Gripe of the Day



I was stuck behind a car who was stuck behind a cyclist who insisted on riding in the middle the road for over a mile, the car in front couldn't overtake  because of the  steady stream of traffic coming from the other direction but what really boiled my piss was seeing a cycle path just feet away. 

I clicked on this link for New Chic by mistake. I was appalled by the wares on offer. If anyone is struggling with a definition for 'oxymoron', I think New Chic just might do it.

 Now I know where Camila Batmanghelidjh gets her shoes from.

    Ooh, that annoys me, too. On my drive home from work, there are two lovely wide cycle paths that are situated next to narrow-but-busy roads (one of them going up/down a hill) - they're even separated from the road by an island of trees and grass so cyclists won't be in danger of being clipped by a wing mirror. And yet, there is always some twat causing long tailbacks because he (it's almost always a "he") insists on using the road!
    I'm going to buy some of those hideous "shoes" from New Chic to throw at those fluorescent fucktards when I (eventually) go past them.

    Bloody cyclists! They send my blood pressure up when they cycle in a group and keep turning around to talk to each other.If I hit one of thw silly wobblers I'd be charged.
    Now, about those shoes...I actually like the look of some of them.But most are fugly.

    Bike situations like that make me wish my Jeep was equipped with a 007 Aston Martin oil slick sprayer for when I do get around them.

    I ran across a quote years ago I still often think:
    "When I'm driving I'm annoyed by pedestrians,
    When I'm walking I'm infuriated by drivers,
    but however I'm getting around, I always loathe bicyclists."

    Fuck me...nothing annoys me like a git in lycra on a bike. They're either hogging the road in pairs or tanking along the pavement. When they come up behind calling out 'CAN YOU MOVE PLEASE?" that's always a treat. No I bastard can't. Don't get me started on how they all seem to converge on the countryside café in the middle of bloody nowhere that you think you'll have to yourself for some p&q call fucking cloppy shoes, padded arses and big voices. "Simon, do you still want the chai latte or is it just water for you?" Fuck off. Ooooh I have just vented..
    Yup...New Chic where the shoes look like they've been made out of Plasticine by a six year old.x

    I think you've discovered uglier footwear than Crocs...
    Cyclists: selfish buggers always moaning about how tough it is for them... some roads are not meant for bikes.... they go out in all weathers... I think they are genuine masochists and they get a kick out of being persecuted. Self righteous dollops on wheels.
    Sx
