And STR: what makes you think you have any right making comments like you did, or trying to justify them by saying "he said worse"

Just grow a pair, accept you're wrong, and move on. What are you? Twelve? **** head.

What makes me think I have any right? I have as much right to express my opinion on here as you have to start insulting me for doing so.

I'm not trying to justify anything with 'he said worse' I'm merely emphasising the fact that if you big yourself up and then post photos of yourself you are setting yourself up for a fall, as I well know. Should I have not said what I said because it was insensitive, or because it was aimed at a woman?

I know I was wrong to put it and duly apologised.

The only difference being if we were all in a pub, and STR came out with that line, I suspect there would have been a queue of WGs friends ready to flatten him. It's all very well making offensive comments from behind your keyboard, but just remember it is a real person on the end of them. In this instance, that real person happens to be a friend of mine, hence why I might appear a little narked.

I would suggest that if you can't handle your beer, STR, then stick to lemonade, if you're planning on opening your mouth in public.

Plus the fact if you are a girl who is into mountainbiking i am sure you are well used to the company of boys and all the fun that goes with it - i think i am fairly unshockable now

So as a woman you need to pass a toughness test and become "unshockable" to post on here ?

It's about time I left this one alone probably, but zokes - I'd love to see these offensive comments I made cos I can't find them. Insensitive maybe, but offensive - really?

Can we drag this back to the topic in hand please guys? We are in danger of returning to a well-worn dead-end topic which I'm sure has it's time and place but not here.
.
OP, you are somewhere warm and sunny with a Yeti, I'm sure those two things will help enormously in keeping you sane, go and enjoy them 😀 Sadly, I have to wait until October before I will be in Oz with a Yeti. (We've still not seen pics of yours by the way)

Ernie - I have'nt seen anything 'shocking' anywhere tbh. Adjustable seems to have a commendable attitude to life and blokes in general - are you trying to make an issue out of a molehill, by any chance? 🙂

no ernie i dont believe i said you needed to pass any toughness test

I meant in general i have spent a lot of time in the company of men - as they do tend to be the ones i ride with, and i have lots of male friends

so generally i am used to their banter/innuendo/humour and am generally unshockable - i don't feel it was a prerequisite to joining or commenting on this forum but maybe helps

Just because we are female it doesn't mean we are all fragile and easily offended 🙂

I hope wheelie has a great time in Oz and has been reassured by all the support she's received

How about you show us a few pictures of things (some trails and other interesting things) in Aus.

The picture is taken in bad light with the OP in a hoodie and I think she is attractive so she must be definitely good looking IRL.

Sure she'll get over it. Not always easy when you've had a bad 'un but sometimes you just need to have a look around you, take stock of where you're at and maybe realise that you are in a pretty good place in life compared to some of the other poor sods in the world.

Set your face to the sun, march on with your life and get the most you can out of it - you aint got forever!

Anyone that does'nt want you is'nt worth wasting time over - it really is that simple you know.

I don't know I leave my thread for a few hours and it descends in to some sort of chaos! You can all calm down, I'm not offended, it's a public forum you get to say what you like, that's how it works, your opinions are you own, we don't all have to agree.

Adjustablewench, you have it spot on as far as I'm concerned!

I'm in a much better mood tonight, dinner with a friend and a ride tomorrow, got most my stuff from the idiots house, most importantly my bikes! Am now definitely in phase two of recovery, the anger/go for a big long ride phase!

As wheelie was so good to do so, we should all post pics of ourselves and let her comment, its only fair. Here's me in office casual dress:

Ernie - I have'nt seen anything 'shocking' anywhere tbh.

Which presumably makes adjustable's comment "i am fairly unshockable" pointless ? Is that what you're trying to say ?

Just because we are female it doesn't mean we are all fragile and easily offended

"Not all people are the same shocka"

No, not all women are the same. And not all men are the same. Some men 'are all fragile and easily offended'. I once called Woppit a "tit" and he hit the report button and I was banned for two days, I kid you not.

brilliant news!! - enjoy your riding 😀

go for a big long ride phase!

come on you lot, pull yourselves together, the sun is shining, snows melting and one of our own needs a pick up. now is not the time for bickering. yes its the internet, but behind every screen is a person don't forget. try to be nice

I once called Woppit a "tit" and he hit the report button and I was banned for two days, I kid you not.

Ernie - you just seem a bit determined to push your point (whatever it is 😀 -) relax.

Wheelie -

I'm in a much better mood tonight, dinner with a friend and a ride tomorrow, got most my stuff from [b]the idiots house[/b],

There ya go - better already.

Ernie - you just seem a bit determined to push your point

So you aim a comment directly at me, even referring to me by name, and because I actually respond I'm 'determined to push my point' ? Priceless ! 😀

If you want me to stop responding then stop directing comments at me 💡

Kryton57 lol!

Maybe the idiot with some sort of borderline personality disorder is a bit more accurate! Oh and found out tonight from my friend that he was texting her friend a couple of weeks after I arrived (who he had a one night stand with, before I was on the scene) things like, "if I wasn't in a relationship I would be chasing you to the end of the earth"
Nice huh! All s**t and lies from the start, time for maybe a dismembering? You all know which bit I mean!

Well, if we are posting pictures of ourselves. Here's me out for a ride this morning

Which one's you ? The one smiling ?

Don't worry about all that nothing makes the satement you need to make more than riding off into your sunny future with a big smile on your face - leave him to karma

Chuck pathological liar into my last post too, just looked up what it means and it all fits! Life would be so much easier if certain people came with warning labels!

Adjustablewench, thanks I know you're right, and I'm pretty dam sure karma is going to get him one day!!

Hmm, isn't this a classic case of getting offended on someone else's behalf? Someone who doesn't actually appear to be offended themselves.

Oh the ironing etc.

Grum, zokes is just being a good mate, we know we would all do it if we thought someone was having a pop at a friend, it's nice to know he cares that much for me as I haven't actually known him that long, and boy do I need my friends right now.

Time for maybe a dismembering?

I'd like to think its the correct term for what I'd like to do! A man who doesn't have the balls to tell the truth doesn't deserve to have a member!!

This thread is far to serious

Here have some flaming material, me on my good side and a good day.

Piemonster! Love it that cheered me up so much!! And yay now I'm not the only idiot to put a photo of my actual self on this thread!!

Oh crap, I'm not meaning you are an idiot! Please don't be offended!

Hold on, you don' think mine is real? *is offended*

To be fair, when STR posted a pic of his chavvy lounge he did get a bit of a pasting.

Kryton! Uh oh, of course I think it's real, was just in so much shock at your photo! Lol

I'm offended on behalf of piemonster.

I'm offended on behalf of piemonster

this is really me (ish!)

I have to be honest, its not real. I'm taller.

So you aim a comment directly at me, even referring to me by name, and because I actually respond I'm 'determined to push my point' ? Priceless !

If you want me to stop responding then stop directing comments at me

Yes Ernie, that's lovely.
Perhaps you ought to post a thread that can be all about you eh? seems you're enjoying the attention.
Strangely I used your name because I was answering you - I believe it's the socially accepted norm? - think you are too busy being offended on behalf of our oppressed female posters to have noticed that though.

Still, back on the high horse eh?

Carry on! 😀

You look younger than I imagined adjustable 😀

I'm confused i thought piemonster was on the horse 😀

Well if we are posting pics of ourselves for general amusement and to cheer the OP up, here's me earlier...

Kryton57.

You know damn well that's not your photo. You didn't ask to use mine. 😉

(For a moment I thought I was looking in the mirror)

WG. Get out and enjoy yourself. Oz is the perfect place to do that. Be choosy and picky with blokes, it's not like you are going to have to jump on the first one that comes along. You're not exactly hard on the eye, now. Forget the last one and put it down to experience. Don't give him any more thought. Lastly, happy people attract happy people. Positive thoughts and all that.

nowt wrong with that, I pride myself on being it to be honest, but i'm also fairly unique, as those whom have met me will agree

i think you're lovely, but terribly normal. xxxx
