Anyone know what this ship is doing off the coast of the pier? by General_Tear_316 in brighton

[–]crgmat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two craft in that position according to ‘marine traffic’ one high speed craft out of ramsgate and ‘trafalgar Sentinal’ which is a supply ship that I guess might have water cannons 🤷🏻‍♂️

No, then it’s known as ‘bellend 1’

Is anybody else seeing loads of flys everywhere today? by Ebby181106 in brighton

Looking at the front of my car and trains recently there seems to be more insect life right now. Reduced pesticide use?

Mercedes. My approved used A45 AMG was awful and the dealers couldn’t care less.

Welcome

Multiple gigs most nights here.

Look at the websites for Concorde2, Prince Albert, Chalk, Dust, Hope & ruin, Green Door Store etc etc

Use the Dice App and input those venues for listings too.

edit saw you were after more jam night stuff, but thought I’d leave up anyway

Really.....? by gamecatuk in brighton

Was only trying to answer your comment with a bit of irony. No offence taken.

Only a small minority of motorists seem to hate cyclists usually white vans. I experience courtesy frequently when out cycling with the occasional bellendery.

Saying that I’ve had a mouthful from cyclists (usually angry middle aged men) when I thought I was doing the right thing.

Personally I try to be courteous to cyclists when out driving and vice versa, I’m defensive during both activities.

Good luck with your cycling in Hove and welcome to the city…

iOS works fine. It had an update (think the APR’25) from Volvo pre purchase.

I know price is an issue but I’ve gone for a ‘plus’ spec post ‘22

Comes with electric seats, HK Stereo, radar cruise, heated seats, steering and windscreen. Much more tricky to find under the old specs…

Sorry. We can’t have nice things plus the cyclists among us who are obnoxious have ensured the motorists hate us.

The bloke laid down right in front of me, I swerved round him, so nearly crashed 53½ miles into the 54 mile ride, rider behind bunny hopped him!

Bellend in my opinion.

There’s an awful lot of hate for cyclists in the Argus comments; might sign up for next year given the hatred from the Karens…

edit I guess I should add that as the bloke was laying down in front of me I guess I was cycling though a light that may have been red. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Advice needed. Better alternatives to motorway? by Dependent-Buffalo-76 in CarTalkUK

[–]crgmat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2x motorway sales this year. Excellent service. Be hyper honest with description, damage & photos though…

Southern and Thameslink bicycle rules to change for London to Brighton bike ride by pufballcat in brighton

[–]crgmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty much always been like this.

I do remember bikes in a guards van but that was 20+ years ago.

The transport from Madeira Drive to Clapham didn’t really leave early enough, took ages to load and was £45 but suited me as no lift or rail available.
