Has my idea about leaving through routes but making them zigzaggy been performed anywhere? Yes. Clarendon Park, Leicester (which is supposedly a "fashionable" area). It's practically impossible to drive through between the major roads on any particular residential street, as they're virtually all either blocked off or one way at some point, but you can still get cars into and out of the neighbourhood. The problem comes with trying to get someone to deliver you anything (especially furniture) as the lines of cars parked on both sides makes it virtually impossible for large vans to get onto the streets. Some years ago I was living in a narrow cul-de-sac in Reading - cars parked along both sides making the actual useable street very narrow indeed. One day there was a big fire near the closed end of the street; people trapped in the burning building etc. It was most entertaining to see the ladder appliance nerfing parked cars out of the way on it's way up the street! |

No you wished you'd been there, to get there would require transport, and as it isn't essential that you were there it'd be frivolous. Or would you use your leather shoes mr vegan ? Don't wear leather at all. I suppose you exploit animals for frivolous reasons, like vanity. Glad to see you've finally admitted that leather shoes aren't compatible with your vegan ideals, and all those months you spent protesting that they were. PS Nice to have you back Duhg I actually missed you in some sort of masochistic way ![]() |

No you wished you'd been there, to get there would require transport, and as it isn't essential that you were there it'd be frivolous. If I had been there it would be more than likely that I would be on a bicycle which, because it doesn't pollute and congest but does promote healthy exercise, is not frivolous.

Glad to see you've finally admitted that leather shoes aren't compatible with your vegan ideals, and all those months you spent protesting that they were. There are, still, varying degrees of Veganism. The fact that I am more 'pure' than I used to be, and even more radical now, is pleasing to me. PS Nice to have you back Duhg I actually missed you in some sort of masochistic way ![]() Surprisingly, that is the most pleasant thing anyone has said about me on this newsgroup for as long as I can remember. Could it be that I am actually experiencing a degree of tolerance from car users and animal exploiters here? No, surely not! -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net |

says... If I had been there it would be more than likely that I would be on a bicycle which, because it doesn't pollute and congest but does promote healthy exercise, is not frivolous. Bicycles pollute. The manufacturing process causes pollution. Surprisingly, that is the most pleasant thing anyone has said about me on this newsgroup for as long as I can remember. Could it be that I am actually experiencing a degree of tolerance from car users and animal exploiters here? No, surely not! We did miss you Duhg. There's something about your incessant ranting thats comforting. -- Conor Opinions personal, facts suspect. |

Alas no, but you do brighten up the newsgroup, you also have the side effect of bringing out the best in the other posters which usually ends up with me grinning. |

Sort of like Helsinki Syndrome, where captives being to miss the electro- genital clamps, when they're not administered. Stockholm Syndrome. For myself, I don't mind Duhg because his messages are so devoid of intelligence and surprise that you can easily killfile him and know you are missing nothing. But I really wish everyone else wouldn't argue with the f****r, especially in a thread I started. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |
