We will always be scum because

One a very rare moment, I had a taxi driver wind his window down to actually complement me on my bike. The rest are still all cunts though, except him :)

what's the name of that comedian whop does the politically correct pub landlord bit? this reminded me of that, really funny.

Bernard Righton? (not really a pub landlord, and funnier than Al Murray)

"Two coloured fellas and a lesbian went into a pub. Had a lovely evening I'm told."

That one?

Gasp! Racist.

And it has been mental out there this week. 1 ped took a swing at me yesterday. Noddy tourist bus almost crushed me into the curb - cunt. Normal bus missed me by millimetres going up Park Lane at speed - he did have the good grace to apologise for 'getting a bit close' and offered me a handshake. Surprise.

yeah that sounds like it. working men's club comedian:

john thompson of the fast show used to do this stuff in his standup.

"there's a black feller and a jewish feller stood at a bus stop. the black feller says, "what time's the bus due?" so the jewish feller says "well, half past; but they're usually late. that's privatisation for you""

yeah, it was part of the first Steve Coogan show that they did in Edinburgh with Paul Calf and stuff.. wicked show..!

okay why is that so surprising when normal bus driver being considerated? everyone always go on about how red bus driver never give consideration to cyclists but frankly, 2 years going up and down London, it's only in a rare case that the bus driver are a cunt.

but nearly all the time, they always give an amazing amount of room between the kerb and the bus if there's a cyclists in front of them and/or don't overtake the cyclist when the bus stop is only 30 metres away.

is it only me or just because 5 bus drivers were a cunt in says a week, that we automatically make assumption that all bus drivers are cunt as oppose to hundred of buses whom while overtaking us give us a massive amount of room between the kerb and the bus?

*rant in general, not aimed at you villa-ru.

Riding from Manor House to Islington, some tw@t taxi driver numbnuts starts tooting and revving his engine behind me, his bumper is about 2 fooot away form my back wheel, which is scary stuff when your whacking through a residential street in Finsbury Park. Plenty of room for him to over take if he needed to as i'm about a foot away from the yellows (kinda difficult for me to stop with out being flattend).

Eventually he over takes revving inches past me blasting his horn. I show him the Vs and shout "Twat". He responds to this by cutting me up and stopping front of me, winding down his window he shouts

"You-fuck, fuck you, you no tell me fuck off, you ride to far away from pavement I run you down next time"

I repond by shouting

"wanker"

followed by another round of the Vs as he bombs off

totally agree with you. i find bus drivers among the most consistantly considerate and patient drivers in london. i even noticed one yesterday taking an exaggerated wide and slow left turn because he'd seen me behind him, then lost sight of me (i'd dropped back waiting for him to turn off). he was obvioulsy being extra cautious just in case i'd decided to come up the inside and he'd somehow not seen me.

i even started a "hooray for bus drivers" thread a month or two back. it got pretty much shouted down by handful of anecdotal stories of cunty bus behaviour.

meh

Last week I was inches away from taking out a Japanese tourist who bounded out form behind a 38 like a doe eyed antelope, as i swerved (wobbled) past she shouted

"very sorry sir"

Agree 100%. I've never once had a problem with buses or taxis, it's always white vans and expensive cars. And anybody in a car in Chiswick.

Got backended by a bus while stationery right outside Liverpool st last night. Got pushed forward a good metre. You can even win when you've stopped!

So cycling up burntwood lane (fairly long and consistent hill), get to the top and pretty nackered as had just been training and slowing down for the light clipped some old bangers mirror not enough to move it but noticeable. The man in the car winds dow the window screaming at me about fucking cyclists etc. The light changes i cycle off and he follows me down the road comes up next to me with his window open still swearing at me until i had had enough hop the curb and go across wandsworth common. People that angry should just not be allowed on the road!!!

It's like I didn't actually post about Bernard Righton.

spot on Dooks, and I think the character Jon Thomson did was called Bernard Righton? He wasn't really a pub landlord, but some people though he was funnier than Al Murray in his day.

You cunt.

(t)OOL has left.

Two lesbians. Sisters, probably. Me just watching.

Riding my fixed gear bike is like an on-going war with the people and environment around me, everyone hates it, its so non conformist.

really?

I have had some guy hoot at me, lower his window and then tell me "watch where you are going", while cycling in a straight line down a straight road, less than 1 metre from the curb.

Always ride at least 1 metre from the edge, for everybodies safety. Means you dont swerve out for potholes and get rear ended by cars.
