If a complete stranger’s first question to me was to ask where I was from the word ‘friendly’ would not be top of my list.
Is n't life a struggle?Did you run out of vouchers for charm school?
One thing I can never be accused of is having charm. [emoji23]
Live need not be a struggle I am perfectly happy with life and follow some basic rules; simply ignore those that annoy you and tell them to go forth and multiply if they persist.

Is that the usual opening gambit? Any idea why? I should not be surprised to be asked how fast I ride, and how many miles I have done Plus One for taking control of the conversation
Only on this thread it appears, and if its not the first question then the it's the sixth. However may I take this opportunity to ask, do you really cycle on a fixed wheel with 49" gear? And do you think mumbojumbo watches Derren Brown at all?

Yes I really do ride a 49" fixed, at 100 rpm I reach 15 mph, that is plenty, longest day so far 82 km Rode my geared cycle today
The second question, I do not understand, sorry
