I see you can now download a game called 'Hit the Cyclist' from

www.office-humour.co.uk

Call me hypersensitive, but I didn't try it.

Seems to be a popular sport in this country. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23432279-details/Baroness+bicycle+basher/article.do Grannies all over the country are playing it and I nearly covered someone in coffee and beans at breakfast this morning for saying they want to hit every cyclist they see.

I was going to try it, but it doesn't seem to work! Poetry, anyone?

.

I was sent "hit the cyclist - part1 - mole surfing" as an email attachment by a friend of mine, (although this game seems to have originated on a site called "Trendz.co.uk" so it may not be the same thing), Its very silly and not what you might think. In brief, a big bloke on a mountain bike cycles off a cliff, you try to help fly by hitting him with a baseball bat, If he lands on a mole hill he can start mole surfing! (little moles pop up and bounce him even further along) The aim is to get your cyclist to fly and mole surf for the maximum possible distance. If you fail to hit the cyclist he still throws himself and his bike off the cliff without your help. Its all very silly, not at all offensive, and not really what you might imagine from the name. Try it, you might even like it, I've got my cyclist to fly more than 1Km!

Surprised she didn't get done for assault! I can well understand her response but it isn't her place to serve punishment for red light jumping. I have often wished I had a stick to place in the front wheel of some inconsiderate b*****ds that are running down pedestrians!

Finally managed to get it to work from a different site, and it's really addictive. I got 1249 m once! You just have to love the way he lands when you don't hit him very far!!
