Miserable b*ggers

Why is the front one fondling his left moob?

Maybe it was this bunch of grumpy boogers i saw today ...

Yes, they appear to be winding the other road users up a treat.

I only acknowledge awesome riders. That means I only say hi when I'm in London.

And out of those I only say hi to those who are as awesome as me. So, once or twice a year.

There's no way you only look in the mirror once or twice a year?

I looked in it twice reading your post

It's quite impressive that you've recovered so quickly from swooning to reply so soon.

Plenty of room to go around when the road is clear Mr grumpy pants

I can sympathise with the OP, I had a similar experience today after leaving my hotel and walking to Lime Street station. Possibly if I hadn't been going for such an early train one of the street beggars would have been on duty and acknowledged my presence. It was much the same on the train to Preston, everyone was glued to their tablet or eyepiece or whatever they call them this month. There was a reaction at Preston where I had to change over to a bus and nipped into a public toilet, I'm sure the lone guy in there made some sort of signal which I was unable to interpret, not being familiar with the local codes.
Arriving at Central Station Glasgow I enquired of a passing local the best route to Buchanan Street bus station, his instruction lengthened into a conversation during which it transpired he was actually a native of Istanbul rather than Glasgow, but what the heck, it was only 15.20 and I'd had my first conversation of the day

Then I came across a large club group between Downe and Keston, obviously swelled by the nice weather, riding 4-5 abreast.

Complete bollocks. A cyclist takes up roughly a meter. So this group were about 4-5m wide. Really, or are just exaggerating badly to prove a weak point.

Anybody you would have encountered would probably have been suffering a stinking hangover, so it would not have been anything personal.

If I still lived there I would have greeted you with the cheery disposition you would have expected, as I always did with visitors to the city at that time on a Sunday morning (such as the pair of Americans I encountered on Exchange Street East at 7.45 one Sunday morning who were looking for "painted ladies")

Nope. You had to be there I suppose.

But, as I said above, nothing to see here. It's just me, obviously. My "gripe", if it was one, was nothing to do with their formation, they could have been 20 abreast for all that mattered.

Why am I even bothering to answer that, anyway?

I come here every day and nobody says hello, miserable bunch.

This club has a certain reputation for this sort of thing - blue nifty kit I reckon with a piccy of a mast on it. Have been known to hang around a certain cafe with fake french name in one of London's highest bits named after a long departed big window cleaning job. I used to encounter them a bit. I remember one of them telling me he didn't take water on rides less than a certain length - weight penalty don't you know.
