Cyclists (again) or rather shutting roads so that they can all ponce about pretending to be the Taffy bloke that just won the Tour de Drugs.
Its a bit of a jackanory, but here goes.....
It was my mums 80th yesterday and we booked a restaurant over in Epsom near where her brother lives, we had to pick him up on the way, we came of the M25 and the route we wanted to take to Epsom was closed due to a 'Cycling Event' it was carnage, it was pissing down and many of the diversion signs had blown down, the sat nav was going berserk asking as to do U-Turns etc, I stopped and spoke to a 'Marshall', asked how I was supposed to get to my destination, not a fucking clue. Anyway it took us 1 hour to get to junction 9 and over an hour to get 6 miles to my uncles house down some of the tightest, shiitiest country lanes Ive ever driven on, all the while my mum needed the kharzi, then we had to get from his house to the Restaurant that we were now late for, but this meant trying to go round the cycling route to the restaurant, which we managed, somehow. We had our grub, one of the restaurant waitresses said its so bad when they close the road fro this event, that the chefs cant get there from Dorking, so stay at the restaurant the night before?? I dropped uncle back then tried to get to the M25, 45 mins later I'm still no where close, so stopped, another couple of cars equally lost stopped and asked me if I knew how to get to the M25, chaos. Somehow, I dont know how, but I suspect more signs had fallen over ) anyway I found myself on the track (closed roads), we drove about 4 miles not seeing anyone or any cyclists, then got stopped by security, who told me I shouldn't be there, after a brief chat I pointed out that I really didn't care if there was a race, he agreed that the organisation was poor, but didn't know how I was to get to the M25, even though he had a map?? So I followed the sat nav to the M25. Then it took us 2 hours to get to bexleyheath. All the above just so lycra pain in the arses can dick about on their silly bikes. Its no wonder they are universally hated by normal people.
...and rest!
It's one day a year.
So is his mum's Birthday.
I'd be a bit pissed off at a restaurant taking bookings that day when they know the disruption caused.
And there you have the selfishness of a cyclist in a nutshell. You would rather a business turn punters away and shut for the day so you can ride your bike!
If they know customers will have a bad experience they should let them know when they book. Maybe that's a day to rethink what they do. By your logic everything should bow to business's priorities. So you might find anything that effects movement stopped. No mass spectator sport, no marathon, no events on Blackheath or other sites close to main roads. But the restaurants would be ok.
Don't spin it, its so lame when people like you try to put words in people mouths because you want what you want, and sod everyone else. There was no one watching, did you see the weather on Sunday, it was hammering down. Also it wasn't the Tour de France, is was a bunch of wannabes on a cycling jolly. And yet you still think its Ok for businesses to close and for people to lose money, including their employees, because you lot want to peddle around, really? I mean how bloody selfish are you? I cannot emphasise how badly it was organised and how pissed of many many people were. You have just reenforced my hatred for cyclists.
IMO or worse IMHO for pity's sake you're posting on a forum of course it's your opinion and as for the "humble" part, any humility would preclude your spouting and pontificating in the first place.

Agree, it is annoying, but nowhere near as annoying as people stating their opinions as facts IMO
Eg. - "The Aussies and RD WILL wait until they know what league we're in, then they WILL do the deal"

Bit demanding isn't she. When my wife tells me she will have orgasms I put her in her place by deliberately blowing my beans early. That teaches her.

Absolutely.
‘IMO Sunderland will win the league.’
Thanks for making it clear that that was your opinion, otherwise I would have assumed you knew that for a fact.

No matter what side of this argument you align with, this is a monumental "what the fuck?!" -
Been off work today, took my wife's car in for its MOT. Filled the tank up which was on fumes, spent a good few hours cleaning it.
She's bought my pride and joy back that she borrowed today covered in birdshit from parking under a tree. The car park at her work is enormous!
