[Closed] Forum members you'd like to go for a pint with.

In answer to my own post, what prompted this thread was, TJ.

Beyond that... Darcy, CountZero, Edukator, shit for all the grief I've given him over the years I'd really like to meet Chewkw.

I'd Poopscoop, Thols, Weeksy, whoever did the old mini rebuild was that Reluctant Jumper? I don't know what I could add to a conversation with any of them, but I find a lot of what they post interesting or amusing. And TJ, of course!

I don't know whether to be flattered or scared - wot meet real people in real life? Help ma boab!

I actually intend to do a uk tour in a few weeks and hope to meet up with bunch of you. Ha - call your bluff!

The same ones I always go for a ride & a beer with 😉

And I've already met TJ so 🤷‍♂️

Anyone really, cos no one is how they seem on forums.

I bet chewkw is a really nice guy.

I've been for pints with many forumistas, all of whom have been pretty decent folks to have a pint with.

Never Perchy though, not yet, but to be honest I think the overbearing sexual tension would just make it awkward.

AA and TJ at a Wales v Scotland game.....

WCA - but I'd keep a safe distance

kayak - for a pint from a jug laminated from wood, carved into a ridiculously intricate shape

I’d go for a drink with most of you. This place is mainly populated by people who’ll help out strangers and show compassion to people they’ve never met. I’m judging most of you are pretty nice.

I’ve only met a couple of forumites when I’ve sold, bought or given stuff away. All were genuinely nice people.

Slight derailment but do you ever meet people whilst you’re out and about, have a little chat and think they could be from here? I always want to ask but if they aren’t it would be weird to explain.

I'd go for a pint with mist of you horrible lit. I imagine only a few would get to second pint status.

I have asked folk a couple of times but what is scary is I have been spotted and called out for being TJ a few times. Just riding down a trail and a group coming the other way shouted " its TeeeeJaaaaay"

I would say none, but thats me being a social pariah intolerant of uncertainty. I’m the kind of person that’d never enter a speed dating environment.

However, everyone I’ve met across two forums has been a pleasure to meet, last having a ride/chat with Mr Lebowski and a beer with AA at the weekend.

Whenever I am leith way I hope I se you so I can shout "wear a helmet" I am always disappointed and slightly worried I'll choke when I finally happens... Or get my head kicked in by someone who isn't in fact you.

You could post a ‘was that you,the nice bloke I met out riding’ post 🙂

Most people tbf.

Met a fair few over the years and I'm genuinely surprised its been a bellend free experience.

Which makes me think..... am I the bellend?

^yes.

Shame I can't make it up to "Dunc Fest" this weekend. I hope that you and the other bell ends have a grand time.

@Cougar I've been for (a lot more than) a pint with TJ. Prepare to be disappointed 😅

I've also met quite a few other forumites, many of whom are now absent from here. Makes you think...

I predict epic levels of bell-endery

I've met loads of people off here for rides and pints over the years. All lovely.

I'd love to meet all the resident lefties* who I spend so much time calling arguing with on the politics threads. I've a vision in my head of what a number of them look like.

* Apart from DazH, obviously, who I regularly go out for rides and pints with, including last Sunday afternoon where, once again, we never ever talk about politics 🙂

I’ve done that, by Cramond Brig I seem to recall. Bloke on a tandem not wearing a helmet. The odds seemed pretty good.

Have been for a pint with a fair few, and have also made some good riding buddies.

If you ever think you have or may meet me i look like Uncle Festers evil twin...

Binners natch... although i think we have historically been in close proximity over many years at various Leeds "functions"

Also Drac although again i have my suspicions we have met in passing.

Never knowingly met a singletracker and i would like to keep my preconceptions intact.

somewhere there is a picture of a bunch of us standing outside a pub near rivington. right motley collection. I posted up I was going to be in the area and anyone fancy meeting for a spin. It looked rather like the excursion from " one flew over the cookoos nest"

If you ever think you have or may meet me i look like Uncle Festers evil twin…

So, like Binners then.

Bumped into Kryton at the Vittoria Marathon & would happily have a pint which him. Decent bloke 👍.

TiRed as well - to say thanks for his posts & his work. Lunge gets an honourable mention for his TDF posts.

I wonder how many people are lurking in this thread wondering if their name might come up. Like the last kid to get picked in PE.

Are they relieved, or disappointed to remain anonymous?

I have been on a fair few STW rides of various sorts - we used to run a regular night ride in Edinburgh which often ended in the pub.

I can say hand on heart everyone has always been lovely and via STW I have ridden in parts of the UK I never would have otherwise

Anyone - I have no friends, that's why I comment on things on the internet 😁

Also noone, I'm a recluse, that's why I comment on things on the internet.....

I've met a few off here buying and selling, and ridden with a couple who became good mates.

There's very few I'd not want to meet, even the ones I've properly disagreed with over the years, as much to see what their life experience has been to make their view so different from mine.

I procrastinate here a lot but never really look at the usernames, just scanning through the ones on here, some maybe a bit more familiar than others but ive no idea who any of you are, what you may have posted about previously or what your 'forumality' is like? id be happy to go for a pint with anyone tho!

I think "a pint" is a bit unfair, I mean, for arguments sake, I'd quite like to go for *a* pint with corbyn just to see if my impressions of him are accurate. I don't imagine I'd stop for a second.

That being said I'm also much more inclined to be fussy about the pub than the people. I'd probably accept an invite to a decent tap room with farage* before I'd go to a flat roofed pub with Ranulph Fiennes.

So in summary, I'd go for a pint with any of you assuming the beer is poncey enough.

Binners. In the Rose and Crown, Ramsbottom. I'd bring a copy of the Guardian with me, so that I could be easily identified. 😉

I worry at times that i've met a fair few from here... but most haven't seemed to want to meet up again after that... So i wonder if i'm the problem 🙁

Are you under duress? Is he there now forcing you to say that?

I've met a disproportionate number of people who've been banned from here, does that count?

+1 & they are buying!

Genuinely, I would love to have a pint with most of you even those who I've had oppositional interaction with in the past - (TJ, Mefty, Edukator etc), for the most part you all seem like a pretty decent bunch.

I'll have my Daily Mail with me. We can compare notes 😀

seriously considering a burner account just to send myself some love :p

Crivens - me mefty and edukator in the same room?

Actually like others I have respect for many I have crossed swords with on here

My experience is that I've always got on really well with people I've met IRL after squabbling with them on the interwebs - probably says that we have more in common than we disagree about.
