Because I like discussing society, culture and politics with people i actually know, and by spending time on a cycling forum frequented by people I have cycled with, I get to do just that.

S C and P were prattling away venting their woes...."okay, i give in, what's the problem?" said the bored man Chris.
"A big Paul Weller lookalike has taken our ball and run away...we don't know what to do now" they wailed in unison (though not all are union members)
The Bored man took pity and decided to help...."Stay there a minute, I know of a place of jolly japes and shenanigans. Hoy!!! Chris!!" he beckoned the bigman across the road. "Can you direct these lost souls to the Cafe?"
Being ever the gentlemen, Sir Chris showed them the way.
Nervously S C and P approached the door and opened it.
Inside were Tom O'Foolery, the Irish funster and The Reverand I M Jolly, the overseer of his Cafe flock.
"Begorra!" exclaimed the Rev, "what have we here?"
Tom looked up, "Guys fer Fawkes sake, don't stand there, come awa in"
Full of apprehension, they shuffled in. What was this place and why is there cake everywhere?
Suddenly a door opened, they jumped back! From the room emerged Amanda Panda, looking worse for wear and slightly unsteady on her feet "Well that's the last invitation i post until i improve my spelling...it's full of drunks in there, and i'm the only bear!"
Rev beckoned S C and P to stay and tell him what was so troubling them.
Rev sat back and mused..."i'm going to tell you the story of the little Scots boy that could"
"There once was a poor boy who loved cheese, but he couldn't afford to buy it, He decided to make his own and built his equipment from junk and old white goods. He became so good that he was invited to France to show how good he was. The French tho' were not impressed with his non standard machinery and wouldn't let him play.
Undeterred he got out his multi-tool and duct tape and modified to appease the frogs. Grudgingly they agreed to his participation...which they later regretted!
The little Scots boy, against all odds, swept all before him...his cheese was the best by far!
And from that day on he was known as Graeme Au Brie, the Master cheesemaker"
Rev stroked his cat, who had just come in for a portrait shoot, and smiled "i Hope you have learned something today, the cheesy Scotsman always knows best"
After shaking hands, a revitalised S C and P made their way back out into the big wide world committed to spreading their new found joy, love and happiness to one and all.....
THE END

Are we still allowed TMN's or are they banned?

Perhaps TMN herself should adjudicate the matter.
I am much obliged.

They have also been called intelligent, educated, experts, committed and dedicated. There is plenty of good coming out if this thread, its not all bashing.
And, for clarity I genuinely didn't say, or mean to infer that your reply to satnav was rude...i said... and hoped it was understood ...that it seemed rude. Enough at least for sat nav to ignore you rather than reply.
I did then go on the explain that it actually carried a very good point and probably wasn't meant to seem rude
So try to avoid taking the negative view as that will just shut down the discussion.

As one who avoids unnecessary confrontation in my spare time, as I have to mediate contracts as part of what we do, I enjoy the friendliness of CC- it's what I come here for.
SCP just reinforces how my views about life and social injustice have developed... I must be one of the oldest 'sixth form socialists' on here!

And ride round for 16 hours with the billboard on the back.
Might just do that.
