What kind of liquid is "loose chippings"?

What kind of liquid is "loose chippings"?

I think we call it "crushed ice."

Mr Tomlinson said: "Driving through Lewis, the occupant of a pickup truck threw a full coke bottle at the cyclists, deliberately aiming it at them so as to try and injure them.

"Who needs to encounter these sorts of people when cycling? Whatever the cause or whoever the person is?"

He added: "One thing for certain is that it's not as cycle friendly as continental Europe.

Since being diagnosed with advanced metastatic breast cancer, Mrs Tomlinson has become the only cancer patient to complete a full Ironman triathlon and the first person to run a marathon while on chemotherapy.

WOW... that is pretty amazing... GO GURL!!! :D :beer:

These cagers must be the types who listen to shock jock radio.

Thanks genec. I had no idea what that was. Actually I wouldn't mind being sprayed by a few loose chippings this time of year. Especially if one itty bitty chipping made it's way slowly down my back along my spine. The Coke bottle is bad, but I don't know if she could handle the thought of a truck bomb.

I think 'loose chippings' refers to the rock used on 'chip & seal' or 'chip seal' road surfaces.

In other words, the b*****d was trying to spray them with gravel.

I'm pretty sure trying to injure or kill someone with terminal cancer while they are raising money for charity earns you a reserved seat in hell.

And that is why I'm misanthropic.
If she can fight through cancer she won't be deterred by some stupid redneck.

[Flamingmb]

does anyone else hear that? it sounds like an assault charge.........

[nelson249]

It totally enrages me to see some damned cretin who has probably never done anything to improve anyone's life deliberately assaulting someone trying to make a difference not just for herself but for everyone. He probably tears the wings off flies and drowns kittens too. :mad:

It seems like these bottle assualts are becoming more common. I just had a thread about me getting struck with a full pop bottle last weekend.

*******s!

Having lost both parents to cancer and having two sisters who have made it through breast cancer I applaud the effort and courage or Jane!

Hope the Lewis PD finds the b(*(^d and charges him with a felony.
