MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I am sitting in a queue. I have a numbered ticket. There is a glass screen seperating the staff from us plebs.
About 50% of the staff are just gawping at the queue. I've been waiting ten mins and apparently have another 7 to go.
I'm bored
passport office?
STD Clinic ?
Close
Post Office?
job centre?
Post Office?
Bank?
DVLA?
Australia Foreign / Immigration Office or whatever it's called...
Outside the gates to heaven?
At the new Glen Tress cafe?
The woods behind nationwide in Swindon?
Or JFK
tescos dairy counter?
FFS the suspense is killing me!
A&E?
A particularly popular choice in the Red Light District in Amsterdam?
Riding The Gap?
Argos?
Kwik Fit?
cash4gold?
Whore house?
prison visit?
A chippy in Lower Broughton, Salford?
I kid you not - full height security screens and a little hatch.
Nice.
About 50% of the staff are just gawping at the queue.
Gotta be the job centre.
Taken by aliens somewhere over Putney?
Cash Generator
(Salford Shopping City branch) 😛
derek_starship - you do travel in some very exclusive circles sir 🙂
Got to be a DVLA office somwhere
VD Clinic ?
Popemobile?
Swiss suicide clinic?
Railway station?
Do we get an answer?
Evans?
Onzadog - MemberDo we get an answer?
I guess not if he is at a suicide clinic?
😉
sperm bank - he's not managing to produce the goods hence the delay
Apple Store waiting for your turn at the Genius Bar? (or whatever its called)
metro? or amusement park ?
{spam removed - user blocked - Mod}
^^^^ <sucks air> - is that crossing the line??
What? The linkything?
Yeah - is that going to appear in every one of his posts??? Some of the advertisers on here have paid good money for their ads (as we are reminded anytime the issue of applying 'electronic eye bleach' is raised.... 😉
Obviously too crappy a business to understand target market perceptions and do proper marketing
Yeah but no worse than the blatant promotion of Ragley, On-One, Superstar, several bike shops etc. But that's ok, no?
And it's just a link, you're not obliged to click on it. Several people have their username link to their businesses anyway.
It's Capitalism, innit? Every dog for himself.
Cheapest coffe online? Maybe. Your offer of Douwe Eggberts 250g at $6,39 +p&p plus 2 business days for picking and 3 days for shipping plus shipping costs OR I go to the local supermarket pick it off the shelf and have in my hand within 10mins for 2,50€. No contest really, must be the advertising costs which are bumping up your prices, no?
And OP are you waiting in line at the local soup kitchen?
Blatant advertising and looking for any post just to post his link to a crappy site.
GTFO!
Nevermind that - where the hell is Pook?
Hello all.
I'm back at my desk. Did I miss something?
Yeah but no worse than the blatant promotion of Ragley, On-One, Superstar, several bike shops etc. But that's ok, no?
I think to begin with some people start with a bit of banter and then throw their links into a relevant thread. Not stick it on the bottom of everythread, relevant or not, from day 1. Of course some people abuse the thread.

Yeah, it's cheeky, but in fairness, Troutie has used this from as a means of promoting his own business, albeit in a far less blatant manner. I don't think Troutie expected things to take off so well, and I don't think he deliberately used the forum to get free promotion, but he has benefitted from using STW, without paying for advertising. Not knocking Troutie at all, good on him, but I'm just using that as an example.
The only thing that San4os is guilty of is being crap at being subtle.
I feel hoodwinked I've just spent $50 of cheap coffee I didn't want and I still don't know where Pook was 🙁
Was he in Starbucks ??
I think [url= http://www.superstarcomponents.com/ ]SuperStar[/url] can be accused of abuse as he clearly set out to use the [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/ ]forum[/url] for marketing, I'm not sure if that's the same for [url= http://troutie.com/ ]Troutie[/url] though, he was a hobbyist and it grew from there. If I recall [url= http://www.ragleybikes.com/ ]Ragley[/url] was set up by [url= http://twitter.com/shedfire ]Brant[/url] after he had become well known for his exploits with [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/ ]On-One[/url].
As you say, you can choose to hit the link or not.

I'm not revealing anything about myself.
They don't care any more Pook.
Slagging people off is far more interesting. 8)
Don Simon; it's ok for you to post a link because it's all in foreign so no-one on here can understand it anyway! 😀
Just clicked on the 'simoncarter' link 😯
WTF is that!!
It's like a f***ing eye test!
Sort your fonts out dude!
Hey Pook, where did your DVLA post go??
Or have just spoiled it for everyone? 😳
Yeah, sort yer fonts out ffs.
Binners, 'ave a word will you? 🙄
Don Simon; it's ok for you to post a link because it's all in foreign so no-one on here can understand it anyway!
😆
What's the problem dude??? Could you be a little less specific, please?
I still want to know where Pook was, still think it might have been something like a passport office.
It's been bloody edited.

No he was in the DVLA, but he's edited his post.
As PeterPoddy says, slagging people ff is far more interesting. At the moment, we're attacking poor Don Simon.
Mind you, he does deserve it for his gratuitous and unnecessary use of different sized fonts. 😀
I think it looks cool. 😀 😳
You're just so oldfashioned in your backward little island, you should embrace Europe.

Well, it appears the resident grumpies have spoken...... a ban after 1 post for san4os - is that a new record?!?!?
I think it looks cool.
Well it doesn't, it's arse!
Since when has Europe been COOL?? I know it may have somethings that it can be complemented about (eg weather, bigger mountains, some decent beaches, interesting history, better looking birds (in places) etc) but it is way off being cool!
Anyone want to buy $50 of coffee?
I was first to say DVLA. What do I win Pook? I want a prize for winning your little compo.
You can have $50 of coffee. 😉
What did I do here today?
Onza - you can have my ticket I got for waiting
Should I be proud? I blame the DVLA.

Still nothing consructive, though! 🙄
But you are very funny.
