    What makes me angry? Dancing clipboard people getting paid to harass me on the street. And a cycling forum being turned into a soapbox.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    yeah and that..... Fecks me off big time

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad and not dicking on about it being a fruit...

    ARGGGHHHH

    This is a pretty gross simplification of the situation you're campaigning against. I can understand that you need to do this to get donations, but you'd probably get more traction on here if you promoted your campaign with a bit more nuance.

    WRT Pizza - the fruit & veg comes secondary to the meat & cheese imo. It only compliments the main attraction!

    Not my campaign, I just thought it was funny and that you'd appreciate the giggle aspects.

    "3 meals a day or 3 miles a day" made me laugh out loud.

    FWIW fish on a pizza is worse than pineapple.

    Well I guess the clincher question is (if you are in the office at the moment) is did you find all the shoes from the changing rooms had been removed by the cleaning team, and are now in giant cardboard boxes. If so, I guess that would makes us colleagues.

    No you CANNOT have a vegetable pizza at all . . . .

    If you don't have salami or other God given meat products (chorizo - PRAISE GOD) on your Pizza you are queggish and need to man up and get carnivore.

    Anchovies and Olives are taste bombs and manly.
