Biggins Anti Cycling Mini Rant

[winjim]

Oh no he couldn't!

(Your turn)

Oh yes she could.

Where does he mention driving?

Do I look like I give a damn?

Ditto. It didn't help. He was Nero in I, Clavdivs - kudos - and an extra Rocky Horror Picture Show 40 something years ago. I do not know why a tabloid would be interviewing him.

Plus they made a multi-episode series of Cluedo???

Diving into IMDB to research I CLAVDIVS, I see that Nigel Pargeter's, off of The Archers, alter ego was also in it. That's my Thing I Have Learned Todsy.

You know Nige is dead, right?

Seems like a perfectly reasonable pet hate to me.

I'm pretty sure Biggins has reached national treasure status by now, hasn't he? Anyway, it's been panto season and he's a dame so it's his time of year. He's been doing Aladdin in Richmond so you probably could've caught him.

That probably explains why I expected my search to give me a reason I recognised the name. I guess "seen it on posters" is probably the answer.

Last pantomime dame I saw (and probably will ever see) was Sir Ian McKellan. I'm certainly not going to sully that memory with Christopher "Who?" Biggins.

I wonder if they billed him as "last surviving cast member of porridge"? Note, pointing out that is not true will not make you look smart

So is Britannicus.

Another victim of serial killer David Archer. He's a wrong 'un and no mistake.

Funny I was just reading the following from Clarkson. He seems to have a point:-

The bike needs to be two feet from the kerb to be safe. It is a foot wide and it needs five feet of clearance. That’s eight feet for a bicycle, which on most normal British roads leaves two feet for the car or truck to get past safely.

Think I might need my tin hat here but seriously there are ar soles on bikes, in cars and all walks of life.

Maybe given you posted in the first place!?

Biggins played the 'Pervy Vicar' in the original Poldark.

 

[Rooster1]

He's playing in Aladdin in Richmond right now if you are a fan or perhaps you just wan't to throw some flowers at him.

It's the standard rant from an 'entitled driver'.
My sister-in-law has been done for speeding four times and had two crashes, the latest last week. It's obvious from her account that the whole lot is her fault, but she always plays the victim.

Sounds like Clarkson is just confirming that a bike should be treated the same as a car in terms of size. Sounds good to me. If it is not safe to overtake a car sized object, then don't overtake.

I once heard Biggins slagging off cyclists jumping red lights on telly , it was a while ago , some sort of chat show , I seem to remember him in a bad comedy show , maybe in the eighties ,
