    No worries - happens to us all. Take it careful if you head out on the bike: nothing worse than stuffing yourself up for a few weeks after a minor slip on icy roads.

    Hi Bbrap, no worries, just taking the wee-wee.

    Anyway, back to annoying things. People who refer to cider being brewed. Brewing involves the application of heat during the process. If you are heating your apple juice, you are not really making cider, are you?

    It's also that anger is such an ugly vibe. Hurtful. Vicious. It's almost as if the monster inside the hat (or whoever else is getting angry) is feeding on his anger.

    Remember guys - you're either on the bus or off the bus.

    Why is everyone being angry on this thread?

    Just chill, dudes.

    You started it :wink:

    Must be the cyclists equivalent of cabin fever because of the weather. 'Cranking fever'?

    I am an innocent party! Just because some AGC/RLC hat started shouting vile abuse at people doesn't mean that meek mild mannered Matthew has to be drawn into the argument.

    We all just need to go with the flow, be cool, tune in, chill out man.

    Sorry to jump into this but - Matthewfalle - who are you to be calling anyone 'hat' ? I've read your old posts and your only a bloody Combat Medic.I know this because you say you are. NOT A PARA. Sorry to piss on your ego but you don't get to call anyone hat because you are one. I have done P Coy and wear my wings and Pegasus with pride. So please stop calling people hat, hat!

    How does OPSEC allow you to pretend to be something you are not?

    I'm very sorry Craphat Matt that does not wash.

    I'm not surprised we're constantly at war if you military types become enraged by the mention of headgear :shock:

    And it's all a bit bewildering for us civilians too...Am I to understand that the term hat is in some way derogatory, and only to be used by members of the Parachute Regiment?

    People (and these people may or may not include Mrs Finchy) who cut olives up into quarters and then put them into food which I'm expected to eat. If you think olives are so f**king great, you can eat them whole and reduce the chances of me accidentally eating one.

    Gherkins. Why would anyone want to eat anything that resembles a tiny, diseased pen1s?

    Absolutely, or at least the flagrant over use of the word coupled with grammatically poor sentence construction*:

    "We will absolutely fix this problem".

    *You can pick holes in that one too.

    It's a cycling forum - becoming enraged by the mention of headgear is part for the course isn't it?

    Gherkins are awesome, as are their little cornichon cousins. What is annoying is having a burger in a pub/restaurant and they don't give you a gherkin. It's not a proper burger without a gherkin.

    Agree re olives and whole pickled gherkins look gross, although I don't mind a slice on a burger.

    But I would add to the list, shellfish...urgh.
    Why would anyone want to eat shiteaters.

    MMMM Gherkins, we used to call the really big ones "Wallys", maybe Wally had a large diseased pen1s.

    People who don't like gherkins or olives. Unless they are taking the gherkins out of their burger so I can have extra in mine :D

    With the possible exception of scallops, I'm with you on the shellfish. Frank Skinner said he thought eating oysters was like eating phlegm off a tortoise.

    WTF? Name and shame.

    On a similar note, tinned tomatoes on a fry up, not fresh.

    Full English breakfast?? And there's some interesting Thai street food that comes topped with a fried egg...

    Beans in ramekins? What sort of pretentiousness is that? Tom juice mingling with egg yolk and stray bits of black pud is de-rigueur is it not?

    I actually prefer the tinned toms on a breakfast. Juice, along with egg, to be mopped up by white bread.

    Me too, preferably "cooked down" so that they loose their shape a lot. Getting them seasoned with the right amount of salt and pepper AND blending in the right amount of bacon fat is an art in itself. Tinned toms is one of the best bits about a full english when i cook it.
