Does cycling attract a disproportionate number of grumpy so and so's?

@nickyboy is it ok for me to get grumpy at people who can't quote correctly?

 

[Racing roadkill]

Yes. It's gone that way for a fair few years now. It started getting noticeably that way after the 2008 Olympics. Cycling used to be the preserve of a unique band of nutters, it's all about Strava, and POWWWWWWWERRR, and Sportives now. I blame Santa, and the soup dragon, and Maggie Thatcher.

I think we get grumpy because Xmas is always the same old same old.

Thankfully mine will be very different this year as i'm having friends over so it will be full of good cheer for once.

My best Xmas was 2012 when i cycled round Rajasthan with a group of friends. Truly excellent.

But what does Crexit mean?

Crexit means Crexit, but more than this it will be the best possible Crexit.

Knock yourself out. I suspect @pawl had worked himself up into an apoplectic grump and couldn't work his keyboard properly as a result

You do all realise that this thread was supposed to be for all the cool, happy, looking forward to Christmas types on CC to make fun of the Grumps

We seem to have been invaded by them here

What age can you typically see the onset of grumpness?

Varies.

When you are a young, everything is new so change is great. In fact, you don't even notice change, as everything else is new, too.

At some point you hit your stride, and the world (or at least a tiny bit of it) is your oyster. You know how things work, you like things the way they are.

Then things change again. New technology sweeps in. Suddenly younger people actually do know better than you (instead of just thinking they do). You can't keep up, and anyway you liked the way things were, the right way, before people started using new-fangled words like "undertake" instead of "overtake on the left" as god intended.

So you log onto CC and start complaining about SWMBO.

(As with most things, Shakespeare said it better)

Bugger off! We don't want tossers like you contaminating God's Own Country!

When I go, it raises the average IQ a bit!
Both there, and here...

But you don't say what colour it will be.

Red, white and blue, of course. Any fule nose that

Wait! surely we should have a referendum on what colour it should be?

But what does Crexit mean?

It means restoring true. "British values" and getting rid of them foreign customs


Which could be difficult in that almost every custom is imported!

But what does Crexit mean?

Lidl sports gear?

Or is that Crevit?
