I've obviously no proof either way and am only stating my personal opinion, which is that you either completely made that up or significantly embellished/altered something that did

Yes, it translates as 'I've got no time for brainless trolls, so I'll just ignore, it's easy that way'.

That's 'spirit'.Actually I was guilty of cycling the other night without spare tube/lever/pump. I was TT'ing and p'tured perhaps he was too
Rather than calling for help and posting DNF I continue to cycle round

Well, according to one driver when I was in fleet management: "Oh, I didn't think it mattered. I always just put the cheapest in".
I do carry puncture repair stuff with me (2xInner Tubes, 2xCO2, Mini Pump and full repair kit), but I've still had to call my dad to come collect me a few times. Once the sidewall on the tyre burst, and the other I had a rear QR skewer fail. In both cases I didn't feel like walking home.

Does this happen to @Racing roadkill when he's wearing "that" helmet and visor?

On all 4 bikes 2 tubes, and patches, tyre levels and either CO2 pumps or mini pumps.
Once out for four hours on the MTB I got three punctures the last one is was getting dark and I was fed up by then so I got a chum to collect me. When I was a kid and didn't know any better I would ride home on a flat tyre, I was a bit of an idiot back then.

Indeed; apart from my weekly Saturday shopping trips around the city, my 'kit' ALWAYS goes with me regardless. Just have to remember to keep the right size tube with the right bike - !

I'm getting on a bit and aren't entirely conversant with interweb terminology but I sort of thought trolls were people who anonymously posted messages to 'cause a stir'. You've got my real name and I'm local to you. I'm doing bikeablity training at a local school this week and will happily tell you where and when I'll be in the real world if you want (we won't need to wear red carnations or anything as I'll be the cyclist wearing a cotton cap and you'll be the one that looks like a astronaut). As I said, I'm only expressing my personal opinion, which is that you're a bit of a fibber.

Apologies if my posts make no sense at all this evening (or ever!), but I am fairly 'relaxed' (aka pi22ed] at the present time

I don't always carry puncture repair kit on the commute. My tanks have Marathons, I look were I'm going (try to watch out for glass and potholes), got repair stuff at work and I'm mostly never far from a train station or it's a short walk home/to work.
I can fit a new inner no problems in ordinary conditions, but no way I'll manage in freezing weather conditions. When it's cold I don't ride too far anyway.
On a longer, summer ride, I will carry the kitchen sink, don't have anybody to rescue me with a car!

I got a puncture last sunday, so I just got on with repairing it, no big deal, however it was quite heartening that the vast majority of cyclists (Roadies & MTBer's) that stopped and asked if I was ok,did I need anything or even just a shoulder to cry on, but I do try to be self sufficient.
