Bike radar. An internet forum totally unrelated to this one that sceptic is for some reason unnaturally obsessed with but too scared to actually post on himself so just cries about it here all the time.

Seriously dude. If you don't like it that much don't read it or go post their full.time.or something. I come to cn forum to read what's on Cn forum. It's the biggest cycling forum around one every internet cycling fan is familiar with and anyone who wants to post on here can do it themselves. Or create a thread about your crush website rather than hijacking every thread around here by acting as a ***** messenger boy and making off topic updates about what people not registered on here on a totally unrelated forum are saying.

Surely this deserves a number Hitch?

143. Zilch - slang. Word used to mean not a lot. Often used in conjunction with other similar words, e.g. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

144. Martin Vickers - often known as just Martin or Vickers. Former poster who seems to have been involved in many a "debate" and who still seems to be a Nemesis for some existing members. See 142.

145. Thanks for proving my point: Used when ignoring a post to continue telling the entire forum that you are right and everyone else has got it wrong.

148: Pretending - Used to characterize a simple disagreement as disingenuous or trolling. As in, "You can keep pretending that..."

149: Disingenuous - ridiculous English word unspellable by most on the planet but used in The Clinic on an almost daily basis.

154. If this were a murder trial. It's not. He/she doped. They aren't going to jail, and they undeservedly actually get paid to sit and ride on their bike. Get over it.

155. Cyclists are forced to dope because they come from working class backgrounds. Nonsensical argument invoked when trying to defend only those cyclists with million dollar contracts and multi-million dollar endorsement deals.

156. Bladerunner. Pistorius. Receives attention here, as a non-cyclist, as a result of the fact that he represents the only thing worse than a doping cyclist.

157. The Clinic's twist on the Godwin Law. "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving [strikethrough]Nazis or Hitler[/strikethrough] Lance Armstrong approaches…”

I think you will find that coal miners in GB are not restricted to northern england and very much class themselves are working class. And proud of it. Point lost whatever it was you were trying to get across.

Yes, you've irked me with that comment..

Blackcat doesn't seem to very knowledgable about the reality of the UK. He seems to have garnered all his knowledge from watching Chariots of Fire and Billy Elliott. Maybe he should broaden his horizons with Trainspotting and Downton Abbey.

Last I heard, they were actually accepting coal imports in Newcastle.

So allow me to irk further. What is the point of coal miners are in England if there isn't any coal in Newcastle?

:confused:

159. Obfuscation - confusing. Why use a simple word when you can obfuscate and use a complicated one. See disingenuous
