 Posted: 12:03 - 17 Nov 2004  Post subject: a few questions for you U.K. people. |
 |
|
ok I have come to the point where I need to ask a few questions that will possibly seem odd. Firstly I keep hearing of people having their bike stollen, pushed over, scratched and damaged and need to ask where the owners keep their bikes? do you have garrages in England or a backyard? What do the terms CHAV and PEDBOI mean? what is the difference between a MOPED and a SCOOTER? and what is it like to own a bike and live in england? I hear the weather is awful

Some parts of the UK are obviously worse than others, so people often have problems when it comes to vandalism and their bikes. Some people dont have space to store their bike so its often left out on the street.
To find out what a Chav is, check www.chavscum.co.uk.
A ped boy is simply a Chav who rides a scooter without regard for their own, or other road users' health. They'd claim it has an after market "power band" and the such. 
A moped is often a geared 50cc, whereas a Scooter is just a rev and go.
Weather isnt always awful, only 99% of the year.

Moped & Scooter are the same really.
But you cant exactly call a geared 50 a scooter.

England is great, We got Electric in 1993, Shortly followed by phonelines in 1995.
Weather isnt that bad here, We just get a bit of everything ranging from sub zero winters to 30+degrees summers, It rains alot though.
If there was one word that summed up the UK it would be 'Tax'

Don't know a hell of a lot about England, except there is a lot of brick buildings and they make great beer (Ale, not lager).  In Scotland you get great beer too and more stone buildings. Scotland is part of the UK, but isn't in England. My one word to sum up the UK would be 'Bitter' take it any way you like.  I park in my front garden, which is really just a path and pink chips. A few of my mates have garages, the lucky gits. I can't take the bike round the back of the house as there is nowhere to turn it. I doubt my neighbour would appreciate me ripping up the lawn. Ideally I want to move to a 4 bedroom detached house with a double garage. Chances of that happening are 0. <sigh> |

For some strange reason we stopped sending all our thieving scum to your lovely isle and now keep them here.

mines out on the street, chained to a lampost with a disc lock and cover on it. But the lampost is directly by my bedroom window and I'm only on the 1st floor. I could probably tie a bit of string to the bike and the other end to my toe when I'm asleep, I'm quite close to it 
Plus I convinced the enighbours to keep an eye out  |

You think England is tough? Look what we have in Northern Ireland:
| Quote: | 3. spide
spides...a plague upon man. Native to "norn iron" (n.ireland), they speak a corrupted form of english. Kitted out in garish shellsuits, huge medallions and baseball caps, these skinheaded monstrosities venture from their estates in packs to descend upon civilisation, ready to "bate thaw sheet outta wenkers." Intoxicated by a mixture of "wheet 'lightnin" cider and trance anthems, they hit dangerous speeds in their souped-up red corsas before comitting minor crimes. They speak a language incomprehensible to normal humans;for example "e waant a makkie dees burger wi' nay shay" or,in english; "i want a macdonalds burger with no relish please." It is paradigmatic of all steeks to have mindlessly violent sectarian opinions; the troubles in n. Ireland were caused by spides, and their estates are daubed with paramilitary propaganda such as "red hand commandos" or "up the provos".English hip-hop hoods think they are tough, but where i'm from, the spides eat Ali G wannabes for breakfast and wash it down with a pint of gravel. beware.
an archetypal spide's day consists of;
1. Get up. Swear.
2. breakfast; beans in a cup+ cider.
3. Don't go to work/school. Hang out "with tha lads"
4. watch the footy.
5. Evening at last. Gather your posse and find a student/fruit/hippie/o.a.p and "bate tha fock" out of them
6. One the crime spree is over, get in souped up corsa , turn on dance music and spit out the window.
7. go home.
