Let's Stand In The Road!

The French might term it the "chemin de fer" which I gather means quite literally, the road of iron.

Be thankful London is not like this yet:

They would be hard to ride around.

Nah, there are plenty of gaps to weave through.

But, even weaving, could you avoid a bullet? Ducking is quite hard when riding fixed.

they wouldn't waste bullets. better to wait and then use the rifle butt.

is there an app for this yet?

They are bluffing clivo, I can tell, real soldiers don't stand like that.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Yes

The trouble is that real soldiers are unlikely to shoot at innocent cyclists. It's the unreal soldiers that I worry about.

They should wear shoes, these are a good form of foot protection.

I think I rather follow RPM's advise:

...the narrow part, right?

Are they RPM's shoes.

I've had a sandwich already, thanks.

shakes fist You'll feel the punalty yet, BungleMeMyFrench!

Sorry Oliver, "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CARRIAGEWAY" just doesn't scan.

Neither does 'get out of the f***ing road'. :)

Get off the fucking road?

[quote=Oliver Schick;1636869][QUOTE=BringMeMyFix;1636861][QUOTE=Oliver Schick;1636858]OK, I've been holding back but I just can't do it any longer: The thread title is all wrong. What it should read as is 'Let's Stand in the Carriageway.' The road or street comprises both the footway and the carriageway, and none of you carriageway hogs would bat an eyelid if people stood on the footway.

Fuck off.[/QUOTE]Thread hog.[/quote]
^^What are you gonna do? Multiquote me to death?[/QUOTE]

Nested quotes. I bet you didn't expect nested quotes. evil cackle

Now, this was so evil that it took even me a while to think of it.

Get out of my fucking way?

Excuse me sir/madam, you appear to be in my way. Any chance you could step aside, please?

The trouble is that real soldiers are unlikely to shoot at innocent cyclists. It's the unreal soldiers that I worry about.

Clive. You are wrong. I would finish this post with a "FACT", but I feel in this case, it is unnecessary.

I worry not about those specialist cyclist shooting soldiers. I worry about the universal soldier.

Outstanding.

Glad this one's had legs whilst I was in the pub with Teenslain getting into a standoff with very fashionable man.

Soz I am a bit pissed now.

But nested quotes made me laugh out loud, a.k.a. so called 'lol'. Thanks Oliver,

Also 'is therre an app for this yet' is intriguing me. What might the 'standing in the the road' app do?

I decided standee was wrong when I wrote stander. But I did think about it.

This is a standee:

It might be called a cardboard cutout. They're often called POS which means Point Of Sale not Pieces of Shit.

Oh god I'm ranting. And only on two Guinii.

Neither does 'get out of the f***ing road'. :)

If I ever meet you I'll be glad to demonstrate. TBH I sort of drop the "of".

I might try "carriageway" next time actually. Maybe even "GET THEE FROM THE CARRIAGEWAY".

Yeah that would be ace, like you're in a costume drama.

Will is correct, this Skully character is taking liberties. First molestation now drinking during the day, practice strictly reserved for drunks and aristocracy.

I've never been on a tweed run, but in my head the tweed rules state that everyone must address freestanders™ like that.

I comply with those restrictions. You decide which category I fall into.
