[Closed] When did you realise that you are also a Nerd?

Define Nerd?

speak for yourself hora - i am perfection 😉

She is!

Define nerd? Its hard as I always denied that I was but deep down every so often I thought 'thats abit nerdy'.

Cycling to non-cyclists is abit uncool.
Actively Surfing and MX'ing is cool.
I don't have cable/Sky but whenever I watch it at someones house I'm drawn to the Discovery and History Channels.

fanks rudeboy - so are you 😀

I'll pour over the car data/stat tables of almost all cars in the back of autocar etc etc..

I'll never buy one of the bargain c£600 hardtails in this months MBR shoot-out but it didnt stop me anaylsising and reading the conclusion.

when I discovered weight weenies.com in my quest for an ultralight xc race bike...... I prefer the term ****in geek, as thats what the wife calls me.hmmmmmmmm that's not a term of endearment is it?

I was looking at that again this week- it hasnt been updated in a while though? I was quibbling over 300gm (fork weight difference).

I am definately a geek as I play with lasers in a lab not sure if I'm a nerd tho?

[i]Do you expect me to talk?

No they are all mine!

Its cool to be a geek, but being a nerd is just nerdy.

LOL, it's not just me then, thank god for that!! mind you 300 grams is a lot, so it's worth quiblling over, It's a complete maxxlite tyre 😯

oo! oo! me next on the [i]fricken' lasers[/i]!

tazzymtb I was hefting a jar of Sainsburys organic honey (340gm) all day in my lefthand trying to weigh up should I or shouldnt I (I did)...but agonised after into the evening.

Its like being ginger but inside (a bad thing?)

What's the difference between a Nerd and a Geek?

A nerd is a geek who has not learned how to turn a computer on..

I actually PREFER ginger girls 8)

[i]What's the difference between a Nerd and a Geek? [/i]

there isn't!

People tell me I'm geeky, can't see it myself

I explained my DNA sequence project for inborn errors etc to my GF and she said "You're such a nerd but I love you for it".

I am not a nerd!

I deny I'm a nerd! I don't know if a heckler is a full sus or not. I can't identify bikes by their silhouette I cannot identify tyres from their prints, I don't pore obsessively over statistics in magazines. I have been caught weighing MTB components tho and I do build my own lights

pouring over stats of car/bike/whatever performance is a typical male trait. See High Fidelity for details.

on the other hand I have been writing software since I was 12

Show me any editted part of any car- exterior or even small interior (mainstream not 1920's!) and I can name it 😥

It's was at the cinema when I uttered the phrase "One ticket for Star Trek please". I did come very close to following it with "And yes, I do have a girlfriend before you ask, and yes, she's real".

Hora, oblige please...

Bike Forum - post your bike pics thread .. Jim-Kirk photo... have a bash at the car in the pic..

Answered 😀

Hora, I have seen your answer.. you must be a qualified nerd. 😉

mazda 6?

not

the day i realised that girls arnt interested in me, the current ecological disaster humanity is facing is nothing compared to the dating drought disaster I am currently in ..............................at least steps can be taken against global warming .................

When I asked for a Tandy Electronics Kit for a birthday present, then getting a soldering iron for another birthday, subsequently, getting a spectrum 48k and a modem 'decoupler' then writing my own rs232 interface code so it would so 'stuff'.

I cannot believe I admitted this.

edit: I was about 10 or 11 when I got the spectrum, and about the same age when I got a soldering iron, oh, I also had a 'work bench' in my bedroom with a mini-engineers vice, plastic component storage bins, a selection of tools. So yeah, i've known I was a nerd for nigh on 20 years.

But, I have been accused of being a 'cad' on more than one occasion, I enjoy riding the bikes, and I spent a few years getting completely sh*t faced so redeem my nerd-ability by a little 😉

pouring over stats of car/bike/whatever performance is a typical male trait.

I'm hoping you meant "poring". "Pouring" over bike stats is too sad!!

We do need to get the geek and nerd thing straight though, it's a bug bearer of mine.

Nerds are socially inept, not particularly useful at anything, shy, self-concious, clumsy, poor at interacting with just about anything and generally a waste of space.

Geeks are usually of high intelligence, seriously adept at logical and quantative problem solving, socially proficient, extremely useful, confident and quite often, valuable and succesful members of society.

Without geeks you wouldn't be talking to each other on the internet, the telephone would never have been invented, you wouldn't have any bikes to ride or beer to drink and you wouldn't be flying anywhere on holiday. I'm extremely proud to be a geek but don't like being associated with nerds.

Non-geeks often confuse the two but that's generally because they're not smart enough to see the difference.

I wish I could edit that again, as it seems i'm quite the Geek!

i think my uncle is greek.
