It's just, I thought it was like a mountain bike place, but I notice the ads on the right are for old peoples insurance and anti cellulite stuff and other weird things I've now forgotten cos they are not on the screen, so are mountain bike people all old and wrinkly now?
Who actually does ride mountain bikes?
Is there, was there a thread where everybody introduced themselves, like us new people, how many people here are new like me?
Where does everybody ride? Do you get together, I can tell from reading some of you know each other, but i guess lots don't.
I know nobody wants to 'come out' with their real name because of work issues and stuff, but it would probably be a friendlier place for new people if there were somewhere they could go, like maybe here or some other thread if there is one.
But what's with the anti cellulite, who is that for?
PS sorry if this has already been done somewhere else and I missed it.
you do realise the ads are based on your browsing history, nothing to do with STW....?
self incrimination....
are the adds not based on your browsing history?
The ads are clever..... They know where you've been browsing and advertise something similar!
Who's got cellulite in your family?? 😉
[i]who is that for?[/i]
do any women use the pc you're currently on?
LOL! 3 Identical replies in 30 seconds! Class! 🙂
Is there anyone in particular that you fancy meeting up with? Someone caught your eye, perhaps? Do you normally do it on your own or in groups? Perhaps you've got a video on youtube that we can see of you doing it. Would you be happy to ride in a group where pinkis the lycra colour of choice?
Anti-cellulite cream is quite good for saddle sores, which might explain it being there.
No , no mountain bikers here .
Move along now.
[i]I know nobody wants to 'come out' with their real name because of work issues and stuff[/i]
lots of people aren't too bothered or have their real name in their email addresses but don't actively make a point of advertising their real life.
It can make it awkward when you meet people or go around their house for the first time;
*knock knock*
*woman answers door*
"Errrm, can vladthedestroyer come out for a bike ride please?"

Hi,
I use Emsz as it was a joke between me and my GF and partly on what some of old friends call me.
Cosmetic surgery now, who are you people?
ots of people aren't too bothered or have their real name in their email addresses but don't actively make a point of advertising their real life.
Yeah that's me really. 🙂
LOTS AND LOTS of people meet up though, there's a forum ride tomorrow actually, I'll be there.
In all seriousness, I must have met 100+ people off/via STW and made some good mates! 😀
I love these threads - who was it that complained about the gay pron adverts?
there's a forum ride tomorrow actually, I'll be there.
Is there? Where is that happening?
Edit: actually I've got to go now hadn't noticed the time, it's friday, sunny, the dog, a nice long ride and the pub beckons, I'll be back later to find out where that ride is..
My current one says:
"CORSICA, bousculez vos sens".
No way am I ever setting foot on that island.
You can probably guess my name. I'm not a middle aged IT middle manager and I don't drive an Audi. I haven't been for a ride with anyone on this forum but I have met people from other forums to go riding.
Yup, it looks like some of the ads on stw (particularly on the right) are sold through ad networks, as it's a cheaper, easier way to monetise the page. These networks, as previously pointed out, track your behaviour and assume you fall into various target audiences. For the last month or so I've been followed round by ads telling me I could improve my golf swing...
As for who I am, just your average internet sexual predator, me. 8)
Amelia.Hi,

Emetic?
Clue's in my name really.
However, turns out I know quite a few on here but just haven't connected their forum name with the 'real' them, suspect there may be a few more I don't know about still.
my ads aren't based on what i browse for. i always get sky and stuff like that. which i have never ever done a search for in my life.
Is there a problem with being an old, wrinkly mountain biker??
Oddly enough.....I use my real name on here and other forums, but not in the real/work world where I have a another nicely Anglicized name. Which works nicely for me.

For my chosen forum persona yes I'm afraid there is.
He's already producing a list.

Should I add you to the old and wrinkly bit? 😉
I demand to be put on the uncool list! By the way, philconsequence is about eleven, not really old or wrinkly.

You're going to get quite lonely and bored on here, arent you?

Dude you shop at Aldi don't talk to me, people are watching.. 😉
My name really is Rachel - I have the receipt and everything... 🙂
Don't worry, just downloading killfile as we speak. 😛
Well my ads aren't very clever. 4 out of 6 are pushing sky tv or broadband, which I already (regretfully) have. The other ones are telling me to subscribe to singletrack magazine, which I already do. Hang on, maybe they're REALLY clever...
Just had, at the top right, a picture of a girl's bum with a flashing light on it. I've neer googled that. Or Sky either.
Well, there's an advert over there now informing me I should 'love my breasts'. Believe me, if I had some, I wouldnt take much persuading!
Makes mental note not only is barnsleymitch not cool but probably a trannie.
what's a trainie????

Seems to be working fine. 😀
Yay, i made a list! An uncool list made by someone called Derek 😆
I may be old and wrinkly but I am so cool I have to warm my beer and so hip I can't see out of my own pelvis
I'm a bit gutted not to be on the list now...
Rachel
Hey Andrewh, I just had the flashing girl's bum too! Do you think it's something to do with being called Andrew 😀
No girl's bums for me. 🙁
Rachel
That ladies derrière avec la lumière has given up on me, i did find it weird though.
The list Derek was saving for later when he's finished his studies, to be on it at this stage simply admit to buying some cycling stuff from Aldi, it is not finished and probably has more names yet to be gleaned from the Aldi thread.
What language is that second paragraph?
I think it's the post pub language...
Ah - that would explain it. Maybe he didn't find a tranie down there and now he's upset??
Rachel
Apparently, I'm on my very own trainee trannie list. Now that is cool!
Yes, maybe he's stabbing at F5 in frustration trying to get the girl's bum to flash again 😕
I demand to be added to the list.
You Arse.
;O)

But you own a Harley and a Buell, so cannot be anything else but totally cool, a person like me cannot be concerned about Gender issues..
You see derek, that's just it, Harley's definitely arent cool. I love 'em, but they're not cool. Buells, maybe. Cool, but very, very unreliable.
I think you're in there, mitch...
Best get the missus to knit me a predatory trannie outfit!
I can lend you some size 9 heels if you want - any bigger I'll have to ask a friend...
Rachel. I'm torn between arousal and fear! 😉

Cool Harley
When you're ready Mitch you could always visit my friend [url= http://www.missvera.com ]Miss Vera[/url]
Sorry Derek, but that looks like it came from Aldi - you're heading for "The List"
That would be a Rotax derek. Built under license for the U.S army. Load of old s***e. 😀
My adverts are all for "Pedro Poddy's sexy dating agency and massage parlour".
But that's cos I've been googling "sexy + massage + Poddy"....
DrP
Quality stw thread. Good effort derek but you're so far out of your depth inflatable held and a basque wouldn't help you. The funny thing is you don't know it yet...... But you will in a few months time when you look back. 😉 welcome btw

hello,
my names phil, i'm enthusiastic and its rare my contributions are overly sensible - often consisting of images and/or bad recycled in-jokes. if they are sensible its in response to a sensible thread that requires empathy, honesty and proper advice. i organise big forum rides and the 3rd one is today, the past 2 rides i've organised have had over 100 STW members turn up in total.
the only advice i can give you is to watch out for barnsleymitch, he'll end up at your door in a knitted french maid outfit with a chicken under one arm and a frost bitten white towel under the other.
welcome x
Even though you cant see me phil, I want you to know that right now, I'm shaking my fist at you in a 1970's Reg Varney / On the buses stylee!
Hello
My names Dan, some people call me Zoolander and some people call me Bob.
Incedentally I have a friend who may have some size 10 high heels.
Also my cat just fell of the bed and it was quite amusing.
My adverts are Uber dull
I'm your mum.. stop stalking me online.. I've told you about it before Derek..
I can't marry you 'cos I'm your mum.. Don't you think it's time that you went out and met some girls of your own age..?
Nothing but ING. Nothing else. Just ING. All the time. ING.
ING Direct savings and Audi cars .....I am a marketing man's dream,middle class, middle aged ,middle income ,middle of the road STWer
Yeah ING
And the occasional mtb school ad, my clever iPhone has been on rides with me and has clearly worked out that I'm crap at riding and in need of lessons.
hey b'mitch!

I'm a dog. Wuff. Still get Ing ads though...
So today pepper berry has designed stuff with my boobs in mind...
This gets worrying, thanks all for the welcome.
Erm there's just one thing, I don't always 'get' Northern speak.. this phrase from deepredave.
"inflatable held and a basque" is that some Northern Mining expression us Southern Softie none miners don't get? 😕
I even googleyed it, it talks about somewhere in Northern Spain being blown up, terrorists I guess.
I didn't realise I'd have to also learn a new language to be here...
All very intimidating.
I'm not on the list. Does that mean I'm not allowed in? 🙁
I'm in the uncool list? I had a number of chart hits in the 1970s, including the best Christmas song ever, better even than Slade, or Cliff Richard's.

Just let the OP believe you do the shopping at ALDI.
I'm really called Susan and a petite blonde. I do rather like mountain bikes though although some of the boys on here can be bit crude, it's a lovely place to visit

No dude being on "the list' as it stands at the moment is not a good thing, it wasn't/isn't finished I updated it a bit and I will switch people around if they do cool stuff, that Phil Consequence did organise a ride so he could be redeemed, maybe go to some charisma restoration centre, I'm new these are all immediate assumptions, I could be wrong, but I won't be they did all openly admit to shopping for cycle gear in Aldi which is definitely not cool, so I put them on the uncool list, so i don't get caught hanging out with them or anything that might make me catch uncoolness..

Dude you did, i was your greatest fan, you live down the road from me, but er that stuff you did in vietnam dude, not judging or anything but, not entirely cool.
I've always been undecided 😕
Sorry Derek, my inflatable error was more typo than northern hard talk. As inflatable errors go that doesn't even make my top 5. I think you're in danger of becoming stw's own Jeremy Clarkson ie your uncool becomes the new cool. You're not the Derek from Big Brother are you?
