    Even that is gay! Dude a man's lenses are never a shade, strong or otherwise at best they are tinted. If you have to give it a colour be descriptive yet vague as only a man can i.e. it's dark yellow or dark orange.

    Example: My dark blue jeans are in fact navy blue but you would never hear the word navy come out of my mouth and I don't feel too good typing it either (purpose not withstanding). My jeans are dark blue. Real men don't wear navy.... Real men don't acknowledge things as a strong shade of orange (lol - and this has really made me laugh)

    I do feel kinda bad because you basically came in to put Greg T in his place having lectured me about that mediocre Cannonball film and Flash Gordon.

    THEY ARE A STRONG SHADE OF ORANGE FFS! :evil:

    It's true though that wearing that rig completely out-gays any hint of gayness. It's so uber that it's unter.

    And besides, it only looks red when I'm approaching. It looks blue when I'm moving away. :wink:

    it's blue as you approach and red as you move away...

    although I would have to say in this case it's more likely periwinkle shifting to cerise :D

  • Right.

    Enough of this. Red can be a very flattering colour.

    See here, for example

    I think's all that needs to be said.
    Swim. Bike. Run. Yeah. That's what I used to do.

    I had to look those colours up. I hadn't got a bleeding clue :lol:

    Although in hindsight (and looking at the Wiki page again... I should've picked fuschia :D )

    Don't think I've forgotten that for one second, young man.

    That patch of road you "own"? I'm heading down there. Think of yourself as being under an eviction notice. :twisted:

    DDD - I'm 34.

    And he's also Saggitarius, likes long walks in the country and snuggling up by the fire on cold winter afternoons :wink:

    Well if there's a gay pride cycle ride I'm sure Greg66 will be out infront, head down on the drops, bum high in the air poised on the seat with the sun gleaming on his cheeks... hell it might be the fastest cycle ride the world has ever seen.... :shock:

    Littagator, I may now have to impregnant my girlfiriend to reaffirm my hetrosexualness upon the world!

    That said I am curious as to the average age of those in this thread specifically. I'm beginning to realise that I may very well be one of the younger ones....

    Guys it's all right.

    G66 was grooming young DDD who all wide eyed had shown himself youthful and naive. G66 can't resist a youngster with poor 80's film credentials and bigged himslef up in the Daddy role.

    I think we can all agree that he's been owned massively BY ME.

    You two can console each other etc etc.

    No wonder he wears his red with pride.

    It's like a shark feeding frenzy in here.

    One drop of blood in the water and Boom - poor old gay as knickers other Greg is flayed.

    Cori comes in, late in the day and sticks the boot in.

    Fully supportive obviously - keep it up.

    Well that was close - bumped into CJCP on Embankment! Could have developed into a bit of a pissing contest that, and him on the gears...

    Woohoo - someone newer than me! And in the scary thread too...

    Um...apart from that little outburst I actually have nothing of interest to add to the thread.

    So without reading back, is this still about racing at all, or is it just the general watercooler thread?

    I don't watch Eastenders or reality TV shows or read Heat magazine, so am I actually allowed in?

    Is this the worst first SCR post ever?
