hell hath no fury ?

[Tumbleweed]

? like an old woman who hates cyclists. here's a classic from today's daily mail:

HURTLING through the traffic, the cyclist probably thought he had got away with jumping a red light and nearly knocking over an elderly woman.
But the pedestrian in question was 84-year-old Tory peer Baroness Sharples who perhaps inspired by Lady Thatcher, swiftly delivered her own form of retribution.
The veteran peeress swung her handbag and landed a sharp blow to the cyclist as he whizzed past outside the House of Lords. And she said her only regret was that she didn't hit him harder.
She added that cyclists were becoming an increasing menace to pedestrians by ignoring traffic signals such as red lights and riding on pavements.
And she called on cycling groups to do more to encourage courteous behaviour on the roads.
Her comments reinforced calls for laws requiring cyclists to put registration plates on their bikes.

This sounds like some of the cyclists I encountered in Pretoria, especially on Centurion roads, the old jhb road to be exact and I thought, I would never cycle.....

[Evan Andreou]

I missed this ZC/HR/CP triangle with the stones, elaborate please

[Tumbleweed]

wolfie, it was one of the darker moments on the hub. cp and zc thought lance armstrong (the first man to walk on the moon, not the guy who sang "blueberry hill") was hot. and the hub boys said he wasn't. then zc and cp said they wanted to frow stoopid boys wif rocks. then we almost all made up when cp said she wanted to walk wif boys on the beach?only to realise she was luring us there because there were bigger rocks to frow us wif. she's really nasty!
