    Van door opens in front of one, causing one to swerve. One shakes one’s head. Driver issues some form of curse (foreign language, possibly Cockernee).

    One stops at lights and driver approaches for an argument. Loses argument and then says, as one moves off with the lights, that if I “come here” he will knock my head “off”.

    Still, nice day for it…

    Sounds like you should stay off the road… for your own safety.

    Isn’t an amuse bouche something you eat? I think you meant bon mot 🙂

    Replace “off” with “orf” and “come here” with “Oi pikey git” and I’d agree it is indeed a Cockerneeee.
    Failing that it’s properly Eng’olish “init”

    Aux pedants: (I bet there’s an acute “e” there, hey ?)
    I assume Woppit’s offering us an unexpected titbit from his rich and varied repertoire and hence using the the term figuratively

    This is why I like my car-free commute.

    Incidents today:
    • bunny running out in front of me
    • mad Jack Russell racing me for a stretch
    • sweat in my eyes
    • nearly stacking due to girls in short shorts
    • possible sunburn

    😀

    Wow, an argument in the time it takes for a traffic signal to change – I bet you totally deflated him with your linguistic sophistry and well reasoned debating style…….

    ……either that or bottled and ran

    I used to have one of those. It’s the only thing I miss about my former job…

    Probably a STW-style argument:
    Just the word “FACT” and a picture of an amusing cat.

    long way, or scotsman ?

    Scotsman. My natural skin colour is a deathly pale blue. 😀

    Ride is only 18km (~50 minutes) but after 3 days doing it each way in “hot” weather I admit I am feeling a bit prickly and looking at little flushed. 😳

    Après cette altercation en guise d’amuse gueule, il y avait quoi en plat de résistance ?

    Now you see. After that, I’m not sure that you couldn’t use a good slap.

    My mainly off road commute today included.
    On the way in
    Being hissed at by two angry geese
    Almost having my eye taking out by a fisherman who didn’t look behind before casting
    On the way home
    A school girl who dropped a can of hairspray under my wheels
    Two drunks who briefly considered trying to liberate my bike from me (wisely reconsidered just in time) 🙂

    My incident today: Saddle snapping off, whilst I was sitting on it, on my fixie, downhill, very fast cadence…. God knows how I kept it upright.

    Who likes short shorts?

    Forget keeping it upright. You’re lucky to escape with your virginity!

    I think that’s the menopause. Sorry to have to break it to you.
