MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So what makes STW uniquely STW - a small list to start you off:
Friday eating/drinking/listening threads
Friday Kylie/A&A
simonfbarnes' photos
A real sense of 'community' (including the aresholes 😉 )
SSC Bashing
White middle classness (sorry RudeBoy)
people who haven't got a freaking clue what they are talking about (although granted, that's the internet on the whole for the most part)
What tyres
Hmmmm, A&A......Now, what theme to follow on the morrow...?
I hate the Friday kylie / A&A threads - however its easy to ignore
Niches.
FACT
White middle class knobbers
Hora.
Socialist Utopian dreamers.
😉
faux "working class" chippyness
Upper class twits? 😉

Count me in here, nostalgia's not what it used to be when I were a lad tha' no's?
😆
LJ.
the people simply.
No matter you hate them or love them.
Removes such as rudeboy, CFH, Griz, poddy, hoora, SFB, TJ, rocketdog, WCA, SSP, sheldona, dezb, ton, druidh and the forum will become poo
Obtuseness.
and the lovely girls off here 😉
Slimy Frenchmen.
😉
People that would argue black was white to sound clever!
😉
CFH I don't think so to be honest.
When I left no one really noticed it...
Suits me fine though
owning with bombers springs to mind
some of the stw institutions are missing. Kluster popped up the other day, Bez seems to be MIA, chemo passed on to a better place, schali was quite probably put in a mental home
Big Bike Bash of course!
No no, Juan, I think the forum would work quite well without any of them. I normally find the best advice / humour on here tends to come from those who aren't quite so obvious...
STW is by far the most literate, eloquent and witty forum I've ever seen. It's a pleasure to read most of the time 🙂
And the diversity of advice on here is amazing. I get better car info off here than I do on forums dedicated to my specific car.
The forum gains its character from those who post on it. Some I enjoy arguing with, some just irritate me, one or two I could do without - but at a guess folk feel the same about me.
If you remove all the oddballs and numpties it would lose its character
but at a guess folk feel the same about me.
Very pertinent guess sir
The Rants. With all the mis-spelling, bad grammer and vitriol
And the fact that there's an alternative me on here who likes Coldplay
Picolax
We could rename it the Skoda Octavia owners club too
*awaits Hora's Czech tractor remarks*

The irony....!
The Badger
Gingerism
Like binners said, the vitriol.
The fact that whatever subject or item you might care to think of, however seemingly innocuous, there'll be somebody on here who passionately hates it - and be prepared to tell you why at great length.
Lists
I have to say you do get some god quality information on here. I have learnt stuff I didn't even know I wanted to learn
The sarcasm.
I lurked for yonks before daring to post (under my old name). Now been coming here nearly daily for the last 5+ years.
F***. That's a long time....
Oh, and I forgot fatism - never seen such loathing for our biffer chums.
Cressers [i]was [/i] an institution.
Now I suspect he's ....
..doomed?
Facha bashing
Excellent.
As a new member, this is exactly the information I needed in a nutshell.
Hello and as you were......
Forum threads about the forum/threads.
The 'net will eat itself.
Double Postings
So good you had to say it twice?
The "Worst Lycra" competition looks like my best opportunity of a prize.
Doling out punishment in the form of 'weeing in shoes' and 'owning with bombers'.
[i]The "Worst Lycra" competition looks like my best opportunity of a prize. [/i]
Only if you buy a ticket soon.
Planes on conveyer belts.
Fixie bashing
Fatsimon's marital comings-and-goings...
The (not so)closet roadies.
Of which there are many!
"Fella" not sure why!
Randomness would appear to be prominent.
Band wagons?
WCA - have you got a slowest "race"?
DezB - we have now. Trackstand sponsored by Perfect Balance Cycles

We could never do without you, TJ
🙄
Hit The North, surely?!
Weeing in shoes (someone might already have mentioned it, but I'm reading fast before scooting away for the weekend 🙂 )
Inverted snobbery
Before owning with bombers, there was (usually accompanying an exhortation to wee in shoes) also "punch them in the googlies".
Trackstand sponsored by Perfect Balance Cycles
we tried that at The World Cup in fort bill
world of pain. some kid will just do it indefinitely. i think it ended up being well over an hour and we had to end the contest early as it was getting silly.
Slowest rider without trackstanding?
The love of all things BMW.
And all the guys that could go the full distance with Mike Tyson if only they were'nt stuck in IT.
middle aged angst.
classifieds gripes....
He said dibs and didn't buy it boo hoo hoooooooo

Octoporn
The regional cliques and spotting the in jokes and p1ss takes within them.

Garden and garage advice in response to bike photos.

? I can think of 3 possible things that could refer to - an online retailer where Chipps worked which went bust, a (now renamed) trail at Afan and an AR team, but none of them particularly springs to mind as an STW institution.
Love of Brant and his new £200-or-so Ti handlebars.
Taka's wheeling and dealing.
RudeBoy's lefty'ism.
Hora's "[u]unusual[/u]" opinions.
And mostly the fact you bump into somebody, anybod from here and they're sane, well..., ish, very "ish".
All of the above.
