Zokes - go count it again.
quite fancy a Garmin after all this mileage chat...
I could have sold you one...
33-17 [u]is[/u] 16, unless you're in some strange parallel universe.
(Oh yes, you are, I'd forgotten...)
Yes Zokes, but I was only 33yrs old for an attosecond...
If you passed your test on your 17th birthday (possible but unlikely - see a theme developing?), you would have been allowed to drive for 16 years on your 33rd birthday. Sure, you would have started your seventeenth year of driving but you wouldn't have finished it (again, see a theme developing?)
So you would have to be 34 to have been driving for 17 full years, no?
I could have sold you one...
aye you could have but i didnt want one at that point.
btw, the orange is growing on me...
Fat Elvis - Or it could be my 17th yr of driving...

Matches your jacket..
However you said you had been driving 17 years. Not the same thing
It does.
What garmin you got?
Or it could be my 17th yr of driving...
Which surely would mean you haven't been driving for 17 years, just 16 and a bit?
Semantics really, I know, but just checking to make sure you're not telling porkies and it's all a misunderstanding
Anyway, this really is evidence of what an utter moron you are, TJ and I are agreeing on something!
Who cares about the driving thing? Seriously?
George, Are you really 33? you looked older (no offence) in the photo. Gives me some hope for the coming year.
I'm not familiar with road riding so can't comment, but 6000 mles off road is pretty impressive too. At my solo average of about 12-13mph that would be my entire allowance of free time per week (10 hours) but in a group it's slower.
Anyway...I digress, congats on the hefty mileage. I wish I had trails on my doorstep. 🙁
Give a give a give a give a give a garmin. That ad did my head in....this thread would be far more effective.
ISBI - Seems to me a number of threads that you start seem to go this way. Usually pretty entertaining though.
What you belming about now?
Oh dear, about to blow a fuse again?
S_F - if these people ever met me they would know they were well wide of the mark too. It makes me laugh though.
Zokes - I dont blow fuses - calmest person out there.
Really?
Care to explain your outburst a few posts back then? Calm balanced people don't usually resort to multiple swear words and insults in arguments unless they're losing them, badly.

Zokes - I dont blow fuses - calmest person out there.
You are amazing! You certainly don't come accross very calmly on here - quite the opposite in fact.
Remember a few of your greatest hits;_
"Zoofighting"
"Beardie weirdy cyclist got in my way"
"I drove a million miles in 17 ( 16???) years"
Yes - Really.
I though the thread needed a wee outburst to liven it up a bit. It didn't start as a troll, but if people turn it into a troll there is not a lot I can do to stop that now is there?
I for 1 am relly enjoying this good bait guys keep it up.
The internet amuses me.
Smee, are you Peter Mandelson?
Because he's the only person who I can think of who is capable of talking so much utter tripe, and then believing it.
TJ - Zoo fighting - Guy ran to pick up my child when they had fallen over - I stepped across them and they bounced off and fell. An uncontrolled action would have been to **** them one.
Beardy touring dufus - Uncontrolled action would have been to just blast past them without regard for their safety.
Million miles - I wouldnt expect a guy that doesnt drive to understand how someone could do that sort of mileage.
Do you get it yet?
zokes - MemberSmee, are you Peter Mandelson?
I suspect he is from "through the looking glass"
When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'
I know you did not drive a million miles - the maths simply do not add up
So now you are calling me a liar. Make your mind up.
Are you calling me, someone you dont know, a liar?
No - I am calling you a fantasist.
I am sure you believe this stuff but the rest of us don't.
The million miles is so obviously untrue
Leave the poor chap alone, you all seem to have more of an insight into his life than he does...
So TJ - What other special powers do you have apart from knowing more about my life than I do?
And you are calling me a liar...
Also, dont you think I've got a certain aura about me.
TJ is the font of all knowledge dont you know!
I can count. You really want to get into it again?
16 yrs to drive a million miles. = 62500 milew a year every year since you p[ast your test. Thats 170 miles every day of your life since you were 17.
Where have I called you a liar? go on = point to it.
TJ - is it really that difficult to comprehend? Use your special powers to think it through.
I used to be a parcel courier for my family haulage firm...
TJ - there are many ways to call people a liar.
I'm going to put my neck out here and perhaps many will disagree with me; I think perhaps we have found the great British hope.If we can all just give him a bit of encouragement, he'll come out of his shell and Adidas, Sky and BC will unite with him and we'll have that fabled British TDF champion.
Dasha - I am sensing that you are a little stressed.
Yes I know you were a courier for a few years - how many at what mileage? What else did you do to clock this enormous mileage?
Can you please point to where I called you a liar?
I used to do a round trip from Glencoe to Lincoln every weekend for a year. I commuted Annan to Glasgow for a while, I commute from Walkerburn to Glasgow in the car and guess what - I was a driving Instructor too. Parcel courier was for a number of years doing 80-100k/yr.
And as I have already said - telling someone that you don't believe them is in effect calling them a liar.
Can you see a stress aura yet?
Yup - and that does not add up to a million miles ore even close to it
I understand you George, I feel your passion; I realise now I was wrong-It all makes sense now.
Yes it does.
And you must be looking in the mirror if you're seeing a stress aura.
Smee - its pish and you know it. I am laughing and not in the slightest stressed. I shall stop prodding you now.
Enjoy your fantasy world. I thought jeremyworld was strange but smeeland is a very odd place indeed
I'm seeing the dreams I had, I thought once it would be me on the podium. I'm sadly far too mediocre, but If I could help you achieve your obvious raw talent and destiny then in a small way i could bathe in that reflected glory. Don't give up on me.
