LOLLERCOPTERS at repetition of history.
Ton when you flounced of melhworld did they notice? Had a look at it a couple of nights ago. They are very.... Cliquey aren't they?
Emsz.
If you'd stuck around a couple of days all would have been fine.
What I want to know is how do I flounce back on?
D.beanz - who are you over there then >>>>> ?

I'm sure you'll figure out a way. Have I seen you posting on here before then?
Tbh guys there didn't seem to anything for me to stick around for...
S'ok, though l'll come and say hello every now and again
Have I seen you posting on here before then?
Yeah I used to post on here quite a bit.
It became a bit of a problem, logging on when I got up, taking regular STW breaks at work, still STWing last thing before bed. I, errr, decided to have a break... but going out on an evening isn't half as good as people tell you!
Come back S-M, we need you!
Hello?
who here hasn't had an internet flounce?
never! been posting on here and plenty other mtb forums for around 11 years or more.. Taken plenty of abuse on here over the years inc. some v. personal insults and even a few threats of physical violence! 😆 some people take themselves way too seriously, a discussion on a forum it isn't even worth worrying about, never mind flouncing off.
Agreed GW...had threats of violence myself too!

"surely if you want to talk about cars you'd just go on a car forum??"
Nah, he doesn't want to post on car forums... Quite common this, self-proclaimed experts who carefully avoid forums and sites that are relevant to their chosen subject. That way, they can talk cobblers without as much risk of coming across anyone who can correct them.
al............fist pie is not a threat of violence 😉
what is it then Ton? an offer?
roll up roll up... get yer pies fisted here.. two for a pound!
I like to see a good flounce - "never coming back here" etc
S-M's was too considered though, as if he was already plotting messy retribution in the dead of night. 😯
al............fist pie is not a threat of violence
Got any knuckle sandwiches? Trying to lay off the pastry.
HEH ton no I know you're a big teddy bear underneath the Vinney Jones act.
I've been on bike forums for 10+ years too. Never been threatened with violence. Maybe you need to think about what you're posting...
Smurf Matt - nice enough guy I'm sure just has the online character of a 5 year old at the slightest provocation and an amusingly obvious inferiority complex.
He's just been busy. Obviously his boss is having Christmas off to look after the kids.
clubber - the problem is more that I do think about what I post 😉
No, they're equal partners even though it was his wife's company 😉
😆
Surf Mat: I don't agree with what he was saying about activating the brake lights, surely giving a false indication of your intention to other road users puts you, them & pedestrians at risk (no matter how close they are to your bumper) but was it worth the bestowing of tags etc... Upon his character? The driving argument could have continued without name calling.
I can see why his posts rub people up the wrong way, but it's obvious he has some issues with acceptance and self esteem. He seems to care a great deal about family and I respect him for that.

Until he causes an accident by dabbing his brake lights.....

i think i'm still banned, not been back to check
cynic-al - MemberThey are very. . . . Cliquey aren't they ?"
Not deliberately, it's a small group of folk who have known each over in real life and online for years. New folk will get ribbed but if they have the right attitude they will be fine.
*chuckles*
I suspect he didn't go running to the mods when annoyed 'cos if he had I think some of what I said to him would have got me modded if not banned
He hasn't deleted his account so doubt he's gone for good. Just levitated back to the planet awesome to recharge.
I've never known anyone get so much shit, it probably penetrates the thickest skin after a while. When he first bounced onto the forum I delighted in winding him up but after he saw the funny side of the awesome thing I figured it was time to ease off. I think that others have kept on at him, a bit of an easy target really and borderline bullying in my book but that's the interned for you.
I thought we'd just claimed the Awesome thing as our own? Once equivalent to being labelled a 'Stuart Baggs' it's now the height of cool!
Look chaps, speaking as a gay man please note that 'flounce' and 'mince' are quite related but do have some differences. I feel, as a matter of public information that people should know the difference.
A mince is small steps, elbows to body with hands at about 25 degrees out from the front and about 80 degrees up, fingers out as if holding a handkerchief, eyes up towards the right.
A flounce, on the other hand is similar, small steps but much more side-to-side arm action. Eyes straight ahead.
At least that is what I was told when I joined. Dunno if it has changed since. 😀
On the other hand, surf-matt hasn't really bothered me too much, so I don't really have that much of an opinion. As most people (apart from severely nasty works) I wish him well.
LOL@ adam!
Maybe teaching granny to suck eggs but having worked at Harrods and spent many a bored hour chatting to my many gay colleagues, I believe that a flounce is as described but with big theatrical steps, not small ones. YMMV 😉
A flounce
To be honest, a lot of rubbish is spouted on here - left foot braking is lethal, heel & toe will kill everyone in a 5 mile radius, you must wear a helmet to walk down the street / ride a bike etc.
To me there seems to be a bit of divide - people who ride bikes and include it as part of a vaguely greenish and leftish world view, and people who happen to like riding bikes. The two seem to spend a lot of time arguing...
To me there seems to be a bit of divide ....
What about the idiots... the idiots that just like chatting about stuff an' that, eh? What about us?
That's it I've had enough... I'm going... going to make my tea. brb.
More to the point, whose gonna promote Luminous's lights and remote switches now ?!
😕
LOL @ Adam
At least that is what I was told when I joined.
Was there paperwork? Bloody red tape.
I find it a little sad when people feel that they have to leave. No matter how aggresive and unpleasant this place can be sometimes it is only a computer forum at the end of the day.

I'm in that club with you too Mr Yeti. AdamW could be too if he fills out all the forms.
Yeah, there are quotas to fill. I'll claim a space on that basis too bring of non-UK origin (admittedly having to go back a generation )
Being half Welsh and half Irish I tried for the Celtic Dragon roar. Unfortunately after I came out it sounded like 'meeeoiouw'. And I'm not that good with cats. Go figure.
As for the idiots bit - can you let me know where the forms are please? I've got me marker pen handy.
He will be back, anyone who acts like he does cant have many friends in the real world.
AdamW forget the forms - You're hired!
Which outfit do you want? Clubber's having the native American... I'd really like the construction worker...
Harry, sorry you'll just have to choose from what's left.
LOLLERCOPTERS at the deleted posts.
Yay! Always wanted to be the Injun chief 🙂
Flouncing is soooo last year...[url= http://www.mlehworld.com/mleh2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3068 ]http://www.mlehworld.com/mleh2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3068[/url]
To emsz and the other mleh visitors. I can understand your reluctance to hang around. Mleh is a small and very close-knit group, as a result of which we all tend to know each others humour and triggers. It's a bit like a family. Have a look on the "classified" section and you'll mostly see stuff being exchanged or given away free. Posting on a thread which was basically "I'm a noob - come slag me" was never going to give you a taste of it. In short, feel free to pop in occasionally and say hi!
This thread has achieved considerable awesome even without the Fount of All Awesome being among us.
Adam is to be commended particularly. 🙂
As a confirmed Matt hater, & I have the warning to prove it, the bloke has an inferiority complex! I'm sure he has a lot to add to the forum, we all do, but when you build yourself up that much, there is only one way to go & that's down.
If people really think matt is as wealthy as he makes out to be, ask some questions, but then wealth, is as most things, is in the eye of the beholder.

he can only mention some of his awesome exploits because he's done them, unlike, I suspect, many of the derelicts who hound him. a lot of big jealous kids around this interweb thing.
Really? He's done everything?
Anyway, re flouncing, I have! My biggest flounce was to suggest STW make the forum two tier, paying members got one thing, plebs got something different. I nearly left after that, several emails between me & STW about how it would never happen, a few years later we have the beginning of a two tier system, money is money after all...
Cheers.
Napoleon complex.
Anyway, hey, it's BigDummy 🙂
