Pedestrian Crossing madness

This is just sour grapes after I exposed all the crap you wrote about helmets.
Do you mean my comments based on irrefutable Newtonian mechanics? The laws of physics which determine acceleration forces due to change in velocity over distance?

To a technically challenged ignoramus, it might be crap, so I can see how you arrived at your conclusion.

Yup! Definitely sour grapes.
I know that I should not respond because the fact that you are attempting to argue with the laws of physics says quite sufficient about you. However, I do feel an irresistable urge to document the fact that in addition to having a very limited technical capacity, you are an iredeemable cockthistle too.

I'm starting to feel sorry for you now. Your brain seems to be affected by something. Do you really think that I have very little technical capacity? I've never heard that from anybody else.

I'm not sure what a cockthistle is. If it's a technical word, maybe your're right. I think I like the idea of being one anyway. I'll add it to my list of qualifications.

BTW, I've never heard of the word iredeemable before either. Ire is anger, so, does it mean deemed to be angry or something? If so you're wrong because i'm not very angry.

Ok guys think it might be tea break time. Could we stick to debating differences of opinion rather than making it personal please? Thank you :)

I don't know what an irredeemable cockthistle is either and the only time I have heard it before was when it was directed towards George Osborne so if it means you're anything like him, you may consider it a major insult!

Meanwhile in Bradford, not even the pavement is safe!
Yep, that car drove up the whole road on the pavement to get in the inside lane at the lights, I pulled over on the pavement to give them more room!

So, is that pavement part of a cycleway?

I usually pull round the corner after work to have a fag (no smoking on NHS property) before I set off home on the road. But not today as would have been Golf fodder.

So, no not a cycleway, but I could see where you were going with that. My stabilisers came off a while ago so I use the roads.

Glass houses.
Ahhh, amigafan2003! I'm sure that you once said that you had blocked me.

I think that your blockage occurred shortly after I said that your ignorance shone like a golden shaft of urine as it passed through the dark void of your intellect. This was in response to a very passionate appeal by you to try and persuade other members that their home insurance would act as a policy of motor vehicle insurance if they rode an illegal Ebike.

I see that not much has changed and I'm happy to see that your obstruction has been cleared.

You are certainly quite the cunning linguist.

What's the matter with you these days. For the last 12 months or so you've been OK. now you've gone all weird again. Why don't you loosen up a bit. I hope it's not because your underpowered bike is making you feel a bit inadequate. Come to Bristol on Sunday, try a few modern bikes and drink some beers with us. Then we can all have some fun and be friends together. A nice new bike will make you feel much better.

Thanks d8veh, I feel so much better now that you have endorsed me as being, "ok" for the last 12 months, I was feeling a little bit insecure, but now you have said that I'm ok, I'm feeling more confident.
Cheers.

See you at Bristol?
No, I won't be there. Its about a 300 mile round trip for me and I am not sufficiently interested in ebikes to invest the time and effort to go. For me, ebikes are a useful tool, not a hobby.

My wife works in PR and tourism marketing. I keep suggesting to her that she should test the appetite for an ebike event locally (Peak District / Derbyshire). If she ever gets around to it, I may see you at that one.

If ever you visit Derbyshire, you would be very welcome to call in for a chat or bike ride. I would make you welcome, I don't harbour a grudge over words displayed on an LCD screen.
