I noticed that the first thing they strategically did was dig the old cycleway up, so there's no going back now. We await their pleasure, on a work that would take them about 1 day, if they actually worked on it.

Didn't open my ballot paper. Don't care what happens. Don't care to think about it, let alone debate it, let alone get angry about it. It's Kardashian news to me.

Hard News: Change for the Better, in reply to Sam F,
I'd be going 50km/h within 10 seconds. I'd judge the light the same way I would in a car - if it's safe to stop, I would stop, otherwise I'd just go through on yellow at 50km/h and clear the intersection in about 3-4 seconds. Since you don't have rear mirrors on a bike, it's a particularly dangerous time to pull an emergency stop, since a car behind you can't tell if you're braking, and that is one of the times they're most likely to tailgate.

Hard News: Change for the Better, in reply to Sam F,
Wish I'd read that last night. I just got punked by a diagonal crossing that led me to sign saying "Cyclists, Dismount". Oh? OK, so I'm going here then, am I? Color me confused as to what that crossing is for. I was at least halfway across before I could even be sure that the image was a bicycle in the light. So, being a cycle crossing, it's purpose was to stop me being a cyclist, immediately it was done with me.
I guess it was specifically designed to be lifehacked...that one is a keeper, thanks.

So the second definition allows variants like "Hosked all over their faces" and "What a Hosk-off", and "Hoskpot"? Presumably a panel of people doing it are "Circle Hosking", and statistics like "99.999% of people admit to hosking occasionally. The left over is Hosking".

Maybe we need regional WOTYs.
But surely Dick Quax jokes are universal?

LOL, what’s the word for autological, except it’s a whole book?
ETA: I was only hoping to get a whole blog post out of that one.

It’s cool because it’s autological.
ETA: Aside: Bend your mind trying to decide if "autological" is autological. Then bend it some more trying to decide if its opposite "Heterological" is heterological.
Second: On this blog there is a quaxer who quaxes for all those who don't quax for themselves. Brown's Paradox: Who quaxes for that quaxer?
