I'll tell thee what

It was piggin' freezing to day in that icy wind, My buddies and I did a 37 mile bike ride and . I was glad to get home, the weather drove home the fact that, Winter still has a grip on us,,,

That's a long ride, Tom, and you're right. It was very cold today with that wind biting through to the bones. Aye, winter is still with us, despite some lovely sunny days.

Trouble with bright sunny days though is the danger of the sun blinding you when you're driving. Wednesday and Thursday I could barely see a thing driving home as I was driving straight into the sun's path and, being very light sensitive as well now, it was scary.

I know, I know, but we are British and we enjoy having a good moan about the weather, no matter what it brings us!

you are right about the Low sun Mollie, its scary for us cyclists for reasons you described, we are vulnerable so need to be very aware of folks having
' blind spot' issues but, the fun and excitement of being free is unmeasurable , another exiting incident today was being attacked by a Swan, you would not believe the noise and intimidation a Swan can make if you get too close ,

Ooh, and they are big birdies as well and could do a lot of damage if one got hold of you. You must have scared it, maybe by being too close or invading its space.

"could so a lot of damage if one got hold of you."

It could break your arm?

We were just riding past Mollie on a path alongside of the canal doing nowt wrong but, It was't happy and further down was a notice, it read,
Beware of the Blackbrook swan, keep you dog on a lead and do not approach it, So it was't just us,,

Post edited, Tonker, ta!

Aye, it could indeed, if it was only his arm it grabbed!

Many years ago went on a holiday on the canals and a swan started to attack the boat Tried to do some jobs in the garden yesterday and ended up with a jacket on and thick gloves .It was not that cold except when you were in the wind and then it just bit into your body.Only did about 30 mins then came inside. There is always another day

Some of geese on none to friendly either. Lol.

He keeps saying that I am a taxi driver

Well we all know you was a taxi driver SLAP along with the late great fireplace, So please inform us, are you now a self unemployed dole waller or have you a new career, ?

and an hour later,



ready for next time out

Tom

As regards my earlier posting, which was "He keeps saying that I am a taxi driver"

I posted that on the wrong topic, your topic, and it was aimed at Basil, because he keeps accusing me of being a taxi driver, but I am not a taxi driver

Tek no notice of him APLS. I know who you're talking about, even though he is on Ignore. He's like a scratched record on permanent repeat. It's a shame really that he has nothing better to contribute than wind people up. It's probably what keeps him occupied during the day. How old will he be now? About 9 or 10?

But SLAP, we need to know what your new career change is so that i can correct my videos,
SLAP's job

The other day I was fitting a string of solar powered lights onto the pergola and ended up with wearing a thick pair of gloves because the wind was just numbing my hands and i was loosing my grip

Tom, Good to see you have a horn on the bike. How many times have I been walking along the canal bank. When out of the blue, some cyclist has whizzed past me. I dread to think what would have happened if I had just veered off course as he was passing me.. What is wrong with people these days?? When I had a bike I had a bell and lights, I think it was compulsory to have them? These days it appears it's compulsory for "some " bike riders to wear all black clothing and no lights. Especially at night Do these people have a DEATH WISH? If I were out on a bike at night (I don't like driving my car at night these days) But that's another grouse of mine.. I would ensure I looked like the guy at Blackpool Illuminations who has a suit full of lights.

Mollie how can you call anyone, you won't even answer a question, you start skrykin saying its harassment

Too Whoooo ever it may concern ......

I am not a taxi driver

why have you removed your comment?

The previous comment posted twice

i believe you, stoo

Thank yoo Basil, that is very kind of yoo, and if yoo look, yoo can see that both posts, posted at 13.41

Tom, it’s really none of anybody’s business what APLS does for a living, is it? We don’t “need” to know anything about anyone. If he doesn’t want to say, then that’s his prerogative as it’s personal. I thought he was, or had been a taxi driver at some point, but perhaps he isn’t any longer. It’s the same as when daft as a Brush was asking me a personal question about my private life and, when I did reply, it still didn't dawn on him that he was being intrusive. He probably still is, but I’ll never know now.

Judging by APLS’ latest comments earlier today, he’s still being badgered by daft as a Brush. He pesters AngelWood by accusing her of being Vixen, despite being a member here with at least five different names that I know of; has a go at you Tom for some of your videos; me; APLS; and whoever he homes in on. Ask him a personal/private question and I guarantee he’ll clam up.

We have to feel sorry for him in a way because he’s obviously got a condition known as Obsessive Fascination, perhaps undiagnosed. It’s quite an interesting subject. They need to be fed information as if they’re entitled to it because of their obsessive behaviour and, whoever doesn’t “bite”, they get frustrated with them. Keep replying, and he’ll keep pestering for answers. It's sad really. Get the picture now?

Hope you'll have it ready soon, Peter. You've worked hard at it. Any idea how to put a picture on here yet?

Yes Admin, I think they are on a death wish. I've lost count of how many I've almost mowed down through lack of illumination; and it's not just cyclists, it's pedestrians as well. So foolish.

Mollie, I'm just curious is all about Slap, I'm one of his fans and he's mentioned about van life so I'm wondering if he's a courier , anyroad on the subject of cyclists in dark clothing and no leets at neet,
They don't want to be seen cos, they're up to no good, just like that
imbaseele does on here,,

And with a smile, I'll take you to the seven seas of Pie!

i was asking you to confirm something that you had said before, but instead you started skrykin and said it was harassment.

i'm sure someone would send me a link to confirm what you said

Basil

Yoo won't be told will yoo

about what, asking a question?
