Interesting things you pass while out cycling

  • Not me personally, but a friend of mine found a shoe box once while cycling home. Being a bit of a scrounger he stopped and picked it up. Giving it a bit of a shake he realised there was something large and weighty inside, so he opened the lid.

    Inside the shoe box was a turd wrapped in a tea towel.

    Ran into an episode of Casualty being shot in a country lane a few years ago while on the lejog, had to wait 10 mins or so till it they said it was clear to pass, but the crew were all very chatty/ friendly.

    I saw a ginger Rabbit the other week on a ride (me, not the Rabbit), luckily one of my buddies clocked it also, otherewise I'd have put it down to the mushrooms. :shock:

    I passed a guy getting 'serviced' by his girlfriend next to the car in the woods near where I live. :shock: I didn't stop to chat.

    Given one of the previous posts in this thread, I'm worried by the mention of Rabbit with a capital R! Hopefully you're referring to the mammal, not (as the menswear sales assistants in The Fast Show would describe it) "a battery powered instrument"... :oops:

    Oh, word filter ahoy.

    A junk = a poo.

    Right. So that's poo, wrapped in a tea-towel, in a shoe box. Takes all sorts. Possibly the ideal leaving gift for a really unpopular work colleague? :wink:

    I saw a weighty 60 year old lying in a grassy field, having fallen out of his electric wheelchair; with his trousers round his ankles ......:shock:

    I did stop to offer my services (not that kind), no questions asked - so english.

    Given that this thread sarted so innocently with a bench full of childrens toys its amazing how quickly it turnded into a discussion of 'naughty things' found in british laybys!

    I passed a £20 note! Locked up both wheels in my haste to get back and see if there were any identifying marks so that I could return it to it's owner. :lol:

    :D Perhaps it was someone just passing through.

    It was a strange couple of weeks:

    Found a wallet with £10 in it. Belonged to an old woman according to the ID in it. Handed it into the police - no reward. :(

    Also found a wallet with £50, some kind of parole notification and a photo of a burd in knickers and with her @rse in the air. :shock: Go figure. Wallet returned - reward! :D

    Wasn't on the bike when I found the last 2.

    The most interesting things I see are wallabes, llamas, deer and donkeys. And occasionally a riding buddy crashing!

    Once came round a corner and found a woman with her shorts and knickers round her ankles having a p155. Made a nice change, it's usually me getting caught having a p155.

    Ps .Whilst riding up to York last Friday {100} I almost ran into a parked car .Busy eye balling a busty blonde :oops:

    Hmmm you never mentioned that when we spoke to you in the food tent at the CTC rally. I wonder if that had anything to do with the fact that your wife was there and providing your lift home? :lol:

    There's a fence in South Island new Zealand decorated with shoes. I think they're all singles I couldn't find a pair at all, never mind a pair to fit me :)
