RudeBoy – just seen Jimi and what can I say? It makes me sad …

mboy – Aleigh is gorgeous too!

Got any more vino? The bottle’s empty, must have spilled some :oops:

pk – so do you!

OK – much discussion tomorrow then!

Dave Gilmour is quite a handy guitarist admittedly.

Jon Anderson lost the plot hence the talk of triple concept albums.

Endoscopes – lovely comparison!

Anyone into King Crimson? In The Court of the Crimson King anyone?

Just listening to the love of my life (Ryan Adams), will get to Jimi soon!

Hope there’s no misbehavin going on? No wait, this is STW, that’s what goes down.

Rudeboy – he was just a bit misunderstood, being a Londoner and all that. Pretty stressful place to live.

But I’m a really chilled out person…

bruneep – like some water?

Oh RudeBoy – we will have to disagree! I’ve seen them both, in fact saw Floyd when they presented Dark Side of the Moon at Wembley. Also saw Roger Gilmour and Roger Waters a couple of years ago at a very un-PC event.

Rick Wakeman is very talented – saw him live when Journey to the Centre of the Earth was recorded. A unique experience.

The trouble was that the prog rock thing just got so pretentious …

neverfastenuff – correct! There was smoke coming out of it and Greg Lake used to stand on a Persian rug!!

bruneep – he’s a bit of a legend! Think it all started with the Friday eating, drinking, listening thread.

Got any more youtube recommendations anyone?

Gary Moore with Greg Lake? Oh, didn’t know that. Saw Gary when he was playing on B B King’s 80th birthday tour. Hoped that the two of them would play together again but they didn’t.

Saw ELP when they “presented” Tarkus, that kinda stuff was all new then!

You do realise that it was my fiancee that originally started this thread (before he was “not allowed” on here)? We must be talking quite a few months ago now, his name is FredDibnah/PaddedBra. Have you heard of him?

neverfastenuff – embrace your years!

RudeBoy – no, I disagree. Reckon King Crimson/Yes/ELP.

gus – as I said above, embrace your years!

AdamT – I have a loud voice and a dog whistle, will that help? 40 people? I’m expecting double that! We will have some “strategically placed” locals to direct the traffic.

Sandwich – no, it’s just that pk needs taming!

Lurve the music, more please.

I suspect I will end up splitting my sides at how up their ar$es they all were!

C’mon gus, you’re pulling my leg!

Anyone seen them live?

mboy – good stuff! It’s not every day you will get the opportunity to meet someone like me :D

Oi you Southern Shandy Drinkers – stop sniggering :wink:

Just ignore pk – he wants to get pushed in the lake :twisted:

wanna slap pk?

Wow – it’s gonna be quite a turnout!

mboy – put your foot down, you’ll get there quicker! It’s not every day you get the chance of being led around trails by two gorgeous girlies :wink:

Hello bikey, yes I remember you! Oversubscribed? There’s room for everyone, including slackers!

neverfastenuff – seen Gary Moore twice!

RudeBoy – how do you know I’m a rock chick? I’m not shy, will happily go in the mosh pit. Don’t need a chair, I’m not that old :D

Air guitar?

I’m looking forward to joining them once I’m too old for this lark. Reckon I’ll fit in just fine, apart from not wanting to stuff my face full of cake :D

Er no, again!

yeah I know what you are saying! Turn it around and make a joke! At least it’s not “where’s your bell?” or “he doesn’t bite”.

theotherjonv – our ride will be much more fun! I’m sure we’ll be easy to spot, snake-like through the singletrack!

Hey – they are getting out and having fun and eating cake, don’t knock it! Better than larding on the sofa surely?

We all get comments from all sorts of people. Once, when I was riding, I was called a w**ker by a female (and I am a female), was so shocked that I laughed and then received another torrent of abuse. Priceless!

Er no, I can’t do my thang to Kylie 8O

I do have taste you know!

My beer is served at room temperature!

rocketdog – that’s enough from you!

pk – you obviously want an industrial-sized fridge then! Or go shopping more often?

change the bl***y music and I might come :wink:

ripper – fits under worktop, has a little freezer at the top. Works perfectly as I have tested it, is in immaculate condition, have manual too. You would have to collect from near Swinley.

Yours for a donation to STW.

r6ymy – I hope you aren’t implying that Aleigh and I are unable to control a crowd of STW’ers?

Take 2 feisty ladies plus some “strategically placed” locals and, in the words of the inimitable WorldClassAccident, “what could possibly go wrong?” :D

Worry not, I have done this sort of thing before … many times … but not with such an eclectic gathering 8)

We can’t wait!

dobo – Happy New Year, glad you’re coming and you will see some different trails to yesterday!

Does a broken body count? Tennis elbow – perhaps I should kick the singlespeed cos that’s to blame!

WCA – you never clean your bikes! This must be a New Year resolution, right?

WCA – don’t forget the flyers for the BigBikeBash, they can be handed out with the vouchers. Happy New Year to you!

forge – it’s always interesting to see these videos, get a different perspective. The Labyrinth looks so cool 8)

giantjason – there’s so many good bits to Swinley. Come along on 10th January and be shown a selection. Hard to describe where The Deer Stalker is, it’s past The Wall and is a newish trail that was cut off The Labyrinth.

auricgoldfinger – everyone welcome! Retail therapy is always good.

db – no excuses, Soton is only an hour away!

atlaz – can I have your e-mail address please?

pk – reckon aleigh will need to keep you under control :wink:

Thanks for the replies and offers of helping, much appreciated.

pete – you need to tell J that the Spring range is making an appearance!

pk – there’s a place nearby that is warmer and safer than the forest, shall I make a reservation for you??!! You can almost see it from Swinley! Top quality clientele!

Sandwich – I couldn’t possibly comment!

rOcKeTdOg – I don’t think you ride a bike cos you never come to any of our events!

Just under 30km for me but that included riding there, cheeky bit of singletrack before meeting you guys and then some downhill fun after I left you then rode home! Also took the ‘scenic route’ to The Deer Stalker where funnily enough spotted 3 deer crossing the track on the way there. Twas pretty.

Happy New Year everyone :D

No ladies will admit to having any – that’s why beauty salons were invented :roll:

Aleigh – a prerequisite is to have a sense of humour for this ride! As I’m leading I will also provide the entertainment – good job I can laugh at myself :roll:

Blokes do come off sometimes but it’s normally when nobody else is looking!

The Swinley Forest STW Forum Ride on 10th January 2009 of course! Blatantly copying WCA’s marketing strategy :D
