If you only read one thread about lazy tropes today...

Are you new here?

Why yes. Yes, it has.

You're trying to become a big hitter, aren't you?

What tyres for lazy tropes?

ps ur tropes iz sarcin

What's the difference between a trope and a meme?

What tyres for lazy tropes?

E-tyres, obvs!

I'm not actually asking for myself. It's for my brother-in-law

Not even a real Panther etc etc.

Yes, it's a bit dull atm. I've taken up tailgating and macrame in a futile attempt to fill the void.

Many of our more eccentric brethren have moved on. Too much middle class conformity, not enough fish puns.

Why yes. Yes, it has.

Applaudz.

Dyson.

Well, it is a cycle forum.

Tell me what a "trope" is and I'll try to answer.

Here! You nicked my word. hmph.

😂 @cynic-al!

Tell me what a “trope” is and I’ll try to answer.

It's Northern for The Rope.

Sheep's stomach.

Apparently there's a forum as well as a magazine..

Slim pickings amongst Big Hitters also, but there are some still giving it beans.

Thank cod for that, I'm a dab hand at puns, it's the sole reason I keep carping on about stuff here.

I'd try a shellfish pun but I'm worried I'd either clam up or pull a mussel.

Do we own him with bombers or wee in his shoes?

I feely admit to being one of the worst offenders.

Yes, as is every other forum though.

We do seem to have skipped the 'it comes earlier every year' thread when the supermarkets put up the Xmas aisle, they've been up a week or more and not a peep.

I miss the Octopron.

I'm avoiding the shops 'till the snow updates have begun.

Anyway, it's Friday… new Orbital album, pizza, Nanny State (later).

Yeo, it was never like that in the past when we had Friday Kylie, EDL, badger badger, mint sauce, conti verts, slats, arrgh my eye, Friday and I'm bored.

I think this forum has become  a home for lazy cyclists

Sainsbury's had Xmas puddings 2 weeks ago.

I'll answer when I've finished vacuuming my new slippers 🙂

Apparently there’s homepage!

Endlessly repeating lazy.....pick two

Hang on, I'm going to start a new thread about
Has this forum become a repetitive cycle of endlessly repeating lazy troops?

This plaice!

An e-biker stole my KOM on Strava, just wait till you see what happened next.

Apparently there’s a forum as well as a magazine..

Fur coat no knickers if you’re eating tripe.

I’ll answer when I’ve finished vacuuming my new slippers

Worth the "P" fee just to read that as it reminds me i need new slippers!

Obvious trope is obvious

Stop moaning, if you don't like it read on.

I'll start a Friday thread though.

If those fish puns were actually funny I expect I'd have spat tea all over my keyboard.

Shorely if the fish puns were funny you would have spat artisan coffee all over your mechanical keyboard?

By way of a futile attempt at an answer to the OP (original panther)...yes, this place has become a self-fulfilling prophesy of middle class and argumentative tripe, or trope.

I like the the 'size' of it here and have no problem with the same topics that occur (guilty of myself), but what's becoming rapidly crap and the reason <flounce alert> I stopped my subscription is the few posters that absolutely drown the place like they are here 24/7 - nearly every topic there is, the same few posters just post their crappy self-righteous opinion in there - with bugger all attempt at humour or respect for others - simply a vacuous post.

Yes PP you are a splurge-gun of puns, mildly tiresome at times (but sometimes genius), yet I'd take you any day of the week over the self-righteous bores that have no self-regulation of their posts that, for me, are making this place into a ****-fest of high horse bollocks that make it not worthwhile flicking through for chuckles.

I do largely approve of the recent bans, so I can't be alone in this 🙂

Obvious trope

Can I borrow it?

The last original thing on here was Cougar's lactose intolerant joke.

And he's repeated that about a dozen times.

You need to get ill in a more imaginative manner.

but what’s becoming rapidly crap and the reason <flounce alert> I stopped my subscription is the few posters that absolutely drown the place like they are here 24/7 – nearly every topic there is, the same few posters just post their crappy self-righteous opinion in there – with bugger all attempt at humour or respect for others – simply a vacuous post.

I hope that's not me, but I'm worried it might be. If so, just tell me to shut up for a bit. I haven't posted anything original for years, with the exeption of the odd haiku.

Not a joke btw, if I put people off posting, just let me know.

Funnily enough, I'm actually back in hospital, narrowly avoiding losing digits, but didn't start a thread as i assumed folk were sick of it (i certainly am!)

Cable! Direction! Corbyn!

No mate, of course not.

Your serious medical issues are a constant source of hilarity and amusement  🙂

mildly tiresome at times

Exactly what I was going for.

Nailed it.

OK - that's not how it looked in preview.

Damn, and it was such a funny comment. No, really, it was....

I'll have "Endlessly lazy" please, Bob.

Is this the place to complain that I keep seeing ads for gay cruises on the right sidebar over there-----> ??

It's not that I'm offended, just I don't like STW making assumptions about me, y'know?

Doh, can't work out how to insert smileys in the new forum, so, uh 😉

ETA: omg, it worked!

Thank the lord for 8.5%abv coz I'm sozzled

Yes .

There's always Mumsnet. 🙂

I love the fish puns btw 🙂
