Official Close Pass Licencing response

[Origamist]

I imagine if Col saw footage of me cycling pretty much my entire commute in primary he'd spew up his spleen and his prose would suffer a complete syntactical breakdown... But seriously, if Magnatom truly is a menace, I must be a cycling psychopath! Everyday I wantonly brutalise drivers, endanger their families and torment their pets as I cycle on the same roads as them. Only last week a bus driver shouted "murderer" at me as I ran over a semi-frozen worm whilst trying to avoid (but still intimidate) a car that pulled a sudden U-turn in front of me. Do you know how difficult it was to choreograph that incident?

Cunobelin's point about holding the film in reserve is astute. The licensing authority would find it harder to defend a driver who was later shown to be disingenuous and deceitful when the footage was produced. Poor driving might not interest them much, but dishonesty probably would.

It seems that you ask me a question then call me a troll on answer?

Be a man not a child and admit you are a menace sometimes

I've been at the port again col!

To incidents col will object,
"Maggers, he shows no respect.
I tell him he's mad,
His cycling is bad,
But my syntax is often suspect."

Is that a joke or is col's cycling bad?

If so why?

Col, I hate to say it, but you are being pretty infuriating on this one. Mags may or may not have been cycling too far out into the road, but that's irrelevant. What is important is that the taxi driver barged past him leaving insufficient room, which was bad. And then gave him a load of abuse, which was worse. besides all this, Mag was there and you weren't, which means that his comments about where he needed to be on the road carry more weight than yours. You need to concede this one, in my opinion.

Your right,i will, but it doesnt change my belief.

I don't think I like very much when the car sort of stops in front of you moment.You don't know who the hell is going to get out and also what he is carrying.

You need to look at the quotation marks for it to make sense.

col's posts really make my brain hurt and as someone who's had meningitis, I know what a sore brain feels like! But I can't help but read them. It's like smelling your own farts - it's wrong, but you do it anyway. So as a coping mechanism, I have started to reply to col's posts in verse.

That's a gem, Bollo. Nicely sums up how many people on here must feel.. I think my sig line has just been found.

Fair enough,but I will always believe that some incidents didnt need to unfold in the way they did,due to choreography.

Col, it's not a dance we do on our bikes... it's just a method of travel. Do you really think Mags has a professional telling him how to orchestrate close passes just so he can post them on the internet??

How does that sum it up?, a case of assumption again ?

No, he probably does it himself .
