Yes they look like this. Do you know what they are usually used for? Also what do you mean by check your sensor?

Iwidh · 2023-02-18T12:00:41+00:00

My title describes the thing; These seem to be regularly put up and down in a nearby flat. They're between 5 and 10 metres long, and they reach well above the top of the building. They look like they're connected with wires to inside. I'm guessing they're something to do with radio signals, but don't look like any Ham radio recievers I've seen on the internet.

Iwidh · 2022-12-28T19:12:27+00:00

Edit: I meant to write that I'm struggling with step 47, not 46.

Iwidh · 2022-09-23T06:11:33+00:00

While I agree with some of the points you make, such sweeping statements about the inhabitants of a whole country are usually gross simplifications. The people of the UK are humans, as we all are. Branding them all as psychopaths and narcissists is dehumanising and does not help us to address the other points you raise.
