[Closed] Are you or do you know of a 6ft plus, 38 inch waisted cyclist?

Monksie i would change your user name to avoid this flaming. I suggest 'indiangiver' 🙂

That good ole [i]stw community spirit[/i] just keeps on giving...

...almost as funny as the feeding frenzy when someone posts a link to some snide sunnies

keepin' it real eh!!

😆

Im not having someone try and discredit me over this.

I think you've managed that all by yourself.

Has he?

I have to say the one who I'm confused by is Monksie, not trying to fuel the fire.

Are these shorts still available?

Although I am thankful that we don't have to see various images of Renton wearing them asking whether they are the right size.

Bookmarked.

Inclined to agree, seems very odd to keep harassing someone over a free pair of shorts.

Whilst I would say the price is immaterial, and I'd want someone to tell me if I thought something was lost in the post, rather than just dismissing it on the basis that they were free...

I've hardly harrased someone.

This all started around two weeks ago, I admit I did offer the fiver postage before monksie had heard back from robdob. I then sent him an email asking if he had managed to post them out as I would need to arrange someone to be in for the posty.

Then I asked one question about if monskie New the pad width,Not that it mattered.

When I hadn't heard from him I sent another email actually apologising for pestering him and again just politely asked if he had managed to post them out. This was Tuesday this week and got a reply "they went in the post yesterday Steve"
Then I sent an email to say great and that I would let him know when they arrive.

By Thursday when they hadn't arrived I was a bit concerned they had been lost in the post so sent another email saying as such.

So I found it a bit strange that monksie hadn't replied to emails as quick as he had previously.

Then just out of curiosity I had a look on eBay and noticed a pair exactly the same in the same size and also the same location as monskie.

He also hasn't been replying to robdob either.

So whilst I appreciate they were going to be a free pair of shorts surely a bit of honesty on monksie part to say he had changed his mind and had put them on ebay rather than donating them would of been better than his rant on here calling me a ****

Bib-dib-gate, featuring rob-dob.

If only renton was call dibdab 🙁

Are you familiar with the advice concerning what one should do when one finds oneself holding a spade whilst standing in a hole of one's own making?

Is that aimed at me IHN

Then I asked one question about if monskie New the pad width,Not that it mattered.

Is this something people measure?

[i]Is that aimed at me IHN [/i]

Yip.

Please explain how I have dug myself a hole then ?

Ian munro. The Shorts in question come in three different pad widths and I was just wondering which it had fitted.

Please explain how I have dug myself a hole then ?

How do you think? Let it go!

Cant see why Renton is getting a hard time here, he may have been keen with the emails sure, but to tell someone that the parcel is in the post whilst you put it on ebay is off. To then come on here name calling is double off.

Monksie sounds like a complete ****!!

[i]Monksie sounds like a complete ****!![/i]

Making that kind of statement based on some mild interweb communications confusion is triple off.

IHN it's the principal now mate.

I don't want someone coming on here trying to discredit my by lying and then calling me a ****

That's just not on.

So the OP had a change of mind and why does he need to get the level of ire and abuse his way?

If I had won a competition at work for £100 spend and I couldn't use the item given I'd give them away if not sold but I'd want [b]something[/b] from the deal. I'd want a charity donation. To expect a RRP £100 scott-free then kick off - why didn't the people who want the item at least offer something? Or something to charity? When I was 'given' a tent from a ebay transaction I gave a donation to Samaritans. When someone gave me a Bang and Olufsen tv I gave him wine. It wasn't asked for - I did it.

As with anything the OP can change his mind. If you'd have sweetened it with a charitable act I imagine he'd have felt vindicated in his own act.

Robdob- you aren't 6ft. I'm sure you aint!

I haven't met monksie or renton or robdob. I did however have a transaction with monksie that is worth sharing to show his integrity. I sold him a cheap new seatpost (£13) in February, he paid by bank transfer and I sent it regular royal mail. It never arrived and didn't come back to me either (I forgot to put a senders address on it).

After a few weeks I offered to refund but he was having none of it, as it wasn't my fault it got lost. We agreed that I'd make a donation of same amount to a charity of his choice, and he chose St Anne's Hospice (same one as he donated the ebay money for these same bibs to..). Donation was made, nobody lost out really, seatpost never arrived anywhere.

Seems like a decent person to me.

The way I am reading this thread is as follows:

OP wants to do a good deed and advertises a free gratis pair of bib shorts. He then gets a couple of folk wanting them, so emails the first one who is a bit shoddy in replying. He gets in touch with the second one who turns out to be a bit greedy, and asks all sorts of questions and pisses off the OP who then decided **** it and fires them onto Ebay.

The only bad guys here are the folk who were wanting something for nothing and couldnt be arsed to put the effort in to be nice about it.

Cards are marked....

[i]IHN it's the principal now mate. [/i]

Oh FFS, what do you want, pistols at dawn to defend your honour? There's been some confusion over a free, that's FREE, pair of shorts. Your lack of perspective over that has led to the name calling.

Anyhoo, I'm out as, and I never thought I'd type these words, Hora has summed it all up nicely.

Hora. Read the thread.

I'm only kicking off as he has tried to discredit me by telling lies where as if he had been honest in the first place it wouldn't if happened.

There is no confusion. Op came on here yesterday spouting off that he had replied to all my emails as well as robdobs when he hasn't. Then he makes out he put them on eBay after he had told me about it. He didn't he put them on eBay before he told me that he had posted them out to me which he clearly hadn't done.

To be honest Renton you're doing a good enough job of making yourself look like a ****.

The world could do with a bit more patience, when I was growing up you often waited 30 days for mail order deliveries to arrive.

I'm still firmly siding with Renton here I must say!

Parcels can only arrive if they have been posted in the first place!

Weirdest. Thread. Ever.

+1

Given the large amount of charity work Monksie's done in the past and other things he's discussed on the forum, I'd say getting hacked off and sticking them on ebay for charity was entirely in character and the right thing to do.

If you like I can post up all the emails I sent between the start of this and when he supposedly posted them out. On more than one occasion I offered to cover the postage.

it go![/url]

Nobody is covering themselves in glory here. At least the OP has the dignity to stop digging himself deeper.

In one email I offered to pay postage and donate to a charity of monksie choosing.

But mostly, I'd like to see the emails 😛

I'd demand my money back
