    The collection has grown gradually over the years. Looks like standing room only now though.. :)

    Surprised they survive some of the winds that have hit recently though I suppose that spot is sheltered from the upstream winds

    ...a couple of years ago on a very remote lane I passed a parked car, door open, with a pair of legs sticking out, inbetween these legs was was a woman whose head was moving up and down, if you get my drift ( blow job) :o :oops: ..I cycled on past...
    ...all the way...'til the wheels fall off and burn...

    Here in the good old USA it seems that the most common sight is possums, alongside
    the road, in various stages of decay. About one every mile or so. Nowdays when
    you ask a friend how far he road he's likely to say "oh, I did 65 possums yesterday".

    Last Autumn while on a residential going nowhere really loop in and around Willesden, there was a car parked up with the engine running. I must have passed it 15 or 16 times, each time getting as close as I could to get the 2 seconds of free heat as I went past.

    Coming up to it for the umpteenth time, looking forward to warm legs for 2 seconds, both back doors opened, 2 people got out, adjusted their attire and got back in through the front doors :shock:

    Yeah, I used to pass a decomposing sheep that gradually got flatter and flatter on my regular ride. It was extremely stinky and got worse as the months went on. Unfortunately it was at the top of a hill and simply holding my breath as I passed it wasn't an option.

    Don't see as much mucky mags these days. I blame the internet.

    I always thought the local council provided an 'Adult Magazine Distribution Dervice' and were in charge of placing bongo-mags under bushes, at roadsides, railway sidings etc. This seems to have fallen into disuse.

  • i've seen loads of dirty mags and once found a DVD entitled british dogging. Pity it was in half :lol:
    but seriously it's just wrong espeicially as it's not far from a school, once a pack of dirty cards had been thrown a few metres from the front gate so i stopped to pick them up and throw them in the bin.
    they should recycle their dirty mags

    on the original topic i once passed a really interesting tramp who seemed to get the idea of dressing in bright colours to get more money, yellow trousers and what i'm preety sure was a curtain turned poncho

    Still on a sordid theme my mate Dermot came back from a ride claiming to have stopped to witness a porno movie being made in a country lane :D

    I saw a few bits of broken rear mech and a chain lying in the mud at Mountain Mayhem at the weekend..... UNLUCKY................. :? :P

    I grew up in a cul-de-sac in Sussex, so the best I could hope for was page 3 of The Sun littering a leafy twitten somewhere.

    Anything more explicit and I would probably have expired...

    I found an interesting magazine a few months back on one of my rides in the countryside entitled "Over 50 BBW".

    I could only summise after quickly leafing through it that BBW stands for Big Bouncy Women!

    It was a little too specialised for me, so I placed it carefully back at the side of the road leaving it for somebody with a preference for the older larger lady!

    It is true though that there are less jazz mags in hedges these days, I remember when I was a kid we would find at least 1 magazine a week in a hedge walking to school.

    It's a bit like white chalky dog shit, you don't see that much these days either!

    About 5 years ago, I was trying to get from Richmond Park to the bridleway on the Thames river bank and got lost in Ham Common. I nearly blundered into a 50 year old bloke who was sunbathing stark naked (who needlessly stood up). I then saw another bloke in underpants, and then had to ask (navigational) directions off an unlikely pair of chaps with camp voices. It was, needless to say, a cruising area, and quite scary it was too. I made good progress on the way out.

    Once managed to leave a glove on a wall after taking it off to sort out a 'mechanical' and stupidly went home without putting it back on - only realised this once I was back home. Rode by the same spot a few weeks later and hey presto - it was still there in exactly the same spot (if a bit rain-drenched)! What a relief!

    Sounds like something straight out of a "Round the Horne" sketch! :wink:

    Big Beautiful Women, 'a friend' informs me.

    Why don't you Google BBW and tell us what you come up with... :lol:




    Many of the newspapers you see blowing about at the side of country lanes turn out to be the Sport.
    You also see men parked-up in laybys reading them.
    - why ?

    I can't imagine anyone being turned-on enough by the Sport to, well you know.
    Perhaps they feel some sort of need to read them, but don't want to admit to it at home in front of wifey and kids...



    On the other hand, I was in a supermarket on Sunday and amused to see a Dad showing his teenage son 'Nuts' - don't think my Dad would have ever done that !

    I wouldn't really use the word 'read'. Perhaps 'peruse' may be better... I'll wager they're not checking the stocks and shares...

    The classified section of the sport is full of adverts for brothels. A mates ex-GF had an appearance in front of the local sheriff for brothel keeping due to a tenant advertising the premises in the Sport using some seemingly untraceable loop of phone numbers linked to the advert for something like a sex chat phone line in the sport. There's been 3 or 4 similar cases reported recently all traced through adverts placed in the sport.

    There is no reading in the sport, the text just fills the gaps between the pictures.
