Voice got a bit shakey at times, but think I got my points accross.

Anyway, Transport Scotland have been in touch with Radio Scotland for my contact details.

What do you think they are going to say to me, and what should I say to them?

Probably something about Salmond being pals with Murdoch and if you keep your opinions to yourself, they’ll put a good word in for a bung

Good one. Maybe they want to offer you a job?

Take the opportunity to be heard. Believe it or not maybe they want your opinion in more detail. The government are indicating that they want to support safer cycling initiatives.

Doing what? Stumbling over my words and not being able to quote the manifesto I was banging on about?

S’pose I’ve got the makings of a good politician.

Reasonable support among MSPs for general cycling measures I’d have thought. Certainly our MSP (in the cabinet) is open to suggestions for improvements.

what should I say to them?

1. you support compulsory helmet-age
2. you want all bikes registered

Well, you sounded better *cough* than the *Splutter* *grumble* politician *choke* anyway.

3. Maximum cycle lane length of 10m

1. you support compulsory helmet-age
2. you want all bikes registered

Eh, don’t think so

promote how its good for Scotland, good for Communities and good for the NHS bill and how everyone looks with admiration to countries how actively promote cycling and new cycle ways – instead of just thinking its a current “gimmick”… but at the end of the day, money talks, and just imagine how much of that Edinburgh tram link could have been put into covered cycle lanes and free park and ride and bike-a-rent….

WWTJD?

What happened at Ross County?

OK, I didn’t hear it but I’d take the word of a real person, bad at speaking or not, over the practised evasion of your average politician. I like to think most people would feel about the same.

WWTJD?

Eh lost me there. What would the jedi do?

Ah, think I’ve got it. What would TJ do?

😆

What would TJ do?

That’s like one of those quiz questions in daytime tv or the x factor, is there a premium telephone line to call?

is there a premium telephone line to call?

I’ll talk dirty to you from my mobile?
