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. |

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". 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. |

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.

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.

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. I'm not so sure that you do. He has certainly revelled in the controversy on more than one newsgroup, sometimes 'gleefully'. 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. The reason he gets 'beaten with a stick' could be related to his very open hatred (no, thats not an exaggeration) of private cars and/or their drivers. Since he insists on being so deliberately confrontational, I think its churlish to call those who respond in similarly 'robust' fashion trolls. Perhaps you should read more of Googles comprehensive posting history on him and then re-evaluate your viewpoint? |

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. He quite openly boasted about it here on uk.transport. He seemed to find it very funny, and he had the perfect excuse "everyone does it". I've never seen him utter a word of regret. 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, Very Christian. However I think that several Emperors had the right attitude to Christian attitudes. And since I've never seen him utter a word of regret and I have seen him boast about his continuing excessive drinking, I don't see any sign of regret on the horizon. but was prepared to confess it. Sadly a couple of trolls here will continue to use it as a stick to beat him. He deserves beating with something bigger than a stick. Can I send a virtual pick-axe handle to his detractors? |

To take the "primary position" : to ride a bike in the middle of the lane in order to obstruct other road vehicles from overtaking.
