On a brighter note, the other day I saw an Audi go right to the
other side of the road to pass a cyclist. :-)

I do that every time I pass a cyclist.


I leave a couple of metres. Is that not what the Highway Code
recommends? It's about 50 years since I last studied it in any
detail.

Two metres is fine.

QUOTE:

According to the new law to protect cyclists, the driver needs to
leave a minimum distance from a cyclist when overtaking or
travelling alongside the bike or they could receive a fine. This
would be £100 and three points on the licence for being too close
to a bike on the road.

So, how close is too close? According to experts, the recommended
distance between car and cyclist is 1.5 metres. If you are caught
within this distance, then you face the potential of a fine and
points on your licence, to the same value as speeding. This has
replaced the previous recommendation in the Highway Code which
merely said that drivers should leave 'plenty of room' when
overtaking someone on a bike.

Should not a problem as most cyclists are on the footpath anyway.


Waiting for your blood-dripping sharpened battleaxe.

Who uses a blunt battleaxe?

Executioner's axes were usually blunt instruments that crushed the
victims neck and tore the head from the body by brute force.

Pillock.


Yes, I think that instrument would work also.


A Bull's penis was used as a flogging device, called a Pizzle.
Maybe that it what Pounder aspires to.

That sounds like him.
The Romans had a heavy spear called a pilum, but I bet Pounder prefers
the pizzle.
