Bikers Strike in London Yesterday

Yesterday, I witnessed the bikers manifestation in Milbank, London. They were driving around the circle and blocked the traffic. I was on the bus, stacked in the traffic for 10-15 min.
Apparently, the Underground workers are not the only once who are not happy. The bikers were on the strike against London Congestion Charge.

Ihateryanair.org's story of the day

"Ryanair, the World's most hated airline..." - that how the creator/editor of Ihateryanair.org site starts every single article on his site. Today his site became more famous because of the articles published in UK's papers this morning.
The editor got into a trouble because he earned £322 from the sponsored links on his site. He moved the site to the new domain (from co.uk to org) and continues attract unsatisfied customer of Ryanair.
Everybody in the world know that Ryanair is the worst airline and I believe people must know the truth about them. I believe that there is not one single person in the world who travels regularly and has nothing to say about Ryanair...

Jam From Italy by Rossi Family

Today I received a nice present from Rossi Family - two jars of jam made by Rosa Rossi. I wish to thank Signora Rossi for this gift as it is very tasty and it's one of the best jams I have ever tried.
Short history of the jam. Rossi's jam is made in a small village, north of Italy, called Carfon, closed to Belluno. The population of the village is approximately 50 people.
I also have been given a secret recipe of the jam by one of the family member who asked not to be named, which is the following:
Luigi Rossi, Rosa's husband collects fruits (Rossi family use apples, elders and plumb fro their jam) in July. Rosa Rossi wash and cut the fruits in small pieces, and puts them in a big pot with sugar (1kg of fruits and 800gr of sugar) and cooks them slowly for 3-4 hours.

London's Nightmare - London Tube Strike

If you live in London you can become a victim of tube strikes. This morning (4th of October) people were walking to work as it was impossible to get on the bus, as all of them were full and the bus drivers did not open the doors. This is a nightmare, and when this is going to stop. The employees of London Underground regularly organise this kind of event, which affect us, normal people. The people who live far from the centre managed to get to work on time, as they could get the place on the bus, the rest of us WALKED.
There are the pictures from today's morning:
