I mean the guy sounds likes a bit of an anus but the unwritten book of the cycle commute takes a while to get to grips with. I mean when i was a young whipper snapper and first moved into Scotland's big smoke i am sure i pi**ed off a good few seasoned veterans. Just pedal on, enjoy burning passed the rest of the traffic and save the rage for when that twat in the hackney cuts you up and parks his/her FAT ass in the advanced stop line :x . They will be first against the wall when the revolution comes. The fatties who jump the cue will be way down the cue!!

now here's a proper topic for a thread - pie-eating.

Fact: pies are the food of the gods
Issue: but which pies are the first among equals?

I'm going to put pork pies to one side - they are clearly magnificient but in a different category (really a different food group) to

a) steak and kidney as suggested by woody. The traditional option and no worse for that.
b) chicken and mushroom - nice for a change but doesn't really punch the full meaty button
c) cheese and onion - one for the vegies
d) turkey and asparagus - bit poncy but good
e) steak and guinness - ooooh, now you're talking

peckish, moi?

:shock: :shock: :shock: I'm amazed that nobody from London has done the honourable thing and upset those from out of London by being London centric and INSISTING that the only pie worth eating is the mince meat variety that comes with mash and green liquor yum yum. In a white tile and marble environment with tea that only pie and mash shops can serve.

Damn, I'm really hungry for double pie and mash now... :evil:

I tend to make my own pies... today's mince pie was an exception as I saw it and thought 'I immediately require that small, sweet pie'.

So I can be a bit more imaginative!

My current favourite, therefore, is leftover chicken jalfrezi pie, closely followed by leftover roast lamb with gravy and vegetable, and various other concoctions...

mmm pie....

She makes very good pastry, thank you. And it's nowhere near as brave as the fact that I live with the in-laws.

Chill dude - folk will always jump to the front of a queue...... I blitzed a fella on a Carbon Scott CR1 on my slicked up MTB (with mudguards and a big rucksack) - boy was he unhappy - he jumped traffic and rode like an idiot - me just stayed with the traffic, riding normally and soon caught him... He then sped off into a pedestrian/cyclist subway to negotiate an island at over 25 mph - me - just stayed on the road - I was sat at the traffic lights at the other side by the time he came out...... Then he jumped the next set of lights.... I waited..... long 1 mile climb coming.... got him back in sight at the top..... could have chased at this point but I was turning off by then....

So it's not just pie eaters...it's anyone !!!! (PS I am a roadie...didn''t tell him that) :twisted:

Not so good if you see this fella on a regular basis - he may recognise you at some point..... :shock:

When my girlfriend is away I always get Fray Bentos in - the pot noodle of pies.


Oh and I HATE people cutting me up at lights - I got their first and I overtook you easily - will a headstart help?

chuckcork

While I hate the cutting in front at lights, its when they get so far forward they actually cannot see the lights change that gets me.

Whats the point of being 0.5 seconds riding time further ahead if you're still standing there bewildered as to what is going on?

As for those with fancy road clip in systems who jump in front and then take ages to clip and and start moving at a sensible speed while wobbling all over the place....?

Its like the drivers who, while the lights are red, keep creeping forwards slowly over the line instead of just stopping and waiting, then when the lights go green, they take ages to get going. What's the point!

Are you a Charlton Athletic fan? Remember those heady premiership days and eating Balti Pie at The Valley....I am a very sad panda since they went to pot.

Anyway - back to pie: http://www.pieminister.co.uk/

Mince pies are most confusing.

I had a mince pie the other day, but it was beef mince. I also like mince(meat) pies, which obviously contain no beef.

My favourite pie at the moment are the pork, cheese and pickle pies from waitrose. mmmmmmmpies

C'mon Scottish folks. Are you saying you don't like macaroni pies?!?!?! I can't believe it!

Pork Pies are the food of the Gods. Thats why Jehovah banned the Hebrews from eating pork so he could eat all the pies, and thats the truth...

Bit early for them isn't it?

I try and cram as many as I can in a short period of time either side of Christmas.

Nope. Mince Pies are not just for Christmas.

August to February is all Mince Pie Season.

Can't beat home-made. M&S, Waitrose etc all very good as you would expect.

*$'s super expensive ones are v good too.

If you think mince pies are confusing, try figuring out the difference between sweetmeats and sweetbreads. I have made this mistake.
