On The Road / Re: Cyclist who knocked down and killed pensioner

« Last post by Gattopardo on Today at 01:24:27 am »

My motorbike mate though it was amusing that a cyclist 'under took' him while travelling at 20 mph.  The fact the cyclist was going above 20mph unassisted and though it was a wow pedl power moment but the comments show the hate towards cyclists.

Teaches me that people are utter shit streaks.

Due entirely to my own stupidity I have made a serendipshit serendippydoodah reet spawny discovery that will allow me to slash the number of files in my $TRUCK_SIMULATOR mods by about 60% and reduce the size of those which remain, while simultaneously adding MOAR luvverly colours to the trailers therein.  Win and, moreover, win

The correct response to anyone quoting the Daily Mail is 'Oh, that's the paper that supported Hitler'.

Daily hate or the daily Zig hiel.

As a matter of course I don't deal with cold callers.

Mostly I just put the phone down but recently, when someone has said something like "I'm one of the energy consultants for your area..." I interrupt and say "What's the postcode?". They have no idea.

Just liars I'm afraid.

Racing / Re: Giro d'Italia 2024

It's just you I think. 5 stages, two bonafide sprinty stages. The only thing going against that is that Pogaçar already has control of the GC so sprinters cannot acquire it. Which conversely makes a stage win all the more combative.

RIP. Still don't know how he made that sound, it even came across live (got to see Shellac a couple off years back).

And saw this retweeted earlier, he knew where he stood and made sure everyone else did too: https://news.lettersofnote.com/p/nirvana
