sitting at some lights on the way home (the junction at clapham north), minding me own business waiting for em to change and all of a sudden SMACK! no not a car, some little scrote threw a rock at my head :w00t: nearly knocked me out. looked to the direction it came from, some kid, about 10, standing round the corner of some council flats. made a silly noise, something like hello, and i was off! chased him round into the flats (full leathers and boots ain’t the best running gear), then i thought about me bike. jumped back on and thought i’d do a patrol bumped into em round the corner and they ran so i chased em back into the flats. bit of benny hill then they legged it through a gate, back across the junction and off. was gonna pursue but thought better of it. they should be glad i didn’t too.
can’t believe this. as if rogue cars and the rest weren’t enough. really disappointing. that’s all i can say. angry obviously but just gutted people are going round doing this sort of shyite to each other.
keep your eyes peeled guys. especially round that area. hate to think how it would’ve ended if i’d have been moving
yeah have done. not that hopeful but you never know. it’s pretty hardcore so hopefully they’ll take it seriously. it’s a £320 lid :crying: it’s only a small mark (bro reckons it was from a catapult) but it’s gone through the outer casing to the rougher material below. not happy
got a mate that lives in the area. spoke to him tonight and apparently that estate is where that kid billy cox was murdered (shot) last year. big gang presence apparently. 244 reported assaults last year. spose i’m lucky really as he said there’s a lot of airgun offences in the area. judging by the mark it wasn’t a pellet though. too scattered. police are informed but it sounds like another statistic to me. fingers crossed mind. reckon i could claim the lid on house insurance? :Whistling:
What do you expect, Clapham North’s a DIVE. S’where all the murders happened last year… Clapham Old Town was up in arms cos it played havoc with their property prices don’t ya know.
I was cycling through Catford a couple of years ago, and not 1 but 2 blocks of flats were having EGG wars… but as I went past, BOTH flats decided a moving target was more of a challenge… I like to see myself as a source of good in their lives… invigorating their urge to improve themselves… raise themselves to the new and tougher challenge… least that’s how I felt til 3 of the sods got their aim in…
Now that sounds like a new advert for SAGA:D I can just imagine a Sky Sports doubleheader… WWE SMACKDOWN, followed by Battle Royale, this week featuring the SAGA-LOUTS vs CHAV SCUM …but this stuff really p155es me off - at the risk of running out the office and buying a copy of The Daily Mail, I have to ask just what the hell is going on these days…!!!:crazy:
I had a similar thing happen to me although I was going along at about 30 when some scrout threw a store which bounced off of my visor, I was lucky it was one of the days it was down! I dread to think what could have happened if I had left it up…
bumped into em round the corner and they ran so i chased em back into the flats. bit of benny hill then they legged it through a gate, back across the junction and off. was gonna pursue but thought better of it. they should be glad i didn’t too.
