    Do blow them a kiss from us next time you're over there ;)

    Angry people? Nah. I post over here, over there, and YACF. All three have, ahem, objectionable people, but they're the exception to the rule.

    So, current hot topics on here are people getting in a huff about the rights and wrongs of the student protests and the subsequent civil disturbances, a relatively harmless attack on some "famous" people's car and DDD's inability to keep a lid on his hormones*.

    FFS, what is going on? There was a time when the most heated we ever got was about helmets good vs. bad, "hybrids are evil", etc.

    I come on here for a bit of light relief (eww!) and now I end up with my blood pressure raised, driven to write angry responses because of some of the spiteful and poisonous things people are posting.

    Come on, people, if you want a furious debate go and find a political forum. Can we stay vaguely on topic on here? :(



    * (no disrespect intended)

    Sam, many years ago we had a forum on here that refl.ected the needs of the users

    We had:

    1. Soapbox - for non cycling rants etc
    2. Cakestop for Light hearted banter
    3. Comuting - for commuting issues.

    Now we have have no cakestop and no where keep non cycling stuff isolated- we have cakestop & commuting chat which is commuting cakestop oh and we have commuting general.

    We have workshop under road and under coimmuting - we also have sections to post vanity pictures of bikes

    OK, am now in a more calm place now that life has chilled out following birth of my ickle niece (a fairly traumatic event)

    So I'll accept the variety of discourse on here and stop being so sensitive

    BTW - thanks for all the personalised posts addressing me as "Sam" - makes me smile, as per the usernames thread knocking around, that's not my real name.

    My real name is...???
