I thought this was going to be an entertaining thread.. until the 'god-like' started with his moralising....

Remember it was Confucius who said "There is little so satisfying as seeing a friend fall off of a roof"

he also said " man who walks with hand in pocket feels cocky"

I do think that we should contact Collins or Websters dictionary clinics to have "cockwomble" assessed for viability for entry (lol) into their publications.
Perhaps we should consider other words that are "bicyclist" for entry (ooer).
Where is fnaaar?

Nice post though

If it was average Joe public I wouldnt laugh...but as it was a cockwomble (great word), I would probably have pissed myself laughing if I had seen it in the flesh.

Its a shame such cockwombling / face nutting isnt more prevalent in today's society of cockends.

Whilst finding the OP very funny, I did have some small amount of sympathy with lee's point of view..... I'll accept that not everyone found it funny, maybe just their sense of humour, deeply developed social conscience or whatever, but to continue to repeat the same opinion whilst complaining that the OP hasnt got a "response" smacks more of cockendery than cockwomblery. People have different points of view, especially over what constitutes humour - get over it.

he also said " man who walks with hand in pocket feels cocky"

He also said that 'man who go through airport check in side ways is going to Bangkok'.

Nice to see that of what was largely a well written and humorous post, most people focussed on cockwomble....

(I'd not heard of it before and found it funny too)

Exactly Pete, I've never refuted that the guy is an idiot. But laughing at said idiot when they hit the road like that simply - is - not -funny - imo of course.

Yes Lee - I think we all understand your opinion. Now, please read the rest of my post.

[QUOTE 1631654, member: 3143"]I did, this was an my dry attempt at humour. Re-interating my point whilt not taking myself to seriously as to what you refered to me as. These pain killers are obviously working.[/quote]

This is turning into one of those slightly awkward episodes of a Ricky Gervais series: almost too uncomfortable to watch, but worth it for the comedy value.

Did you just say you're not taking yourself too seriously? Doesn't feeling the need to say it suggest that you do?

I have to change channels or hide behind a cushion.... Gervais has gone too far with this script.

[QUOTE 1632311, member: 3143"]Or maybe I was saying it for another reason - I'll leave you to figure it out, as you have obviously figured me and this whole thread out (gentle clue there).[/quote]

Wow... I've figured nothing out. With each post I became more and more bamboozled by this whole thread.

Thanks for crediting me with figuring anything out, but I haven't. I'm going back to hiding behind my cushion.

Small point of order, Lee. The cockwomble didn't "come off thier (sic) bike and hit the road", he attempted to jump onto the footpath and faceplanted at the feet of some startled pedestrians.
Served him right.

not exactly what I was looking for but close enough. I enjoyed the post by the way

I don't think anybody really likes to see someone hurt. but there is a sense that people who do bad things deserve to have bad things happen. I know the man wasn't public enemy number one but I don't have a problem with fate stepping in and trying to teach someone the error of their ways. It doesn't sound like the man was seriously hurt and I think all of us including the op are glad of that but I do get the sense of justice people feel when anti social people get their come uppance

 

[GrumpyGregry]

For those who care;
He was helped up by a passing cyclist on a folding bike, whose assistance he aggressively shrugged off, had a little tantrum when he saw the scratch on his top tube, swearing fulsomely all the while, angrily wrenched his bars straight, remounted his bike on the pavement and rode off furiously, still on the pavement, down the side street, scattering pedestrians waiting for the crossing before him and crashing off the kerb into the path of an oncoming car which, regrettably imo, missed him.

Cockwomble is as cockwomble does.

Said good Samaritan then coped the flack, along the lines of 'effing ruddy cyclists; you are all a bloody menace' from the rightfully offended pedestrians before going on his own way lawfully.

 

[Poacher]

Well said, Greg.

At the risk of being considered pedantic, may I suggest Lee checks the definition of pedent.

I may take legal advice!

 

[ComedyPilot]

Hmmm?

So, if a car mounted the pavement and scattered peds before driving off, and a following car stops to see if the peds are alright, would that car driver get a mouthful?

Therefore 'real' cyclists are taking a lot of flack out there because of POB's and there seems to be nowt we can do about it.
