i stopped reading ST when some navel-gazing sixth form prose about a bead of sweat rolling down someones leg was deemed worthy of publication.

has it improved since then?

Don't suppose anyone posting here read Ferrentino's earlier article about internet "facts" then? Didn't think so...

Has this thread formed some sort of self-referential circle with Ferentino's articles forming the centrepoint?

I took Singletrack for a couple of years

As a suppository? 🙂

It's always had a bit of a "house style" summed up nicely by BD's jibes the other week about all the articles by someone who "gets the fear" when they ride over some roots. I like the current theme of middle aged blokes dabbling in DH though, that strikes a chord.

The lone voice. I quite like MF's columns. Don't always agree with him but do sympathise with him. And I rather like "angry with god for not existing", impotent rage style stuff anyway. Possibly because it strikes a chord with me! He often has a point beneath the often glib visceral ramblings (internet forum "truths" being a case in point....).

Maybe he doesn't enjoy all aspects of his job but I imagine being a moral person in marketing is enough to drive anyone to angry thoughts. I imagine if I was doing it I'd want to kill my bosses for thinking it acceptable to massage the truth, etc and the masses for falling for it. So maybe he should change job after all.

Hmm, feeling strangely tense for a sunny friday.

"my Honda's paint is sh1t and it cost me £25000

i complained direct to Honda UK however..... "

I don't think you can blame Honda for your decision to pay £25K for a Civic 😉 I'd have bought a DC5.

Honda paint is quite soft but the alloy wheel lacquer is even worse (as is the case for most Jap cars).
