£9,500 Charge Plug anyone

http://www.politics.co.uk/opinion-formers/press-releases/eta-britain-s-most-expensive-bicycle-sold-with-its-own-security-guard-$1225875$364703.htm

I was looking at footballers, tits and injuries in Nuts the other day when I came across a story about the Environmental Transport Association flogging a gold-plated Charge Plug for charidy, for £9,500 (they've described it as a mountain bike, even though it's clearly got no gears and brakes). I don't like it, it's a horrible mess of cheap parts (deep Vs.. with stickers still on (for that price etc etc)). The above link is to the only news story on it I can find on t'net. Any scorn to be poured forth?

I just want to pour scorn, that's all, you understand. yeah? i'm a small man in a small job. I'm petty and vindictive. it's all i have.

see I claim mine was also original as my thread was based around the mysterious shift of it from charity raffle to ultimate bling bike-to-the-stars, which really made my blood boil I can tell you.

See you need an angle, Squooch.

And it's still not as expensive as any of VB's bikes, repost or not.

can someone take this post down, otherwise everyone's gonna think it's a new, interesting, thread and then get annoyed that its not, see who started it and think, oh, it's squoocher. he never has anything interesting to say. he's so desperate and bitter. I hate him. etc. Then who'll have me?

yet amazingly I seemed to breathe new life into it Pete and, a week on, garnered more interest by cleverly wading in with bile.........;)

squooch most people won't look at this, don't worry.

The only way you'll really stand a chance of it being removed is maybe start offering Bridgestones..?

Can i book my place now on the next lynch mob? I've an excellent persecutor with an unblemished record of inflicting abuse on others in a bid to mask my own inadequacies. I'm willing to run with all manner of flimsy, trumped up charges. I propose, in fact, that we turn our pitchforks and bile on this pajama fellow. He's after everyone's stuff. He won't stop until he's got YOUR BIKE. I can't sleep at night with fear. Burning torches at the ready. (i'm glad i started this thread now, i feel i truly belong).

ha! I dunno, one well-won competition, I'm getting magpie accusations...

trouble is I was - well frankly i was provoked into responding - and Squoocher your thread just got bumped again.................

btw i was modestly intrigued to see my own Charge thread has now been temporarily revived - I believe as a result of this errant, tardy, not-looked-at-the-topics-enough thread making readers nostalgic for the well-formed vitriol of last week..... heheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

edit: it doesn't mean anything. It's true - looking back now Pete's was the original thread and I didn't look around enough. Even though mine got more interesting, largely because I was more livid.
