    Just check the bushes near the megabunker, and ask him directly.

    Just check the bushes near the megabunker,

    I had noticed that someone had set off one of my Claymores recently, but hadn’t had time to go and investigate, plus the cats have probable eaten most of the remains by now.

    What’re these ‘bikes’ that keep betting mentioned?
    Chat forum is not what it was a couple of years ago but still amazingly helpful, interesting and annoying (yes I’m looking at you Mcmoonter 😉 )

    Banter
    Friends
    Some arguing /debating
    Some laughs
    The chance to interact with folk I would never meet in the real world _ Stoners , Cpt , THM as well as the actual nutters i would choose not to but might meet

    The HIVE MIND – there is nothing it does not know and no question it cannot answer – in fact I have not even understood some of the questions.

    Does seem more tame these days which is both a good and a bad thing.
    Seems to be loosing some community spirit as well as some of the characters – perhaps its just getting bigger and therefore more corporate?

    I was promised, and get, regular photos of nipples.

    I should have read the small print, though 🙁

    I use you all as virtual office colleagues when I’m working from home. A substitute for all office banter, with the advantage that it is more orientated around bikes rather the than the banality of what happened in Eastenders last night or a talking about last night match.
    I haven’t worked out who the virtual office eye candy is yet though…

    Your all a bunch of argumentative tossers 😆

    I just love how witty and funny it is on here and how a completely innocent thread can descend into world war three 😆 I think most people must come on here to either vent their frustrations or wind people up. It also a great source of information and can also be a very caring place.

    Oh yeah one more thing, this place has actually got me/encouraged me/finger waved at me/embarased me* to enter a couple of “competitions” and I thought I’d had enough of that a loooong time ago. 😕
    And (cough) I’m rather looking forward to meeting some folk of here.. I’ll let you know if it’s recipical… 😆

    A mine of information – on almost any topic.
    A real laugh – cats and flags 🙂
    A chance to see the opinion of lots of folk I’d never meet.
    A place to share riding experiences and routes.

    As I’ve said before, I only ever subscribed as a way of supporting the forum as I’m not really interested in magazines. It also has to be said that modding is, at best, inconsistent and it seems as though The Rules need revised to reflect this. The use of the classifieds section is probably the worst for this and I’m unlikely to renew my subscription next time around based on recent changes.

    I put bets on with my bookie to see how long it takes druidh to come along and ruin a thread.
    He was a bit slow on this one so I’m down £0.41 today.

    My money was on CFH replying to that 😀

    I don’t know many people of here in person and I don’t regularly converse on here but I’ve spend enough time on here to know when a thread starts who will reply and what their angle will be.

    You’re a frequent flyer here – would you volunteer to mod?

    Oh look – I have my own personal stalker.

    Would I volunteer to mod? Why not? I’d just have to dig out the jackboots and Nazi uniform (again).

    Do tell…..

    It was all such a long time ago.
    I went in to my LBS which was having a closing down sale ,and just happened to mention that I had £5000 to spend on a new bike ,but that I no idea what to choose. I also mentioned that I was having some thoughts about changing tyres ,pedals,cables,brakes and finishing kit, as I just couldn’t keep up with people at my local trail park. Anyway,they said that they posted at a very helpful place called singletrackworld on the interweb,and felt sure I would have all my questions answered.
    When I came on here ,I forgot all about bikes and ended up spending my money on stoves,quality knives,razor blades and cheese. So now ,I lurk on here,scanning all the threads ,just waiting for them to turn up. I will have my revenge ,oh yes 🙂

    It taught me that no point, no matter how small, should ever be conceded in an argument no matter what the cost.

    All in all though it is a very good place and the collective wisdom of a (decent) crowd is often much more effective at answering questions and proferring advice than just Googling everything. It’s also always pretty heartwarming when the adice also spills over into genuine support for people with real problems other than mtb stuff etc.

    Lots. I like the chat side (I’m a forum addict tbh) and I’ve met a lot of other riders through it (or, perhaps it’s better to say I would have met lots of them anyway, but it’s meant more of a connection, “Oh hi, you’re that guy off the internet”).

    Also it’s influenced my riding a lot, probably wouldn’t have gone so head over heels for enduro racing without this place and that’s been a big thing for me.

    Jamie- your google searches are tailored to you, normal people won’t get that.
