This incident was one of those mean little instances of antisocial behaviour that just make life a little more crap. It serves no other purpose. Would I have challenged it if it've been 11pm at night and it was a group of 15 year olds? If I'm honest with myself, probably not, but I'd have felt ashamed for not doing so.

I had an incident ths evening on the way home. Group of several youths on the pavement, one of them messing around on a bike. Others had bikes with them. Me in primary position on the Holloway Road going northbound. The boy messing around on the bike loses his balance and falls into the road (but stays on his feet). I move further out into the lane, swerving to avoid him and exclaim with the shock of it and him and his mates shout after me that I'm a "c**t"! Charming!
Needless to say I didn't stop and try and engage them in the error of their ways. I didn't think it would be productive I shouted back at him that he was a tw*t though. Does that make me as bad as him?

Depending on your age and demeanor, perhaps it would have been most effective to stop, go back and start fussing over him with a hanky you'd just spat on, wiping his face and knees and stuff and saying "aw, did Mummy's brave soldier fall off his bikey wikey?" Embarrass him to death.

There are some women who could carry this off, I don't think I'm one of them.... I think you'd have to look and sound like Prunella Scales or Patricia Routledge..

It must be the weather, on the way back to workshop this morning from the bank, nice gentle downhill bit, I'm doing 30 mph, old dear looks me squarely in the face and walks out in front of me, I swerved round her and her and gave her a blast of the Airzound, checked the mirror but she was still alive, maybe next time.

Now this one has got me baffled.

The delightful young ladies in this video seem to be upset that I, that I...., mmmmmm, eeerrr - exist?

You can see passers by looking over towards the end of the video. She really did have a potty mouth. Apologies for the sound quality - you'll have to take my word for it that the English Language was not a winner.

(The noise is resonance through the frame is from the BB, which appears to have rocks for bearings!)

Am I the only gentleman on this forum who is gallant enough to stick up for this bevy of beauties that have been so dreadfully wronged against?

From the very outset Bollo – you absolute cad you – you failed to show the young ladies what I believe is nowadays referred to as “nuff respect” – how dare you not stop, and may I say, even escort this charming young mother and her delightful offspring over to the other side of the road – your behaviour was simply appalling – fancy not knowing that the huge financial and cultural contribution these women have so selflessly made to the benefit of society entitles them to the highest respect possible from such lesser beings as ourselves.

Shame on you Bollo!

To defend these ladies honour I hereby challenge you to a pistol dual at dawn on the common.

Twickers - you're right. You've cut through to the issue like Skepta's 'Rolex Sweep' played through a mobile phone in a busy train carriage. Sir, I salute you.

This afternoon, I will wait outside Basingstoke Station for the young ladies and, if I'm lucky enough to see them again, offer my apologies. As further proof of my sincerity, I will offer to dine them, free of charge, at one of b'stokes finest eateries. I hear 'McDonalds' restaurants or somesuch provide fine victualling at reasonable rates. I shall ring and book a table.

If you still wish to meet me on the common, might I suggest late evening, as we may not wish to alarm any passers-by as we grope for our weapons.

Let me know where and when you arrange this and I will be sure to film it on my helmet camera...

Ask her for two's up with her mum.

 

[Bollo]

Ask her for two's up with her mum.

Haven't quite got the hang of saucy innuendo yet have we.

Magnatom's 'helmet cam' has taken on a new and frankly unpleasant meaning. Perhaps that's why so many people shout at him.

Unfortunately, I think they would be more likely to laugh at me....

<pedant mode>

pistol dual what? Dual barrelled perhaps? Or do you mean duel?

I'm only pointing this out because I'm sure the young lady in the video would appreciate such niceties of the English language....

What you should of said was:
"nah, duty Skat, you best watch innit, BRRAAAP BRRRAAP"
That would have offended her and made her notice you.

I've made a note of that and will memorise it. One day I may find out what it means as well...

 

[Joe24]

Arch can you please video you saying it so we can have it on loudspealer on the bikes. That will really make them run.

 

[Joe24]

Oh, and if anyone can work it all out then i will be impressed.

Should I be saying it in attempted street style accent, or best RP Queens English style?
