MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Buying new Fox F120's soon to replace some OEM 2007 RL 120 off an old bike - told one mate who didn't seem to have any issues (Mate2). Spoke to another (Mate1) and his words to him (Mate2) were:
"have you heard about the new Forks"
"Yes"
"Why does he want those?"
"Its his money and he's selling other stuff to put towards them"
"He's got loads of money there"
Why when you study till you are 25, get a professional degree and Diplomas (This is not showing off BTW !!) then work hard, have quite a tresssfull job and have to keep your professional fees and professional status going on conferences and courses do people still stick the knife in and keep going on about how much money you earn etc etc?
I'd ignore them. No shortage of idiots in the world.
Some people are just like that - "Why's X want to do Y". Simple fact is that they think they've got life sussed, and anyone who deviates from the way they'd do things is a mug. Not generally a jealousy thing in my book.
I think he's just taking issue with a poor choice of fork brand/UK distributor 😉
My heart goes out to you. It must be an awful burden to carry round.
To be honest - I am glad I dont live in your world. It sounds crap.
This is a willy waving thread, isn't it..
LOL - @ clubber - Well he had some Fox Talas forks so cant be that 😉
Nope not loads of money - just carefull with it - spend a bit and save a bit 🙂
No its not will waving BTW. I am not jelous of people wo earn more than me - Just be happy what you have coz you don't know whats around the corner.
What a bizarre thing to write a thread about.
buy him off!
It's easy, don't hang round with poor people.
For what it's worth, I've followed a similar path as you, earn good money and still couldn't justify those forks. 😉
At 25 I had loooooads of money. At 35 I have money, (just), I wouldn't worry about it. By the time you have kids & a mortgage you'll be just as skint as everyone else.
I did open this thread thinking it would be someone getting a hard time off his wife / mates for being a pauper...
See - the annonymous STW members ganging up on someone again who posts a thread about people giving other people a hard time for the hard earned money they earn !! Might be best if people lokk at themselves and ask why they are having a go at someone who is not willy waving but posting a genuine post about something!!
[b]HOW[/b] much ???
I tried the expensive bike schtick, but then through circumstances ended up on a cheap one and discovered it was just as much fun :o)

Toys, pram > out.
Good old STW judging you without having all the facts 🙂 Oh dear nothing changes 🙂
Should have thought twice about having a sensible discussion about why people are so biggoted in this world ......
should i read anything into the fact that you number your friends in reverse order, or are you just not very good at stuff like that?
Did you expect sympathy?
Cough.

**** 'em all Foxy
My bank / credit card company give me a hard time, but that's their job I suppose. People will always be opinionated, you cant change that, so why worry?
Good old STW judging you without having all the facts
in which bits has anyone judged you ? Don't you think you might be teased a little for complaining you're too rich ?
Not since I had anyone who did hunted down and killed.
People will always be opinionated
please tell me which are the opinionated posts ?
I have plenty of poor friends, and that is their choice.
I like to think when i pull up in my 911 with bike rack on it gives them the motivation to better themselves!
OP in getting narky after no one is of the same mindset shocker 😉
Don't you think you might be teased a little for complaining you're too rich ?

There was only one way this thread was going...but above all, I have to say:
My heart goes out to you. It must be an awful burden to carry round.
and
To be honest - I am glad I dont live in your world. It sounds crap.
Sorry prob a bit of a rant I guess if I am honest....
I know your all winding me up - trouble it its easy to wind me up 😉
I like to think when i pull up in my 911 with bike rack on it gives them the motivation to better themselves!
...or at least doff their caps and open the door for you.
So, tell us how much you earn then....
Popular thread this one isn't it 😉
I am the son of Tony Hayward 🙂
when i pull up in my 911 with bike rack
I'd just be thinking what a cock you looked 😉
"please tell me which are the opinionated posts ?"
I wasnt referring to any of the posts Simon, I meant 'mate 1' and 'mate 2' (odd names, but there you go).
@ Penrod Pooch - you first? 🙂
I know your all winding me up - trouble it its easy to wind me up
Surely there is a course you can go on for that, might increase your earning potential.
trouble it its easy to wind me up
feeding frenzy in the shark pool :o)
I was going to type that I have wasted 5 minutes of my life reading this pointless thread but then decided that typing a response would waste even more of my time so I'm not going to reply at all 😉
These threads are often the most entertaining 🙂
You should live like a pauper, because that's what some others have to do.
...or at least doff their caps and open the door for you
Let them touch the car? Not a chance. I do pay them 1 Flapjack each for getting there early to ensure I have a parking space right next to the Cafe and shop though.
I'd just be thinking what a cock you looked
Jealousy muggles is a such a lower class perspective.
Well done ken, although I'm sure that I would've enjoyed your response if you'd typed one.
We need some kind of proof of how rich this Kid really is?
Anyone know him?
Well at least I have a butler to help me get my bike stuff together before a ride and my own bike mechanic when I get home after a hard day on the trails - I don't know why they have a go at me?

Mate1 and Mate2 do.
My next door neighbour has just bought some new tea towels from Next. I hope the ba**ard dies screaming in agony. Lifes s**t isnt it?
Having been in your position and now being in your mates position, it is very frustrating/upsetting even when your mates keep talking and flashing the cash when you have very little.
BTW I dont have children so maybe that maybe make a difference 🙂

Erm where did you get the opinion that I flash my cash around - I only mentioned I was getting a new set of forks ? eh? 😯

Mine bought some clothes from Primark, we no longer talk.
"ahead" "while" "you're" "quit"
Rearrange to make a suitable piece of advice for the OP
Or on the other hand, don't, it's been a dull morning 🙂
Erm where did you get the opinion that I flash my cash around - I only mentioned I was getting a new set of forks ? eh?
To the whole of the WWW.
Next thing the OP will be drinking Belgian beer - just need to be one better don't you?
No not Belgium beer - I drink Crystal champagne 🙂
'Cristal'.
Tut tut...
I drink [s]Crystal[/s][b]Cristal[/b] champagne
Fixed it for you. Maybe not so loaded after all
The person I know who spends the most on bikes is probably also the skintest.
Our neighbours recently bought a new toaster - I saw the box in the rubbish pile. It's quite a nice one.
I hate them and hope they burn in hell for such extravagance.
You only mentioned a set of forks but they happen to be very EXPENSIVE forks with a random comment thrown in about a mate being jealous. A bit like someone saying "I only mentioned buying a new watch" when it's a Patek Phillipe.
🙂 Oh dear that let the cat out of the bag KingTut - seen right through my disguise 😉

BTW I dont have children so maybe that maybe make a difference
you can probably afford to buy a couple of those too...
"Why does he want those?"
"Its his money and he's selling other stuff to put towards them"
"He's got loads of money there"
I'd hardly call that 'getting a hard time'!
😛

This thread, that's the whole point of it right?
Right - time to give up then I suppose 🙂
One final note - there are some honest people out there who actually post genuinely!! And are not showing off - I might come across here as showing off but that was not my intention at all 🙂
Withdraws gracefully .......
Sorry to have not taken your original post seriously foxy. Anyway, I'm off to piss through next door's letterbox now. That'll learn 'em!
foxyrider:

Eurghh....thats so [i]new[/i] money.
Time for a drive through some poor area methinks. I plan to toss burning tenners from the car while laughing at all the peasants.

Assuming that ownership of expensive products make a person 'better'. The prevalence of this sort of life view is pretty much why society is bollocksed.
The flip side is that if someone has more money that you they are obviously to$$ers 🙂 [off topic]
i read and reread this thread and I STILL don't understand why you bothered to start it!
You may be stinking rich but you have no social graces.
There are some things money can't buy
Don't buy the forks, go to finishing school instead
Jeeeeezus, could this be the thread with the most smileys ever?
Wow yossarian - you got some anger issues there dude - no wonder people of different backgrounds and ethnicity cant seem to get on on this planet!!
Have I had a pop at anyone on here - No - Have I been polite - Yes - could you do the same when you post?
I don't know you Yoss - you don't know me - Go figure
Jeeeeezus, could this be the thread with the most smileys ever?
Quite right 🙂 🙂

said like a true Pauper.
Wow yossarian - you got some anger issues there dude
The jealous muggles quite often have anger issues. Its how they compensate for being poor.

I think the poster was kidding 🙂
Have I had a pop at anyone on here - No - Have I been polite - Yes - could you do the same when you post?I don't know you Yoss - you don't know me - but you hide behind your made up name and hurl insults - how brave of you!
again, I don't think his remarks were intended to be taken seriously!
perhaps you're being too literal FR?
The flip side is that if someone has more money that you they are obviously to$$ers
If someone wants everyone to KNOW they have more money then they are to55ers.
People with money don't feel the need to shout about it. People who [i]think [/i]they have money and need to shout about it are just try hards.
End of.
My Post was intented to be just an honest WYSIWYG type thing - maybe I was too literal - Thats me I think though 🙂
Yes but when someone has repeated pops on that "you have loads of money", which I DO NOT BTW, to set the record straight then it gets a bit wearing and then one has a bit of a moan on here?
BTW I do not earn a huge wage but am carefull with my and my wives money and enjoy it when it comes ot it as you never know whats around the corner?
No regreats in life 🙂
At 25 I had loooooads of money. At 35 I have money, (just), I wouldn't worry about it. By the time you have kids & a mortgage you'll be just as skint as everyone else.
+1
As a young man I had a top life touring the world as a DJ, now I'm a publuic sector drone with a wife, kid & house.
Easy come, easy go life's tough.
OP, I kinda get your point but if you have a lot of cash sometimes people will comment, your mates are hardly lyniching you are they? If they'd stormed your house killed your children and declared the environs of your estate a socialist republic maybe you'd have space to comment.
