And the name of this miraculous app, for the benefit of the court?
Again I remind you that you are under oath……..
Twatometer Pro. Superb software.

The Pro version even has an option to post the photos to your social media accounts with a suitably scathing comment.
All you have to do is name the miscreant (Gimp in lycra, in this case) and it does the rest.

In the absence of witnesses and a complainant, I think the case should be dropped. The defendant be compensated for the distress caused and nominated for some sort of award

Today might well be the day that your case is destroyed.

If not, it may be tomorrow if I can’t be arsed today.

Either way, it’s happening.

You've been overruled by the forum's jury, Judge Judy.

Difference being my case is based on the evidence that you have presented which is, frankly, laughable and about to be dismantled.

It is not too late to seek an out of court settlement and I would strongly urge that you consider this, not least to avoid significant public humiliation.

The facts are very simple.... a cyclist attempted to ram his way through a group of pedestrians.
He had no room to do so and he made no effort to mitigate the risk to those more vulnerable than himself by slowing down.

All joking aside.... had that been a child, elderly person or pram (all of which are regularly seen on the trail) then he could have injured someone.
As it was, all I suffered was a bit of aching in the shoulder for a day or two. I sincerely hope he suffered worse.

…..digging the hole even deeper……….

Panicky rhetoric is no defence against facts. Especially when you have made statements of fact.

Fact.

Is that a pn opening gambit for claiming ‘diminished responsibility’ as a defence?
The only thing that diminished was the prat on the racer as he exited stage left.

And he showed no responsibility.

As foreman of the jury I have reviewed all evidence & find the cyclist guilty of all offences in this case, we the jury also find the cyclist guilty of fly tipping, abandoning a bike in a secluded place, being indecently attired, not displaying lights, not sounding a warning of his impending stupidity, frightening wildlife & generally being a twat.

Seems fair, but wait to hear what Inspector Clouseau has to say....
