[QUOTE 1633935, member: 3143"]What? No, no, no, no. How am I a pedant? The OP offers up an account of a fellow cyclist coming off their bike, near enough everyone chooses to laugh at this as the rider obviously ''got what they deserved.'' I simply said IMO that this was out of order, there was no bothering about being right and winding your neck in.

And I can live with the fact that people will not always agree, and for the sake of this and for wigglydiggy's little world I AM supposed to agree with everything? I don't think so somehow, and will continue to have an opinion provided it is backed up. And if you or anyone else don't like this, then tough.[/quote]

Lee it was your constant badgering of GC for an 'answer', and just not letting it go on the first few pages and constantly going on about it that lead me to think that you are christ our lord himself come back to point out our sins^_^

So can I, and seeing as I already agreed with you that you are morally right (just being a pedant about it) then I don't get the point of the 2nd half of your post.:wacko: Not sure why agreeing with you that you can have a different opinion to me is tough but there you go:thumbsup:

But fair play to you for not critisicing me for thinking the hipster deserved every inch of the pavement he so lovingly kissed:laugh:

Fell off my bike today, laughed like a drain, as did those who saw me do it, and got a very wet leg. Moral; don't go off-road on a road bike with slicks and a coaster brake.

Would it be very wrong to add a rather silly and selfish Womble, named after an Asian city, to Elizabeth Beresford's finest as I read to my children, thereby enabling me to yell "Bangkok Womble" every time I see some idiot out on the road?....just asking....:blush:

No! How can you? You take my most beloved childhood story and you stamp on it and laugh as it shatters like a frosted cobweb on a moonless winter night.

Bulgaria, Orinoco, Wellington, Tomsk... These names are legend and shall remain so. How many other stories have characters who had cities or rivers named after them?

Stalin. OK, maybe so, but he was fictional. Tito? Likewise.

I will not stand for this mocking of a classic. Pasternak... Pah! All he had named after him was a vegetable!

Beresford is far, far above all these other so-called heroes of literature. Conan-Doyle clearly based his tawdry and cliched Baskerville tale on Beresford's Purple Paw Mystery.

Please, no more talk of a Bankok connection for the Wombles.

This was me (genuinely) falling off the bike yesterday while going to the cinema. Please feel free to laugh at my expense. I wasn't hurt and the bike is fine.

Very good, you should have taken what appeared to be the steps on the left :whistle:
