    Edit to add: really? You can't ride a push bike on the road without a helmet, and I doubt many push bikers go much more than 30k's an hour.
    Not a cyclist are ya. Plenty go more than 30k's.
    Personally I wouldn't get on a bicycle or a motorbike without a helmet, regardless of what speed I intend to do.
    If you can keep your head when all about you are loosing theirs.........it's quite possible you haven't grasped the situation.

    I was going to complain about a movie poster for Transformers. The last thing we want to promote is massive robots tearing up the planet.

    more importantly, the movie will be shit. How can you tell? Simple: It has Julia Roberts in it.

    I am more concerned with the fact that it looks like Tom has a fistful of rear brake. That will be why he looks slightly worried, and she looks like a screaming wildebeast.
    I think they are about to slide into the back of a bus, oh the irony.

    There are quite a few of concern actually. Your fear is well founded. See the attached, I am concerned that a 50ft "up skirt" woman can be promoted taking a dump on the motorway. See the carnage.....
