[****** STALKER GROOMING ALERT ******]

For the purposes of this forum?

Repack Rider

[u]all[/u] of the beautiful, witty and intelligent users of the forum*

*readers of this excluded by default.

If I told you, Id have to kill you. That's how f***ing important I am!

😉

whoever looks after the server at STW Towers?

Elbry the Magnificent, of course.

Kit - moustache grower fer charidy!

Yes, in my own way, I'm trying to save the world one ginger top lip at a time.

(actually I shaved it off this morning, thank ****!)

Let's start a thread to find the most impotent user! 🙂

Anyone really important probably won't say.

Are we talking about most important from a corporate bollocks 'man at the top' importance (and we all know these people really aren't *that* important), or importance based on control/power?

It's still not me either way. Another humble engineer.

Anyone good at making nice cakes?
That makes you pretty important imo.

I'm out

Surely if we go by media coverage it is you Mike? 🙂

Well if you're important, you'll know (or think you know)!

I'm out

Well I work at a Mr Kipling cake factory, but wouldnt go to far as to say they were nice !!

Plenty of people on here own their own company from comments I've read in the past and images of cars (and bikes obviously) gives indication of a few quid in the bank.

Are we talking net worth in £s or how many people answer to you?

My position menas that cops, private security and council workers answer to me but it's not a very senior position really, just one of statutory coordination to make sure everyone is playing nicely with each other.

IMHO, I'd say anyone who saves lives or actually makes the fabric of society move smoothly to benefit other people are the most important like nurses or the RAF guys airlifting people out of the floods.

(that should put the cat amoung the pigeons for all the public sector bashers out there!)

Well ST off here is ex Head of IMBA or something and is in charge of our local trail building heading up volunters, contractors, finance and dealing with the FC n'that.

I think that makes him 1 rung below Allah.

when did Allah ever dig a berm and own 34 bikes? that makes ST more Allah than Mohammad and his Jehovah peeps

Importance is subjective!

Margaret Thatcher......

Chipps? Mark? Do they count?
Without them we wouldn't be here!

Guys - you know it's the ladies. Without us, you would be ... (insert phrase of choice here) 8)

Without them we wouldn't be here!

...and actually working for a living 😀

(he says stuck at home anyway)

i am the future....(lol)
on the bright side i can bake a mean pasty 😀

We need some criteria. To me, importance can only be judged on how that person is helping their fellow human being. I know there have been some examples recently of real altruistic behaviour, but 1 individual really stands out for all they have done to get newcomers into our sport.

I'm not normally one to gush, but it is people like this that do more for mountain biking than any frame designer, magazine editor or bike shop owner ever could.

hmm interesting question - how do you define important?
if your house is burning down/ being flooded then I guess the people that come and rescue you, give you cups of tea, new clothing and a shoulder to cry on are the most important.

If based on how much £££ you have to spend on meals out and shiny cars/bikes then I lose.
If it's importance based on being the only person where I live who can make a drop dead gorgeous risotto then I win.

That Madoff guy was very important and look what happened to him...

all very subjective - If you mentioned status would that make it any clearer?

How do you define importance?

To me it would be the people with the most effect on others lives - either a small effect for a lot of people or a big effect for a few people.

Improving others lives is the measure.

so it could be some of the company managers and stuff we have on here but I would go for the various Drs, Drac, Crikey and Esselgruntfuttock

Lady G, the offspring and the Inland Revenue seem to think I'm important.

I do own a leather hat 🙂

If I were genuinely important I wouldn't have time to be on a biking website during the working day.

In fact I don't anyway, I should get back to work.

I am amazed there is any controversy about this. It is clearly PeterPoddy. Shame on you all. 🙂

I vote for PeterPoddy too - from the way he talks on here he really must be incredibly important. 😛

While we're at it, why not put everyone in a "class" of importance, e.g.

Royalty (repack)
Aristocrats (poddy)
Middle class (stoner)
Proles (me)
Criminals (the padded one)

Or maybe that sums-up all that is wrong with British society? 🙂

It should go on middle-classness (the working class don't care and the upper class consider bigging themselves up as gauche), with seperate categories for underachievers & those who need to prove themselves online, and the insecure in traditionally "prestigious" jobs, like lawyers.

Guys - you know it's the ladies. Without us, you would be ... (insert phrase of choice here)

Ooooh! Let me see:

happy
declared clear!
unaware of hormones
without a moral compass
cold at night
alone with no one to smell our farts
calm
always leaving the toilet seat up
(still, who gives a $h1t - we'd leave it down and take our chances 😆 )
allowed to watch football
drinking way too much
there would be no HANDBRAKE
a man with the remote control

And I should have mentioned

without us you would be

scratching yourselves in inappropriate places
unconcerned if the cat stayed out all night
totally unconcerned if we stayed out all night
in a house with a mountain bike magazine rack in the bogs
building massive towers from alumimium beer cans
unconcerned about floaters

Is anyone else a multi-format media sensation? No?

😉

Teachers are important and I think there are some of those on here.

Anyone emplyed by the catholic church should be somewhere near the bottom of the list.

I'm not even important in my own home, let alone in the outside world 😆

Guys - you know it's the ladies. Without us, you would be...

sorry Elaine, this falls at the first hurdle as 'most important' has to be singular, unless you mean my mum ?

*poor choice of words alert* s****.....

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Also important people are only a typo away from being impotent 😆
