    Now I *know* that the residents of the fine city of Manchester aren't
    all thick-as-pigshit thieves. I really do.

    So I suggest you band together and hang this guy from a lamp post ASAP.

    I don't think you're in any position to comment.

    Remind me, how long ago did you last have a bike?

    Excellent, I can now properly insult my mate who's been living in
    Penmanmawr for the last 10 years. He's learnt Welsh since he's lived
    there.

    They're missing some sort of phonetic guide to it. Welsh is one of
    those languages which is funnier when spoke wrong.

    Have you got one where you spend most of your time these days, then... just
    wondered, like.

    No (because the driving here is lethal; if I move back to Qatar I'll
    get one). But *I'm* not the one belittling another for not /owning/ a
    bike. When that criticism comes from someone who owns a bike and
    seldom uses it, I think it's a little cheeky.

    I think the point is that someone belittling anothers riding when the
    one flinging the dirt doesn't even own a bike is pushing things a bit.

    Not really, trainers/coaches the world over in every discipline create
    contenders despite not actually having the same equipment/ability as their
    protege. Think of bear as Burgess Meredith out of Rocky, holding a fishing
    rod while the fish- that's you- is caught on a hook which has been baited
    with a fossilised worm covered in bbq sauce.

    If that isn't summer blockbuster material then I'll eat lightning and crap
    thunder.
