Never in a posting session of so many learned gents ,have so many occupational insults been thrown by so many, without any mod involvement -

things like -
Superhero:(by dcb)
Beardy-weirdy:( by PeterE , in red - was he embarrassed :wink: 0)
Not-fit-to-wear-the-uniform-( by Robinxe) .

Perhaps we should have a poll on the best insult thrown . :wink: :roll: :D

Just making an unbiased opinion of what our friend from the depths( :sublurking: ) ( and no- I'm NOT TALKING NESSIE)might choose to use to take some more P** of the fights/disagreements within .

More severe topic drift ,I'm afraid , but I'm only pointing out potential problems .

How about a competition, for who can best get the thread BACK to "Cyclists vs. Horse Riders"?

Ahem... So, Robin, in your experience do the Taliban prefer horses or bicycles?

:coat:

Yeah, that way we'd have completed the cycle and ended up three abreast again :D

Actually, I'll get the ball rolling:

I suspect that a group of 15 horse-riders would have given you a lot more problems than the group of 15 cyclists.


But how often do you see a group of 15 horse-riders on any public road - let alone a busy one?

Actually, I encounter a hunt from time to time, complete with horses, hounds and hound-marshalling men in caps. Or occasionally in the morning, just the hounds and hound-cap-men.

Causes utter mayhem, but the hound-cap-guys are polite to the point of obsequiousness.
