Fun and friendly.

The first link from a "cyclechat" search leads to a discussion of said forum on MBR. The OT was someone scarred from a "helmet" discussion, but my favourite post was this

"I was briefly a Cyclechat member, but soon left. You can't have a reasonable discussion there. At best it gets ridiculous (if that's the case we should wear helmets in bed) and at worst it gets rude(you're a bell end for wearing a helmet). The tagline is that It's the "fun and friendly" cycle forum, but it ain't. They're the EDL of cycling forums."

I was we'll impressed with a 13 page thread on helmets, on another forum.

Anyone who expects a 'reasonable discussion' about helmets would be better sitting quietly and waiting for Santa.

Long wait, he's not due for another 175 days.

This is an absurd response, for the following reasons:

1. Santa comes only when we are asleep. No purpose is served waiting for him to arrive.

2. Santa fits all his deliveries into a brief spell of darkness during one night in late December. Why would we be waiting for him in July?

3. It is perfectly possible to have a reasonable discussion about helmets, as long as one excludes the anti-helmet zealots and the pro-helmet loons. I find that people in the middle of the debate have perfectly reasonable views which are perfectly aligned with my own thinking.

Now you can take your ridiculous comparisons with Santa Claus and stuff them up a chimney even he wouldn't want to slip into with a gift.

I think you know the chimney to which I refer. Fun and friendly.... Pah!

Carry on.

Santa's only going to Boris Bajic's house to get all the stuff back he left him last year.

Unfortunately he's eaten the Cadbury's Selection box, crashed the bike, lost all the bits of his Meccano set and kicked the football through a neighbour's window.

It wasn't Cadbury's it was fuggin' Quality Street and anyway I hate Meccano and the football was a cheap one from a petrol station with the 1970 World Cup squad on it and the neighbour deserved it because they said I shot at their cat with my bow and arrow and I didn't and there was an orange in my stocking and I hate oranges and the joke in my cracker wasn't even a joke and I hate everybody and stop looking at me like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously you didn't notice the Mindfulness and Meditation techniques cassette that was in the bottom of the stocking?

Pfffft. Helmet evangelists are a touchy bunch. Not to mention tedious.

A thread about a thread about us and a helmet thread on another forum?
Too self-referential for words!

 

[ianrauk]

And let's be honest here.
Helmet's are crap and look crap.
