No, it's just because cyclists are a bunch of *******.

No.
Paul drives, cycles, walks and rides a motorbike so he, like me, can
see things from all sides of the debate.

Although you defend cyclists, Simon, others here seem blighted by the
motorist's mindset regarding cyclists, even if they claim to be cyclists
themselves. I would take such a claim with a pinch of salt as any regular
cyclist would be aware of the serious danger they place themselves in
whenever they share our roads with bad drivers. I suppose it all depends on
which mode of transport they use the most.

I walk most, cycle second, drive third .. but I guess that also depends
on if you count 'most' as distance, time, regularity etc.

I don't see 'much' danger for me when I use the roads, whatever mode of
transport I use as I'm pretty experienced in all, indeed I enjoy using
the roads, it's quite relaxing!

Could you possibly post the telephone number to vote for Mark
Cavendish tonight? I am at work and we have 45 different phones in
various labs and offices and I want to be able to vote on each
one. :-) If not, I''ll have to ring our lass and she will be watching
Corrie or summat instead.

But there are two different types of ozone!



Does this relate to Doug's recent posting history, or are you dredging
up posts from several years ago in order to score petty points? Do
different isotopes count as `types'?

Yes, you can have ozone made from 16O, with a small percentage of 18O
and an even smaller percentage of 17O.

So you can't be bothered to read the thread and yet still feel
compelled to comment on a small part of it.

I'm not trying to score points at all, someone asked me why I despise
Doug, I responded.
