The local bypass was closed yesterday so the council could mow the

We also reliably informed that cycists are responsible for all the
rubbish thrown out along the roads. So I guess it adds up.

Elf'n'Safety, innit?


What were the Elfin Safety people afraid of?

In the UK, they are afraid of criticism for not being anal enough, of
course.

Referring to the rest of my post which you decided to snip, have you
ever *been* to Italy?


YAWN, no comment.


Pillock.

Thank you.

It is a grrreat compliment when MR POUNDER uses such terms to compliment

Didn't know that cyclists lob McD's wrappers, fag packets and Monster drink cans out of their rear pockets! On motorways as well.

The really amazing thing is that this detritus manages to transform

Mr Cheerful and Mr Nugent are two very highly respected posters to this
