Show me your CTBM stickers ;>)

They do about as much for me as mint sauce cartoons… absolutely nothing.

In fairness, since when has your onion bin worth anything?

TSY I’m sorry, it was nice knowing you but you have unfortunately just been selected for certain and painful death due to having no sense of humor and dissing my favorite sheep…(apart from the little cutey with it’s head stuck in a fence down the road who’s going to get a struggle snuggle later)

The Tazz secret ninjas have been dispatched

Thank you for quoting it Elf.. and for being a little bit offensive. All in a days work for you though, eh?

It’s a forum… upon which we are all free to contribute and comment as long as we play by the rules and are not offensive to each other. Run along now…

Tazzy… does this mean I shouldn’t bother doing my ironing this evening?

Not sure of the value though.

Crikey-
Because I don’t agree with the campaign du jour?
Aww, thanks.

No, because you are like the general unthinking public – “I don’t see the fun in it, so I don’t see why anyone else should enjoy it, so they shouldn’t.”

“I don’t see the fun in it, so I don’t see why anyone else should enjoy it, so they shouldn’t.”
I concur.

His (or her, Reg) onion is worth just as much as anyone else’s onion Elf.
And you know what they say about onions 😀

Completely wrong about Mint Sauce, though.
I never quite trust anyone who doesn’t get Mint.

I was not being offensive. If I’ve offended your delicate sensibilities, oh whell. 😆

Run along now

No you run along now.

You can’t really, can you? Can’t trust people who jolly well have not got a sensayuma.

Or even a clementine. 😯

No, because you are like the general unthinking public – “I don’t see the fun in it, so I don’t see why anyone else should enjoy it, so they shouldn’t.

I’m not suggesting that you can’t have fun, I’m suggesting that from my point of view, the stickers are;

a) An obvious promotional campaign, using STW as an unpaid vehicle.

b) Puerile and immature, to the extent that I would be embarrassed to display them anywhere.

They are stickers; I got over this stuff in the 1970s when I got them from breakfast cereal.

I never quite trust anyone who doesn’t get Mint

I’m completely untrustworthy so that explains a lot.

Elfin – you’ve questioned the validity of anothers opinion… yes my ‘delicate sensbilities’ consider that a little offensive… On the plus side though it comes from you… 😀

Uh oh, someone let the usual fun nazis out, I’m off, someone round em up please

This was going to be my sticker for a while before I was told not to:

(a shiny shilling if anyone can tell me where I got the quote)

Urban dictionary?

No, that university club bloke…

An obvious promotional campaign, using STW as an unpaid vehicle.

I see it more like if you’re watching a telly programme, and there’s a bus or something goes past in the background with an advert for something on it. IE, incidental. Or like F1 or the TDF. Do the telly companies charge the advertisers because their brands appear on the screen?

If it had a detrimental effect on other companies that pay to advertise on STW, then maybe it would be a problem. Does it?

G.R.F ? he’s my favourite on here (not sarcasm)

Luke from St Andrew’s?

Though I’d rather have a sticker than a shilling…

underhill wins

Anyway, what about Hora?

If we’re going to start seeing bans for stupidity, this could be a long process.
If brains were dynamite, I don’t think some of us could blow our own hats off.

I neither know, nor care.

I think it’s pretty clear though, that if every bike related company who has an association with the site started threads with such obvious self promotional intent, the forum would rapidly deteriorate into a spammy pile of poo…

..and FFS, the actual stickers themselves read like some 15 year old has got a Dymo machine.

maybe they should ban everyone. that would show us 😥

maybe, but it’s a 15 year old that makes me smile and in this bag of cack that is life, a free smile is priceless

Sweet. At least one person is leaving this thread happy 🙂

For those who say you’re too grown up for stickers you sure do sound like a bunch of kids arguing over marbles in the playground!

but it’s a 15 year old that makes me smile and in this bag of cack that is life

a) If your life is really cack, a sticker isn’t really going to help.

b) If a sticker of the kind displayed above is helping, your life isn’t really that cack.

If it had a detrimental effect on other companies that pay to advertise on STW, then maybe it would be a problem. Does it?

Yes. It pisses them off when they get invoiced by us for their ad campaigns and people like this get to create a marketing campaign and put it front of you lot for free.

i de-stickered my Alpine a while back, but have since i toyed with the idea if having some stickers made for my bike.

“fähigkeiten statt federweg” and/or “spaß bringt leistung”

don’t like having company names on my bicycle, though. mopre so when i’ve no connection to the shop. although each of my three helmets are plastered with stickers…. 😕

Yes. It pisses them off when they get invoiced by us for their ad campaigns and people like this get to create a marketing campaign and put it front of you lot for free.

So what about progressive, on one etc etc etc who do/did it all the time under your noses?

It’s either one or the other isn’t it?

I’ll have a handful of those stickers Dogbert

i think http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/index.asp has had far more free advertising for getting banned than his stickers would of ever generated. what a great marketing ploy!

Frankie Goes to Hollywood vs Mike Read all over again. 😀

Fair enough, but what about the fact that Charlie’s posts generate forum traffic which in turn generates exposure for the advertisers’ products?

I’m sure Chalie is not deliberately trying to crap on other companies, just bending the rules a bit to try to earn a living.

just bending the rules a bit to try to earn a living.

So he needs to learn how to do it without appearing on the radar then.

They are stickers; I got over this stuff in the 1970s when I got them from breakfast cereal.

I never did.

(Do I get a free sticker for that? Pleeeeeeease? 😉 )

He didn’t bend the rules.. he broke them cleanly..

…or pay for advertising like everyone else.

your life isn’t really that cack

ooooo get her

when your dealing with serious health issues anything that makes you smile is a winner

more free advertising for getting banned than his stickers would of ever generated. what a great marketing ploy

that was my first reaction to all this..

What about Hora? Lets get to the important stuff, Banning people for stupidity would not leave many left to play

Oh – and the stickers are truly awful. Naff tat
