'Well if you don't know, and I don't know, and I don't know and you don't know, do you know?'

 

[Mr Phoebus]

Aye, it is getting stranger and stranger. Have I entered the x-files....

Yep!!!!

'Well if you don't know, and I don't know, and I don't know and you don't know, do you know?'

Red, yellow, green or blue, which is right it's up to you

 

[John the Monkey]

Yep!!!!

There you go, clear case of provocation.

It'd be great if people could stop feeding/quoting the troll...

Excuse my ignorance. , what is a troll? (I assume other than a mythical vertically challenged person)

Col, give it up it's obvious that the mentality of the cabbie is questionable, two fingers, w@nker wave, whatever. This is no excuse to drive into a cyclist.

Iv never said it was lee.

Then what exactly is your point?

I asked if he had gesticulated,as it could have been a contributing factor in the outcome,?

 

[standard-issue]

This has been a most enthusing thread to read.

Never before have i seen somebody argue so profusely, to the point where it seems they lost sight of their own arguement.

col, in this case it appears your a "troll" and a "hijacker", you maybe have a point, if you weren't so far off subject.

As suggested way earlier in the thread, if you wanted this arguement and your point to be accepted you should have started your own thread.

Good point,i probably get carried away with the remarks from others who seem unable or willing to see that this can make things worse,but i suppose iv brought the idea to some peoples attention,and is food for thought.Iv not realised how focused i was on this point,until now,and your post,which seems without sarcasm or malice has shown that to me,cheers standard issue

Col, let's apply your argument to the recent trial where the guy was found guilty of murdering the boxer in London. Your view is that the boxer provoked the shooting by asking the murderer and his mates not to smoke?

No matter who said what to whom, mounting a pavement with your car with the intent of running someone down is akin to ATTEMPTED MURDER. What about the safety of all the other pedestrians.

Of course not

Yes...o.k col I understand what you are saying and if he would have gesticulated then maybe this would have a contributing factor to the outcome.

However this is clearly no excuse to drive a taxi at someone, look at the post by the other cabbie and see what they say.

As i agree too
