    I know there's a lot of self-importance on here, but who is really the most important person?

    Me, I'm just a humble engineer with humble opinions. You?

    Government advisor on defence?
    Senior health professional?
    Leading academic?
    Binman?
    God/other deity?

    Let's start a thread to find the most impotent user! 🙂

    Anyone really important probably won't say.

    Are we talking about most important from a corporate bollocks 'man at the top' importance (and we all know these people really aren't *that* important), or importance based on control/power?

    It's still not me either way. Another humble engineer.

    Plenty of people on here own their own company from comments I've read in the past and images of cars (and bikes obviously) gives indication of a few quid in the bank.

    Are we talking net worth in £s or how many people answer to you?

    My position menas that cops, private security and council workers answer to me but it's not a very senior position really, just one of statutory coordination to make sure everyone is playing nicely with each other.

    IMHO, I'd say anyone who saves lives or actually makes the fabric of society move smoothly to benefit other people are the most important like nurses or the RAF guys airlifting people out of the floods.

    (that should put the cat amoung the pigeons for all the public sector bashers out there!)

    Well ST off here is ex Head of IMBA or something and is in charge of our local trail building heading up volunters, contractors, finance and dealing with the FC n'that.

    I think that makes him 1 rung below Allah.

    We need some criteria. To me, importance can only be judged on how that person is helping their fellow human being. I know there have been some examples recently of real altruistic behaviour, but 1 individual really stands out for all they have done to get newcomers into our sport.

    I'm not normally one to gush, but it is people like this that do more for mountain biking than any frame designer, magazine editor or bike shop owner ever could.

    hmm interesting question – how do you define important?
    if your house is burning down/ being flooded then I guess the people that come and rescue you, give you cups of tea, new clothing and a shoulder to cry on are the most important.

    If based on how much £££ you have to spend on meals out and shiny cars/bikes then I lose.
    If it's importance based on being the only person where I live who can make a drop dead gorgeous risotto then I win.

    That Madoff guy was very important and look what happened to him…

    all very subjective – If you mentioned status would that make it any clearer?

    How do you define importance?

    To me it would be the people with the most effect on others lives – either a small effect for a lot of people or a big effect for a few people.

    Improving others lives is the measure.

    so it could be some of the company managers and stuff we have on here but I would go for the various Drs, Drac, Crikey and Esselgruntfuttock

    If I were genuinely important I wouldn't have time to be on a biking website during the working day.

    In fact I don't anyway, I should get back to work.

    While we're at it, why not put everyone in a "class" of importance, e.g.

    Royalty (repack)
    Aristocrats (poddy)
    Middle class (stoner)
    Proles (me)
    Criminals (the padded one)

    Or maybe that sums-up all that is wrong with British society? 🙂

    It should go on middle-classness (the working class don't care and the upper class consider bigging themselves up as gauche), with seperate categories for underachievers & those who need to prove themselves online, and the insecure in traditionally "prestigious" jobs, like lawyers.

    Ooooh! Let me see:

    happy
    declared clear!
    unaware of hormones
    without a moral compass
    cold at night
    alone with no one to smell our farts
    calm
    always leaving the toilet seat up
    (still, who gives a $h1t – we'd leave it down and take our chances 😆 )
    allowed to watch football
    drinking way too much
    there would be no HANDBRAKE
    a man with the remote control

    And I should have mentioned

    without us you would be

    scratching yourselves in inappropriate places
    unconcerned if the cat stayed out all night
    totally unconcerned if we stayed out all night
    in a house with a mountain bike magazine rack in the bogs
    building massive towers from alumimium beer cans
    unconcerned about floaters
