Now steady on, old chap, that's going a bit far!

Magna, sorry, seem to be subverting this thread. I'll desist.

Liked this definition http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=numpty

Numpty first surfaced on the terraces of west of Scotland football grounds, many many years ago. A player who couldn't hit a cow's arse with a shovel would be a f***ing numpty.

  1. "Awww Jimmy you f************ing numpty!! You couldnae score wi' ma' sister!"

I don't agree with his method of going across the junction, but TBH if you were to speak to me like that I'd be telling you to f*ck off. I share with you the annoyance of people who are bad cyclist/drivers...

+1.

Just a wee bit too much in your face Magna? Very passive numpty- try that with your average punter & the surrounding motorists might have been treated to the fun of a couple of cyclists having a good barney.
 
TBH I think sone people are getting mixed up with turning a blind eye and being what my mum would call a "busybody". There's a huge difference between say, stopping someone from being kicked to death in the street and giving a RLJing cyclist a telling off.

So would you tell someone off for chucking litter out of a car? How about if they were kicking their dog, or kids hurling rocks at passers by. I slag off RLJs because what they do affects me as a cyclist. If you don't want to be told tehn the answer is pretty simple... You stop at the red light.

The dog and kids yes (TBH I've never seen any kids throwing rocks at passers by). Littering would depend on the circumstance. I don't understand how some people on here can get from one end of the street to the other, what with having to stop and yell at all of the people littering, spitting,swearing and RLJing.

Can I add that I'm not defending RLJers. It's not something I do, ever.

So it is presumably it is something that you would like not to happen. Maybe peer group pressure might have an effect?:thumbsup:

I see it as pretty much the same as people speeding in cars, there's not much that can be done about it. But, who knows, maybe Mags shouts "numpties" to every car that passes him on the motorway!

I was watching it with the sound off and I saw you do this: ;) !

After you had crossed the junction I don't think I would have squeezed through the gap to the left of those cars - I was squeezing my buttocks watching the clip!

Ummm, your assuming that cars pass me...;)

You think nothing can be done. I disagree. I don't think we'll change our minds!:wacko:
