When I see an adult on a bicycle I do not despair for the future of the
human race.

There is a plaque with that inscription on the Waterlink Way in
Beckenham.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed
him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing
is stupid and boring.

The word comes from the Greek: ο� ("not") and τόπος ("place") and means
"no place".

So cycle tracks will abound in no place.

Well done Cwispie.

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

The word comes from the Greek: ?? ("not") and ????? ("place") and means
"no place".

So cycle tracks will abound in no place.

Well done Cwispie.

God you are thick!

It was HG Wells who wrote that, not me.

No it wasn't - he died years ago. Your keyboard didn't even exist while he
was alive.

This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Who wrote that? Me or Bill?
