How about -
A celebrity chef (that I'd never heard of) and a w*nker Tory Times columnist were traveling behind me in a mid life crisis sports car. They followed me at low speed until it was safe to overtake and then did so giving me plenty of room and a cheery wave.
Now that would be f*cking outrageous.Where the neon madmen climb0 -
I was riding along the B9234 the other day, taking the lane with the wind in my beard and a carradice saddlebag full of home-made flapjack for company, when I saw an unusual small bird fly across my path. "Must look that up when I get home," I thought. But I forgot to. Outrageous!
that kind of thing?
guess not.
Instead, some cheap thrill, dangerous, stupid, silly stunt that isn't funny accompanied by a brash video with thumping soundtrack and wobbly fluorescent scribble graphics all over it, all for the sake of 15 seconds of "fame" on youtube. :evil: :roll:
sorry, I'm in a bad mood today.
Too much real ale last night and woke up to find that the singer off "Puff the magic Dragon" wasn't immortal after all.
