Well done Porky.


Hagfish are the perfect example of the beauty of ugly. Hagfish are
deep- sea
creatures with an eel-like body shape. Reaching 3-feet in length, they
are jawless,
boneless, scaleless deep-sea scavengers that ooze slime - buckets of
slime. Hagfish
are so disgusting scientists shudder when they accidentally catch one.
When asked to
describe hagfish deep-sea researcher Tamara Frank said,
"Bleeeecccchhh." She added,
"I know they play a very important role in the marine ecosystem, but
bleeecccchhhh!"

Why thank you kind sir for your complete accolade as to my achievements!
I am now working towards the next step of being utterly despicable ****-
for-brains pathetic nincompoop stench-rotting nostril-curdling
decomposing octopus!
Thank you once again sweetie --

*Smooch*

Well you do it all the time.

So do you.

Which is not against the law.

Unfortunately but it should be.

with its flung open doors, is a
prime example. Allowing life threatening air pollution and speeds from
cars is another.


It is also probably true to say that most cyclists who suffer the
inconvenience of riding on pavements are scared ****less of our busy
roads.


Or they could just be lazy sods who think rules do no apply to them.

Cycling on pavements is much more difficult that cycling on roads, due
to the amount of clutter and discontinuous surfaces.

Similarly RLJ may sometimes offer greater safety from a mass of
fast accelerating traffic.


But of course endangers other road users.

Not necessarily and not nearly as much as dangerous drivers.

BTW, drivers kill cyclists but cyclists do not kill drivers.

Does that *clutter* include pedestrians? In my experience as a
pedestrian, you get a load of verbal abuse if you dare get in the way
of a fast moving cyclist on a pavement, even though it is designated
for the use of pedestrians!

Similarly RLJ may sometimes offer greater safety from a mass of
fast accelerating traffic.


But of course endangers other road users.

Other road users include pedestrians on light controlled crossings and
junctions. They are sometimes knocked over and injured or killed by
RLJing cyclists.

So do you.


You have no proof of that, but you admit to using an illegal vehicle.

Glad you agree that street parking as such, is not against the law,


with its flung open doors, is a
prime example. Allowing life threatening air pollution and speeds from
cars is another.


It is also probably true to say that most cyclists who suffer the

If it's that difficult don't do it, lack of mention of pedestrians noted.


Similarly RLJ may sometimes offer greater safety from a mass of
fast accelerating traffic.

As I have previously stated, I have never had to dodge a motor vehicle
driving over a crossing while the green man is showing, I have to do it
at least twice a week for cyclists

BTW, drivers kill cyclists but cyclists do not kill drivers.


Which has nothing to do with lawbreaking

I've found that to be rare.

um a lot of that is legal. my street has cars double parked sometimes,
but kids still play in the street, cars and bikes have to wait for them,
as it should be.

It is also probably true to say that most cyclists who suffer the

`They may say that but I dought that they have though of it at all to be
honest.

ps your sig is still broken.
