London Cyclist Stopped By Police For Cycling On Cycling Path

  1. Short and not really funny. Cop stops a bicyclist in London and then apologizes because he didn't see the bike path sign painted on the sidewalk.

    Pass the brownies!

  5. Bless your heart, 7!

    Anybody have any scoop on the Scottish Referendum, while we're in the UK neck of the woods?

    1. @Kno: votes are being counted as we speak!

    2. A friend of mine is married to a Scot, and his mother (who still lives in Scotland) was telling the kids that it probably wouldn't pass because older Scots are against it and younger Scots are for it, and there are more older Scots there to vote because the many of the younger Scots have either moved away or aren't eligible to vote. I don't know if that's true, but that's one feisty old Scottish lady's take on it.

    3. An 11 year old kid in my form today categorically stayed she was Scottish, not British. I got the impression that was dad talking though. I'm genuinely interested in waking up to the result at 7am tomorrow. It'll be a close result!

  6. Votes are not being counted yet, the polls dont close for another 2 hours!

  8. I'm watching the exit polls like a madwoman. So. Much. DRAMA!

  9. I understand everyone's positively stunned by the turnout.
    Either side only needs 50% PLUS ONE VOTE.
    I hope they don't suffer the dangling chad ordeal.

  10. As long as England doesn't invade them and try to take them back like certain countries would if they break away.

  11. Apparently the vote is more exciting than this video. Sad Enty had to label it funny because he knows no one wants to watch these videos.

  12. No hanging chads, we vote by putting a cross on paper. Expecting lots of recounts though.

  13. i didn't think they were doing any exit polls?

    Voting closes at 10pm so probably won't know the result until early tomorrow morning.

    Violet's opinion (disclaimer: i know nothing): no vote will win by a bigger margin than expected.

  14. @Violet - I expect that press from other countries are conducting exit polls of some kind. I see stuff pop up every couple of hours. Not anywhere reliable.

  15. In the United States, the cop would have tackled the cyclist, tazed him (or worse) then arrested him for "resisting arrest".

  17. My father was from Poland and my mother from Ireland. They met in London where I was born. My father had a Scottish last name and used to walk around London in a kilt from a certain clan - my mother thought he was MAD!

    Come to find out when he died (he was fairly secretive and also I wasn't raised with him after the age of 7) ... a treasure trove of family documents dating back over a hundred years shows that his paternal great-grandfather emigrated from Scotland to Poland.

    Go figure!

    So I'm at least 1/16th Scottish.

    And yes, he did his research, my family name *is* a member of that clan.

    But still ... he had a Polish accent and was chubby so he must have looked ridiculous in that kilt!

  19. I misspoke, it was his grandfather so I'm 1/8th Scottish. So 5/8ths of me was all "Eff the Brits" today but sadly, twas not to be ...
