Fuck it lets send OnOne, Lynx and Object

Give them somethink to think about.. a tirade of incoherent frustration, a sea of questions, and a stream of abuse from Em

Great starting point. And the usual guff about us either being A) self-regarding eco warriors or B) a menace.

Why do we have to always be either one of these stupid assumptions?

Why can't we be cyclists cos we like wind in our hair? Look at BRM, it's obviously his reason for riding, with all that lovely hair to flow about in his windshadow.

it is a bit ott. cycling is awesome, but sometimes cyclists are bellends as are pedestrians and drivers sometimes.

Was cycling home last night and there were some serious nodders about cycling in the most random and haphazard ways I felt sorry for all the other road users due to this handful of cycling twats.

Sorry about that

Sorry about that

it wasn't you....these cyclists were going quite quickly

No thanks, hardly a level playing field is it?

^^Exactly my sentiments.

£25 to see some pompous old farts sounding off? I can go to Wests for that and still get change out of £20.

No beer for you!

meh...anyone up for hanging around outside with a few cans of fosters using the doorway as a toilet then building a bike tree?

That cut deep man, real deep!

bit one sided, innit?

RedKen and Jon Snow Vs a couple of mad old nobodys, hahaha.

BTW, speaking of mad, and in particular, old, I hear the average age of west beers is by far the most advanced by some mile, compared to the other compass points. Despite my own distinguished sageness, even I would be a youngster compared to the gentlemen who frequent wests, only last night somebody was saying that Mr. dmczone was nearing his half-century!

That cut deep man, real deep!

it was intended to. How dare you swan off round the world and pretend I aint gonna be bothered

I can't think of many more uselessly poncey things to do with an evening. I mean fancy drinking somewhere in West London..

only yolking, of course I mean the debate. Poor old John Snow, mixing it up with the wrong crew cos of his job.

someone'll probably come along to claim it's worthwhile, but it isn't.

I think we should take this outside.

Considering one of the other 'debates' is giving a platform to climate-change denier Professor Ian Plimer, whose claims have been widely refuted by most of the scientific world, I can't see this being the most balanced of evenings. Although I would like to see John Snow getting up and at 'em.

yeah we could have a race....that would be fun

What could possibly be so groundbreaking about the early life of one unremarkable man?
