Should be able to get a nice shell suit to match that London Langster.

Well at first glance Jimmie Fixie appeared to be the same person as russell, but I like to give the benefit of the doubt wherever possible.

What I wrote didn't even make sense. The unit of weight/mass used is the pound, not the ebay.

If he/she'd written, "I got it for 200 ebays of pound", my comment would have been more appropriate, but as it stands, I'm a sarcastic fuckwit...

... as opposed to being apposite.

For the prosecution:

c is for noun

s is for verb

Both 'c' and 'noun' come first in the alphabet, so there's no excuse, is there.

I agree with you on newbies, I should probably be nicer to most people, it just seems there have been a rash of wind ups, or really stupid questions lately.

I disagree with the rest.

On pink Arrospok or london langsters: I have eyes, they can be hurt.

On more people on bikes: If (and thats a big if) they know how to ride them and dont do the following; hit you in the face when trying to signal, ride down the inside of the wrong side of the road, ride into you while on the phone, ride while texting, lock their bike across the space for 3 or 4 bikes when they could securly lock it to the space for one, ride a brakeless bike with out knowing how to stop/ control it, or ride a london langsters with a pink arrospok.

In fact there is almost no time when any rider of any ability should do the above (exception for the wrong side of the road in rare cases).

I will say one thing, the london langster is a Fixie, not a fixed gear or track bike as it is clearly meant to be a toy for children, or a joke.

The sun's come out. For one month, once a year, we'll have an influx of new people above the usual rate. Let's just try and give them a chance. Some of these people are bound to be cool, hang out, get the rounds in, and help others. Yeah some are going to be jerks... but we have no way of really knowing for sure until we give them a chance.

Wise words.

...Though a bit of lurking should give most folk a rough idea of what to expect. It's quite obviously not going to be C+ (most days anyway).

I got ill after eating some chocolate due to not reading the label that said "Warning: this product was produced in a factory where ebay is handled."

You've got to be careful if someone's eating ebay on a plane as well, due to the ebay particles in the recycled air. Modern life is so complicated.

I beg to differ - defense is American, defence is English.

lpg is not American (in his defence).

PS. The grammar tip is more for verbs like 'to practise', as I realize there's no verb 'to defense somebody or something', unless it means to take away the role of 'fence' from a criminal middleman.
