Which forumite(s) would you most like to meet, and why?

Sorry Sue but I’m not riding. 🙁 Don’t think anyone has met the Cap’n?

Don’t worry about being the only girl – the guys love it. 😀

I might be able to make the London Pootle. Still trying to work out how… 🙂

I would be very happy to meet anyone off here and I’m sure I’ve met a few on occasion. I’m sure I’ll catch up with more over the years!!

Rachel

c_g: sorry to hear that. Do you know how long it will be before you are mended? (at least enough for gentle pootles)

Rachel – it would be great if you could make it, look forward to meeting you if you do 🙂

Maybe he’ll appear at Elf’s London Pootle? It would be a “boy” invite, rather than one from the girls

No chance. Flashheart was supposed to come for a drink with myself, Stoner, Bigdummy, and Cheesyfeet, he never turned up. He claimed that something cropped up at the last minute and he was otherwise engaged. I reckon he’s some South London Walter Mitty character living on the dole.

Mind you Elf was also suppose to turn up, but he went to another pub. I have met Elf though. I was shocked to discover that he’s a right posh git – he went to a top notch school and university you know. It’s funny how people can lead double lives with the help of the internet.

Sue – I’ve actually done a couple of gentle pootles but need an operation so shouldn’t really be riding. 😳

😆 @ Ernie and, yes, you could be right! You can be anyone you want to be on t’internet. You, of course, are far nicer in real-life. 😀

(Comes back after ‘short holiday’. Notices TJ is ahead on votes. Is most upset. Goes away again….)

Oh dear, time for a virtual hug Elf?

This thread has made me realise that I’ve actually met loads of people from off here, and had some brilliant rides as a result.

As to the ones I haven’t met yet – I said I’d let Vortexracing know to sort out a ride next time I was up visiting the in-laws and then haven’t been back for a year. Must do that because he delivered some tyres and my wife said he seemed nice.

Nearly met Davidtaylforth for a ride on a trip to Cumbria once, would have been interesting to put a face to his name.

There are a couple more people I have threatened to meet for rides, but names escape me now.

Chatted to loads of good people here, but can’t always remember names. Of the top of my head, Tazzy, Mboy and DavidTaylforth. Seem like nice guys who don’t talk a lot of bollocks. Oh and GW, to call him a c*ck in person 😀

I’ve had good advice from many folks on here and have ridden with a fair few of the more outspoken posters.

GW – Massive troll , but can walk the walk and talk the talk better than anyone Ive ever ridden with.
TJ – Thoroughly decent chap and very knowledgable of local Edinbra stuff.
Druidh – Nice and welcoming on the Tbc rides and fixed many a noobs puncture . (including mine)
Coastkid – Always good company If you can get a word in edgeways. 😉

Notable mentions to stevenmenmuir, robgarrioch,sharki, househusband and yodagoat (floaty heed).

Bloody hell!

Someone’s actually noticed I exist! 😉

Incidentally, click back on here and then click my most recent link, tell me what you reckon about the latest revision… 😀

Oh, and seeing as we’re on the subject, you can add yourself to my list too… 😛

Woo, two mentions! I’d like to meet anyone who mentioned me cos I crave friendship and approval 🙂

I have long been considering a Cardiff/South Wales STW ride. But I can’t decide on a route.

I would like to meet Charlie Mungus, he intrigues me, and I would also like to meet deadlydarcy for a local ride, any of the other Cardiff people, and also iDave. And basically anyone else, even TJ 🙂

There’a a fair number I’ve met, though I don’t know who they are. You know the situation: meet up at Swinley, and people with improbable names like notAsauSage or trumpeterbegins promise to turn up.

So you get to the car park, and there are a million people there, all of whom have disturbingly normal names like Geoff, Pete, Sue….you get the drift. No idea what their forum names are though, and people never seem to volunteer them.

Of the ones I’ve met, the most like their onlike persona is Elf (but he’s turned down to 2 on here – louder in person), and the least likely is Bullheart, who’s usually pretty serious and a bit taciturn on here, but is friendly, generous and loquacious in real life. He does ride an orange gate though, so not all perfect.

Ones I’d like to meet? I’d ride with anyone, but there’s a few I’d be especially keen to see, though I’d not embarrass them here by naming them.

Dear God,
I have met Hora, twice.
PLEASE let it be me
Junkyard

it’s me.

Couldn’t be you nbt. Far too normal…apart from the phone. 🙂

aww you’re a chap, 40dd. I hear you’re back in town soon? I’m back off the wagon if you fancy a beer, although three pints will have me leathered and slobbering all over you 😉

mc and gw are great fun to ride with!

i have met so many forumites over the many years i been on here 🙂

darcy, tazzy, binners+hora, emsz, emma82, cougar, harry the spider, pook, molly and of course TJ so i can cover him in ‘please wear a helmet’ stickers.

met around 100ish in total over the 3 swinley sexy parties. could really do with meeting more as this forum is an IMMENSELY more fun place when you’ve met people in person and used it to organise dirtyplaytime in the woods 😀 its near impossible to get wound up or offended by posts when you’ve met the person in real life and know that you could crush them with your penislittle finger, thus rendering all their internet hard man battle warrior cries redundant (*cough* yeti *cough*)

xx

nbt, back up again tomorrow night till Friday. hora’s swearing not to do rounds. 🙄

I think I met Ton at last year’s BBB, who seemed like a nice fella, (is he a big bloke who rides a Singular?) but I don’t think he’d like to repeat the experience as my 3 year old ‘had an accident’ and cried the campsite down at 5 am right next to his tent.

(*cough* yeti *cough*)

For that, I’m doing no more ‘meet and greets’, no more book signings, no more amusing after dinner speaches, no more nothing.

I’m retired. I’m going full roadie.

This got me thinking about the people i’ve met/been riding with from STW

I’ve met

tollah, tazzy, militant/vegan graham, King of sweden, singlespeedstu, sofaking, sharki, Sam@singular, jedi, terrahawk, Tootall, chas (thurman merman), tazzy, Stevebarbarian, markenduro, mark@joyriders, sioffofwebbs

AHEM!! F***ing charming, we’ve only met and ridden together about ten or twelve times…

Anyway, ignoring Trickydisco, who is dead to me now, I’ve met loads from here, all of whom have been lovely boys and girls (even Sheldon).

I’ve not yet met Hora, and I suppose you should try everything once… 🙂

I had to travel all the way darn there to meet you IHN, as I firmly believed you could be my long lost brother, and we were separated at birth.

I’m still not entirely convinced you’re not 😀

I’m the Leia to your Luke 🙂

I’d like to meet Cinnamon_girl, molgrips, deadlydarcy, jamie, idave, philc, and trickydisco. Have met loads of stw’ers over the years.

Talk to the hand girlfriend! *flounce*

deadlydarcy – Member

nbt, back up again tomorrow night till Friday. hora’s swearing not to do rounds.

When we all going out then Bravisimo? Anyway, we now know Tory Boy’s weak spot. We can all gang up and bully him and MAKE him buy us drinks. In fact, we should all have elaborate cocktails when its his round. I’m going to give him a wedgie until he buys me an Exspresso Martini 😀

Prob do Wednesday or Thursday again binbins. Does either suit nbt?

Fudge. Already busy every night this week except Tuesday. Wednesday’s the one easiest to shift, will see if I can rearrange it.

Ernie
Teej
Darcy

I’ve met quite a few off here and generally it has been a most rewarding and sometimes drunken and hilarious experience. Beer and Dan stand out in that respect.

Please bully him Binners, please. You know it will make me very happy to know that he is suffering. 😀

To become more popular on STW will now be my new year’s resolution.

Crispy Bacon (again), cos Mrs Bacon seems to send him out with enormous amounts of amazing cake!

I’ve met quite a few STWers and they’ve all been tremendously lovely and good humoured.

I’d like to meet TSY, Camo16 and Cougar and any of the women. I’m a girls man 😉

SaxonRider, it was you that was in Cardiff wasn’t it? If so, group riding is essential to increasing your popularity, and you don’t have to wait til the new year to do it!

Like to have a beer with Northwind has had a good few chat torments over the years
and have a ride with Ton after seeing his mad biking video attempts
Also Hora simply to find out Why he gets such a hard time on here!

when you’ve met the person in real life and know that you could crush them with your penislittle finger, thus rendering all their internet hard man battle warrior cries redundant

Good grief, you can crush people with you penis!

<makes mental note to ensure presence at the next sexyswinley party for demonstration>

<ponders whether saying ‘jjust off to see someone from stw crush someone with their penis at a sexy party would go down well in the marital home> 😳

CFH and Elfin.
CFH to see his gold bike but seems he may not exist – gutted!

So it’s just you Elf. Not coming to London though.
