[Closed] What would happen if the regular posters on STW forum met in the pub?

Tables over, windows through I reckon.

It certainly wouldn't be pretty

Is that the Northern Contingent, Binners?

Hora would get a nasty Chinese Burn.

I'd be protecting the ladies and trying to get them out of harms way, me. 🙂

(Before running back into the melee screaming 'cahm on then you slaaags ooo wants sahm then?' with a bottle in my hand)

I reckon the non verbal communication which is missing on here would prevent too much mayhem

For example if I infuriated someone I could tell straight away from their face and diffuse it before they chucked me out of the window.

I once fed miketually too much Robinson's Unicorn and he was sick on the way back to Darlington.

That's how we roll in Manchestoh.

I tell it how I see it in real life too, thus sometimes upsetting (as well as maybe occassionally misguided). At least I'm not two faced.

I wonder how the mods would behave in public?

More likely to be a wine bar, surely 🙂

You're all lovely middle class boys aren't you?

It would be very polite ( until elfin arrives) LOL

How anyone behaves in a Robbinsons pub is a subject in itself.

I'd get really smashed on 4 pints of ale.. talk really loudly and enthusiastically for an hour or so and then dance badly for another..

After that I'd minesweep beers and and attempt to ponce shorts until ending up dribbling and growling incoherently as my expression swings between beatific and sneering disapproval every 47 seconds... probably skulking off home after a brief nonsensical argument with someone in a similar state..

a normal night out then really..

a bunch of us stw regulars meet up in the pub quite often.

we generally abuse each other and go out of our way to point out each others foibles.

just like here really.

It certainly wouldn't be pretty

Which begs the question, if STW was the Cantina scene from Star Wars, which poster would be which character?

Baggsy being the little bat-type thing (alas, not in shot).

If singletrack meet rides are anything to go by most wouldn't say a word and not make eye contact

Din't Salacious pop in now and then?

(Nasty little thing laughing at everyone but with a big fat bloke as back-up)

Chinese Burn

Lol rocketdog, I was thinking exactly the same thing!!

I'd warn against ever meeting up with World Class Accident. This can result in Olympic-level binge drinking, culminating in very nearly getting arrested. On a school night too 🙂

swordfighting.

This is actually true. 😀

It'd be one of two scenarios..

either
a Mexican stand off..
Or..
a scene from the Muppet Show...

I think it would be all very civil. After I'd marched straight up to TJ and headbutted him.

(joke 🙂 )

I've actually sat in many a pub with other STWers, and it's never kicked off, sadly. 🙁

Even worse, it's often ended with people making plans to meet up for rides and stuff. I mean, how crap is that?

rOcKeTdOg - you've probably hit the nail on the knee with that.

I think there'd be lots of hands in pockets and shuffling going on. Oh and tying of shoe laces to duck below radar for a few precious seconds. Until the 4th pint at least.

I'd be Bob Effete

It'd be one of two scenarios..

I would go for an amalgamation of the two...

A Muppet Stand-Off.

Anyway, I have met a few off here and it was all very pleasant......and that's even with Hora being there.

considering the posts on the 'how old are you?' thread i'd expect you all to be dressed up in cardigans and sensible shoes with a pint of half finished niche/posh 'real ale' about to tip onto your lap as you've all bored each other to sleep/in need of a nap after a gruelling 5mile bimble.

Someone is feisty this afternoon.

I would forget my wallet and blag a few beers!

You're expecting others to behave as you do, Philconstipated.

Some of the STW pub get-togethers I've bin to have bin quite lively and even a bit raucous of occasion. 😀

Someone is feisty this afternoon.

right thats it, round the back, 5 minutes, bring 3 of your hardest mates.

You're expecting others to behave as you do, Philsamazingquence.

that would be unfair of me, although the world would be a nicer place 😈

right thats it, round the back, 5 minutes, bring 3 of your hardest mates.

I don't need any mates as I am hard enough as it is.....erm...we are talking about fighting, right?

Phil's right. That is how I behave. You youngsters wouldn't understand.
Can we keep pumping The Smiths, Marillion, Bon Jovi and all that into the jukebox as well please.

if you were talking about fighting... then umm yeah 😳

i'm well hard, got a tattoo and everyfing!

Shit dawg.

I guess I better forfeit before I get myself hurt.

Note to self: Bring iPod.

They don't write em like they used to though Jamie.

It can be arranged......

I have some of those sleeves with the tattoos on...

surely it would be more

If I get invited I'd hope someone would be up for some fun in the gents, or in a bush, or in the back garden.

Come to a HTN post race drink-a-thon and find out.

Not seen any fighting but there has been some appalling dancing.

I'll be in the beer garden with a cigar, if anyone would care to join me.

Play your cards right and it will be some back garden bush fun in the gents.

James... do you mind if I call you that... I've heard about your tremendous guns.

Interesting that some admit to shyness but then slag others for being keyborad warriors.

(Nasty little thing laughing at everyone but with a big fat bloke as back-up)

You, or the Star Wars muppet?

I'll be in the beer garden with a cigar, if anyone would care to join me.

I'll join you for a ciggie, but you can guarantee there'll be some bloody sanctimonious middle-class parents with their spoilt brats moaning about the smoke even though you're outside and they drive a planet-raping Chelsea Tractor, eh Flashy? 😐 🙄

We could just blow smoke in their precious childrens' faces...

James... do you mind if I call you that... I've heard about your tremendous guns.

You can call me whatever you like, sugar-tits.

I met up with Tankslapper and Zokes after a post on here. It would be difficult to find three more different people, but we got on really well and still do. Something to do with common interests I guess..... No not MTB, beer and boobs basically.

if it were the northern chapter meeting, it would be very nice and civilised, just like the tea parties we have after the stw rides.
only the tea and cakes would be replaced by ale and pork scratchings.

For example if I infuriated someone I could tell straight away from their face and diffuse it before they chucked me out of the window.

You'd have to move quicker than the speed of light to diffuse that many people quick enough to avoid that!

Thing is, I've had some proper heated 'debates' with folk on here, but most of 'em I'd happily sit and have a pint and a chinwag with. Just cos you don't agree on something don't necessarily make you enemies. I try to see everyone on here as a potential friend, so try to have at least some respect for others.

i agree. no one on here has got my goat enough that i would not sit and have a bevy with them.

even teej, barnes and fredbra........ 😉

😆

Actually, TJ and Barnes are two that I'd particularly love to meet. As well as you of course Ton. 😉

There's some proper characters on here. I met Mamadirt at Mayhem, and she is utterly lovely. Comes across as a right nutter (in a nice way) on here, and is just a genuinely nice, caring person. Then there's someone like Bullheart, who is a truly inspirational bloke, someone who I have gained enormous respect and admiration for.

I read some of the banter between some of the Manchester/Northern massive, and it's clear their a bunch of good mates who have a right good time with one another.

Ain't that what STW is all about though?

group hug

There're far more people in the real world that I don't want to go for a beer with than I what I do, so I'm not going to pretend this place is any different.

Having said that, I love you all.

Yep.

[i]What would happen if the regular posters on STW forum met in the pub?[/i]

The location of hell would be offically declared and the door man would have a large pair of head mounted horns.

Me go into a pub? Unlikely.

Meanwhile, in the blue corner....

Spoiling for a fight.

[img] [/img]

If it's gonna be like that I might turn up.

edit: Not like that, like the one above that with the rather cheery group of ramblers.

Here come the ladies.

[img] [/img]

30 chaps to every women I guess. All talking about gear ratios and what tyre for the weekend.

And out in the beer garden.

[img] [/img]

The Flash and Fred after their "special" cigars...

. . . . meanwhile down in the cellar . . . .

Isn't that what actually happened on the WRT?

That's Fred on the right, BTW.

I reckon R's descripton is the most accurate so far.

😆

(And at Woppit's vid- brilliant Fast Show sketch!)

I've been in pubs and breweries with STWers, wasn't too bad an experience. Where's that video of some STWers sumo wrestling?

Nobody wants to see that, RealMan. 🙁

Nobody. It's too upsetting.

It's still burned onto my retinas from the first time, how bad can a second viewing be?
