So sausages then?

Wow, what a thread.
True.
We all like sausage trolls, but there's no need for people to fry off the handle.
We're all feeling a little battered after this.
Indeed, some people are really up in other folks grill.
Well said.
This place really is a griddle wrapped in an enigma sometimes.
Yeah, very mature, TomW. Are you homophobic all the time, or just on sausage threads?
And you appear to have the same sense of humour as my mother in law*
We can have fun when we die.
Post 1 - Oh wow, pre-cooked sausages. Ossum.
Post 2 - They've been around for ages.
Post 3 - Oh, really?
Post 4 - Yeah.
Yeah, what am I missing here?
Posts 1 and 2 as above, and then people start going blooming nuts about it and suddenly everyone's going to abandon the forum and singletrack will have no customers and go bust because someone's upset that it's been pointed out that pre-cooked sausages are a thing, and have been for a bit?
WTAF?
If people can really get that angry that someone can respond in such a way about sausages, in fact if people can get that angry about anything someone posts on a pointless thread on an internet forum, even if they are a smart arse about it, then WTAF is wrong in your life?
There's plenty of shit going on in the world to get angry about, whether or not someone's pointed out the availability history of sausages surely isn't one of them.
I don't get it, I really don't.
Just in sausage threads, apparently.
Sorry Jamie
That's fine.
*adds howsyourdad1 to list*
At the risk of stirring up more divisions on the forum, can I ask the following question:
Which is best - bacon or sausages?
Just in sausage
Size isn't everything.
Which is best - bacon or sausages?
You don't have to choose; those little wrapped sausages that resemble a small penis are available for the undecided...
the "tone" of this forum seems to have changed a bit in the last year
For the better in my opinion - much less deliberate nastyness
I had a Cumberland sausage in a roll for brekkie - does that make me a heretic?
I thought you were only allowed those weird square sausages when you were north of the border?
Surely what you're doing isn't heresy? It's far, far worse than that! It's cultural appropriation! 😯
It was in a scottish morning roll tho so I would say its merely fusion cookery

Urgh, seems the sausage embargo chipps eluded to is happening, butty van didn't bring any today. Had to have a sausage roll instead... 😥
My only objection is people labelling crap like that as 'Cumberland' sausage. They're absolutely nothing bloody like a proper Cumberland Sausage.
"Most sausages are divided into links but the Cumberland sausage is one continuous rope-like coil. The sausage is typically filled with coarsely chopped pork and black pepper, and sometimes other ingredients such as herbs and other spices. The meat content is usually 85% - 98%. However, the popularity of the Cumberland sausage has become so widespread in recent years that many large food producers started to mass-produce it and sacrificed its original quality with a meat content as low as 45%, containing emulsified rather than coarse-cut meat and being sold in thin links rather than thick continuous lengths."
Harrumph.
- an irate Cumbrian.

Said everyone, every year.
I was going to say this, but was beaten to it.

Ah, but is it the forum that's changed or is it you?
I've always treated STW as an extended mates club. Go for a ride, pop to the pub, have a bit of a laugh. Inevitably there are times when the conversation turns a bit more serious; marital problems, health, financial, tyre choice etc. and in those times we respond accordingly. The rest of the time, expect banter and to have the piss ripped out of you mercilessly.
Now, I know that hasn't always worked on here (I've already apologised to Kryton57 for what he saw as me having a serious go at him) and I'll offer a wider apology here too to anyone else I'm not quite sharing wavelength with.
As Junkyard and I discussed over a real drink in a real pub, I tend to read everything as if it has a smiley attached. I reckon a few others should adopt the same approach.
Quorn wild garlic and parsley sausages are the nearest I've got to sausages in the last 9 months.
So, to summarise the thread in Haiku......
Bear likes sausages.
Drac has already seen some.

SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGE SAUSAGES!
a Moderator getting a random out-of-context kicking who isn't me
In the years I've been here that's never happened to you.
With all due respect, I think I'm in a far better position to gauge my own experiences than you are.
As the highest profile mods on here, neither you nor cougar can really be seen as neutral in your moderation of posts given the tone of a lot of your own content.
I've said this several times before, but the majority my posts are as a user just as yours and everyone else's are. Should I not be allowed to be as opinionated and sarcastic as everyone else, or be allowed to have a bad day occasionally?
Someone said earlier something like "he's a mod, so what can you do?" - you can still report posts. I'd have no qualms about warning / banning Drac if needs be and I'd hope he'd say the same of me. (I once tried to ban myself but the system wouldn't let me...)
Anyway. A thread on sausages and one on mash running concurrently? Must be an omen, I know what I'm having for tea tonight.
Can you use your Mod powers to combine the threads in to a bangers and mash super thread? If you can't I'm going to report you for inefficiency 😉
If I could it'd all be gravy.
With all due respect, I think I'm in a far better position to gauge my own experiences than you are.
Quite right. What I meant is I've never read anything that could be construed as a kicking. Perhaps you're one of those snowflakes which Druid referred to earlier... 😛
I know what I'm having for tea tonight.
The suspense is killing me....what you having?
We don’t sell crab cakes in a sausage factory.
(Was in my clipboard. Seemed apt. )
Do you do duvets?
You'll have to ask a Scouser.
They do do duvets though don't they.
Teasal - I have seen cougar get a bit of a kicking and have to apologise for his behaviour.
I'd have no worries calling him out if I thought he was being a richard. I am quite confident he would treat me fairly.
It's the secret mods like Onion you have to watch out for.
Hiding in plain sight....sausage in hand.
Onion?
Over the years quite a few folk have speculated on the identity of the Moderators who choose to remain anonymous. I don't think anyone's ever guessed correctly yet, or at least if they have I've never seen it.
Is it Jimmy Savile?
Ooh hidden mods. This place is getting more exciting
Is it Jimmy Savile?
Now then.

They walk among you. It's basically a Poundland They Live.
The rest of the time, expect banter and to have the piss ripped out of you mercilessly.
Well said. A new sticky for the rules - you're not one of the chosen few are you Scotty?!?
This is a MTB forum after all FFS - just look at what we wear and do. No right to be taken seriously at all, by anyone 😉
Ignore the people you don't like, relax and have a giggle and a sausage or two
