At Moont towers it's usually, 'What would 'the bikers' do / say?'
Does your household have a 'special' name for here?
You had to ask.
Social-retard-world
We don't discuss it.
The First Rule of STW is....
It's just 'the forum'
I think it probably helps Mrs yunki to try to view us as ancient Greek philosophers rather than the socially inadequate nerds that she knows deep in her heart to be what we truly are..
Stepson doesn't have a word for it, just a particularly derisory sneer
The First Rule of STW is....
🙂
Single 'tard world
"singleladsworld"
Thats what the Mrs's calls it 😆
Dirt Box World.. And I have no recollection of how it came to be named that!
Or sometimes it's "are you on that stupid forum with your cool biker pals"
"the oracle." As in, I'll ask...
Dadsnet
A waste of @@@@@@@@ time
"those ****ers"
though my wife doesn't really have a name for it
That bike forum
I tend to use "the guys on the mountain bike forum reckon..."
Makes it sound more like having a chat with friends and a little bit less of a looser than,"addicted to reading about any old shit that a bunch of strangers write on a forum that's loosely centred on talking about riding bikes".
"Someone said" by me.
She refuses to acknowledge the existence.
Singletard
I read recently that...
Some people say that...
You lot are anonymous in my world 😉
"Your little friends"
Just "Singletrack". My mum was highly amused to find a forum post was very high on the list when she had issues with her coffee machine, and included the fix.
Some chap here called it something great recently, that I won't repeat again as when I did, it got deleted (and rightly so, ta for not warning/banning me whichever mod it was) - in the context of his 'rant' it was just right though. 🙂
Same Ten W(something)
EDIT: In other news, check out the bang-on-demographic cover of a stove brochure I was given today. 🙂

that bloody website
I remember someone saying his wife calls it singlechapworld 😀
Same as hts; "your friends" in tone of voice that implies they're the only ones I have.
Couple of lads at work call it "Single Lonely Bikers". Cheers lads..
The GF just tends to ignore its existence.
"hmph"
nag! nag! blah! blah! blah! 😀"...are you on that effing website again. You talk to them more than you talk to me!"
Your imaginary friends
"The Forum"
And it's said with the capital letters.
And you, McMoonter, are known as "That Woodpile Chap" 😆
Hi
My other half calls it "the mothers meeting"
I sort of get it sadly
Cheers
Steve
That nonsense..
****OS.
Lots of conversations start "There Was A Thread On Singletrack".
I think I need to reassess my life.
****OS
😀
"The wisdom of cyclists"
"the bike forum"
Nothing.
Eye roll only.
The hive mind... Almost every answer is here, on almost every Subject. It may not be the right answer or even the answer to the original question. But answers just the same. 😆
Not the forum, but Mrs Steve refers to the mag as "your comic". As in "I see your comic came in the post today".
Bit harsh, I feel.
The internet.
'singletrack' or 'the bike forum' - I am regularly asked to consult it on all sorts of topics, usually successfully.
I read recently that...Some people say that...
You lot are anonymous in my world
This. I prefer to keep my addiction secret.
The bloody bike site.
"my general bike forum"...
though it's odd how the points of connection aren't that large. I offloaded some retro bike parts to a guy off the CTC forum. Turns out he lived along my street. Met him few times since then, then turns out he's done some complicated multi-way bike swap deal with ... 'mcmoonter' (as in "the lad with the muckle piles of wood"..)
"your virtual friends"

It's a small world. He's a top bloke, I gave him my frame and headset press without a second's hesitation having only received a couple of emails and twenty minutes of chat. You know when something will have a positive outcome.
I recently sold my old Citroen to an elderly couple whose car had been stolen and torched. Their son is a mountain bike events organiser who frequents STW. He drove them over. He wasn't in the least interested in checking out the car his folks would drive back to Fort William, all he wanted to see were the woodpiles.
