[Closed] Whatever happened to . . . . . former STW'ers

Hi SST - still miss it, but summer is on it's way and the little one keeps me happy and smiling so have definite reason's for hanging around 😉

The "42" pictures involved keys in inappropriate orifices...Truly a disturbed individual. I rode with him a couple of times, and he was just as random IRL. Myself and a couple of others invented Emily Green over on BM to properly wind him up.

I'm still in touch with agony aunt, she left after the flak she got when she outed 42 when he sent her the "without Lycra" photos,

What the ****?

I missed all this. There really are some utter wierdos on the internet.

Cool 🙂
Sadly for us winter is on it's way down here! Still hot enough yet though !

@SST - your winters are about as good as our summers 🙂 never thought I'd wear shorts at 20C, but I do these days.

You still doing ok?

Yes all good on the west rand. Just off for a road ride out to Fourways and back.

🙂

Um. It might not have been Chipps. That was TomL's fault really as he had to pay 'nipping off to bed' Tax in the form of Cask Strength Whiskey. What happened after that we cannot be held responsible for (PiersB fell of the wagon I know that!)

if i remember correctly Rob the whisky was a prize that Tom won for some singletrack competition. It makes sense that Chipps had to get it back as i doubt they could afford more than one bottle of whisky per year.

still here but dont have much to contribute these daysm still riding but not as much as back then, redundant at the end of this year and hoping to do a lot more riding from then on, this thread made me smile a lot remembering all the folks from back then

Yup some good times and met some good friends from those days.

yep made me smile remembering old threads - I changed name from D-Arsey with the big-bang.

Big aka mike (or whathever his tag was).

Not seen him about for ages, think he went off to melh, he always seemed to be top of the posting charts, when stw used to publish them.

Big mike got a chefs hat and a girlfriend!

Mike: That might or might not be the case. We DEFINATELY forced him to hand it over then we drunk the lot. Made PiersB go wonky eyed! Its amazing that I can recall this!

Howdy Salsaboy!!!

she now manages her two daughters glamour modelling career

Is that real? If not I think thats alittle unfair.

well, she was never too backward about showing her piercings off...

Email me and I'll point you in the direction of their website

now that's DEFINITELY not fair

share and share alike

I dont know why but that reminds me of a girl who grew up in area of just guys in a group as young teenagers..

Not a good thought.

This is all bringing back memories.
Red bull 02. Also riding with you lot ^^^ at the first 'fat tyre challenge'(2003 I think) at Coed y Brenin, where Drac caught me with my shorts down 😳

Hehe I'd some how forgot about that. Pics availble for a small fee.

it seems nudity was a theme in those years:

I miss Wendy, I loved the first FOD meet, it was a great laugh

And the dancing...

I think Psling was the one with his back turned to us 😉

Hi Martin, was chatting with psling at the weekend and we might have a social gathering/ride in the FOD sometime soon.

riggsy looks about 8

I'm well up for a couple of nights in the slaughtered lamb

it might even persuade andyc and salsaboy to come out of grumpy retirement

salsaboy is nursing a dodgy knee and afaik he wont be riding too much soon 😕

I would love to come up, but I don't really get the time to ride much any more, but as beer may well be involved I may just camp out in the pub for the weekend, just like normal...

Is that Kim Clarke in that piccy? he was a top man.

I'd be up for a drink in the Forest of Dean. Just one drink mind you.

Who remembers the raid on the Parrot forum?

2002... many moons ago!

And stw was friendly! 😉

Conor...

Didn't say much, but nice bloke 😉

Andy, can you do just the one?
Re FOD, the locals were scary

* Well I stayed in the pub, but the others...

I started on here on 2001 as idt, used to work nightshifts for BT back then and would only get to log on around 3 in the morning for a hour or so. There used to be a little panel down the side of the screen telling you who was logged in and how many guests, there only ever used to be about 4-5 at that time of the morning. I remember some girl who worked in tv (i think).

Seems to ring a bell now, think Tim had just moved up to the area iirc?

That's right, Drac.

Nice to see there's still plenty of people around from back when, and that we all seem to have good memories of what it was like. I guess that means we're all middle-aged farts, then :-). I am.

[i]Who remembers the raid on the Parrot forum? [/i]

My only banning 😳

I got a very cross email from Chips....

I got the same email Nick.
I can even remember I used the name The Crow that Knows.

So many names I remember. This site provided many hours of slacking-off time back when I was paid to sit in front of a Mac screen. Rather lost the riding mojo over the last year or so, but still got my bikes. I can lay the blame on this site for planting the seed about singlespeeds, which germinated into an On-One 853. Had to be, really. Glad there's still originals on here from back in 2003 when I finally joined.

I go back to the go-far days but have never been a prolific poster. Recall a number of the posters above. Also went to Shatfest, twice, which was fun - where is Jez and co?

Riding a bit more on the road currently due to time restrictions tough did SSEC last weekend bumping into a few old faces. I have recently been made redundant and from October will have plenty of time to ride my bike - can't wait....

blimey it's like an old folks home in here.....someone put vera lynn on and we'll have a sing song

🙂

I have recently been made redundant

Sorry to hear that Kev/blackhound.

I've been on here since around 02ish under various names: andrew-f, derbyandrew and probably others that i don't remember. It has calmed down a lot (tho' it was always at its calmest when the temporary mods took over - usually at Christmas - and they always seemed to include the most easily offended people going (was one of these Polly? Or is my failing memory failing me?)

Never really met that many folks off here - i'm far too antisocial - but did nearly go on a ss ride down a german mine until it didn't happen (was it phatlizard that was organising it?)

<chuckles> the_prawn <shakes head>

hmmm - I vaguely remember seeing pictures on here of the "German Mine" thing!

It was miles and miles of disused mine. . . . . in Germany . . . 😯

theprawn did provide some excellent "banter".
