M&J seafood

oi Urchins back on topic.

the question is, if I am such a cunt magnet why do I never get laid?

Quote of the day.

Sorry to hear it though J, WAC.

No not in the slightest, but you were suggesting we ring up and complain, even though the driver had done nothing to us.

No we don't all call up but a few do and state that this could be negative for the company if it gets to the press which it could do unless the company puts in place a process to train their drivers in aggression management. Its a recession no one wants bad press but they do need to be educated.

Who here is a journalist and can phone the company up and say that they are thinking of running a story and want a quote from their press office?

Don't let fuckers like this get away with it as someone you know could be the next victim.

^^^^^^^^^^^

ha ha fcuking ha rilliant

haha!

we want that driver's head on a pike.

That's better - for a moment I thought everyone had clammed up.

I thought that was going to be a pearl of a joke but in the end it was a damp squid.

Pearl's a swinger. Fact.

Hold the front page. There's nothing that the papers would be remotely interested in in this barely-told story.
Unless the OP wants to tell us the full story, that is...

Dancing James really is Melissa Messenger and was attacked by a man with a large rod and a van full of fish. All you need is some spin ;o)))

i'm shell shocked at the dogfish fight that happened....

i'll get my coat

Fish don't have coats.

I have already thrown it out of the door you had better run to get it.....

always thought zed was a fishy fucker

he doesn't clean often.

Fish don't have coats.

Horses do.

Vegans do eat less shit than non vegans.

What do you think they spread on all those fields of veggies?

Vegans do eat less shit than non-vegans.

Talk a lot more of it though...

sounds horrible james. Amazing how many people on the road are simultaneously thick and malicious whenever dancing james is cycling near them.

fixed that for you

i spied an m&j van delivering to my office building just now.

no drama to report.

mouse, tell me about it. I do seem to attract trouble, though part of it is due to my general ethic in life - be nice to me and I am nice back, mess with me and I will return the favour with extra force.

DJ, I don't know you and neither have I seen you ride, or been around you when drivers have a go, so this is based entirely on the string of threads listed further up this thread. But if you're so convinced you're a cunt-magnet, then you must be doing SOMETHING to attract them. Agreed?

The common theme running through all of those listed threads (and others of your I've read) seems to be that you DON'T return stuff with force, implied or otherwise. You just raise the stakes in the insult game, or initiate the abuse (in response to something like a beeped horn) and then run away. Are you telling me that you are genuinely surprised that you have people trying to fight you for that?

Put it into a different context. You are in a pub and someone says "Watch it!" as you're walking through the pub innocently, because the two of you are about to bump and knock over the drinks he's carrying. You wouldn't immediately give him "the Nescafe shuffle" and called him a cunt to his face, or I'd expect you to get punched.

So if someone beeps a horn at you and you lay into them with abuse that you aren't prepared to back up with force, are you surprised that they chase you down to get THEIR pound of flesh back off of you?

If they beeped a horn, obviously THEY felt they had good reason to do it, even if they may have been in the wrong. They wouldn't have done it if they didn't think you'd done something wrong, or if they were giving you a warning that they were close behind you. However, if you stop, look round, look confused, "Me? Why..?!? What do you think I did wrong?" and then discuss, they might learn something, or you might find they meant something else by beeping the horn. If you just go straight for "You fucking cunt!" then what choices do you leave THEM with? "Oh yes, I'll just accept the shit from that cyclist who swore at me and then ran away, so I'll just toddle on my merry way and let it go shall I"? They either accept your abuse, or take issue with you. So what if they're not happy to accept it because they don't believe they are in the wrong?

What if they have the attitude the same as you, that if someone is rude to them, they'll give it back with extra force? How comes you have the right to escalate things and yet they don't? And how come you have the right to give people some pretty forceful abuse and they don't have the right to call you out on it? It seems that because you are a swearer, it's ok for everyone to swear, and you intend to be swearing with more force than they will. But because you're not a fighter, it's suddenly wrong for them to want to punch you when you swear at them.

When you break down some of your threads, there APPEARS to be a definite bias in favour of yourself, your own rights and your expectations, over the rights of others to be able to expect the same/similar, or have their own moral code which doesn't suit you. The problem is, they are GOING to have that moral code, whether you like it or not - and they don't need your approval to do so. And no amount of support from the forum in response to telling one side of a story will change the views of other people.

If you're worried about being a cunt magnet, consider what it is that YOU do to attract them.

^ that's a very good point.

Sorry for the long post - it was a bit of a bream of consciousness.
