Are you on crack? There's no time machine yet. His life is fucked. The money just helps care for him and might make the family's life a little easier. Unless you've got some magic idea on how to reverse his situation?
Exactly. As you are so blunt; his life is fucked.
Re: The money just helps care for him
How about you and all the other liberal fuckers on here start doing some proper campaigning for better road safety in the UK? For all the wet organisations pushing their shite paint lines down the road kind of solve a problem ideas, cyclists are still ending up under vehicles and fuck all is being done to prosecute drivers, is'nt it?
The police are supposed to serve and protect, and yes, sometimes they fuck-up big time and in this case they have, so they should cough up mega money to Mr. McLeod, but it will happen again to some other cyclist and the whole she-bang will start again with only the motherfucking lawyers making any money out of it, and cyclists will still be targets/victims and fuck all will be done with solving the problem (and it is a problem) of cyclists and motor vehicles on the same roads.
As we are surrounded by a public whom think that we should all help ourselves by wearing helmets to save our lives (and fuck, it's our fault if we don't) I suggest we all stick together and march on Parliament to change the shit laws of our country regarding death on the roads.
However, the general public is only interested in Eastenders, so that won't happen.
However, cyclists will moan about the right to wear earphones whilst cycling (a stupid/soft idea) and other petty matters, rather than campaign for a safer road environment for all.
No, I'm not on crack.

You guys are talking as though this dude had a choice between the compensation on the one hand, and not being knocked off his bike and put into a coma on the other. He didn't. And this ruling means that he doesn't need to live the rest of his life with lack of money - rather than his care - being the first concern. That is news that makes a horrible situation better, in anyone's books.
Fuck you. It's not in my book.
I am not saying the poor cyclist had a choice. I am saying that some cunt was driving like a cunt and the Mr. MacLeod has now had his life changed.
No money can compensate for this.
Well done for testifying but fuck you again, and it hasn't made a horrible situation "better" FFS.
I would rather be poor and healthy, than have a shit load of money in the bank and 24 hour care to live a life of pain.
Private healthcare and the pressure on the victim and his family will place a toll on all concerned.
Oh, and if you place the value of a life on monetary terms; you are one sad fucker.

True, he's a top notch wheelbuilder, but from personal experience, just make sure you get the price quoted in writing before you pay him.
I don't know whom makes his frames, but when I had the paint stripped from mine (professionally done) there was pitting behind the seat tube.
The frame hadn't even done 1000 miles, and all the riding was done in dry weather. I only got it re-sprayed because I didn't like the colour.
As far as I'm concerned his reputation is as clean as his shop.

I'm on the verge of packing it in.
Pack it in or move to France.
I've put my cycling on hold (kind of) and I'm putting all my effort into moving to a more cycling friendly country.
Oh, and Fuck Boris up his waffling arse with a jumbo jet because if he gets the go-ahead to build that feckin' airport runway near my house I'll boil his head the twat.
This fucking country. Remember your forefathers fought for this?
More coffee please?

Does anyone know what TV station she is appearing on because I will fill my trusty ol' Raleigh Maverick's panniers with bricks and reach the jowl wobbling speed of 18.2mph and then dive off just before the stupid cow enters the building and hopefully she will be squashed and in constant pain for the rest of her shallow life.
The stupid cow of a cunt.
Burn her.
Twice.
I am a lawyer.

^^ Surely his point is much the same as yours - lots of noise but little substance ?
Yes, but we don't sit on the fence stating the obvious like you.
I used to buy the cycling stuff from Aldi, but the best cheap stuff is Decathlon. Alas, their marketing department has now decided to up the prices (on bikes too) so we shall see.
Also, the best base layers I have bought have been from the likes of Screwfix.
Oh, you can fuck off as well.

In Evans retail training they taught me to tell customers who pick up black cycling gear but are put off by visibility, that it there have been scientific studies proving that black clothing actually creates the boldest outline and is therefore the best for visibility... or something along those lines.
My friend had a new rear mech attached to their bike by Evans and on changing gear for the first time on a short steep climb it ended up in their spokes.
Evans sold me a light that was shit and held water better than a sunken submarine.
In addition, Evans staff can't build or true a wheel properly.And your point is...?

Rod Liddle is a cunt.
I agree with everything he said and I like cunts.
Nice hairy, shapely ones (like they had in the 70s).
Christ on Marmite!!!
They remind me of something I had to wear when I broke my leg when I was a sprog.
