Bullsh*tters

[gbb]

This came up in a convo with my 16yo grandaughter who remarked there was one such bullsh1tter at army cadets. I said there's always one in life...i discussed such people with her and explained, the worst of it is, they dont realise everyone is laughing at them. We had one spectacular example at work 30 years ago, we called him IBM...the Incredible Bullshitting Man. He didnt even realise in his tiny world what ee meant.
You have to feel sorry for them really, they just cant help it.

Brooks saddles - silly to try to gild a lily, but I apply a secret lotion made by the local voodoo man, very sparingly mind.

I think you'll find that you need to apply it only at night at the Vernal equinox otherwise it simply doesn't work

Bullshitters always trip themselves up!

Red bikes are faster, everyone knows that.

Chain lube - only the best for me, made with the oil from boiled lark's tongues.

Faster still if you put a gold chain on it.

No, you wear the gold chain... with your Sky kit top unzipped to the navel.

Wow, never though of that - how about you and the bike with matching gold chains?

I'll start with people who reckon that 2.5mm shorter cranks will make your bike faster.

It depends on your height. I use 170 because I’m a short arse & that’s what every bike fitter will tell me I need.

and clearly you do not shave your chest hair
but possibly 'some people' may dye it a darker colour - especially older people

Did he have a mate called DOS? Drones out shoot.

I trained at a heart rate of 124 bpm. It started at 12 mph, and 6 months later I was averaging 17 mph at same heart rate.

You didn't do it right as my HR dropped below 124 at 17mph. I couldn't get it back up to 124 until I was averaging 25 mph.

When I say average of 17 mph that includes the two hour pub stops for a few ales and food.

yep... one guy I've known for many many years is still at it i his mid-fifties. What's the point? Every one knows he's full of sh!t. He must know he's full of sh!t. Maybe it's some sort of psychiatric disorder... the sudden urge to say something impressive/knowledgeable, but no concept of how it's received.

Shorter crank lengths on recumbents are most welcome.

I use 140mm on my trike and LWB. No mashing, just spinning

Most people are pretty honest. When they come across a complete bullshitter, they are reluctant to dismiss everything he/she says as complete lies. The idea that people can spout utter poo all the time is alien to them. That's exactly what the bullshitter relies on to keep people faintly believing him/her.
