Come on squire. I don't give advice on routes I have no knowledge of - and if I haven't ridden them I would say " I believe this about this route"
Yer just trolling now. Put up or shut up examples or I will consider it proven you are talking out of your behind
[i]and if I haven't ridden them I would say " I believe this about this route"[/i]
No, you didn't. You posted as "fact" about a trail you'd not ridden. I can't be arsed searching through your detritus.
I'll not mention the apparently racist description you posted about Glasgow, eh? "Weegiestan" wasn't it? Something I'd never heard in 25 years of living in Edinburgh...
[i]Yer just trolling now. [/i]
No worries, I'm not convinced you're for real. A bit like Hora, you appear too ridiculous to actually exist.
Giving "advice" on routes that you haven't ridden - multiple examples.
Are you sure you are not mixing me up with someone else? when? Waht route?
like when you attacked me for suggesting people ride down the grass on Dollywaggon Pike, only to discover that a national park ranger gave a rider exactly the same advice ?
Simon - I remember that thread and I was talking not about the specifics of that route but about the general case about avoiding erosion. I have to believe you that you were given that advice but it goes against the usual principles of avoiding erosion.
This thread is almost as good as[url=
vs Giant Octopus[/url].
Two titans of STW pointless argumentation locked in a deadly battle for ultimate supremacy. Who will emerge victorious? Will SFB's selective [i]italicisation[/i] be a match for the power of the TJ Wiki-link? Who will wear the creepiest shorts? Which is mightier, the general or the specific? We can only watch, and pray... 😀
it's supposed to be about weather forecasts - and it's not just me that's saying they've been rubbish recently...
As for TJ, he seems to have suffered a personality shift, he used to be much more moderate in his remarks...
Hmmm - I shall ponder that. you might well be right. I'll tone it down a bitsimonfbarnes - MemberAs for TJ, he seems to have suffered a personality shift, he used to be much more moderate in his remarks...
This is brilliant. An SfB thread that's been sabotaged with added TJ.
Keep going chaps. No one else need post.
I don't consider it to have been sabotaged 🙂
No, I'm sure you don't and even if you did, you'd argue contrary regardless...
You know, I used to be lost on STW, as to who were the regulars and who was trolling/just passing by.
Now it's blantantly obvious 😀
As for the weather, I'm always amazed that people are surprised that forecasts are wrong. I'll always beleive that there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes....
They should really be called "Weather Educated Guesses" (Except those by TJ which could be called "Weather Certainties") but I don't suppose that would inspire people to watch/look at them...
whenever i ride i go out with attitude that it is gonna pis5 it down.
and that is summer or winter.
and teej and barnes, very entertaining......... 8)
I hate to say this, but on the subject of weather forcasting, I totally agree with TJ. Learn about it yourself, check the DATA available before you go out (Not the forecast) and decide weather to take a t-shirt, coat, or canoe......
😉
you'd argue contrary regardless...
no I wouldn't!
Learn about it yourself ... decide [b]weather[/b] to take a t-shirt, coat, or canoe
or, don't bother and be prepared for anything :o)

Yeah possibly, but my way saves carrying the canoe just on the off-chance.

Anyway, simon's spot on. There's no point in weather forecasts. Saturday in North Yorkshire, forecast says 'showers all day', got none & it didn't even threaten. Sunday the same. Todays forecast said 'heavy rain', hardly likely looking around as we've got scattered high clouds above Boroughbridge.
TJ should be a weather man as it seems he's ALWAYS right.
Oops sorry, it did rain in York on Saturday!
One thing that has always baffled me is when out at sea the shipping forcast is nearly always right. So why can't the weather people apply this to the land 😕
It's the land that makes it unpredictable. There's no mountains at sea!
🙂
Well just to prove a point on how micro climates are - we were riding round Coniston and except for a few spots in Coniston, we had excellent weather all day and just got hotter as the day went on whereas some had torrential on garburn
It's the land that makes it unpredictable. There's no mountains at sea!
and the forecasted areas are massive.

He's trying to give up the ciggies isn't he........

not always right, just never wrong......
He's trying to give up the ciggies isn't he........
[b]REALLY ??[/b] That would definitely do it!
Two weeks now simon. Going well.
yeah, the meth and weed have been kicked but there's still the fags....
......'don't do drugs or you'll end up like jeremy' that'd be a campaign that would work 😉
Hilldodger. I am impressed and rather flattered that you are able to remember such trivia about me.
Or should I be scared that you are a stalker?

but a mug of espresso will OD you, that's another piece of TJ Wiki-wisdom.....

It's just one of my forum-files.....
but a mug of espresso
I prefer a cappuccino, which has just 2 shots of espresso ...
