[Closed] A serious question for ernie lynch.

May I answer on behalf of Ernie in case he's not around? -

He likes cycling. I've met him at Swinley as have many other STW people, and he's cycled to meet bodies in a London pub. Top bloke

So why not?

1) this type of post is not allowed by the rules
2) he may be an example of parasitic cycling

i was just interested, no reason, maybe i am just too nosey.

barnes, ssshhhooo

barnes, ssshhhooo

funny, only [b]ton[/b] calls me that...

i know i looked at some back posts.
seemed to err you a tad.

Isn't this reason we have two forums, one for chat, one for bikes. As far as I'm aware, STW has never ever been solely about bikes, or mountain biking, and has always had a "lively" chat side.

Long may it continue.

nickc, i thought that but was not too sure.
thanks.

Not met him but I thought he was a Surrey Hills rider?

[i]there is no posts to do with cycling[/i]

Maybe more interested in the debates rather than discussing the geeky aspects of frame/fork design, SSC, Fox vs RS, most suitable tyres etc etc 😉

bombadillo = Stalker

If you look a bit more closely, I think you'll find he does post about cycling, certainly has some sort of affiliation with Addiscombe CC.
Probably just enjoys riding rather than having to chop and change bikes and bits every 5 minutes to account for other deficiencies.

So if what you say is true why have you posted this in the bike forum rather than chat forum?

i asked why he did not post cycling related stuff, therefore it was a question about cycling, in a roundabout way.

and the question was for ernie.

but i now apologise to ernie, as i i found a post about latex for tyres.

We know it was for ernie it's just that if your looking for someone it often helps to start in the place your most likely to find them. Or am I missing something?

and where would that be please.

Or am I missing something?

bump in case ernie's not noticed now he's back 🙂

I don't like bikes.............don't listen to Moses.

.

OK, serious answer. I now almost never look at the bike/chat forum, quite simply because topics just drop off the page too quickly - often in a matter of minutes, which can make following a thread quite difficult. Shame really, because if I take the time to look at the bike forum there's often interesting stuff. I am however registered on three other bike forums - if I need to ask a bike specific question.

And yes I ride a bike, in fact I have seven working bikes. About four I regularly use. And yes I am an Addiscombe CC member, and I go on ACC bike rides most weekends.

I have no problem with the question btw, although I'm slightly mystified why anyone should be so interested as to start a whole thread about it. Thanks for the link btw SFB

Only time I have ever seen Ernie at Swinley, he has been either riding a shonky little red rock lobster with a cigarette lighter holder or an equally petitte white Canondale with one of those lefty forks. Mindyou could have been someone else - these cockneys all look the same? 😕

he has been either riding a shonky little red rock lobster with a cigarette lighter holder

Oi! Don't diss a man's wheels! He's already said he has 7 (S-E-V-E-N) bikes so he was probably slummin it innit ?

LOL @ Andy !

Yes mate ..... you're confusing me with my mixed-race mouthy younger brother 🙂

Yeah - rock lobster and fags, and a cannondale with 'alf the forks missin'....

Where is that loud mawf gobby she-yite....??

[whispers] fred.... fred....[/whispers]

DrP 😉

ernie, i was just interested.
your input in most post's is in general very good.
i just did not know if you were a cyclist or not.

no offence ment.

Well someone agrees with me as it appears to have moved forums. I feel a very childlike sense of vindication. 🙂

I was once sniffing glue on the top deck of a bus in Oxford and saw him climbing an electricity pylon trying to retrieve a red frisbee, and that my friend is as good a reason as any as far as I'm concerned!

Ernie's bike is Sarcin.....

He's actually a butcher from S****horpe, as am i. Infact we work in the same butchers, selling fine cuts of octopus and have recently branched out to rock crank chocolate.

Moz loves it.

no offence meant.

No problem, no offence taken - I can assure you. And yes, those rumours as revealed by MrNutt Andy and naokfreek, are indeed shockingly all true.

And just expand on the reasons for my preference of chat over bike (although my initial attraction to STW was obviously bikes). I think it's fair to say that I am hugely content the set ups of my bikes, and furthermore I don't feel that my seven bikes don't satisfy all my needs.

However, I appreciate that this almost certainly due to the fact that I am blissfully unaware of how much I could improve them, if only I was to spend even more money on them. Keeping away from the bike forum maintains me in this blissful state of ignorance. Spending time on the bike forum would almost certainly trigger off all sorts of 'big ideas' of how I could further improve my bikes, and raise all sorts of questions concerning how am I managing without [i]that[/i] "must have" bike.

Similarly, I find that peaking at the Merlin Cycles and On-One sites has invariably, a detrimental effect on my bank balance. Holding off getting a titanium off-road frame is my current challenge (I spent far far too much on my titanium road bike)

I also it has to be said, find arguing Boris v Ken a bit more fun than arguing 170mm cranks v 175mm cranks. And finally, I find the banter and humour on the chat forum a bit more entertaining than the stuff on the bike forum. Although I'm starting to find the "let's all laugh at fat ugly people who shop at Tesco" is becoming rather tedious.

Anyway bombadillo, now that I have answered your question candidly and comprehensively, perhaps it would be fair for you to answer [i]my question[/i] in the same candid way : what under what username were you previously registered on here ? Do tell don't be shy ....... or do you think I should start a thread specifically to ask you the question ?

btw I found this very interesting : [i]"your input in most post's is in general very good"[/i] as I've noticed recently that you have a predisposition to backtrack which even exceeds Hora's impressive level. IIRC, a few days ago you were suggesting that I was some sort of **** who talks mostly bollox 😕

Still, your unpredictability might make you rather interesting 8)

Heh heh heh...

Now things are starting to get a little more interesting....

**** me ernie.......you sound a bit miffed with someone, what gives...... 😆

Keeping away from the bike forum maintains me in this blissful state of ignorance.

I find a single hardtail covers my riding needs, and my interest in the machine is restricted to replacing bits that wear out :o)

you sound a bit miffed with someone, what gives

well, I wonder whom ?

simon, getting angry with a person cos they ask questions....why.
if you don't ask, you don't get, surely you know that.

Addiscombe CC? - I thought you lived in Peterborough? Didn't I send you a map when you were Grizzly Gus?

simon, getting angry with a person cos they ask questions....why.

who ? ernie ? Is there any evidence of him getting angry ? He plays his cards close to his chest old ern...

you sound a bit miffed with someone

Really ? .........I'm not sure why 😕

So come on bombadillo.........tell everyone which username were you previously registered under ?

Or shall I post up a thread titled "A serious question for bombadillo"....eh ?

silverpigeon - no I've never lived in Peterborough and no, you've never sent me a map ...... 😕

Although I was under the impression I had once met you in a pub in London Town - or was that someone else with a similarly sounding name to 'silverpigeon' ? ..... 😕 x2

ernie, it is me mate, just having a bit of fun with you, no offece mate.
here's me thinking you were not the type to get flustered..... 🙄

Ah I see, you weren't serious about me being miffed then.

And no, I wasn't flustered about you suggesting that I was miffed - just surprised and slightly confused 😯

Gosh this thread is getting very confusing ....... what with discovering that someone once sent me a map when I lived in Peterborough, and I was in Oxford where I was seen retrieving a red frisbee from an electricity pylon whilst coming back from Swinley on my shonky little red Sarcin bike (?) And apparently I'm flustered about not being miffed.... 😕 x 3

Let's just hope that bombadillo can at least clear up the mystery about who he really is ........

I reckon he's Adam G!

a serious question for barnes............
have you filled in the form yet.....

[b]Jimmy![/b] 😀

I reckon he's Adam G!

Be serious ....... 😕

btw, thanks for the tip Ratty ....... I'll remember it next time 😐

Did ton just admit he's bombadillo?

ernie, it is me mate

😕

:?:?:?:?:?:?:?:?

:?:?:?:?:?:?:?:?

Holy ****!

no i did not......i said , it is me in reply to ernie asking about me posting asking if he was miffed cos bombadildo posted asking a question to ernie...... 🙄

This thread is confusing me more with every post 😯

😐

You're trying to bombadoozle us with that explaination ton...

There was a brief moment when things were becoming clear but then confusion set in.

sodafarls
it is a a bombanation, you accusing me of trying to confuse people... 😉

there was never any question it was [b]ton[/b]badillo :o)

a serious question for barnes............
have you filled in the form yet.....

I'm sorted, but thanks for your concern!

Surely that Ton had a 5 day absence and Bombadillo sprung up during the slack and both seem to be interested in XL Nicolai FR's is just purely coincidental...

no spots on you metalheart, eh...

sharp as button me...

ton - well done mate......I've just had a quick search for the word "ernie" under posts posted by bombadillo for the last few days. I'm sure you won't mind if I withdraw all the nice comments I've made about you over a substantial period of time. Seems like my "lovable troll" turned out to have quite a nasty side. Still no offence taken, and it's always nice to have a clearer picture about someone 8)

ernie, double check all the post's.........
you will see that nothing nasty or offensive was said about you or to you mate.
just a good old bit of fun.

How come bombadillo has the name [b]craig[/b] in his e-mail address, and Tony [b]Craig[/b] is known on here as ton?

double check all the post's.........

Yeah I did, and there's some pretty unpleasant comments posted about me by "bombadillo", certainly not the sort of stuff which "ton" would post.

Now it should be obvious to anyone that I don't mind a bit of stick - I just simply dish it back. In fact I have always expressed strong disapproval of people like AdamG and Lanesra being banned, despite 'robust' disagreements between us.

What disappoints though ton, is that you had to create an alias before having a pop at me - instead of doing it as ton. You also made some pretty unpleasant racist suggestions under you new alias, something which I don't recall ton ever doing - well certainly not to quite that extent.

Still if you are so gutless that have to hide behind an alias to say what you really think (because you can't bear to do it as the cuddly lovable persona of ton) then that's your problem - not mine. So good luck with it mate 8)

I think the epithet "gutless" is particularly inappropriately levelled at [b]ton/badillo[/b]...

I told that he was ton last week Ernie
The similarities were just too great for it not to be

I told that he was ton last week Ernie

Yes you did. And I was clearly completely wrong.

It never occurred to me that someone would hide behind an alias simply to say things which they would otherwise never say. Of course the exception to that would be when it is done just for "a laugh". But having gone back and read what bombadillo posted, there is some pretty nasty stuff, a lot of which, doesn't contain the slightest hint of it being said "in jest".

Oh well, never mind ........ live and learn, as they say 😀

btw SFB..... stop being such a fatist !

btw SFB..... stop being such a fatist !

1) I have given that up!
2) however, it is not demeaning to hint that [b]ton[/b] isn't actually slim

I'm monitoring tonbadillo as the first refuge of scoundrels is to claim "It's only a laugh" and/or "No offence mate"

I've got a serious question for Ernie, why does he idolise South American marxist revolutionaries? Is it down to how Che "dealt with" the opposition or how he played a pivotal role in the Cuban missile crisis?

[img] [/img]

Or is Ernie just a darkside imposter like his hero?

anyone care for an after dinner mint?

anyone care for an after dinner mint?

I hope it's not waffer thin as Mr. Creosote references would be highly prejudicial 🙁

I've got a serious question for Ernie

Well that's a kind of shame innit ?

Because as you know enfht ...... I can't be bothered having a serious discussion with you ever since, you told me that the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11 was only a terrorist attack because those who carried out the attack were not directly paid by the Taleban government. According to you if they had been, then it wouldn't have been a terrorist attack.

That is such a load of gobbledygook, that I quite frankly can't be arsed to discuss anything with you ......... sorry 😐

ladies ladies can we please get back on the matter in hand, who's going to make a fruitcake? I've got jam!

Turned out to be quite an upsetting thread in the end. I'm all melancholy now. I actually genuinely feel sympathy for Ernie.

Comrade Ernie....I know you get all flustered when I mention your hero but I think you made a typo 😕

[img] [/img]

EDIT: well corrected!

Are you suggesting that the Twin Towers were attacked by Afghani Armed Forces?!? 😐

didn't David Ike do it?

was only a terrorist attack because those who carried out the attack were not directly paid by the Taleban government.

I suppose it depends how one defines terrorism, the convention seems to be to regard such actions as acts of war* when carried out by governments, though of course the name given hardly matters to the victims.

* or "accidents" if carried out by the US

This thread is a world of lame.

Popping up under an alias to snipe at ernie would be lame enough if it had been done by someone who had ever, ever laid a glove on him in a debate. Ton hasn't and almost certainly never will.

On the other side of the galaxy from Planet Lame, I salute barnselymitch for the phrase [i]"Back under your rock you nazi c*ckmonkey"[/i] and was greatly amused by the subsequent explanation it required.

ernie, seriously please show me the nasty comments i aimed at you as bombadillo.
i was serving a ban, that is why i was on as bombadillo.
i will not be the last person to come on the forum on another name while serving a ban.
so if you would please show me my racist comments or my nasty comment aimed at you i will be a happy man.

you and barnes and others rip the **** out of me constantly on here about being fat or thick, i let it go, i thought i was having a laugh and i thought that you had sussed me out, most people did in the 1st day.

and on another note, i did not create the alias to have a pop at you mate, like i said i was serving a ban.
i do not need to stand behind a alias to have a pop at anyone.
a lot of people on here know me and have met and ridden with me, they know my true colours and the kind of person that i am..

You'll have to shout if you want Ernie Guevara to hear you from up there on his moral high ground...personally I wouldn't bother but instead just take every opportunity to poke fun as Marxism.

Here's a quick pic of Che during his brief stint at the BBC (his legacy obviously lives on at the beeb 😆 )

you and barnes and others rip the **** out of me constantly on here about being fat or thick

You've got to be kidding me 😯

There has never been a single incident of taking the piss out of you for "being fat or thick" ...... never mind about me doing it "constantly" !

In fact you know very well that the complete opposite is true - I have constantly stuck up for you on here.

From 3 days ago, quote : [i]"ton is a lovely guy"[/i]

And : [i]"ton on the other hand, is a sharp cunning and shrewd guy, who often makes me chuckle with his subtle trolling on here"[/i]

And here I am 6 days ago defending you against attacks for being "fat" :

[i]"Certainly some of the 'attackers' on here are very big on 'gay rights'. As I understand it, ton was referring to attacks on here."[/i]

If you want anymore, do an advance search for the word "ton" under ernie_lynch posts.

.

please show me my racist comments

I think plenty of other people noticed your racist posts ton. Hence the comment :

[i]"Back under your rock you nazi c*ckmonkey"[/i].

But listen ton, don't worry about it - I don't do resentment. I might be very surprised, but I'm not bothered or upset in anyway. No one on a bike forum bothers me that much ..... not even a dipstick like enfht who on stumbling upon this thread, couldn't resist making puerile and silly unrelated comments.

.

I actually genuinely feel sympathy for Ernie.

Thanks, but there's no need to backhander. I'm not exactly a shrinking violet on here who goes out of his way to avoid flak. I know full well that the path I tread on here between the tabloid ranters and the Guardian-reading liberals, makes me a target for a fair few people. If I had a problem with that, I wouldn't do it.

Fair enough, I really thought you were upset. Should have known better really.

you and barnes and others rip the **** out of me constantly on here about being fat or thick

I never thought or suggested you were thick for one moment and have taken your remarks about fattism to heart and stopped doing it - unless my comment that you could not be fairly described as "gutless" was still insulting ?

Don't any of you have work to do, ever?

Simonfbarnes, is KINGTUT your gaffer ?
