Cycling home tonight in a little daydream. Some chavvy girls at the road side decided to jump out and shout at me.

I was so taken aback that my immediate comeback was................




Twit ! :smile::blush::smile:


Weak or what? It's amazing how you can think of all the really witty responses afterwards but by then it's too late

Having (mild :smile:) Tourettes syndrome (or maybe I'm just a typical male :smile:), a loud 'fukk off' is never far from my lips! :smile:

You're a shame to cyclists everywhere :smile:.

On the way back from work yesterday, there was a car that I thought was going to pull out, without indicating or checking their mirrors/blind spot. They were pulling forward, so I gave them a few warnings on the air zound until they stopped pulling out. Some pikey kids obviously realised it was me and took the mickey out of my horn "parp parp parp"...I did the grown up thing and just ignored them...

Practice in your head as you're cycling along on hypothetical situations. It's a useful addition to the "running commentary" method of avoiding problems, i.e.

...
That bloke in the car to my right might be getting angry that I'm in primary position in my lane despite the fact he's got a whole lane in which to overtake me. There's a road on the left coming up, if he wants to turn in there he may left hook me. If he winds down his window and rants at me I think I'll choose the "You must have such a tiny penis to be that angry!" line.
...
...
Women and child crossing walking along the road, they probably want to cross the road but since they can't hear a car coming they'll probably just launch out into the road without looking first, in which case I'll screech to a halt as close as I can and try:

"Do you know how to cross the road safely? You know; stop, look and listen? No, not you, I'm talking to your daughter. Good! OK, perhaps you can teach your mummy how to do it properly."
...
...

etc. I have used both, the first is one of my favourites. The second one left me sniggering all the way home as the little girl (probably 10 years old) was giggling at how annoyed her mum was.

Feel really bad-STILL-about a little old lady who tried to push me off the cycle path with her walking stick shouting "you should be on the road dear"(I had actually stopped to let her pass as its not a very wide path)And I replied "and you should be in a cemetary Dear"as i rode off (id had a bad day:angry:)
Thinking back it was not a very nice thing to say tho,she was about 90:blush:

Iv had some chavvy girls trying to scare my horse tho and i just turned him round and rode right up to them(hes a big lad)and said "sorry-didnt hear what you were shouting" As he was snorting and trying to do ballet....they soon shifted:biggrin:
