@Dave_Moulton: Cheers Dave

Is it worth the waiting for?
If we live ’til eighty four
All we ever get is abu…se!
Ev’ry day we say stop and pray –
Will they change the right of way?
Still we get the same old abu…se!
There is not a cuss, nor a cunt we cant find,
Be it bus, be it car, or ped,
But there’s nothing to stop us from getting a thrill
When we punch the fucker in the head…

The Highway code covers this scenario Rule 211

I think you’re enjoying this a little too much…

Hell, it’s like being on the X Factor but without all the talent.

If I were a rich man
I would buy a fucking good and light expensive little bike
Then I’d ride it all along the roads
Dodging all those big potholes.

I wouldn’t have to work hard
Because then there would be no point in buying an expensive bike.
Punching smug and twatty little cars
Every time I cycled past.

Joby on potholes,
Fingering to pillocks,
Right proper knob ends,
And riding down hillocks,
Roundabout tailbacks,
Little squashed kittens
Left at the kerbside,
By the drivers of Britain,
FIATS with learner plates
Tied on with string…
These are a few of my favourite things…

Tra la la…

Clive – because he looked at my camera clip on my helmet and saw it was empty (it was raining!)

Red – yup, back to normal indeed Potholes are a major issue over here too – there’s one on hyde road thats a foot wide, a foot long and about 4 inches deep – I can’t bunnyhop over that one

Phill – your right, I was ultra aware, which is why I got mad at the bus driver! Really wish I had had my camera on… Needed to prove a point to the smug little prick.

There’s nothing quite like the hyper-awareness of the 20 minutes after nearly killing yourself, is there? Be careful mate, I’d need to find something else to read if you went under a van (and of course I am slightly being serious, be careful out there, the crap weather makes crap drivers out of lots of people).
