It makes sense... no need to stop drinking when you "need to go."

Respect! A pint needs drinking, whatever the challenges thrown in its path!

I always like it when the reports showed flooded roads, about how everything has been brought to a halt....... and someone cycles through the flood!

It's Yorkshire, so they'll have paid for their pints and a packet of fags so they were ruddy-well going to drink and smoke them.

Makes me proud to see them!

I hope the river Aire doesn't have that little Amazonian worm that slithers up your eurethra.

Where is the poor whippet?

On the one hand one must admire their pluck.

On the other, I'm flood response trained for SAR and while flood water May look passive and benign, it's deadly. All sorts of underwater dangers, the nastiest being drains that turn into hidden traps with no way for a man to overcome the hydraulic pressure. On the course they show us a video of a body recovered from a drain that had been bent in half and forced about 20metres into the pipe with the pressure.

I hope he had new wheel bearings, cones, and bottom bracket ready to replace within a few weeks!
