The end of the line for the old European Bike Express Adriatic route, when it was run by Bolero, was the former Auto Union works holiday camp near Venice, now called "Union Lido".

This video would better be posted on a "What could happen when people park like fuds" thread, but I reckon I won't create a new thread just for that:

Michael Hartmann: new hero.

I will be going over, not around, in future.

God, I was so tempted to do that this affa - coming back from my old man's, I crossed North Road at the toucan crossing, which has a run-off/on for bikes at the side road, but there was a massive fucking 4x4 parked across the run-off, all over the pavement and all.

I didn't, of course. I just bounced down the kerb onto the road. No wonder I usually ignore the toucan and just turn left onto North Road then right into one of the side streets.

Different car, same place:

Waco police said the shooting happened shortly after midday when rival gangs got into a fight, apparently over parking space near the restaurant. Up to five gangs were involved.
9 people shot in fight over parking. For motorbikes.

(Might have been a little more to it than parking, I'd think, but that's the way it's reported.)

Fantastic news that the ready availability of firearms once again proved to be a protection.

Completely off topic here...

Many years ago, I was watching a late evening chat show on BBC North East. The initial programme had guests on to talk about their new show at the Theatre Royal, but earlier that day there had been the minor disgreement that was the seizure of the USA embassy in Tehran. That was discussed on one side between a baying mob of rent-a-gob Iranian students clutching copies of various booklets of The The Thoughts of Chairman Khomeini, and on stage the heavily refreshed pair of, er, Jimmy Edwards and Eric Sykes.

This thread is turning into "Today's motorised moron part 2".  Surely it should be for parking crimes rather than just driving into things?

Given a sufficiently unskilled driver, driving into things is indistinguishable from parking.

Just south of Stonebridge Locks (visible in the background) on the Lea Navigation.  Someone has driven down the towpath to park next to a boat.

I don't know what possesses some people

Surely that is easily fixed with Semtex GBFO bollards?

Automatic rising ones that only rise if they detect a car parked above them?
