I'd like to read those posts. I think that Brian would probably admit to
having views that diverge from those of the rest of the URC regulars,
but he is remarkably open and honest.
He's anything but open and honest. He's a lying ****weasel who considers
that it's reasonable to get ****-face drunk then to take charge of a
vehicle carrying passengers, none of whom even have seat belts.
But you only know this *because* he is open and honest about it.

The fact that he boasts about recklessly endangering the lives of others
does not make him "open and honest".

I've not read him "boast" about it, you'll have to ask him if he thinks
that it was a wise thing to do. I think that I know what his answer
might be.

Reggie and Ronnie Kray liked everyone to know who they had had killed
and injured. By your argument above that makes them "open and honest".

No it doesn't, because my argument is based on the premise that he
regrets that action, but was prepared to confess it. Sadly a couple of
trolls here will continue to use it as a stick to beat him.


Once more I am astonished that *any* behaviour seems to be acceptable to
the cycling community as long as someone wedges a saddle up their bum
crack, or claims that they do. Because I don't believe a single word
that Robertson says.

If you had been reading this group (URC)for a while you would have read
responses that condemned red light jumping, riding on the pavement,
riding while intoxicated, riding without lights etc etc etc.
At the moment the group is in a dysfunctional state after the concerted
attempts by a couple of trolls to destroy it, Doug's attempts to stir up
controversy and a boneheaded series of arguments about helmets where
neither side will let go.
What we've got now is overreaction, overstatement and wilful
misunderstanding and an absence of people who want to discuss the joys
of self propelled travel. I hope that it will calm down soon.
