    I bet those are not carbon frames. With all those Spar discounts most of us Garda are massive, but then again we do love a curry.

    @Disky- if you are going to troll you could at least be subtle and try to make it entertaining.

    Now to bring it back on topic, yes. I (as always) am for cake. Particularly choccie fudge, lemon drizzle or that choc & bananna thing that they have in the cafe in Laragh. I may even take a detour on the WW200 to laragh for that cake. I mean it will probably be the only day of the year where you dont have to queue in the cafe, as the rest of the cyclists will be 15km down the road in Rathdrum.

    Nietzchiean (argh, pick an easier to spell user name!) and I were just saying, rather I said to him, that a short diversion into Laragh on the W200 by the slow group for some tea and cake might not be a bad idea. We will have just conquered most of the climbs so a celebration would be in order.

    Seems to have entertained quite a few people. Anyway, I think the point has been proved. Bicycles should not be taxed or insured.

    Would you believe it, PC O'Reilly was just after a two month stint with the bicycle corps. Imagine the state of him before..........

    I have noticed a lot more of this recently, especially on after hours: people developing "boards personalities" in an attempt to rile or entertain. It's really annoying! Especially now that it is infiltrating the cycling forum. Next we will get some kind of Ross O'Carroll Kelly yob saying we are "loike all povs for roiding around on boikes!".

    It's not funny!

    They should pay insurance at least.

    With the amount of money spent by people on this forum it's getting to the stage where they've nothing else to spend their money on.

    I'm sure once Insurance Companies realise this they could introduce various different policies and then the poor little Insurance Companies/Brokers might be able to make a bit of money!

    Somewhat ironic that someone would come on to a cycling forum and back pedal so furiously - must be on a fixie!

    On the money there, mate. Anything to prove that you are above the run of the mill plodder. Mate "I don't ride a bike, I'm a cyclist".

    Ah I think you are missing the point. Most of the people on here have cycled and met up with other posters, so they tend to talk the way they would in the real world, away from the internet.

    Thanks for showing me the proper way to rebel, posting like a fool on the internet. Stick it to the man Disky! I bet you won't even pay that broadband bill, you are so rebellious!

    Don't mind bikes - I can't for the day we see "Garda Mor-iar-i-ty" on these:

    it was pretty cool watching the gendarmes in Paris zipping around on them.

    Our Guards should be alright at least if the fall they'll have plenty of padding!

    Give me a break. Traffic Blues only started in RTE last week. I have been on a diet of Road Wars togeather with cops, cars and criminals for the past few years.

    I need a least a few weeks to pick up the Garda jive. But worry not, by the end of the series, everyone will be referred to as a "perp" or "possible perp" who may or may not have "priors".

    Rebel?? Look at those afterhours idiots who went out to vote today. They are on their latest "vendetta", hating anyone who has not voted. Amazing, they are the people who voted in a bunch of corrupt scum and then complain when they get had.

    Their opinions switch with the wind.

    there's another one just gone in the oven.

    By the way for anyone who is interested - you made need to get in early to get these before the sell out.

    I've ordered two - one for the front and one for the back.

    I was at the Airport the other week, two Garda colleagues came by on one of those segways. The whole place was in fits of laughter watching these two idiots cruising around.

    Ah guys -- the OP has not chosen to be in the Garda, The Garda has chosen to hire OP ... that's the problem.

    Have any of you in the cycling Forum tried hack into OP's Internet? Will you stop now guys! Come on, leave him alone now!
