  • If a forumenger is a cunt on the hipster spice route and all that's around to see him are hipster spice route cunts, does the plane take off?

    .

  • wrong forum for that in-joke dal.

    talkaudio >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  • okay.jpg

  • It's always the wrong forum for the does-the-plane-take-off-physics-question.

    It still ends up on every single forum on the internet, though.

  • Oh god you should have seen the cunts on PPRuNe discuss it.

    (Professional Pilots Rumour Network)

  • It's like fly-paper for idiocy.

  • It's always the wrong forum for the does-the-plane-take-off-physics-question.

    The plane doesnt take off.

  • Lordy, we are doomed, doomed!

    car drivers will also get one and therefore no more speeding... see how that goes down

  • Twat on single speed who undertook me while I wait in the cycle box on a Boris bike at a red light. I put my left foot down, which causes you to lean slightly on those things as the BB height is very high. I actually heard the air turbulence as he passed, that's how close.

    Once the light changed I caught him, his first comment 'You can't overtake me on one of those'. Explained that undertaking was pretty stupid especially at a red. He seemed completely oblivious and was more concerned about having been over taken by a Boris bike.

    After telling him he cycles like a cunt I decided to carry on with my journey and demoralize him further by leaving him for dead.

  • Tired and emotional I was navigating the Lea Bridge road after a hot, sticky ride today. Left about a yard between myself and the curb while analysing a bit of stationary traffic and pondering a safe filter. Some twunt with posh boy hair on a classic city bike with an oh so jolly green paint job and a squish bat poking out the top of his 'Margaret Howell or whatever' Famous Five rambling bag comes belting past me on my left. I was a millisecond from adjusting to the side and would have left his marmalade sandwiches and maps of the Jurassic Coast scattered in a bloodied heap all over the pavement. I can only assume he was high on treacle pudding and real lemonade. What a scrotum !

  • ^ rep'd for lovely description (I can't actually put a comment in the rep box on my phone)

  • I can though, and have!

  • guy in a silver supra round smithfield market and up st john street towards angel FUCK YOU!!! thought i would call out a car instead of a cyclist for a change.

  • Saw an idiot riding down Oxford St. RLJ, trying to filter down the left hand side of buses that had pulled over to let passengers off and not giving peds any room when cutting through them.

    He jumped a red light, I was watching waiting for the light to change. Next I saw a woman flying in the air, no surprises, he had clipped her as he raced through. He turns around to say sorry to her and I then asked what had happened. His response was that she had jumped backwards into his path. I then explained he had been riding like a cunt and was an accident waiting to happen, that he ought to stop rather than second guess where someone choses to go to avoid his stupidity.

    He then proceeded to keep on trying to undertake me down Oxford St, so had the cretinous nature of his cuntwittery pointed out.

    Ride like a twat and endanger yourself is fine, but when you are a risk to everyone else you deserve the sharp end of my tongue.

  • Me, this morning, not paying attention to where I was going and having to thank a bus driver for stopping for me.

  • Weird one this morning. Im approaching a light, there already a motorbike and cyclist stopped in between the one way traffic on one side and a line of stationary cabs on the other.
    As I approach the cyclist, slowing down to stop, the guy pulls some sort of panicky maneuver, apparently in an attempt to get out of my way and let me get through to jump the red. He did that thing where you turn your front wheel more than 90 degrees and sort of crumple on top of yourself, and then slid down the side of the parked cab to the ground.
    All of this while stationary, and before I got the chance to tell him to chill and just wait for the light. Dont think i looked in that much of a hurry..

  • ^Hope he's alright and no damage to the bike, but that sounds incredibly funny :)

        ^Hope he's alright and no damage to the bike, but that sounds incredibly funny :)
    

    No damage, and yes, pretty hilarious.

  • Glad no damage to him. But did he make like a squeegee sound as he slid down? I hope so.

  • I got cut up on Camberwell New Road today by an idiot wannabe racer-boy wearing headphones.

    He didn't look behind him as he pulled out in front of me, or for a mile or so after, and did that annoying, selfish thing of suddenly slowing down for lights massively too early so as to avoid having to unclip. So I nearly went in to the back of him, not that he noticed.

    I couldn't get his attention as his music was clearly too loud and he was too busy watching his feet (or speedometer, or something) nor could I get around him safely due to the heavy traffic.

    Don't let me get started on the sponsored 2012 London Nodderthon which took place today - I will just say though that I saw some dangerous red light jumping, flagrant pavement riding, shoddy indicating and dozens of ill-fitting bikes.

  • ^ I accept the last point may not be intentional or any of my business, but it still makes for bad cycling.

  • did that annoying, selfish thing of suddenly slowing down for lights massively too early so as to avoid having to unclip.

    I usually slow for reds, partly to avoid unclipping, partly to conserve energy, partly it just feels nicer to be not so stop-starty. why is it selfish?

  • So do I but when you do it 100 metres away from the lights, in an erratic manner, and with no awareness of other road users (i.e. me) it's selfish.

  • When you are a risk to everyone else you deserve the sharp end of my tongue.

    This would have prompted a search for a gif or jpg entitled 'stern old woman' but I am too busy laughing
