Oooh touchy aren't we! Did you miss the 🙂
Looks pretty fun in places actually - though the video in the OP maybe isn't the greatest advert. 😛
Decent beer? Down south? Ha!
grumm - we even have vineyards as well...oh and dusty trails 🙂
Don't get started on the foamy beer thing! The south definitely has the best beer regardless of the excellent singletrack...
Actually I think you'll find the Midlands has the best beer, just not so much good riding.
Hasn't this all turned into a jolly slanging match? What fun; is it my turn now?
njee20, what sort of username is that? Did you enter your username and password in the wrong fields when you signed up?
Grumm, you'd be surprised how nice some of the trails are down here, and I speak as someone from your neck of the woods (we were in the apartment next to you in Alpe D'Huez). Sure, rocks are missing from the equasion but that doesn't mean that there aren't ones where a lot of people drag their brakes, lower and ride like little girls. As for naming the trails, I used to think it was weird as well but you end up using the names all the time. Anyway, there's a trail near Arnside (from Hazelslack to Beetham) that we always referred to as Blue Underpant Lane, so it's not just a Southern thing.
Real ale is crap, regardless of where it comes from. It's just drank by smug ****ers who want to tell anyone who will listen how great they are because they like to sup a pint of Flowery Piss**** because it is oh so very hoppy and you can really taste the oak from the barrel and one should really support the small breweries because hey, those guys are struggling and have you tried Shepherd Neame's Goblin's Foreskin? Oh, you just must.
Where is my friend Sonor (or whatever he is called)? He was such fun.
As opposed to the great taste of nitrogen beer that you get in the "North"...
No, as opposed to fizzy lager. It doesn't surprise me that you are a fan of real ale; do you have a beard with bits of food in it?
Oi Pencil Museum season ticket holder, get thee back to thee pint of over-priced fizzy training beer, as like.
"It doesn't surprise me that you are a fan of real ale; do you have a beard with bits of food in it? "
No, but I do have taste buds in my tongue that are wired to my brain unlike you, you clog-dancing halfwit.
:o*
You may as well have taste buds in your brown eye, beacause that's what most real ale tastes like.
Never mind. Just keep sucking the sugar cubes, sonny.
😛
Oh, and I'd rather have clogs than ballet shoes with drips of piss on them
Actually, they're leather stilettos. Kneel, slave...
So the beer you drink determines your age and maturity, does it?
I see you put a laughing emoticon there; I truly hope you were laughing out loud when you typed that, telling your wife about the joke funny you just made on STW.
I would kneel, but I'm afraid that you may try and put your 'sugar cube' in my mouth
Well as you say, there's always hope, eh?
... and Use and Answer and that....
Mine's a Snecklifter, by the way. You lifted any Snecks lately?
Last word freak....
Ta-raaaaaaaaaaa
Shame, I was thinking we could hook up at the bottom of Deliverance
You are a clever one, aren't you? A real master of words. I am now picturing a podgy bloke with a beard with bits of food in it, wearing a dirty old jumper with leather patches on the elbows, nursing a pint of some god awful real ale, sitting in front of his computer saying "Ta-raaaaaaa" out loud and feeling all smug because (a) he hasn't wet himself today, and (b) he feels that he has got the better of some Northern scallywag on an internet forum.
You'll sleep well tonight, I'll wager
Can someone put this thread out of it's misery pleassssssssssssssssse
Done.
*strokes beard (bits of food fall out), nod of head (more food loss from beard)*
CF must be quiet tonight......
CF? Not been on that in years mate. More fun to go on Ant's forum and wind up the roadies

Aha, are you the man from Storth? How did you know it was me - have you been stalking me on the internet? :creepy
🙂
I love this thread.
It does need killing, though. Where's Hora to weigh in with a bit of wisdom when you need him?
I just bummed you all while drinking Ribena. Not because I wanted to. Simply because I could. 😆
lcj, nice to meet you last w/e mate and thanks for showing us that piece of trail
It's odd, isn't it? You leave the country for a year and when you pop your head back into the forum to see what's going on, it would appear that half the people riding round Leith Hill like wearing beards, stiletto heeled boots and terrible, terrible music. What's that all about?
You must have 'popped' back several pages of the forum to find this.

dunno? people do all sorts of things others find odd, that's the way of the world. a bit like people putting loads and loads of badly taken taken self portraits on their flickr site. slightly narcissistic and creepy but just because i find it odd doesn't mean it's wrong.
Yes, but when there's so much rich and valuable advice herein, it stands out like a flickering beacon, a shining pearl in the firmament of STW. Or the fundament.
true. very true. why go to MBR for 'what full suss for £1500 when Alan who works in I.T. and doesn't like foreign food can give you the lowdown on here.
