Revenge is sweet

no your doing it to see where you droped your mars bar

Snickers

snickers smickers! what you up to after work hippy??

jv ^well yeah obviously if you're changing lanes and stuff! but i see loads of nervous nancies checking back every 10 seconds on a straight stretch - why?!?

i check over my shoulder quite frequently, mainly so that I know where everything is around me in case I need to move suddenly in response to an unexpected obstacle. There's not usually enough time to check over my shoulder and signal when a ped steps off the curve, so if I happen to know in advance that there's not a taxi or a courier on my back wheel I can swerve round them in full confidence.

i'm not what you'd call a 'nervous nancy', as i ride pretty aggressively. i just like being aware of my surroundings. i do the same on foot or in a car.

oi nervous nancy!!

aidan oi nervous nancy!!

hah!

was asking for it i guess...

:)

aidan no your doing it to see where you droped your mars bar

Looks like you are doing OK to me..

Arrrgh fucking text language does my nut in. Try being dsylexic and reading that. I can read mirror writing and upside down pretty easily, but that hurts my head.

Aidan - I had to photograph some kids and teachers at a local school today (low point of my job), and even the kids were looking down on me not being able to spell their names right.

They shouldn't have hard to spell names really - selfish.

East london - multicultural. Not really many people called Dave you know. It was when I spelt on of the teachers names wrong it was time to leave...

i think my poor spelling comes from being mildly dyslectic and very lazy.......thanks for pointing it out matt

There's no point trying to get people's names right, unless they are well known. Local journalism demands it.

If you get their names right it means you've been listening, which just isn't journalism full stop!

aidan snickers smickers! what you up to after work hippy??

I'm doing lines of coke of prostitute's butt cheeks, same as every friday. Why?

Frank The Tank except for the abysmal spelling as usual Aids.

Aids? He doesn't look that sick to me.. well..

hippy Snickers

Marathon.

They had Marathon in Oz, very cheap, marketed as 'sports' bars, introduced a year before I left and probably pulled from shelves now:

But the proper Snickers is this:

What is now Snickers used to be called marathon over here until they changed the name years ago.

Same product, different name.

THIS was the proper Marathon. How we all mourned back in the 80s when they changed the name to a cross between 'sniggers' and 'knickers' :-(

Ah, ok. It's always been Snickers in Oz. Well, since I can recall.
Marathon bars were pretty crap but they were cheap alternative to Powerbar Protein bars.

I noticed that (in the states?) they now have a race called the "Snickers Marathon". That's just fucking with my head. Do the runners get a Snickers bar at the end, a cheapo Marathon energy bar, a limited edition retro Marathon, a foil blanket, or just a doping test...

i should consider myself lucky as i was not killed (unlike jason macintyre) or injured by the drunk that tried to drive me off my local round about yesterday evening.

i'm curious on the group consensus on what to do after such events; exact revenge, if you can, upon the car and or driver or put faith in the efforts of the police to take the appropriate action?

btw does anyone know how to trace a number plate? ie. name and address.
