It stinks of self fulfilling prophecies in here.

Agree

y’know’ Like’ I mean there’s a lot of English teachers’ innit!

Seems OK to me but I don’t bother with political threads or threads over a couple of pages.

You rang? Old and claiming my pension.

Oh, I don’t know ………

I like it! Often good advice on random subjects and mostly good banter. It’s generally easy to avoid the bitchy threads by their titles or authors.

I suggest Specialized The Captains for tedious drivelling and abuse.

becoming? surely that’s what a forum is

What would Jesus write?

I like this forum, I discovered that “Baby Womble” is a breed of dog.

I discovered Luminous lights on this website – for that alone, I am grateful 😉

more and more like a old peoples home every day. same conversations too.

Becoming?

Na! it’s been like this for the last few years, you’re just a little more sensitive now and reading into it more.

Trick is to not GAS about others opinions, not to ask questions and expect serious answers and learn to filter through all the crap and find the one post you chose to agree with.

Anyone who struggles to get it, should learn to accept the predicted behaviour of those few, whom have personal issues with certain others and ignore it.

The weather’s taken a turn for the worst.

Less so I’d say! Apart from my own engaging/hilarious input of course.

Hah you wanna try the UKClimbing forum. This is like playschool compared to that.

You would think half the worlds subject matter experts are on there. Its enough to make a person stop visiting the site alltogether.

Where are my slippers?

I remember when it were all fields..

I went over there once and asked a perfectly reasonably question about where I could buy some bolts and what sort of drill to use to make a route a bit more manageable for mere mortals and they were most rude in response.

close the door on your way out

Yup. Try starting a thread there asking how to set up a top rope because you want to take a stag group up to the Roaches. Top roping usually gets them going.

can someone chew my beef, it’s getting to be far too much effort to be bothered…

Apart from my own engaging/hilarious input of course.

It’s the only reason I come here.

Well, that and the free mints.

Haha nice one, I can why on that one though! Dont worry im not gonna have a go, I hate sport climbing anyway 🙂

yep, top-roping and students are good for a ‘healthy debate’

this forum is the bane of my life

im only here for the sex 🙂

I’ve never known a place with so many ill informed, opinonated, misguided, middle aged, fat, slow and ugly toss pots.

I feel right at home! 😆

Hi, you must be new to the Internet.

You put a group of people together with ostensibly nothing in common other than a shared interest, you’re going to get friction. That’s not a failing of STW, that’s a feature of people.

Best best is not to rise to the bait; the male hens identify themselves fairly readily.

As an aside, I use a BBS that predates the world wide web. (Gratuitous plug, http://www.mono.org, tell ’em I sent you.) Happens there sometimes too. It’s like being in a pub full of crotchetty old regulars, it’s the most comfortable place in the world but you’ve got to roll with the punches.

I rather like STW for just that reason.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read today, well done. (-:

Couldn’t agree more. Love it here. Mine’s a pint of Broadside, by the way.

but you’ve got to roll with the punches.

aren’t they more like air kisses ??

I like the pictures of nuclear war victims.

Discuss.

I don’t believe discussion is possible on forums, most people just talk at each other rather than to each other. It’s like being at work.

I blame TJ.

Where do i get the free mints?

Why not change the tempo and start a new dance?
