Mark Graham at George gets the media prize. He rang me just as the crowd surged on. Breaking news on a live cross! With actual news!

I've noticed swaying each time I've run it. The railing doesn't feel at all perilous.
Yesterday I felt no swaying, but we were in the centre lane, so I couldn't make a direct comparison.
(Doesn't it require moving in rhythm to create a hazard? Middle class white folk are not especially known for that talent...)

What we have here is a Dionysian upwelling of two-wheeled elán as the curvy round-wheeled cycles (representing the feminine principle) paradoxically push through the flimsy blue-clothed representatives of Apollonian order.
I must confess that was going through my mind also. But I had the accent in a different place.

Neither. My answer is here.

One more thing - Nick D'Angelo, thanks for that intelligence you slipped me for passing on to the crowd. Excellent.

So I guess you just gave up on the "We will be insisting that we get to cross, but will not force our way onto the Bridge. It is the Police's call as to whether we get across" bit you put in the flyer :>
It turned out quite differently from either my expectations or intentions.
I'll write about it in the morning because an unrelated lunch/wake has intervened.
I'll just say this: they didn't need to close the centre lanes, and the fact that they did leaves me thinking there was a tactical cynicism to the decision.

I just checked. GP.
I should say that it was a message to me, rather than the forum.
If they were writing in this context, I imagine they might want to couch the argument in more precise terms - and they might not necessarily wish to engage in the debate here - which is why I haven't attributed this.

I gave them the fullest benefit of the doubt. They signed their name (Dr).

I have had an email from a doctor who would like me to consider the arguments in favour.
You may have had antibiotics without recovery aids for years, but pre-probiotics are a very positive help.
It has been found that about 75% of our immune system lies in the gut, its walls etc.
The gut is kept healthy by the activities of good bacteria, and they breakdown fibre as their food.
Antibiotics kill bad bacteria in the gut as well as the ones in your blood stream causing particular symptoms. But they also kill good bacteria.
The pre-probiotics replace good bacteria, and more so than a feed of acidophilus yoghurt.
It may not be the best product on the market.. there are lots.. but certainly better than nothing.
Keeping your gut healthy may stop as much need for antibiotics in the future. -
Don't push me ('cos I'm Close to the Edge)
It's like a jingle sometimes.
