Were there biscuits?

I bet Stoner had biscuits. He seems like a biscuit* sort of guy.

*Not Cadbury's Fingers obviously. That'd be a bit insensitive.

You know what, I didn't offer him a biscuit, how rude of me. We've got some Tunnocks wafers in the cupboard as well. Then again, he's obviously the kind of fella who watches what he eats to keep in that kind of shape

I met some at Swinley forest a few months back. Ride arranged by weeksy, who didn't turn up (Musta known I was coming.) I was shamefully unfit compared to them, and it was cold and wet towards the end of the ride.

But yeah, nice fellas, most definitely.

Usually when you meet someone from the internet and they turn out to be a 40 year old man you're disappointed.

I often daydream about which STW people I would most like to meet on a long train journey.

I have met them at the same time, I can confirm they are two different people.

I've still not met @kcal. We've a theory that our meeting will signal the end of days, the apocalypse. Given Trump is in the White House, I'm trying to stay as far away from him as I can. We came within a few metres of each other last weekend and that bloody volcano exploded!

I've never met a fellow STW'er.

Camouflage clothing and night vision goggles have seen to that.

I haven't met him, but I have seen him at an event or 2, so it was very nice of Mark to send me an email saying he'd love me to come and join in the fun and games on this website. If I'm not busy, I might just do that.

You say Stoner watches what he eats? Eats what he watches more like. I’d wondered why he was booked in for a full body wax with my beauty therapist yesterday. Didn’t realise he was up for day realease this week.

I've met Binners, Grum and a couple of others on a Monday Night Ride.  I totally didn't embarrass myself be being massively unfit and falling off twice.

I work with one. We occasionally take our clothes off in the same room. Then we might go and have a cup tea and a nice sit down.

you utter, utter bastard! I'd have been your friend longtime for a tunnocks.

You were surprisingly better dressed than I imagined, Nettles. Unlike meeting flashy, its always nice to meet a better class of forumite!

Cheers BTW, just got back in. Boy has a job this evening getting those wheels onto his bike.

Once, whilst stood waiting for a steam train at Minehead station, a complete random came up to me and asked if I was Terrahawk from STW. I said yes.

I've met loads off here and to a man they have been a shower of utter ****s. Except for DD, he's lovely.

I spent some time in the Alps with the TheSouthernYeti, turned out to be a really nice chap 🙂

Biketart is OK, when his teeth are still in his head 🙂

I've met quite a few. A number are also real life friends who happen to be on here.

I've never disliked one I don't think.

BikeMagic members on the other hand... crikey there were some ****s there (and some great people I'm still friends with now).

Tracey's daughter, who I don't think is even on here, walked up to me and said "Are you that Northwind" Admittedly I was wearing a fluffy bunny suit so probably quite easy to ID.

I have met quite a few STWers, and been impressed by all of them. As for perchy, I haven't met him, but let's just say that his camo and night vision goggles aren't as effective as he thinks they are.

I've met Whitestone off here in passing a couple of times. I generally shout incoherently at him and disappear in the opposite direction..

That was a wet ride (with one particularly fit individual)!  As a group we also managed to tick many of the STW cliche boxes (as well as a being seeming pleasant and sane individuals).  I did forget to properly interrogate over your encyclopaedic musical knowledge though DezB

I think I've encountered perchy at a gate in the Clyde valley, penny didn't drop for a while after but I can confirm he is less pantherish in the flesh

Many years after chatting went for a ride with kiwijohn

Few others at steel city

I came across Perchy once.

I apologised immediately, cleaned up and left.

Apart from the norvern monkey collective:

WCA - Boris Johnson's incredibly nice brother. The one they don't talk about.......

We nearly met Cinnamon Girl but couldn't get to the church on time.

The Merseysiders/Wools are all lovely.

Never met Ambrose, but would like to. Man drove well over 50 miles to rescue a family heirloom from Brechfa car park. Absolutely top bloke.

Rode past Flashy's pad and have met both  Molgrips and his car.

I really should get out on a few more MNPR's.

I've seen Binners and Hora in the same room.

Now you mention it, I think Harry's wife might have been there too....

Cougar helped me with an IT issue once. Over the phone, but it still counts; smashing chap.

I’m not very IT literate so I didn’t realise that the key to the fix was dancing around in my pants in front of the webcam... works well now, thank you. I have noticed that the little blue light by the camera keeps flashing in the evening, but apparently this is to do with receiving updates...
