    Recently I was looking ont interweb for some nice yellow socks, just plain yellow sort of mid length bike socks that you can buy all sorts designs of today… but could I find any; NO! You can buy a few with designs on them, or any number of Hi-Viz coloured sock in plain colour. But dear reader Hi-Viz isn’t yellow is it. I have an old yellow ONCE jersey that I was trying to get some new kit to go with. Summer jerseys get so little use in this country (a couple of times a summer a piece – I have a few) that they survice indefinitely. The jersey is yellow, that’s yellow, a colour between orange and green on the spectrum, not a fluorescent colour with hints of green and UV. So many manufacturers seem to think that if they have to offer some colours, black, blue, red, orange get catered for, but they think that Hi-Viz will fill the spot because, you know, we cyclists need that sort of thing. And why bother to make a Hi-Viz product and a yellow product. Bring back yellow, Y.E.L.L.O.W. Yellow!

    Oooh, what are you going to do – stalk me like you did SP59 and then lose your shit and whine to the admins to ban me as soon as I say something controversial? That was pretty narrow-minded, and very pathetic. You want another example? The strava thread: the gimpy way you use strava and expect others to use it too. Can’t possibly countenance that people do things differently for good reasons. SP59 is around somewhere, still contributing more to this place than you ever will. ‘People like’? You mean people who actually know their way round a bike, don’t enter sportives because they’re too pussy to actually try racing, and don’t start threads about socks to go with a retro jersey. Yeah, I know which gang I’d rather be in. You added literally nothing to the Trump thread. If you’d actually read my posts you’d see that I didn’t deny man-made climate change, probably got lots wrong and was ok about admitting it – you know, like normal people do in an internet debate. I learned quite a bit into the bargain. Not like you though. You read the Graun headlines to know what to think and then spew sub-sixth form common room bile, with no substance, at people you think don’t share your narrow view of the world. You’re a bitter little twerp who’s probably thinking of ways to have me banned right now.

    Ha, your reply is so full of assumptions and fallacies it’s no Grey Poupon. Python got himself binned, I didn’t do a thing. As for the Strava thread “Can’t possibly countenance…” did you even read what I wrote? You are clearly concocting some fantasy of me because I don’t live in a box and I don’t read The Guardian; but clearly you are thinking of me; how sweet.

    Seriously. You two are right pair of muppets and deserve to be insulted personally. Your comments on the ‘other thread’ are ignorant and pernicious.  Yeah, Fuck You.

    Presumably I’m the other one to make up the two? Although, you’ve fallen out with so many on here with your petulance and weird narrow-mindedness it could apply to quite a few others. I think you said you were 40 on another thread. Grow up, you daft tit.

    The only people I have fallen out with on this forum are the likes of Superpython. Whereabouts is he these days? Narrow-minded, perhaps you can point me to an example? I seem to see that you and your conspiracy buddy are in the minority on the other thread, perhaps you are with the 3% of scientists who don’t think AGW is a thing, or are in the Koch Brothers pockets. Your bank handers are weaker than Nick Kyrgios. DonSimon is a more interesting opponent. Tomorrow you will be gone, like Halloween Candy.

    Fellas, please. Socks, for crying out loud!

    Quite and not the height, just the colour!
