had some fun today,

I took my bike out and because the traffic was light, i was scutching all around the new cycle lanes at the saddle , I was reminded of being my younger years going round self built obstacle courses  out of old barrels and bails of hay and stuff, I spent an unmeasured amount of time flying round  on my bike having the time of my life, I went down to run over any crazy golfers in the way, It appears they are only 'fair weather' golfers,

thank you Wigan council for the free play area for grown up kids,

Was there any traffic, were you sucking/breathings in all those exhaust fumes?

yea there was light traffic and like you say Him, i was suckin' in fumes, I live on a major artery to Wigan, fumes are part of my daily diet and are probably going to promote an early demise , there's nowt i can do about that, If i stop breathing, I'll die sooner,

live for the day is my highway,

I keep tellin thi and tha won't be towed, wen noo road is built your traffic clogged street, will become a peaceful backater, devoid of all traffic

And I keep tellin' thee, but tha waint listen, When that new road is built, it will be chok o blok full and soon some one from't highways will say, " who shut off a major artery off, weirs the sense in that, get it opened agen, this is another Marus Bridge mash up, we've gone backerds "

Come and claim your tomplum pen

An interesting ride, Tom. Thank you.

BUT...watch out for that lass with a camera....she still wants to shoot you, so I believe.....

Sounded like a fox.

Hope he didn't run over one.

just before that scream someone shouted,  " Mester Tom"  quite clearly, the camera did't pick it up as clear as I heard it, ,,,I think it was either the black or the blue car to the left of me,

I think a few more cyclists on the paths would cramp your style, Tom. You’d definitely have to stay in the right lanes.

There were well used cycle paths on Oxford Rd in Manchester when I was a student there (early nineties). The cyclists would whizz by & I was a very tentative pedestrian when crossing.

'Mester' or 'Mister'?

It wasn’t me - I don’t shout, I shoot

That's it, jo-anne....go get him....

I ruled you out jo-anne but you still get a tomplum pen, if you pm me your address I'll post one to you, Mester Corky gets one as well, next time you see me at Kev's place ask for one Mester Corky, they are good writers,

Only if you are wearing that new green hat.

nay Mester nay Mester and thrice Nay Mester, the green hat is older than new, I never wear new anything at Christmas time, I have an array of wooley hats to compensate for lack of natural thatch covering, But I did have the green one on today, So are you saying you saw me today ??

There seems to be a bit of a grey area here. I can understand why oap thinks the traffic lights don't apply to him but the Highway Code says

69
You MUST obey all traffic signs and traffic light signals.
Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD reg 10(1)

So, since oap was on the pavement should he have obeyed the traffic lights or not?


EDIT: Looks like he should have done:

Obeying traffic lights!

I love your vids Oaplum

Thank you Admin

Maybe I just happened to have watched your greenhouse/doghouse Christmas vid and wrongly assumed it was a Christmas hat.



And watch your lip next door, Mester. Note my signature below.

You tell 'em, Corkers....

He'll be getting ejaculated for his lip, Fred.


Bloody cyclists!
