Signs of Madness

[monnet]

I've been known to make that sort of 'neeeeoooowww!' 'car going round a corner' sound rather to often. I got caught doing it on a chaingang once. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one to have been heard doing it though.

I think it'd be pretty funny to get the whole chaingang doing it round corners one week - 20 riders taking corners at 25mph all going 'neeeeeoooow!'

I have been know to greet cows/sheep as if I'm tired and haven't seen another living soul for a while.

 

[DTD]

I do sing – and then get very embarrassed if anyone hears.
Once (whilst walking) and thinking I was alone, I sang "I'm Mr Bombastic" only to notice there was someone over the road looking at me. I said "That's not my real name obviously".

 

[Svendo]

I sometimes sing "ahhhhhhhhh" when going down hill on cobbles, causing my voice to wobble amusingly

 

[Watt-O]

Singing crap songs, talking to pigeons, making up jibberish aloud - all pretty standard fayre. Fortunately, drowned out by the Sarf London traffic.

 

[XmisterIS]

I tend to twitch and jerk around and shout random obscenities at people who aren't there. Sometimes I get off the bike, wrestle them to the ground and have a good scuffle.

I've never done that

Hmmm. You're not alone. I do the same. Only a week or so ago I said 'hello old pal' to a horse stood watching me as I plodded past his paddock. Turns out there was a roadie right behind me who must have thought I was bonkers as he whizzed past in a blur of lycra. I suspect they don't do conversing with animals much!

I also do a great 'Wilmaaaaaaa!' (off of The Flintstones) going under echoey bridges - sounds great.

I find myself baaing to the sheep and mooing to the cows. Sometimes I get a reply. As soon as I relise what I'm doing I have to have a good look around to check there is nobody about.

 

[Cubist]

I have been know to______ cows/sheep if I haven't seen another living soul for a while.

Sounds like a "Fill in the blanks" invitation style thread title.....

 

[longers]

The invention of air conditioning for cars and the need for the windows to be up have probably saved quite a few drivers from random snatches of out of tune nonsense.

Bit surprised no-one has mentioned Suggs opening the front gate.

 

[smokeysmoo]

Oh, and found myself "rapping" along with Public Enemy when jogging today with headphones on. Glad it was in a quiet wood with no-one around.

Not me personally, but I was walking my dog through the woods today, and there was a nutter jogging along rapping out loud, I certainly didn't expect to see that

 

[Cyclox]

I sing....not very well I must admit but I don't care + I don't stop when I pass walkers or other cyclists. I guess I do this mostly on long rides when I'm alone........defo a sign of madness Dora?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I talk to myself when riding home in the dark at 3 or 4 in the morning. I appreciate the company ...

I used to be Schizophrenic, but we are all ok now.

at least it's not as bad as when my kids were younger, when I'd find myself whistling Postman Pat as I walked along the street....

My Mum was a Primary School Teacher for years, so you will hear her subconsciously humming or singing kid's songs all the time.

Heard her singing 'The Golden Cockerel' the other day there.

I haven't heard that in YEARS!

I have been know to greet cows/sheep as if I'm tired and haven't seen another living soul for a while.

I'll say hello to animals as I pass too. I may even be heard saying

'MOOOO!'

to herd of cows as I clatter on past.

I sometimes sing "ahhhhhhhhh" when going down hill on cobbles, causing my voice to wobble amusingly

I've never done that

....Much.

I also do a great 'Wilmaaaaaaa!' (off of The Flintstones) going under echoey bridges - sounds great.

When cycling though old tunnels and echoey bridges, I make steam engine noises, CHCHCHCH CHCHCHCH CHCHCHCH CHCHCHCH CHCHCHCH CHCHCHCH WOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! CHCHCHCH!!

It ties in perfectly with my breathing you see!


I imagine I am a Black 5, Jubilee or Duchess* , but I used to do a great 'A4 Chime' when I was young, complete with the split sound. I haven't tried the 'chime' recently. I can't imagine why.



* - Or if I am diesel then I am a Western, and an electric a class 87

Glad it's not just me that sings, says hello to animals etc.
