I didn't. If you read my post properly you'd have noticed the bit where I point out that there are pricks using all forms of transport.

Never mind there's pills for that.
What? Senility or impotence? Can you lend me some?
At your age the local quack will dish them out to you like smarties!
That's if you can remember where the local quack's is or what you've gone in for when you find it that is.....

Hollande, last week, stated that he thought sanctions against Russia had gone far enough. France is skint, you see.......
Yep, they've got two spanking new helicopter carriers sat rusting, that they can't sell to the intended customer and that customer wants his deposit back!

I wish though that cyclists would not wear hi viz clothing, as I really really want the death of some lycra wearing pillock who thinks he looks cool or the bloke heading home from work on his old mountain bike wearing an old Barbour jacket on my scorecard
Oh for oppss sake, when ever I put my serious head on, you pop up drag me back down to your level!

As you are MI6's Ukraine Desk, I'd imagine that's quite a current draw!
Still I guess the taxpayer picks up the tab, so who cares!!

I nearly eliminated a cyclist the other day. 
I was going along a country B road with overhanging trees, where even on a sunny day it can be a little dark, doing about 50 or 60 and it was late afternoon so the light was fading. Suddenly there's a cyclist in front of me and I went around him OK, but had something been coming the other way it could have been messy! It was one of these Wiggins wannabees on a racing bike and the prick had no lights and was wearing black and grey lycra!
Now I'm generally fine about cyclists as there are pricks in cars, trucks, buses and on motorbikes too and I think that calls for cyclists to be registered and insured is nonsense really, as we have too much control and bureaucracy in this country as it is. Jumping on a bicycle and wobbling off down the road is probably one of the last fun, free and unregulated activity there is and long may it continue!
I wish though that cyclists would wear hi viz clothing, as I really really don't want the death of some lycra wearing pillock who thinks he looks cool or the bloke heading home from work on his old mountain bike wearing an old Barbour jacket on my conscience thanks!
