I thought this place was OK and reasonably welcoming by the standard of fora.

If they want a bike forum full of **** Bikeradar is the place.

Junky, you doing the brownies?

That sounds like a court case waiting to happen.

True, newbies to BM were generally greeted by one regular with the word that preceeds …the magic dragon whilst another welcomed them with various bodily fluids. It was at that point that I realised the place was doomed unless something was done, and it wasn’t.

A “referee”, you’d need the riot squad.

Nah.
Binners and THM definitely have a bit of a thing going and I want a go in Jamba’s Macan.
I’ve already met Molgrips’ Passat.
It’s a lot nicer in real life than it comes across on the forum.

Good point.
We’ll get Yunki to do them instead.

Nobody want a go in my Zoé. 🙁

Do you want to rephrase that? 😛

Jamba’s Macan.

Test drove one but wait for petrol was still 9 months, still have my Cayman, 10 years old now. Just being factual.

First time for everything.

Said the Dalek, climbing off the dustbin.

I think a ride might clear the air.
Besides, not seen a nice Merc estate for ages.

Stealth edit – I had ‘Volvo for sale’ flashbacks.

March or die, bast ards.

I am the Yang and you are the Ying (most of you are).

I think chewkw is faking it, ‘cos even I knows it’s Yin and Yang, and I’m a yokel from Wiltshire.
Although I did have a half-Chinese g/f a long time ago.

Now, the day this forum stops chucking around terms like insidious weasel and uses pollock instead is, imho, the day this forum dies.

Hmmm, something a bit fishy going on there…

… in this plaice?

Don’t carp on about it. It’s sole destroying.

Oh, for Cod’s hake………

We’ll get Yunki to do them instead.

Huh!?

Reporting. What do you losers want?

😳

No takers for a genuine offer of a ride then?

Do we just carry on in an atmosphere of mutually assured misunderstanding, or shall we try and make things a little better for everyone?

I’m up for an abusive and obnoxious forum ride and post ride beer. Not sure that I fit the bill of a ‘prolific political poster’ though I do fit a lot of the other stw stereotypes;

MIddleish aged white male VAG owner <tick>
Cotic owner (as of a week ago) <tick>
Leftish leaning <tick>
Works in IT <cross>
Works in public sector <tick>

Even TJ learnt self control. He should offer lessons.

i am booked in

Did take him several years of self exile in a Tibetan monastery to achieve inner piece on STW… [/quote]

Errmmm – its wasn’t self exile!

While banned I read the forum a bit and it became obvious how ludicrous the arguathons were given the bit of distance I had from them. Also I was upset that I had annoyed a bunch of folk – no one likes to be seen in a negative light do they? Finally its obvious that my continued presence on here is beholden on behaving well as rightly I will be on a shoogly peg.

Overall I think this place is better than it used to be – less unpleasant trolls and more tight moderation of those who set out to upset folk
