This morning's commute and other commuting stories

but you do seem to be getting your knickers in a twist about the way some have responded to you. you accused me of trolling you ferinstance. no one on here agrees 100% about anything. stick about and you'll see that. i like to think, however, that people that sign up for the express purpose of banging on about a single issue du jour get called out for being the yawnsome bores they invariably present themselves as being. have great day.

It has liquid magma in it.

Haha so true

that people that sign up for the express purpose of banging on about a single issue

Not sure where you got that from, I've been knocking around this forum for years from when I was racing at HH, some was under a previous log on lost a while ago and even in this user name which was activated a couple of months ago I've been on the forum a few times

it's fucking jeez, isn't it?

I was literally about to post the same.

I like this thread more when we're all telling @greenhell about what we were wearing on our commutes.

I'll start:

Waterproofs.

@TW

Half way through posting the same thing

no one on here agrees 100% about anything.

I agree 100%.

tena?

Mudguards eurgh...

100 of them, stitched into a jacket and trouser combo.

I don't do McChucks.

no one on here agrees 100% about anything

Yes they do!

sounds hot...

However I can't really see the point of a forum with completely homogenous view points where any debate or contrary position which is reasonable and not gratuitously offensive is shouted down.

Me neither. That's why I put @greenhell on ignore long, long ago. Makes the place much more like a forum for discussion and debate rather than a venue for flinging personal abuse at anyone who has the temerity to express a different point of view. It's not a perfect or complete solution, as there are other LFGSSers who seem to treat a difference of opinion as an existential threat, but since there are no downsides it's a step in the right direction.

see that's the problem with putting people on ignore - you only get half the story and then you look like a bit of a plonker when you weigh in with your size fives on the back of one person's not entirely unbiased comments on any given topic, don't you @danstuff?

It's hotter than the sun!

Has anyone got any nice apple pie recipes?

Crumble>Strudel>Pie

I thought this was the one thing this forum agreed on 100%

The real issue of contention - custard, ice cream or cream with that crumble?

Who let the crack smokers in?

Pie > Crumble > Apple Slice > Apple Turnover > Everything else > Strudel

Any fucking raisins, sultanas or any other errant fruit in my pie/crumble/etc is punishable by flying monkey death squad.

Not sure about that. Good Strudel > Bad Crumble. But for crumbles, strudels and pies of similar or average qualities, I can't see how anyone could disagree. Although I would of course defend their right to do so.

Fuck a snitch. Should have dashed a hand pump in his front wheel

The correct aka hippy method is described thusly:

Big bowl, full of apple-based dessert FOLLOWED BY custard or ice cream.

The only exception to this rule is if whipped cream is available then it shall gain a place on the apple-based dessert.

No other variations permitted.
