Pedals not at 180 degrees to the ground? Or the pathetic lock is just wrapped around the saddle and an even more patrhetic anchor point (the wooden fence)?

I'm gonna go with the fence itself, wonky planks at the top and varying amounts of screws, some planks have 1 others have 2

Cannot see anything really wrong with the bike (apart from the fact that someone would have it away with a quick kick to the plank it's locked too)

Different front and rear tyre? :/

Hipster douchebag bike?

[Funk]

I think some of these are really stretching the point. I have no idea what's 'wrong' with the bike.

On the front wheel, some of the spoke pairs are parallel and some are crossed.

Getting your finger in the pic is very annoying.

I felt like a right tit taking a photo of a sign next to a busy junction.

13.00pm itches more than the misspelling.

It irritates me that broadcasters, among others, quote midnight and noon as (variously) "12pm" or "12am". I genuinely do know which is which because 11:59pm is evening, 11:59am is morning based on eleven hours and fifty nine minutes into the ante or post meridiem period. Commonly 12pm is taken to mean noon and 12am to mean midnight but logically if 11:59pm is almost midnight, 12:00pm is midnight not midday. Nuts!

There's no such thing as 12am. "ante meridiem" means "before noon" and "post meridiem" means "after noon". Noon itself is neither of those things, it's just noon; I suppose you could argue that midnight is "pm" because it's usually considered to be part of the preceding day (if someone says "midnight on the Monday" they generally mean the midnight at the end of Monday) and hence is after noon on that day.

Quite, but various publishers still use it! Read through a TV guide and somewhere you'll find an example...

What about the 'L' in lions not being capitalised?

[iva cosworth]

I have issues with the cone too.....

[JontyR]

That and they can't decide whether to start each new line with a capital or not.

Plus there is a lack of punctuation! Red pen and 3/10!
