I just got punched by a Jay-walker in a suit

It was CC's future self, embittered by 40 years of courier work, hoping to prompt a change in career direction for his past self.

He clearly failed, or he wouldn't have needed to try in the second place.

i considered it, but deiced that the police would not look happily upon me stopping, calmly locking my bike, then twating him in the face.

@kisho

Forget locking the bike. Hit him with the lock

there should be. what do you call it when some one steps out into the street not at a crossing or junction? whatever it is i bet its weird, and a bit to french.

It's called marchemonting, and there's even a street in Bloomsbury named after the phenomenon.

This thread is beginning to smell of bike radar.

No offense pal, but did you not slow down or owt?

No need for the punch, but it's Soho. Not much room, dinner time, crazy people?

I'm surprised that your surprised to be honest

your surprised what?

liberty ;)
is that what the french commie terrorists gave you, while i grew up with sexy american freedom?

Sounds like you need to get a D-lock for some face pounding action.

Or a whiiiinehouse elbow.

I wonder if he'd have punched me...............? Cheerful, loving bloke that I am.

Crish (shortened), don't take that shit next time. Drop your bike (gently) and "defend" yourself ...........several times.

CC, why did you not stop, turn round and whack him back?

I told that suit I wanted you knocked to the floor and visibly hurt. There is no way I am paying the cunt.
Can't rep.

HTFU Crash.

really? I thought Marchmont Street is just a name of a town elsewhere in England.

Unless you're into christianity and all that; which means you'll be wanting to turn the other cheek. Since we all have 4 cheeks, it means turning the other cheek up to 3 times.

Nope. I couldn't roll with that. 1 eye = 1 eye. That works for me. Anyway, I'm with the church of CharlesBronson.

sorry dude....

You shoulda twatted him Chris, I had a similar incident on The Cut where the guy slammed his briefcase into my rear wheel (I was on a green light, he was about six feet away)... I got off my bike and started shouting at the guy to stop, he kept walking... I chased him down and got toe-to-toe with him and he calmly walked around me and asked me to 'Keep up, we can talk about this while I'm walking to the station. I'm late for my train'... His lip was quivering while he said it but I was so thrown by the comment that I just stood there dumbfounded... Surreal... Next time I see him he's going down...
Hope you're alright fella...

Ha, nice one Joe - eye for an eye in my book! If someone feels brave enough to assault another person then deal with the feedback

I disagree.

But hey.

What gives someone the right to assault someone else for no reason?

Mr. Crash was right for not leathering the twat. As tempting as it was! If you pardon the pun, it makes Mr. Crash the bigger man.

Couple of months back had some numpty tap me on the head with his paper as I cycled past (on a bike path!). I was so incensed, at this stupid and wanky way of an attempt at an altercation, that I had to stop and discuss why he felt the need to do this. We discussed amicably for some moments, and both came to the conclusion that he was a twat.

Soho. It's where the suits hang now that they don't have jobs in the city.

I thought that was Browns? I saw a suit literally fall out of there at 5pm yesterday, glassy eyed and obv having been drinking for hours. Tripped on his own James Smith !

I imaginised it. I only deal in the ethereal, the speculative, and the supernatural. tynan would be so disappointed in me.

You sure he wasn't jive-talkin' ?

Joe's post reminded me of a time when I nearly hit Keith Chegwin on The Cut...fncking shortarse

Good effort for not retaliating...

I just went through soho...nothing... no one tried to touch my face or anything.

I really want one of those.
