    urc seems to have a pretty florrid imagination for revenge on
    transgressors. Is there a resident psychologist on hand?

    So far she's had her goolies cut off (!) and burnt and been buried after
    having a shovel stuck through her head. Any more suggestions? Spokes
    under the fingernails, a debate on which tyres burn best for a
    necklacing, the merits of 8 or 9 speed chains for GBH?

    Yes, does seem a bit extreme really - after all, it's not as if she
    physically attacked anyone, she was just rude. Sticks and stones may
    break my bones, but words won't hurt me much unless someone drops a case
    of dictionaries on me...

    If anything, I feel a bit sorry for her - she must have a pretty
    miserable life if yelling abuse at others is her idea of fun.

    There seems to be a bit of a recurring theme of shovels on URC this week.
    Are they available as an accessory in your local bike shop and if not,
    should they be? :-)

    Interesting question. Clearly we need a "best tyres for necklacing" thread.
    Are gnarlies better than slicks for that purpose? Would the bigger air
    chamber of the Scwalbe Big Apple make it particularly suitable? Should we
    be filling an inner tube with petrol to compensate for the limited capacity
    of the tyre? And if so, should we use Schraeder or Presta valves?

    Inquiring minds need to know!

    A dictionary, Chambers, fell on our cat the other night. She's a bit
    cautious around bioks now.

    Nasty, is this sort of dyslexia something she'll recover from?

    Well, she has attended university so her dyslexia has not been a bar to
    her education.

    What would be nice is a titanium entrenching tool/folding shovel for
    seriously off-road expeditions. Maybe with a sharpened edge so that it
    doubles as an axe..

    Thats what I'm saying here. Her life is so miserably a shovel through
    the head is the best solution to her problem. You know it makes sense.

    I'm all for forgiving people for their minor sins as we all know life
    can make you angry and depressed at the worst of times but I also
    enjoy thinking about shovels going through people's heads.

    I have to admit I stole that from a "Wizard of Id" cartoon, in which
    someone actually does do this to the hopeless Sir Rodney.

    Perhaps, but it's not up to me to make that judgement about someone I
    know nothing else about.

    I think I know what you mean - it can be cathartic to imagine bad things
    happening to people who've been unkind to us, but it's probably not
    healthy to dwell on it *too* much :-)

    You should consider that is because you superior to her in terms of

    It was a narrow road with passing places, and the driver of the car in
    which this exemplar of womanhood was the passenger had kindly pulled
    over in one to let me by.

    As I passed, the nice lady shouted something to me, most of which was
    unintelligible, but I clearly heard the last three words "...you fat
    [censored]." As I said, charming.

    On the road to Blacktoft? Blimey, I could have understood it in the
