Elf:
You know exactly what I mean.... The manner and tone they use towards other people. There is a major difference thinking someone is a tool and telling them so from behind a forum log in.
he is right many folk address people on here in a manner they would not in the real world. many of us would just walk away if they did many would get cross. On here you lack the ability to walk away and have to endure/ignore them or get cross
Thats not aimed at you elfin as you would say it to people's faces... I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing in you case 😉
See, if you can't handle verbal jousting without resorting to fisticuffs, then you lack sufficient self-control. So someone on a forum is a dick, so what? So someone in 'real life' is a dick, equally so what? Unless someone is a real physical threat or needs sorting out so's they don't hurt someone, there ain't no need for real violence.
In my (far too extensive) experience, people who bang on about 'lamping someone' are invariably not at all likely to actually carry out their threats. It's just waffle, designed to try to make them look all big and tough, when in reality they're probbly quite insecure and feel somewhat inadequate.
Because someone who is actually likely to lamp someone probbly won't talk about it, they'll just do it.
elf, if someone is a dick i'd lamp them, forum or not 🙂
I just wish you'd use appropriate capitals in the right places... 😉
Elf: Just got in. Think I might collect your stuff on Weds evening, and force you to meet us at Croydon or Guildford on Fri morning. Makes more sense.
Thread hijack I know. Sorry Ton; no slice of pie thanks 8)
No that does not in any way make any sense at all, Bully. 😐
its amazing that somebody would consider resorting to violence over something written on a cycling forum.
these people need professional help before somebody gets hurt.
(sigh)....
To get to North London at 8am from Tonbridge is going to be a frickin' nightmare. If I collect all your equipment and your bike on Wednesday after school, I can pre-load the van so that we don't have to faff about; you can just get a train to East Croydon, I'll collect you there, we go to Guildford, collect someone else and drive off into the sunset. Logistically far easier. Capiche?
Time to bow out I feel.
Elf, you really do not do yourself any favours at all do you..
not yet dont leave him ion the 090's overnoght have heart goad him a bit more he needs his wundred
FWIW Ton, you have always come across to me as a pretty normal, decent bloke and one who easily passes the 'would I like to have a pint with him' test.
There are some very prissy pseudo-intellectuals on here who seem a quite detached from the real world and I agree with what paulosoxo said early on in the piece.
Chin up big fella 😉
Oh yeah sweet Bully, sweet. That's fine. East Croydon is on the Overground change at Shadwell-bosh!
It was the Guildford bit that got me. Cos that's miles away!
You dropping me back 'ome Sunday night though, yeah?
Time to bow out I feel.
Probbly for the best.
Elf, you really do not do yourself any favours at all do you..
Sez someone who talks about lamping someone just for [i]saying[/i] sumat that they don't agree with. 🙄
[i]Urr don't say something I don't like or I'll thump yer uurrr...[/i]
Jeeze. Ave a word with yerself....
Dammit, Woody, that's what I was going to say! 🙂
Elf, if you behave in real life anything like you do on here then I should think you have a very eventful life.
I suspect that is not the case though is it?

Never met me, have you? Still, don't let me stop you basing your judgement on ignorance... 😉
Not had the misfortune no. Rather like to keep it that way too.
Toodle pip keyboard hero......
Elf; yes, of course...
For the record, and despite his antagonistic nature on the forum, the Elf is (it would appear) not so different from Ton regarding his warm nature and generosity...
The trouble will him is that he's actually a shitload more intelligent than folk give him credit for.
Don't tell him though - he'll be insufferable...

Your loss, sweetcheeks! 8)

Mr T's Craziest Fools!
He's a man who don't take no nonsense...
ah, buffing up the cannondale? noice 🙂
Gonna be well buff Kev.
Proper PITA though. Right old faff. Kinda therapeutic though, helps to unwind after being on here arguing with folk. 🙂
Ah Mr T is proper funny;
You can tell it's Finland, cos nobody's outside
😆
I suspect things might be a tad different if I were 6'4", and a proper big scary looking bastard.
Well - you'd probably not suffer from Small Man Syndrome for a start.
If anyone wants I'll go dish some fist pie out to Ton....
just to reiterate, there will be no more fist pie jokes or referances from me, seeing as some people take it the wrong way.
but now when i read your posts i'll be imagining you (as in the photo holding the baby) holding a fishpie, maybe a wonky chefs hat for good measure.
What a sad sad little thread.
Dez, i was feeling sad when i started it.
nowt wrong with that mate is there?
If someone is going to get a 'Lamp'
What bulb for a good lamp? 100w 60w Energy saver?
Dez, it's WELL FUNNY mate! 🙂
I mean:
The trouble will him is that he's actually a shitload more intelligent than folk give him credit for.
Ggmmmmpppphhhhhhhrrrggghhshhhsppphhh!!!!! LOLZ!!
Don't tell him though - he'll be insufferable...
That implies he can STOP being insufferable.....! 😈 
Notice you posted that picture of yourself showing some cheeky nip ton - saucy! For what it's worth, ton and I are from the same part of the world - I've drunk in the same pubs, hung out with the same people and wrestled in the same black underpanties (the bit about the underpanties wasnt true though), The thing is, round here, for mine and tons generation, giving somebody a bit of fist pie or a good shoeing isnt that big a deal, or at least talking about it isnt. It's a load of old cock really, but it's certainly not worth getting wound up about, and especially not on an internet forum.
Ton - its fairly obvious to me you are joking with these things, forget about the losers and get on with enjoying life. It only matters if you value their opinion and lets face it there are a few on here that arent worth bothering yourself about.
[i]Dez, i was feeling sad when i started it.
nowt wrong with that mate is there?[/i]
It's the responses as much, if not more, than the OP. Who gives a toss what these freaks think of you?
😥
I not a freak. You bastard.
My apologies for going off tengentially for a moment, I CBA to read the whole thread, but don't have any issues with the OP, I've noticed periodic threats of violence as a way of solving things, but it doesn't really affect me. I don't recall any specific threats.
However... is your name Ton, as in a metric ton, or as in 'Tone', short for Tony?
I hate these names that can be pronounced various ways. Mine is my initials, N.J.E.E, not En-Jee as most people say.
Anyway, as you were.
It's been a long time since I felt so saddened by a thread on an internet forum.
I've had the priviledge of meeting Ton. I genuinely like the guy.
What I really don't understand is the motivation of those who feel they need to wade-in and criticise another for failure to meet the entry requirements for their own circle of friends. Wouldn't it be a boring place if we were all fitted the same stereotype.
bullheart:
I not a freak. You bastard.
You're practically a minotaur, buddy.
(sorry to throw this on this thread but didnt want to start a new thread just to mention it)
bullheart.... i think i read something about you wanting a corporate sponsor for your charityness.... considering you have the heart of a bull have you tried redbull? cant cause too much harm throwing them an email on the off-chance?
