Been lurking for ages, now dipping the first toe in. Used to race mtbs, now more cross and road rider, but still like getting dirty!

I guess I’m due some abuse, judging by previous efforts, so I’ve put my thick skin on.

Do you drive an Audi?

uh oh, we got a newbie!

Run, fast, while you’re still fresh!

I’ve got a Fiat Panda, but its got alloys on?

I see a steep learning curve ahead.

Fresh meat. (sound of Cutlery scraping)

Welcome…

Royston

Welcome to the forum matey.

Only kidding. Welcome to the Asylum…

Not really me, I’m about 10 years off wearing a hat while I’m driving, and 3 years away from Saga car insurance.
I should have pretended to be a lady, I think.

My panda is red though.

Welcome to the nut house.

Thought it was spelt “hello”.

Welcome.

Not sure why, but that liking panda! (The car that is, not the furry one).

Welcome!

That panda looks like a Renault 5 turbo. The car not the bear.

Royston you say?

Hellow you say?

What’s your stance on helmets?

Abandon hope all yee who enter here!!!

At least no one is hiding from STW in the Ecuador Embassy

Well the mods have created a few vacancies – would you like to apply for one?

Do you know whether a headset comes with a crown race?

what kind of rock do you use to fit a new crank?

I didn’t know I would be interviewed, do I need to be wearing a suit?
Headsets usually include crown races and I wouldnt use a rock to fit a new crank….

Fail!!!

Whats your view on the Orange 5?

I know this one

its either an overpriced filing cabinet or a good example of a successful english designed and built iconic bike.

I’ve ridden one for a day and it was actually very capable.

your in 😉

I’m going to wait for a while before I ask about tyres 🙂

Ah, that’s how you do smileys

Careful now coming on her with a balanced outlook and cheery demeanour 😉

From your Hat & Saga comments I guess you were also born 1965ish.

Good to see lurkers joining in 😀

Hmm, he’s awfully well read for a lurker.

Who are you, and who were you before? 😐

You’re at the shops, right now, aren’t you… getting some weedkiller and wood-stain so that when you post pictures of your custom 953 frame with 650b wheels (+ neat tyre-logo alignment and correct hose lengths) you don’t get flamed for the state of your garden…?

I know about the Orange 5 from reading about it on here, but I don’t get the crown race question. I have been lurking for a while, and my real name is Roy. My mum and dad haven’t said sorry about it.

welcome to the forum, you can actually get some good advice on here if you ignore the bickering and the nonsense

Even the collective mind of STW couldn’t get to an answer on the crown race question. But it did confirm that it involved magic cats and celery (and an over-sized pigeon, from memory).

I didn’t know I would be interviewed, do I need to be wearing a suit?

– i refer you to Shallow Grave… mwahahahahahaha
