The BBC have contributed to this situation with their othering of cycle users over the past 40 years. Constant depiction of cycle users as eccentric, odd, angry or poor, people with no real position in society. Top Gear of course the icing on the cake with cycle users as law-breaking selfish fucks
But Sea Lord had no experience of the sea? G&S parodied this...
Now landsmen all, whoever you may be,
If you want to rise to the top of the tree,
Be careful to be guided by this golden rule.
Stick close to your desks and never go to sea,
And you all may be rulers of the Queen's Navee!
So no knowledge of actually fighting a ship, these blokes were theoreticians weren't they, unlike a navy officer who knew how to fight a ship, what did a didn't work etc?
Met him a few times at events, I rode into Edinburgh with him for Pedal on Parliament years ago. He's a decent ordinary bloke.
England is another country, and Chichester particularly so...
Willie is great, he'll laugh his head off at this...
Was W White a naval officer or civil servant Brian?
Regional ITV.
Perfect answer - The best TV network the UK ever had
E bikes are transport.
Sport cycling is cheating, based upon human genetic forms and skills, nothing is equal in sport, the sooner we stop worshipping sporting achievement the better.
Did the Royal Navy have a say, or did the govt of the day say
'Get this done you lazy sods, or we're giving all the money to the airships'
Fast train to Clarksville
What are you talking about? If someone damaged my house, my house isn't terrified....good lord
OK, sorry to bother you.
@waitmanwbeorn.com You seen this boss?
Mirrors and mudguards
'You just don't understand, it's the same for us you know....'
The lesson is don't look at the news cycle. The world is full of good folk giving more time freely to good causes than many give to their jobs. I look at Artemis and see bread and circuses. Humanity is awesome sometimes, not in terms of firing missiles into space, but in what we can do here, at home
I'm told they closed CBBC's too.
Gaza - UK is to blame for that are they?
Sucking up to Trump, - we're not in a war despite the Tories and Ref demands
Mandelson - He's gone
Lack of commitment to rejoin EU? - The UK cannot demand that, but we have closer ties (as the Irish PM said) than any previous leader since Brexit. Cheerio
No, you said it Kev:
'Sums up modern Labour...so out of touch.'
Based on the comment of a single person.
“As you can see, it’s been brought to an entire standstill”.
Except for the bike lane… that lady riding past couldn’t have been any better timed. 🤣
Hang on, we've had 30 years of folk saying modern Labour is all Islington champagne socialism...make your bloody mind up Kev. The opinion of one twattish Cllr doesn't sum up modern Labour for me.
I'm sure BBC senior management assume that those folk who never went to private schools love it, you know, the licence fee payers.
2026? East London? They're either members of the local Am-Dram rehearsing a self penned musical version of 'Lock-Stock' or an antique dealer. Nothing more than that.
I started getting hay fever in my 30s, but it seemed to apply to certain rooms where I worked, one office set my gums off tingling all day with itchy eyes, stopped as soon as I left and started next morning...really odd
The executive who grew up getting all excited over top gear episodes every Sunday night...that's who. Homophobia, racism, misogyny WNTL...
A good positive read here, and not overblown.
Yes he is, he's in the middle of the road!
That's exactly what I said to senior staff at the paper I worked at when Clinton was impeached - what does it mean....bugger all
