the horror, the horror

[Ian Cooper]

I thought there was a photo of Healey on a bike floating around somewhere. There ought to be one of Norman Tebbitt, given his "Get on your bike" speech.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

but why oh why is the lieutenant carrying a helmet on the bars of his bike in the OP?

This one is as inconsistent in his helmet use as me!

Blimey - you're a dead ringer for David Cameron.

Slightly OT, but when the title of this thread comes up in the script of Appocalypse Now, it sounds to me like "The whore... The whore..."

My apologies for the digression. You were saying?

I am still looking for Marlon in this thread. No sign...

Well they both waffle on endlessly....

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Is that the double-drip procession they were talking about on the news today?

 

[Boris Bajic]

Well they both waffle on endlessly....

I refuse to react to that.

I'm certanly not going to post a response.

It's a childish observation and I'd look even more childish if I were to respond.

So no response from me.

Certainly not one that takes several more words than are necessary to get its point across.

If there's one thing you can't accuse me of, it's waffling on endlessly.

There.

That told them.

I don't think George Osborne is going to suffer from vitamin D deficiency any time soon.

...anyway, it ended with me calling him a cockwombling anal retard who tucked his shirt into his pants as we parted ways at Wimbledon Town centre. Not proud of it [/quote]

Why ever not?

[QUOTE 1822692, member: 1314"]On the other hand, Claud, your right. No need to feel bad - he deserved it. Cheers for the affirmation! Made me feel better.[/quote]
That looks, sounds and smells like a U-turn if ever there was! Have you considered a career in politics?

[QUOTE 1822803, member: 1314"]I reckon I was right. Anyway, why does Boris look good on a bike? (Because he does.) He just looks so....natural.[/quote]
He looks good on a bike it's true, damn it. He'd look better in tweeds and some string backed gloves behind the wheel of, say, a big Healey with the hood down but the traffic in central is terrible and the car would just boil over.

Simply put he's a cad.

He looks good almost anywhere.

no he doesn't. He looks like a sack of spuds. There's as much of his foot hanging over the front of the pedal than there is projecting over the back. He hunches over the handlebars and sways from side to side groaning like a sow on heat. And his elbows point out. If you doubt me schlepp up to Colebrooke Row and watch him go up the teeny little incline to the tube station in the morning. Prior to watching the hapless lump in action it didn't occur to me that I could despise him any more than I did already - but, happily, I was proved wrong.

 

[slowmotion]

Oi! We can't all look like Greg Lemond.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

no he doesn't. He looks like a sack of spuds. There's as much of his foot hanging over the front of the pedal than there is projecting over the back. He hunches over the handlebars and sways from side to side groaning like a sow on heat. And his elbows point out.

I'm failing to see the problem.... he's an archetypal slow bicycle type. London's full of 'em. He's on a bike not in a car therefore he looks great on a bike.

I think you're prejudiced

 

[GrumpyGregry]

It's a stylist thing.

I have none. Style that is. So I'm no judge.
