A car whizzed past us and yelled something out the window.. "Keep going Figgins" No idea who or what Figgins is but it cheered us both up and gave us a boost up the hill. We've been using the saying ever since. If Figgins is actually something bad please keep it to yourself and don't ruin it for us.

Seat68 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 On a campsite (suggested meeting you for a pint @bickster but my wife didn’t seem to go for it) and I am sat outside of my motorhome. A **** paintball place next to it and the sound of paintball guns going off since 8.45. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Army base by ours is pretty active this morning and it is just the other side of those trees you are sat in. I suspect those guns is real dude. The paintball site is only allowed to open so many times a year. Sunday morning ginfire is usually real. It seems to be rifles today, yesterday the fire was automatic weapons Of course it could be paintball guns, they musty have got them all back from Mario Ballotelli eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villa4europe Posted July 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2021 For me it's simple, a runner or a cyclist even if they're overweight or terrible technique or struggling... They're trying to make themselves better, don't knock them for that Same as don't laugh at a fat person in a gym, they've acknowledged the problem and are trying to fix it, it should be applauded and encouraged Don't be a word removed to them Fat people in McDonald's on the other hand...

bickster Posted July 11, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 11, 2021 My passengers hurled abuse at two cyclists last night because they caused me to perform an emergency stop on a 50 mph road The abuse they hurled was "You nearly just died dickheads" half a second earlier into the bend from me and they'd have been toast, they had no lights on and were both cycling up the middle of the road, one either side of the double white lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had to find a different word to use than words removed as my grandson was in the car. So now the actual phrase used when passing 2 abreast cyclists is the VT swear filter alternative of Word Removed. I think my rant at cyclists is on here already somewhere but 2 abreast cyclists piss me off no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its justified as well. Of course there will be naysayers who will push their glasses up the bridge of their nose and say actually its perfectly legal to ride 2 abreast. Its not about that, its about what shouldn’t piss you off that does. Edited July 11, 2021 by Seat68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
