I set them up….
I could tell...
Anyways, what happened to the druidh geezer, he was right tosser. I’m glad he left....
Actually let’s not kick him in his absence OR defend him.
He is an ex forum member.
He has ceased to be.
Yes. Can we not slag off people who don't have right of reply please, it's not fair.
I’m going to add my friend faerie who seems to have been banned (for calling out racism).
That is absolutely not why she was banned and the decision has now been overturned as you can see. I would sincerely hope that anyone who's been here more than 30 seconds would not even remotely think that might be something that would ever happen.
Regardless of subject we are not in the business of censorship, sweeping difficult topics under the carpet rather discussing it openly and hopefully changing minds does no-one any favours.
And as I said on another thread, please use the "report post" button if something is Wrong.
And Rorshach
I see him 'liking' Introvert's Are Awesome posts on Facebook!
Snakebite is probably fishing (Hi Dave)
iDave looks to be getting a sun tan and pounding out some miles.
I'll always remember 'The Prawn' being a huge d:ck on-line and a great person in real life when he gave me the guided tour of Chicksands God knows how many years ago.
LGOM or IGOM for the really daft anti-biking trolling and banging on about horses on the North Downs? A looooong time ago but I seem to remember it being pretty hilarious.
I’m a cyclist (you’ve made me admit it)
Well I suppose one of us on here need to ride a bike.
Without naming names, because we all probably notice different people, but there's been a bit of a drop-off lately of some regulars?
Also recommend me an inflatable tent for occasional use. I can't be arsed to bump two threads.
Yes haven’t seen CFH in a while
CFH is active on twiter. I think he;s just moved on from STW
Preachy panther is awol
CFH is active on twiter. I think he;s just moved on from STW
He was banned from the member's lounge for poor taste in footwear....

Probably got bored with [i]those[/i] 2 same jokes on every thread. Had dismal taste in music anyway. 😛
He couldn’t stand the shame of being downgraded to a BA bronze card holder
I thought he was off to find the last remaining pair of THOSE SHOES?
Is he AWOL 'cos he's trying to resolve the global shortage of Shimano components?

It’s a reoccurring theme, CFH shoes, Rentons dustbin, DD’s floorboard/leprechaun, lots of others before they go.
Oh and Pudding, before anyone else gets in before me.
i rode the jennride this weekend
bumped into a few old forumites
had a drink on friday night with a couple
a few more names were mentioned, most in very good light.
i was also asked on a few occasions, 'are you Ton off singletrack'.
which i kind of like.
long live stw.
I don’t know how anybody leaves, really: this site is such a part of my daily routine. Although I don’t really post much at all, I spend so much time reading threads that it would genuinely leave quite a void.
I’d probably get more into Reddit, or I suppose actually start talking to my wife sat next to me. 🙂
Nice one Ton,been tempted to head out on one of those rides.
Still wish I had made the effort(way back)on your touring weekender. 🙂

I read out STW threads to my wife - win win!
Have we considered accounts being inhabited by other people?
I haven't heard WorldClassAccident mention the Big Bike Bash for months. Apparently it is a really great bike event in the south of England (yes, the south does exist) where there is also a beer festival and a live music festival.
There are rumours that the mighty Ton attended one year and commented "not bad"
Anyway, why isn't WorldClassAccident promoting the BigBikeBash.rog.uk any more?
He seems to have moved on to promoting excellent but affordable art at NicksArtStuff.com
Can this be the same person?
Oh and Pudding, before anyone else gets in before me.
😀
anyone know where Stoner is?
anyone know where Stoner is?
I had a few pints with him in Brizzle a few weekends back. He’s in fine fettle, is under protection as an endangered species (lesser spotted Malvern Sasquatch), doesn’t STW no mo’, but is in very good form.
Not seen posts from DezB in a long time. Enjoyed his comedy bike fall video and music threads.
4 weeks since dezb posted.
MrsFry. Couldn't stop flirting with PerchyPanther
From his main account.
LOL. Subtle.
Does he still have a place in morzine?
Yup, in Montriond. Afaik, approx 13% of snowboarders in the area are now using Nazi mitts. 😂

MrsFry was great. She flounced when we didn't add 'bitch' to the swear filter. Not that the moderators ever had any control over that anyway. Shame.
We also seem to have lost nobeerinthefridge
I'll be seeing Stoner this summer in Morzine, I'll pass on the hellos but I don't expect him to post in honesty. That ship sailed

He always seemed to be under the curious impression this was a mountainbiking forum 😂
Is still running biking and mountain rescue training on Strava 👍
, approx 13% of snowboarders in the area are now using Nazi mitts. 😂
Haha excellent that made me chuckle. Mine are still going strong!
mandog, Trouty died a while ago,
What happened to the prawn?

Always sad to read something like that. I was just thinking reading this thread is a bit like reading the obituary pages but that's a little too close to home. There was a chap on here years ago (i had a ten year break) maybe around 2006, who had a rare form of bone cancer. I can't remember his name, maybe 'Bullheart' but his posts were always quite inspirational. I fear to ask the outcome of his situation but would like to know all the same.

Ah yes, I know. I was responding to the post asking about the guy who did the lights. I forgot to insert the quote

Yes he passed away a few years back. He is buried in a beautiful natural cemetery on the South Downs.
And yes he was indeed inspirational, although I never met him as a mark of respect I cycled down and attended his funeral.
Edit: His original username was Pete's gaff and he changed it to Bullheart after his heart was patched with bovine tissue.

Pass on a hello from me please. Stoner was a proper gentleman, I met him in real life, but I would imagine (whatever his reasons might have been) that the environment on here is now simply too hostile for a Tory voter to engage in debate, even for a Tory wet/Ken Clark supporter like Stoner.
Basically stw has been politically cleansed in recent years, which imo is a tragedy. Mainstream conservative opinions are hardly ever aired on here these days, I am amazed that mefty still occasionally bothers, although less and less. Which imo is a huge loss for stw.

LOL you should see what it's like on dating apps - the single most common refrain on profiles (apart obviously from 'not into ONS') is 'no Tories' (I've voted for all three main parties in general elections so not sure if that counts?)

Oh that's very sad, but not wholly unexpected I guess. I can imagine his funeral must have been quite something to attend.
Ken Clark
Part of the 80's gang of yobboes who put in place the attitudes that got us where we are today. The cleansing is due to there being no moderate Tories anywhere in mainstream politics (well unless we look at Sir Kier).
