Cyclists who say "hello" on a commute

[Geoff Crowther]

Well, given he's a bona fide northerner....

Oh no! If 'e comes up 'ere I'm movin' ... to Welling.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I pass Martin every now and again on the Rochester Way. He's getting the one-finger salute if I see him this week.

 

[downfader]

Trust me, he looks excessively tall both on and off a bike. There are other features but I don't wish to be hurtful.

Like this?

The other one was a bloke who started talking to me as I cycled around Parliament Square and started giving me the happy bunny 'aren't we a great golly good cycling community all happy-wappy on the road to green consciousness and the road to smug cycling Heaven'.

He got the blank.[/QUOTE]

So he had a lucky escape then?

 

[Wobblers]

But, pray, how would I know? Unless he stops ... to get off his bicyclette ... to strike me, for having ... smiled.
Please ... help.

You'll recognise him. He's so tall that the Civil Aviation Authority make him wear one of those flashing red beacons. And has a perpetually miserable expression. Can't miss him, really....

 

[martint235]

Please may I have a full and proper description of your sad, miserable self so, if and when I ever get near Welling ... I can be sure and ignore you?
And be quick man ... I may sneak down there and, heaven forbid, smile ... and be nice ... in a northern sort of way.
And that would never do ... would it?
Oh, and
Peace and love, man.

Hey I am a northerner. And the High Peak isn't North, it's the midlands.

It's more fuppin north than Welling.
Anyway ... don't start on me.
I only waved ... an' smiled ... an' sent you a kiss.
AND I'm from Leeds.

You're not helping yourself. First you refer to the High Peak as North and then state you're from the county where men are men and sheep are incredibly nervous.

I'm coming up in a couple of weeks. I'll wave.

Cyclists who acknowledge other cyclists on the commute are the scum of the earth.

I only wave at scum

I told a cyclist to eff off this morning.

Riding on the pavement (road was virtually devoid of traffic) en-route to station whilst jabbering on his mobile and looking down at his bb to determine why his bike was making such an awful noise.

Ohgahhhhpftthhh grrrrrrr Much of Derbyshire is more north than Sheffield, some of it is more north than Manchester or Liverpool..

Never say I'm not a northerner. Never

Sorry but you're not a northerner. What have Liverpool and Manchester got to do with the price of fish. The middle of Derbyshire is about 200 miles from the south coast and about 200 miles from the Scottish border. By definition, the Midlands. You're a Midlander.

 

[martint235]

Yeah but the country is fatter at the bottom than at the top. This needs to be adjusted for.

Why? The "middle land" is halfway between the top and the bottom of a land. Doesn't matter how wide it is

 

[martint235]

If you can post an unreasonable load of old tosh, why can't I?

Carry on. @McWobble will be awake soon and I'm sure he'll come up with some more

my next village is aptly named ''Bog End''
