Dear Tragic Hipster (Pt II)

[Poacher]

He was probably helpless with laughter. Thanks for the apology, Lee; I'm not sure I understand the definition, so the threat of legal action was only a bluff. Can anyone explain "third-person plural present active subjunctive"?

Should any of the people here know the answer to that, then I am sure they will help you.

For anyone who's bothered, a hipster on a fixie turns up as a teacher in the CoE school in last weeks episode of 'Rev' on BBC2. Pretty funny episode, won't say what happens to him, sure it's on iPlayer.

Can anyone explain "third-person plural present active subjunctive"?

Third person plural: "They" form
Present tense: actions which happen now
Active: "Things you do" rather than "Things that are done to you" (which would be passive)
Subjunctive: Things which are uncertain or indefinite

So pedent means "let them hang" - which seems to be Lee's attitude to everyone else.

deliberate windup, he knows full well you were the guy on the folder and I'm surprised you played along enough to bother giving him that explanation...you is older and wiser than that Geg me old buddy

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.

CP If we follow your analogy the following driver would not have been giving a thought to the peds s/he would have been interested only in the welfare of the other driver; tbh the peds would then have a point no?

Also if a driver mounts the pavement it would be a highly unusual, exceptional and unacceptable event. Sadly cyclists doing it, and Mr Hipster was no bloke on a bike in my estimation, is a normal, regular and unremarkable event in London.

These threads are symptomatic of this place.

The OP provides an amusing thread based on observation. A small minority disagree but the minority view becomes the majority (by way of air time).

Crap

I apologise for having had you on ignore for so long Lee, I didn't even realise you weren't still banned. I'm glad the forum change reset everything. Thank you for giving me such a laugh this morning.

Lee was never banned....please get your facts right

 

[Jezston]

Whatever the correct technical term is, then.

Jezston, What ever spin you want to put on it Lee wasn't banned from Cycle Chat.. ok

 

[Jezston]

Apologies, misinterpreted something I'd been told combined with his disappearance and concluded he'd been banned.

I'd have said this thread is a perfect example of someone (lee) being a massive pedant and despite admittedly holding the moral high ground on this he won't shut up banging on about it. Personally this is what does spoil this place from time-time,people seem too bothered about being right and not bothering to wind their neck in and just live with the fact not everyone will always agree.

Frankly I laughed like a drain when I read the OP, even more so when I learnt the hipster loves the pavement so much he not only cycles on it but likes to kiss it as well Keep up the good work Greg
