Because in heavy traffic the cyclist will always come out ahead. What's the point of putting a rider's life at risk to squeeze past him only to be passed by him again two seconds later at the next red light? I would really like to know.

You're throwing in conditions now.  Granted, in heavy traffic, where there are small gaps between sets of lights, there's no need for a car to overtake the cyclist.  But only in this specific instance.

I believe it is. They usually say it when they mean "Well this part is true but this other part is not." Just gets on my wick because it throws me off and I'm too busy thinking about the contradiction to listen to what they're saying.

For me its the lack of T's. Workmate keeps going on about this "planner"(planter) that he build over the "winner" (winter)
probably going to have niney (90) flowers in it.

Which is true and I agree with mostly but in belfast that's frequently a struggle.

Not to be awkward or anything, but why would you want to watch a game "in peace" by going to the pub? Is it not part of the experience to have other people shouting and roaring with you at the screen?
