“chatty - this isnt a mutual appreciation society, or a place where people of the same mind congregate.
This is a comments board, which is open to the public to use.
So, anyone can pass comment!”

“I don't think anyone should pass comment on this accident unless you have been in the unfortunate situation to have experienced it either as the rider or the family and I have. Hicks Gate roundabout is a nightmare for bikes even at low speed. My thoughts and prayers go to the rider and the family - I know exactly what you are going through - a living nightmare.”

“"Wholetime Timewaster, Bristol"
Full marks for picking the most appropriate name on the site.
" they can look themself in the mirror with pride. I bet you can't do the same. Tom, Whitchurch "
Obviously not, eh, 'Timewaster'?”
