Seen it all now !!

A few commas and full stops would have made the OP easier to read. It took me three goes to get the sense.

Something like this perhaps?

Going along an open cycle friendly road saw two other cyclists coming towards me chatting. One of them no handed. Me and them are the only people on the road, no hander starts drifting towards me. I can now see why he's no handed, he's rolling a cigarette! Just as he's about to crash into me I shout "watch yourself jesus christ", or words to that effect . "Eh sorry mate" was the reply; I despair................

No words changed, just broken up so it makes sense first time through.

Been edited for your benefit !! lol; ironically, I am very fussy about correct punctuation and grammer mysefl normally, and have been crirtisised for another post on the matter. This is not normal for me, the post was written in a hurry. Shall we all stop using acronyms too ?

I'm impressed with anyone who can roll a cigarette whilst cycling. Even more so if they watch where they're going.

No worries, my point was I had trouble making sense of your post as it was a single stream. Breaking it up a bit will allow me to read your post better.

I'd hate to miss anything you say!

Er not when he was on a crash course with myself !!

But he didn't crash into you, did he? So, no problem.

Also, I'd like to join the list of pedants that are correcting your grammar. You should have said he was on a crash course with "ME", not MYSELF.

MYSELF is a reflexive pronoun and should be used when refering back to 'I' when "I" is the SUBJECT of the crash course (the one about to do the crashing). EG "I was on a crash course, myself".

In your sentence, above, you should use the objective pronoun - ME - because you were the OBJECT of the crash course (the one about to be crashed into).

I will get back in my box, now.

Everyone please take note I didn't open this box of tricks!

I bet you'd just love being skimmed by a driver who used that as an excuse.


Anyway, the guy was an amateur, I can roll up with one hand
No need to take both hands of the bars.

Not impressed. Any self-respecting blob would be holding his own takeaway and texting at the same time.

I'd like to see how he would light it once rolled

You'd need a clip on ash tray too!

I once found a bent dining fork on the dash of my brother's Morris 6cwt van (like a Morris Minor).

"What's that for?"

"I use it to jam the throttle pedal down so I can roll up a ciggie with my legs crossed".

"Oh..."

He demonstrated. It worked very well. We were younger then.

I did not smoke then and do not smoke now.

Amusingly, in middle age he has become a 'shouty cyclist' who finds fault with almost anyone who crosses his path. But that was then...

A little more tidy-ing up.


The said Mr Christ is widely reputed to have an impressive range of similar party tricks. Just keeping the robes & stuff out of the chainring for a start.
