Funny, that's where my pharmacist gets his steaks...

Your friendly local pharmacist?

Ok, this is the merged thread for the reaction to the recent deaths on our roads. There is a RIP Burry thread, which I will sticky, and a Tribute to Burry thread which I will do the same. Post relevant content in the respective threads.

100%

We have a winner. I have heard countless motorists defend their law breaking by saying "the taxis do it" So screw that. I'm now breaking the law on my bicycle cause motorists do it. What BS. Fckn motorists can jolly well obey the law. Everyone one can jolly well obey the law, regardless of who may otherwise be breaking it! What did that oke in The Bible say? Remove the log from your own eye before you crap all over everyone else. I agree.

Call me Martha Stewart. No, wait, her willy is probably also bigger than mine...

I was just about to. No worries, I'll take the blame. remember, my post count is too high and my willy is too small...

Ya, bro, the language and tone of the OP sorta opened the way for similar tone in the thread. Like she wasn't swearing at us (or maybe she was) just swearing near us?

You guys crack me up. All we need is Martyn Ashton for this to be a real road bike party...

Oooh! Ooooh! Post that thingy about Hitler's 29er...

The OP don't care about water. Only hellmuts!

Yeah. I had a plate of nachos now, so gas is a distinct possibility!

Nah, just have a belly full of ache.

I'm actually quite sick of hubbers bellyaching about cyclists belly aching about their safety. To be frank, I have quite the ache in my belly at the moment. But that could just be hunger. I'm making nachos.

Like Tess has been saying, the problem lies with ALL those that break the law...

You have a point. However, it would appear that most road users view all other road users as obstacles to them getting to the gym or the garage for smokes and a pie. There's a general I'll kill you to get there one second faster, and by the way, I'll kill you for even breathing the same air as me, attitude around. You call it a humanity thing, and that's closer than a cyclist vs motorist thing.

That shotgun manoeuvre! Epic!

Winning it back is impossible without his confession.

I think he will, and he'll keep it clean. He'll say, sorry, I did wrong, we all did, I'm a victim of a corrupt sport and leave it at that. I reckon he's eaten enough worms out of the can already open without opening a whole new one.

80's school kid and I was taught the right way. Dunno if it changed from your time.

Italian national coach: "Lance, speak out. Spit it out" Italian national coach and former world and Olympic champion Paolo Bettini has called on Lance Armstrong to confess to his doping past so that professional cycling can start afresh. Bettini raced between 1997 and 2008, when EPO use was rampant in the peloton. He won numerous classics, two world titles in 2006 and 2007 and gold in the road race at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. He took over from the late Franco Ballerini as Italian national coach in 2010 and hopes to become the manager of the Italian nation teams after next week's Italian Cycling Federation elections, while Max Scanidri would become national professional coach and team selector. Bettini called on Armstrong to confess after a report in the New York Times suggested that the Texan may have talked to associates and anti-doping officials about publicly admitting that he used banned performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career. "It's true, the show must go on, as they, but it (cycling) has got to be credible and an eventual confession by the American could be the chance to cancel everything that happened in the past and start all over again," Bettini is reported as saying in the Italian La Repubblica newspaper. "Armstrong's got to do it. All the evidence points in one direction: against him. He didn’t defend himself against the accusations thinking he'd left the world of cycling. But I can tell him as an ex-rider, this is his world and you can never just leave like that." Bettini also confirmed that he is favour of some kind of amnesty or truth and reconciliation commission, without indicating if he had anything to confess about his professional career. "The really serious thing is that what happened has revealed that the whole system is crooked, at every level. Some people have talked about an amnesty. I'm in favour if everything comes out," Bettini said. "Lets get rid of who we have to get rid of and start all over again. I don’t really believe in confessions in sport but if it helps put an end to this vicious circle then I welcome it. Lance, speak out. Spit it out. It'd be good for him and for all of us."

You make me weep bro.

How does that saying go? Stupid is as stupid does.

Ya, and the law says you can't ride a bicycle on the highway.
