I didn't actually realise that was Hora as he was nothing like I was expecting. He surprised me in a good way.

What never ceases to amaze me is that the most vocal/aggressive/argumentative (delete as appropriate) people on here can be so nice 😯

Of course I would not go so far as to name names but genuinely hope that I might be included in this observation

What were you expecting Mr P?

What never ceases to amaze me is that the most vocal/aggressive/argumentative

Who you calling Argumentative? 😉

Met many people from here now, and the one thing that never ceases to amaze me is just how small a world it is… For instance, got chatting to Bananaworld off here at the last mass Swinley meet… Wasn't sure but something about his face looked vaguely like I recognised him from a dim and distant past… Sure enough, he was in the year below me at school!

mi©k – rode your 456 in anger(ish) for the first time this weekend 😀

I still think you are all gay/old for not admiring that cute bar maid 🙄

I've met quite a few off here over the years but my big problem is that I'm useless at recognising people again or remembering names. Probably appear a right ignorant barsteward sometimes… Sorry 😳

More opinionated and more volume if I am honest.

I've not met anyone that I didn't like. Even people who Ive had a disagreement with 'online'.

The scary thing is I've found we have alot of shared values/other things in common.

Mister P – I was quiet on Sat? 😯

You missed me mentioning the text that I sent saying I wanted to bum my boss? 🙄 😆

I've yet to meet lowey, having had many friendly exchanges over the past 4 or 5 years on STW. One of these days. One of these days…

Or married and sitting next to my wonderful wife, perhaps?

LOL

In that case I'm very honoured you didn't forget me the other week after a mere 4 1/2 years since the last time we met…

What does that say about me though? 😉

Or married and sitting next to my wonderful wife, perhaps?

Good point.

Who says I wasn't?

Oh, and I think we need pics of the boss

Good point.

and she was behind me so I couldn't see her

Oh, and I think we need pics of the boss

She is actually good looking but Ive worked with her so long that I don't see her for just her looks.

I am also a married man. Still you are allowed to enter the art gallery, admire the beauty whilst adhering to the 'do not touch the display' signs 8)

nice analogy

Ive worked with her so long that I don't see her for just her looks.

Hora in "not actually controlled entirely by his penis" shock.

I've yet to meet lowey

You wont be disappointed by the mans greatness have you tried here on a Thursday?

he is not in the picture

I once met Lowey. He tried crushing my hand Jaws-style

i am the same online as i am in person i hope

i am the same online as i am in person i hope

but with a sword that lights up and goes "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzztt!" ??

Has anybody ever met Captain Flashheart? He seems a perfect web-based creature, I wonder what he's like in real-life situations. Does he ask the butler to fix a puncture? 😉

of all the people i have met from here over the years there's only one that i disliked

njee is brand new
Stuartie C is the purveoyor of great rides !
4thdeadmonk ive known for years and is sound
Smee is a top bloke in real life (once he realises you can kick his ass on a bike 😉
twinklydave and richpips are good guys for having a prerace pint with
Met Tj last weekend at puffer – top bloke – let me have his jacket because i was freezing my nackers off in the marque
"alek" is a girl !

Ambrose,

I think we met via that "other" mtb forum 😉 that's gone quiet!!!! 🙄

We have had fun over the past Summer on Ambrose Adventures PLC tours, usually involves river crossings, rock climbs, pot-holing, wildlife, an odd bothie now and again and without doubt an alcoholic beverage with pig nuts 😀 fliipn fantastic!!

Hope to hook up with all you Swansea valley boys again very soon 😉

I am not to sure what i am like on or off line, i am who i am 😕 just hope i am not to much of a T**T or T*T 🙂

Met some great people this weekend, would gladly meet you all again 🙂

Good times…

i've met a few people on here and have made some great friends 😀

Met a few – muffin-man who's a sound bloke

Rob (another sound chap), Luke (RolfHarris) & Farley plus maybe one or two others.

All decent blokes – still see a fair bit of Rob, when we both get round to getting our arses out riding.

oh yeah , simply_oli , jojo , jcromton , superstaropponants are all top folk too …

Has anybody ever met Captain Flashheart?

Apparently he frequents my LBS, so I might have seen him. Like you, I am convinced that he is purely digital in nature, some kind of posh bot inhabiting the net.

I've loved all the forum rides, but I'm convinced loads of people are on their best behaviour. I crashed into someone once through idiocy and got no abuse at all 🙂 A normal riding mate would've called me a ****, and rightly so.

Damn right, in our group crashing into anything will see laughter, piss-taking and help, in that order

I've met probably around 40 odd people from here and everyone of the riders I have met from here have been great. Would happily share a beer or two with them.

Kit, your down in the lakes soon arnt you ?

oh yeah , simply_oli , jojo , jcromton , superstaropponants are all top folk too …

but who's the bestest you've ever met??? 😉

richpenny's mid ride drink is the best 🙂

I just met jedi and bushwacked, both nice guys, and good riders. Plus I learnt how to do a disaster! I need to practice, but I've got the basics now…

I met Simon Ralli in my local High Street today when I nipped out on an errand….

I've also met another 900 people from this forum when I went on an STW Quantocks ride 😉

I don't think I've met anyone on this forum despite having loads of riders living locally. Not sure if I've seen CG at Swinley or whether it was just a female rider!

shakes head at someone who lives in Totnes- glad I escaped back ooop North
