Fantasist. How are you enjoying your intro to communism?
It's great thanks for asking. No two-hour commutes, no £50/week on petrol, no £100/month on parking, spending loads more time with the wife and kids..Roll on the NWO
Further to my comments previously about a local dealership trying to compel its workforce to work, but pretend not to work, while furloughed, I have since discovered they sacked a friend because they couldn't "afford to keep him on" during lockdown, only to "rehire" him but are paying him him in petrol. He's young and concerned about not finding another job, which being Cornwall, is understandable.
This is a company who have millions in the bank, and a pretty sizeable portfolio in rental properties, so are hardly being brought to brink by a lull of three months.
Those are the actions of knobs, in my opinion.

Saw an add whilst trolling through Amazon which showed a plastic thingy which women can use to do No1s whilst still in bed. Not sure if there is a medical name for these?
It looked like a Covid 19 face mask but with a foot long integral tube coming out the front of it.(think elephants trunk)
I thought that it would be great for drinking beer at the local until the social distancing is fully lifted!.
The problem is getting one which doesn't smell like the person who used it last, had bad breath!

Male & female versions would be called a catheter - but not sure Amazon would sell those.....A SheWee more likely.

Health economists SQW were commissioned to calculate how much it saves the NHS when someone takes up cycling (from health/pollution gains).
In 2020 that figure is £630/year.
Only c5% of UK adults ride once a week or more. If we double that, the NHS would save nearly £2bn.
I hope it's more than that as deaths and accidents involving cyclists cost more. Health economists SQW were commissioned to calculate how much it saves the NHS when someone takes up cycling (from health/pollution gains).

Cycling. Ther persuit of staring at another mans lycra clad sweaty ass for hours on end, trying to cause an accident one cannot be held accountable for.
Oh, and by the way, theres enough oil based product in that lycra to power my v8 for months.
You really are not saving the world. just wasting heartbeats.

I cycle, I hate it. But doing so means I can enjoy the finer things in life. Oh, and by the way, theres enough oil based product in that lycra to power my v8 for months.

BTW, If you're going to have a V8 get a decent one.

How wonderful and original; why has noone brought up cycling before in this thread?Oh, and by the way, theres enough oil based product in that lycra to power my v8 for months.

Interested to know which V8 can be run for months on a couple of litres of petroleum though!

One that's stuck at home for months due to lockdown, while all those bikes get out on the traffic-free roads Interested to know which V8 can be run for months on a couple of litres of petroleum though!

Sorry to burst that bubble. I drove it every day on the empty roads, kinda hard to MOT test from home. I guess someone has to keep all the delivery vehicles going though ,not everyone is able 'work' (or is that spend all day cycling) from home.

Wonder what it would be if they include the VAT on all the gear one buys when taking up cycling in that figure, plus wear and tear savings on the infrastructure (assuming bike journeys replace some car journeys, I'm pretty sure a bike wears the tarmac out more slowly than a 1-2-tonne car).

...but that is general taxation, not direct saving for the NHS.

Car - 1,900 deaths
Motorbike 319 deaths
Not sure how a death can cost more from one source?

Staring as another man's lycra clad seats arse is an element of your imagination/fantasy. Not cycling. Oh, and by the way, theres enough oil based product in that lycra to power my v8 for months.

Ditto having oil in your lycra? Are you confusing cyclists with your own fetishes?
I would suggest that your heartbeats are more wasted, and numerous. My RHR is 46.

Its 2020, imagine hating cyclists. I find those who do are generally fat balding boring blokes who do little to no exercise and think driving their car is classed as a 'hobby'. Getting exercise in the sun, exploring the local area, making friends, challenging yourself physically and mentally, I really cant see how anyone dislikes cycling. But ofcourse it boils back down to being a boring angry person who hates people bettering their lives.Oh, and by the way, theres enough oil based product in that lycra to power my v8 for months.
