Facts I know about the sea lion's cousin, the fur seal: Will out run a human on land. Will out swim a human in the water. Are far more agile that you'd believe, they're very good at climbing. Have no collar bones. A large male weighs up to 200kgs. They have teeth like this:  And a bite pressure of 2 tonnes per cm.

Saw an actual Aston Martin Cygnet being driven on the road. Who would waste money on such a thing!
In other news the V12 Zagato makes funny things happen in my pants.

I was demonstrating some of the billing items we have done for a recent client for their product and he seemed very impressed, managed to suppress all the errors so it didn't look like it had failed _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

A bus driver who deliberately knocked a cyclist down in Bristol using his bus "as a weapon" has been jailed. From the BBC. CCTV footage here.

 Looks like the cyclist was deliberately sitting in the middle of the lane, a known tactic for when you want to piss-off a driver. TBH, there have been a couple times I've felt like getting out of the car and wrapping a wheel brace around a cyclist's head for doing just that, but that's bloody extreme.

Should have just run him over a couple of times - that way he wouldn't be such a twat ever again. Sometimes it's worth sacrificing your own life to remove certain genes from the pool...

The bus is indicating right; not exactly craziness for a cyclist to move lanes in that instance as he's approaching a dual lane set of lights.
The bus driver should have been sent down for attempted murder, not a rather paltry 17 months.
There's also a heck of a lot more back story than what's in the video.

The bus only indicates right just before he moves to the right, responsibly making drivers behind him aware of his impending manoeuvre. The cyclist is already right in the middle in front of him at that point, clearly for no other reason than to bring misery and delay to other road users. A petty crime, but one he would no doubt commit thousands of times over and over until this brave driver taught him the lesson he was so clearly begging for. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

Seriously, WTF. Both road users were in the wrong, but the way the bus driver turns sharply to knock over the cyclist (why else veer so sharply? The entire frikkin' road was clear). It almost looks comedic had it not been so serious.
