MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
They 'seem' ok online, you 'think' maybe you could put up with them for a few hours on the bike. You risk frostbite and go ahead with the ride. Then they go and put their ****ing jam on the scone before the clotted cream, creating a god awful mess in an otherwise quaint Cotswolds tea room. FFS.
You don't believe in love at first sight then?
Those that I have met (or even dealt with by email when buying/selling) all seem like suprisingly normal polite people.
it's complicated DS
did they say 'scoNN' or 'scOne'?
yeti has never failed to be anything but a disappointment in real life. i would've told you but i didnt want to risk emailing you with the police watching your various inboxes.
(have a fun ride!)
don't start down the scone argument again, were been there and done it & it caused all kinds of upset.
And that could lead on to the whole barms/baps/buns/teacakes thing
*shudders*

Okay, then I'll just say this: if he said scOne and put the jam on first, he was entirely in the right.
And anyway, I thought iDave didn't let people eat scOnes or jam?
All good guys in real life that I have met - however few look look like the picture my imagination has created for them.
Pook should have looked like a wookie and DrP should have been twenty years older and in tweeds.
Cream teas are permitted half way through 48 miles in the winter. Cake would have been better.
I don't think I've met any forumites who have been cocks in real life, they've all been good people - even those who are (or were) complete and utter tossers on the forum

I would agree, with one exception who was pretty much as I expected he would be.

Is the truth. You 'seemed' OK iDave but it turns out you are the dodgy one 😯

Have we met? 😳
People are always much nicer in person than on the internet - with the exception of online dating where everyone is perfect online and rather 'normal' / 'screwed up' offline 😉
Anyone else disappointed that this wasn't stalker related?
lol he is riding with yeti.... are you sure its not stalker related?
[i]Have we met?[/i]
Thankfully not 😉
It was a cool (-3c) ride, the yeti behaved himself most of the time and I am willing to overlook the scone incident and my legs are sore.
At least they didn't demand the finest wines in the world, here and now.
did he turn up in shorts and a short sleeve on-one top, despite it being -3c?
You have to put jam on the scone first then cream. If you put a proper amount of cream on then try to add a bit of jam it can get messy.
FWIW the few people I have met from on here I have found them to be pleasant without exception. I have also discovered a few people I ride with lurking under alias's then confessing their forum names to me during conversations!
smee is as much of a cock in real life 😀
tj is not as grumpy in real life -even if the first time you meet is 3am at strathpuffer and his pit crew have given you his sheep jacket because you were hypothermic.
Hmm technically the clotted cream should act as the 'butter' then a smidgeon of jam if we're being polite which I can't see anyone off here being since my impression is most are Children or not least mental age of slightly retarded child with the occasional exception of intelligence of the sort that is normally accompanied by a special chair and a head tapper and or excess grease and spots.
Children = anyone under 39.
sheep jacket.... not herd of that brand!

Its [i]Scone[/i] as in, it's not there anymore...

Are full stops being rationed where you live? Here, have some of mine to cut and paste . . . . . . . . . . . . .

*stands up proudly*
My name is Debs and I put my jam on my scone (said scon not scown) before my cream as if you splodge heavy jam onto soft cream it gets very messy....
*sticks out chin defiantly*
😉
Then they go and put their **** jam on the scone before the clotted cream
Clotted cream is disgusting. Just jam and butter please!
jam and butter? that's not metal!
crushed bat and marmite on your scone is the way forward.

poor bats...... 😥
poor marmites! the most hated and loved type of mite in equal measures.
I just googled images of mites to find a funny photo... I so wish I hadn't *scratches head*
I'd rather eat termites than marmites!
And jam and butter is metal. Jam represents the blood of conquered, and butter represents... er, the purloined dairy products of the conquered?
I don't wanna know what cream is then.......

There's no nice way to put this: have you been drinking love?
I haven't met anyone from the forum yet (aside from jedi), however in order to save disappointment everyone should understand I am an objectionable arse.
There's no nice way to put this: have you been drinking love?
I'm not sure how to answer this. If the question is:
"have you been drinking, love?"
...then I do have a nice cup of tea at hand.
If the question is:
"have you been drinking love?"
That's a bit bloody personal!
[i]"have you been drinking, love?"

Would that be like one of my Aunty Lou's 'cups of tea'. Where there was a tea cup, but the contents were clear. And smelled of gin? 🙂

I don't drink alcohol at all - I've never even been drunk. Given the amount of nonsense I spout fully sober, this is probably to the benefit of all...

Is that all jam or only strawberry and raspberry?
Is that all jam or only strawberry and raspberry?
...
There's other kinds?
blackcurrant is the only true jam.
sweet but with that slight edge of acitdity that gives it some bite.
There's other kinds?
Goes to check.....
....... err. No
To be honest I was so worried I'd got frost bite 'somewhere' that I forgot proper scOne etiquette, I didn't even use the little serving spoons 😳
Anyway, how has a thread about me turned into a discussion about scones... maybe if I mention to Molly that I've just run a 5k in 22:31 we can get this thread back on track...
I've just had a lovely massage and don't care about scones anymore. I think TSY was being kind by not killing me on the hills. What with me being an old bloke.
well i dont an on-one 456, rigid, singlespeed , steel, titanium or drop bars on my mtb so i guess im screwed on here?
dare i say it but does anybody ride a specialized or trek? (sorry!)
..sorry i forgot inbred (still not sure what that is?!) 😆
Yeti you won't win. That time on the bike was an exception.
iDave/TSY was it on or off road? do you have the route in an electronic guise anywhere?
Molly - that time on the bike... I'd been on the uplift allday first 🙂
Today I did a 48 miler first 🙂 You need to go on mIdiet... tis the only way!
Quite surprised at how many hills there were tbh iDave... I've got the route loaded onto Garmin Connect but no idea how to get it electronically on to here. dirtbiker - it was on road.
My endomondo gave us more miles, I'm going with 49.7
what is andypaul99 whittering on about?
Hang on - 50 miles on road and you are complaining?
iDave are you doing that Dragon ride for sure then?
Now that's a happy ending....
Who's complaining MG?
Actually I complained a bit about it being a unfeasibly cold.
50 mile bike ride, scones with jam and cream, hot tea.
you pair of lucky barstewards........... 😀
When are you two cowboys coming to Wales for a ride?
I need to train up a bit more MG before hitting the valleys
ton, a massage as well 🙂
Get cracking then!
Or, don't worry about it I wouldn't rip your legs off even if I could. The competitive stuff on here is just to wind Yeti up 🙂
It doesn't wind me up... it makes me stronger 😆
blackcurrant is the only true jam.
Does it represent the poorly oxygenated blood of the conquered?
iDave has your young un had any joy with medical school yet? Slightly off topic I know...
stick it on Strava...I've got the route loaded onto Garmin Connect
jet26, yes thanks, she's had 2 offers!
Great news. Well done. It's a great job when all the bloody politicians stop interfering for five minutes...
Scones? We only get small rocks up here........but it's still always jam before cream, we're not savages.
[b]andypaul99 - Member[/b]dare i say it but does anybody ride a specialized or trek? (sorry!)
The former - a carbon S-Works 6"'er (does have a skinny steel Kona though)
...and it's scone - because it's spelt like stone!!!!
JAM BEFORE CREAM, YOU MOTHERS
...and it's scone - because it's spelt like stone!!!!
And gone. 🙁
Milkie - i have not seen that before - am crying with laughter 😀 😆
