The rascals, eh.

Ding-ding-dingley-ding!

"It's for charidee, mate; but we don't like to talk about it."

They're arseholes.

 

Yeah, great.

So somebody wants to give an easter egg to a child, they haven't made
a big thing about it but somebody else has (1) and they're the cunts?

They were idiots for the way they blocked the traffic but have they
come out with the 'charidee' bit? I haven't seen it if they did and I
don't think many of us can claim to be exactly the most considerate of
people when it comes to use of the queens Highway.

(1) How many times did he post his message? I'm not convinced that
Owen is the best judge of what's happening in the great big World that
surrounds him.

Nope.

I must be odd because I can see a difference between people seeing
something advertised in the local paper, going and buying an easter
egg, going to a designated meeting place and then riding to a hospital
and deciding to **** the traffic up as a form of protest but I appear
to be the only one.

They did it on a Sunday so it wouldn't have fucked up commuters going
into Oxford, it wasn't done over the bank holiday weekend when heavier
traffic could be expected and apart from not giving the kids the stuff
they couldn't have done any more.

 

No. You're not.

 

99% of all the traffic i meet on the roads is basically an obstacle to my
progress, whether it was intentional or not. that's a large part of why i
ride a bike, so i can filter and nip past it. if a whole road is blocked,
take it as an opportunity to hoover out some of the more cobwebbed
recesses of your cerebellum and work out another route. you're not going
to be able to do anything about it, so whingeing is just going to cause you
frustration.

 

Who's whinging? Not I. I'm quite happy to sit a while and wait for some
charitable event to temporarily inconvenience me. If it was some protesting
cunts, using me as a pawn in their argument with someone else. Then. Maybe.

 

i was speaking parabatically rather than dialectically.

 

Go fly your kites elsewhere.

 

Unless they have road closure permission under the appropriate Act plod
should have been kicking them into touch anyway.

Give me a break. They were Harleys, therefore not speeding, therefore
Plod couldn't care less.

 

There is a 'comedian' around these parts who the local press constantly
refer to as 'local comedy legend'.

The chap started a 'charidee' a few years back which specialises in giving
disadvantaged little cherubs holidays, and in his defence he's managed to
organise a few events with various B-list celebs attending, such as
celebrity golf tournaments, and an annual 'you won't know who's appearing
til the night' variety show at the local theatre.

Very noble really... but given he was a relative unknown when the charity
was launched, is it just the cynic in me that questions why the charity
concerned happens have his name as part of its name, as if his name would
add weight to their cause?

One questions who has had the most to gain out of that...

 

I'm with you, on this. And one of these days, the twonks who block the
traffic like that (hello, GWOC, hello, HOG), are going to find
themselves fielding a nasty crash and I can't help thinking that
they'll be in the dock because of it.

You want to stop traffic at junctions, red lights, or whatever -
become a copper.
