Before I retired I had to look presentable in the workplace. Does
that not apply to scum cyclists?

I had a change of clothes at work.

Shower and change of clothes in works time? But then again you did post
here in works time. And you did Simon.

Many work places have now moved on from the 19th century.

Thanks greatly for that EXCELLENT compliment coming from YOU. It is
especially an honour asYOU gave it to me.
No please give me from YOU the further honour of bloody churlish
boil-brained clotpole ponce.

?It really is a very great compliment to be called sum by YOU.
Especially by YOU.
And I have no ****ing interest in looking good in YOUR eyes.
After all I ride a bicycle.
And we all know what YOU think of bicyclists. You think they are the
****witted pits of humanity.
And because it is YOU who think that, that is an extremely great
compliment.
We must be doing something right.


The usual brainless reply.
You really are a thick ****.

Maybe, like most cyclists, he was a salaried professional and got paid to do a job rather than by the hour.

I was actually told to take regular breaks and post to urc as I never took any breaks at the time.

Pounder had to be on site and in uniform but only got paid when he was actually serving customers.

Thanks very much and greatly for that EXCELLENT accolade cumming from
YOU. Especially as it cums from YOU.
Now please ejaculate in my direction the further great compliment of
craven dewberry ****head cockup pratting naff. That would really make my
day.

It really is a very great compliment to be called a thick **** by YOU.

Whew!
It is great to know that my thick **** seems to be a good thing, and not
atrophied.

Would CO2 tyre inflators work in the Arctic? Triple point for CO2 is around 5bar -55C.

Oh dear. I think it's a good idea to highlight those journo errors
with a 'sic' when you quote them as part of a newsgroup post - some of
them are glaring but others are reminders of the more common errors.

The standard of journalistic writing has been in decline for a long
time; while the content may be sound, grammatical and even spelling
errors abound - I'd expect Grammarly to do a better job, but I doubt
that would do much to combat the mixed metaphors and other faulty
constructs that we see on an hourly basis (and I try to avoid the Daily
Wail - I'm talking "proper" news sources (does the BBC still count?))
