I'm sensing erm, issues.....

Very well argued response by the way.

LOL .. I'm constantly amazed (and amused) to read someone post the biggest pile of shite imaginable, and then respond with a sarcastic comment like the above, when his interlocutor treats it with the derision or disdain that it so richly deserves.

How did this romance go so badly downhill so quickly :-(

If only there was some way people could travel independently around the city without worrying about driving & parking the overengineered 4x4 shopping collection vehicle, or without the unpleasant experience of pubic [sic] transport ...

Couple of classic saloon-bar debaters, holding forth over a light and bitter. They'll be agreeing again come kicking-out time

Mopeds!

Mopeds!

And horses, don't forget horses

Those little scooter things that fold up?

ride the poor. piggyback rides are the safest way to travel in london

we can have the poor just wander around london (picking up trash and such when they're not carrying a fare) and when someone needs to get somewhere they just hop on their back and tell them where they need to go.

if you think about it, it solves so many problems.

-improved fitness means less burden on nhs
-no such thing as unemployed anymore, zero unemployment!
-we can get sports clothing companies to sponsor it and the poor still get to wear their fila/adidas/nike clothes they covet so much, only now it fills the nations coffers too.
-pedestrians literally have right of way everywhere, no such thing as jumping red lights, journey times in the city will be slashed.
-when they finish work at the end of the day we can just hose them down with our new water cannons and not only will it ensure they disperse properly after but it'll prevent any kind of uprising based on poor working conditions. , plus they'll likely be too tired to fight anything.
-the poor can keep their tips which means we won't have to pay them or give them benefits

in honour of our great leader I propose we call the scheme 'Boris Backies' but as it's creator I demand 30% of the takings.

patent pending.

Ok. This is being a marker for me until tomorrow morning.

Until now Jeez I've had some agreements with you and some not. However that's ok.

That statement is really taking the piss. I'm going to wait to decide if I ignore or not now.

I'm pondering...

After this gem from the World Cup fitba thread:

Not a great game but pretty interesting. Croatia might have scored too early. Might have had a better chance had the first goal come later.

I have gone from pondering to a 'full on' mulling...

I thought soccer was a games of chance, you can actually plan when to score a goal?

In between socking it to the man and sticking two fingers up at evil American bankers by valuing property, most people have time to draw up a football game plan to time their goal against one of the most successful teams in the world for maximum impact. You're just not drawing deeply enough on your rich seam of subjective, anecdotal but completely generalisable experience Ed. Get with the programme.

Also it was an own goal.

This morning at the lights Busch Corner I was in the ASL and as they went green I set off to have a transit flatbed beep me then try to closely overtake me, as there was a car in the other lane and I was in Primary so he couldn't. It eventually goes into a buslane and where he slowed down as went past in the other lane tooting and shouting at me....

"CAN YOU NOT READ THE FUCKING STICKERS, CYCLISTS STAY BACK"

I was ready for a shouty swear off but this left me completely open mouthed.

Later on down the road a Merc Sprinter done similar but actually overtook me only to pull in front and stop as the lights went red. I went up the side of him for another swear off where he said the exact same thing.

I spent the rest of my journey in doing massive lols and skids*

^ this attitude from people boils my piss. I'm impressed you were able to lol it off. I wish I was able to be so chill.

I wish I was able to be so chill.

Depends how big they are innit
