Spotted...

Just because you have the ability to be a prick it doesn't mean you have to be!

If you meant cool dude sincerely you shouldn't have 'emphasised' it.

If you'd written that version of your old college friend story then maybe you wouldn't have made yourself come across in the way you did.

And wanting to stand out from the crowd doesn't make you an individual...it makes you part of the whole 'wanting to stand out from the crowd' clique...sorry man but you just became another victim.
Just getting on with being yourself would have been more individual.
Now if you're quick,i hear there's a group of people on brick lane having a 'how to stand out from the crowd by riding quirky old raleigh kids bikes' meeting!

And just because you clearly have the ability to be a very angry non-individual it also means you don't have to be.

As for the comedy bike ride leaving Brick Lane, that's an excellent idea. I'm just popping out for lunch and can tootle round my 'fine fine ride'. Will you be there? I really hope so and if you are, how will I spot you? Or is the whole point is I won't spot your and you'll just be there.

I'm just trying to fit in, that's all. I'd like to be a self-appointed moral guardian of all things related to the wheel. The only difference from you and I is that I don't have to resort to using expletives to express my fury at the posts I read on this website.

So I may be a 'prick' but I do have the moral high ground AND I will stand on it which will make me 'literally' stand out of the crowd.
