[Closed] Overtaking a hurst

[i]Overtaking a hurst[/i]

Round here a hurst is a small woodland.

I'd ride through, not around.

What's a hurst?

Geoff Hurst?

Just chuck a couple of jumpers in the road

Pattie Hurst the terrorist?

Geoff Hurst? Damn! Was beaten to it.

He he I love commonly mis-spelled words. I saw an advert on ebay for a mounting bike last week

On topic, maybe if you crawled past at a sensible pace, but all guns blazing, revving the knackers off your car would probably get you some interesting glares from the occupants. Well, all apart from one.

It is a well known law that you are not allowed to overtake anyone who has scored a World Cup final hat-trick

Are you in a car or on your bike?

Wm Randolph Hearst the newspaper owner died years ago.
They carried him away in a hearse.

[i]Is it the done thing?[/i]

not if you're driving the limo with the relatives in would be my advice.

😆

Overtake and give them the bird as you go past for wasting your time.

wellwellwell - forget the hearse.
What's happening with your lady friend of 13 years?
The suspense is killing us 🙂

Hirst?

Bird is the word.

What's happening with your lady friend of 13 years?

Overtaking a hurst

Is it the done thing? ?

Hmmm....

How are you stuck behind it for the next 5 miles, if you are posting on here??

My Grandad crashed his Taxi into Geoff Hurst's Jag. True story. The cool thing was, my grandad was an ex-pro himself, so Geoff recognised him and was pretty cool about the whole thing.

My friend went to art school with Damian Hirst

My friend told me he was a right cock. So yeah flick him the V's

Oh, hearse!

I did my motorbike test near a busy crematorium. Was told that on my test failing to pass a funeral procession would be a flat out test fail. Would still consider it very rude though.

Say he was a right cock

I'd rather not or I'd have to warn myself.

Thirst?

I'd love a pint if you're buying, ta!

do you mean hearse? if it's on a duel carrigeway or 60mph single carrigeway I'd so yes, otherwise, I don't think it's the done thing...

Would not overtake a hearse on a single carriageway road in the car no matter what. Have had the misfortune to be in a few hearses in my time and it is much appreciated that people show a bit of respect and accept that their particular journey is not the most important thing in the world, just for a moment

Having said that I've overtaken loads on the R1 although I do pull the clutch in and coast past as a mark of respect

[i]duel carrigeway[/i]

and away we go again 😉

DONT OVERTAKE YOU'LL GET WET FEET!

[i]He he I love commonly mis-spelled words.[/i]

Don't think I've ever seen hearse with that spelling.

Depends on the situation I guess but those in the hearse certainly aren't thinking about what people in the outside world are doing and neither are those in the following cars.

Foiled again eh!

Are you near Hirst, Banstead ? if so drive right on through sonny and don’t look back.

You are Lazarus and I claim my £5.

duel carrigeway

😳

Did the OP overtake then?

I mean it's been an hour since he posted, or is he still in the queue?

BTW, what does the reath say?

You must have a nice car, those things are meant to be pretty quick.

Do it! Life goes on. My friend is an undertaker, he's told me off on a few occasions for overtaking him.

He said I should waste my life crawling along behind the cortege at half the speed limit as a mark of respect!

How the hell can I respect someone who, a) I don't know, and b) is holding me up while I'm trying to go about my daily work!

It's in my will that I'm taken to my final resting place as fast as traffic conditions and the rules of the Queen's highway will allow.

Honestly, pet hate of mine... Up there with cats and floral tributes.

Fannie Hirst is an American novelist, if that helps?

The briefing for the driver of the Sierra 4x4 estate(!) carrying my mother in law's coffin last week was: "floor it mate, she liked going fast"!
It was hard for the minibus driver to keep up.

Whilst I'm sure you're more important than most people on the road it's not about respect for the person, its respect for the occasion.

You started well, but then it all just turned into white noise...

ssssshhhhhhhhhhchhchhchchcccccccccccccccccccccssssssssshhhhhhhhccc

Here's a blast from the past with some input from TJ

hurst - spelling mistake, obviously

that's the wurst joke on here today 😉

Get down off your pedal stool!

get down off your pedal stool!

Is that the cycling equivelent of a high herse?

BTW, what does the reath say?

[img] [/img]

Not a lot. He died in 1971.

Get down off your pedal stool!

Is that like a turbo trainer??

Only if you're greg lemonde and you've OD'ed on energy drinks

Bit of a moot point really, as the OP is unlikely to jest get on with it.

At my grandmothers funeral a white van man decided to recreate The Inbetweeners funeral scene, and overtook into the *middle* of the funeral procession where he got stuck all the way to the church.

If you did go past, make sure you do it on the inside, making you an "undertaker"
See what I did there.........

Looks like it did for her too...

Why is that hotdog mating with a banana?

Where is wellwellwell?

Is that a picture of an E-type sausage?

You can overtake but not on the inside as that would make you the undertaker.

Your spelling is terrible. You need tudoring.

Lucien has already taken your coat a few posts earlier.

Hope it's not cold out 😉

pffft.. ive laughed out loud several times reading this fred, top work ferrets, top work.

Do it! Life goes on. My friend is an undertaker,

Christ. Not only do you both have no respect but one of you thinks its OK to go up the inside as well. 🙄

If only I could spell. And for many of you, this won't come as a surprise, but I didn't do it. I waited patiently

If only you had overtaken, it would have kept this thread down to 1 page of crap jokes.

Yeh i overtook a caravag once, and a trunk, a bust, a coack, all whilst riding my motorcyclepo!!

I like spelling badly! its fun.

You passed it yet?

This was a friends FB update that made me chuckle yesterday

Yesterday via Mobile
Just delivered a limo to a funeral home, turned with the radio blasting "spirit in the sky".....the grieving lady in the car park did not look impressed, oops

?

overtake, its the best feeling ever when you zip past something much slower than you with an engine whilst u are on a bike, overtook a bus in the french alps on a hairpin bend once, nearly killed myself, but it made me smile!

A cop friend of myne had to go threw a funeral cortege just loading up outside the deceaseds home on blews & toos once to get to an RTC, what made it wurse was the moreners all parked on either side of the rowed meaning he had to weave through!

I saw this happen while I was out running, I stopped running and walked past but felt that was worse as just at that moment the paul bearers appeared and we ended up with that awkward 'after you, no after you' moment! I wished I'd turned and ran the other way dressed in flo green and lycra in the middle of all that black I was litterally looking for somewhere to hide!

..... I guess they'res a comedy scetch in thier somewhere?

...... I think his name was Arthur though, not Paul!
