That Phil bloke seems well informed about other countries. and generous in outlook towards his fellow Brits, doesn’t he? I feel we might learn much from him.

And within minutes one shows up, its like the saying you’re never more than 6 feet from a rat.

Perhaps if we all acknowledged our obvious inferiority to the master race daaaaahn saaaaarf they’d be nicer to us?

No and you would still be carrying on like a mug, the French would have burned the country to the ground by now , you wouldn’t catch them taking snippets from websites and posting them on the web in protest for their mates to have a chortle at.

Carry on complaining whilst it happens in front of you and doing nothing about it.

The aftermath where you say there’s nothing we could do will be equally as brilliant.

It gets better.

Just read how much Ireland , Scotland and the Welsh actual cost us to support including the whiny northern scum that complain its all so unfair about how London is the most important part of the country

erm actually he just pointed out that your claim it was a protection racket was poorly thought through (much like brexit in general!)

No he didn’t he missed the fact that like most protectionist operations unless your paying in you don’t get the benefits of the big hitters.

I think you may have to look up the meaning of ‘protection racket’. Just a minor detail but I don’t think that many protection rackets end up as net contributors to their protection racket, actually paying money out. And the other members of said schemes don’t generally end up as net beneficiaries.

At least it was VIZ and not the mash ad nauseum.

The rest was just the usual I’m right because my other agreeable people say so drivel, Suck it up buttercup its happening and your moaning on the web about it did nothing.

Wales will stick with us till the bitter end

Because they have nothing else. FFS what does Wales have to actually offer. No oil whisky or salmon.

Haven’t you got a Daily Express editorial column to be writing?

I suppose it’s only marginally better than cut, copy & pasting the daily mash or whatever they think up for you.

The continent of Europe contains 44 countries.

Even better what do the other 42 do then? Other than pay into the protection racket.

Europe is made up of France and Germany with 25 other hangers on providing a bit of mutual support for each other and paying into the protection racket?

The other 25 countries ?

the queen should surely step in soon

“Boris you’re **** up my empire”

Maybe it is time to cut Scotland and Ireland loose, see how they get on.

Why not give it to the NHS instead?

Because it will be privatised next year.

Question: If Torys loose Brecon and Radnorshire to the Lib dems, so their majority is one; what happens if two tories defect? Do they just stick as a minority govt or is there a mechanism where the other parties could club together to say they have a majority coalition without a VONC?

No Boris will get some Irish party to join up, Promising them free reign and a united Ireland, God awful country…. take it ,can hear him now

To be honest if Boris hopefully demolishes the backstop at least the yanks wont want a trade agreement , and there’s only one set of idiots id rather see the back of than the Tories and that’s warmongering money grabbing American politicians.

Governement have plans to wipe out smoking period by 2030 no??

going to be a short lived legalization

Personally I don’t mind people smoking it but do dislike the smell.

Should you be able to say to someone , just head over there mate I don’t want to breathe your shit in.

Terminally offended people!!

I was absolutely apauled and therefore joined.
its unacceptable…

This has to be a troll. This is the most blue pilled forum on the interwebs I know of. There is literally a thread about how bikes are bad for the environment ffs.

Wonders if apauled is related to ru-pauled.

keep skilled jobs in the UK

I hate to break it to you but the people who exist outside of shithole Britain are equally if not far more skilled and some don’t entitle themselves because they are british.

Just sayin

Even if Britain produced electric cars that were the best in the world the board of the company would only sell off the IP to the highest bidder lining their own pension pot/pocket, that’s providing they hadn’t sold the company to keep it afloat to the Indians!!

Bye Britain

I don’t ride an e bike and I’ve never ridden or thought of getting one myself.
Im neither for or against there use either but the actual terminology and vile language and hatred used in this thread by some people is absolutely disgusting.
My daughter is a user on here who showed me this thread and I was absolutely apauled and therefore joined.
its unacceptable.
My job as a criminal intelligence analyst leaves me frustrated that such trivia can cause so much anger and going through the op,s posts on here along with the others I’m going to politly ask that you step away from the forum for a few days to reflect on the importance things in life that actually matter .
I’ve also emailed my contact details to stw if they need any assistance with this unacceptable behaviour that is quite frankly rife on some of these threads.
We have just taken 10 posts at random from the last 3 pages and 3 threads have completely the wrong tone .
I don’t need to remind you life is very short .use it wisely.

Holy crap. I will never have an issue with the mods or the anti-howard again.

Cars are going electric to #savetheplanet cyclist should too.

Motocross is also fun but I wouldn’t ride one through the woods for funs sake

Why deprive yourself of the joy of watching mincing e bikers scatter and then complaining as if they are holier than thou art on a forum full of people who don’t ride later.

Sucked up a Chihuahua.

Interestingly there are plenty of very fast people in Sheffield, some who have raced on the world stage.

I like it when you see some goon who has a photo of their ebike claim the big climb over a world class mtb rider and then still contest it was ok believe me.

Go out and buy an ebike have done with it.

The disappearance of “Mike Smith”

If it’s voluntary, presumably you could just ignore it anyway?
More sort of guidance than an instruction?

Completely agree

At least Storey can go back to running Sick bikes now.

Next model the lightningboltiscist.

You should try being a teacher or a fireman!

Pah, why get a proper job when you can ponce about with bikes all day.

The Dyson thing is shite – we got a ‘Heat and Cool’ one for the office –
Yes it heats but it *DOES NOT* cool – it just blows ambient air around. IE,
a fan.

Thanks again Phil, but I’m not actually asking for hand dryer

Good job it seems they’re both shite.

Maybe standing in a carrier bag will let you keep your shoes clean at least whilst in the toilet.

Oakshit says her life is private and shouldn’t be in the limelight something to do with a brexiteer who left his wife for her , but oddly is a mucka of farage, now the Met are looking into it.

Odd that.

Anything that doesn’t leave a high powered jet of used soap and water scum down the wall or on the floor or on your shirt or on your trousers.

Dyson stuff is shite especially those airblades.

How about a nice bird of prey.

“in 2015 Johnson has this to say about the then Presidential hopeful: “Donald Trump’s ill-informed comments are complete and utter nonsense. I think he’s betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him frankly unfit to hold the office of President of the United State”

Maybe he will resign when he becomes PM or is it fake news?

To be replaced by Piers Morgan.

Farage says he could be useful in the role.

I find no guilt associated with being privileged. I am white, intelligent, had good upbringing and have been relatively successful (monetarily). At no point in my life have I ever had to put much effort in to get to where I am.
I am very privileged but rather than feeling guilty I feel empathy to those that do not have the same privileges and accept how lucky I have been.
Those that cannot accept where they are privileged tend to be the types of people who just say the less privileged should have worked harder, done what they did etc,. with no sense of the privileges they had. They tend to be right wing/conservatives.

Funny that because I’m a borderline communist. The term doesn’t bother me and doesn’t bother you. It does, however, seem to bother quite a few and not help to form a constructive debate on issues it is trying to address. Therefore would it not be more beneficial to use different terminology in order to try and help others empathise? Just trying to see this from a different angle given some of the responses on here and other media when Xxxxx privilege is used.

Boris and Jeremy on the same forum?

How many days now till the mate who worked for them relaunches the brand ?

Cant find the July drop clock website.

It’s distracting ..

So you like fat chicks.

At least it’s not a cap.

WRONG

He will be at peak apogee now realizing an entire thread has been started in his honour and granted entry to the big shitter hall of fame.

Standard stw response calling out the op.

Or just being a Knob?

Would I pay 50 quid for a race? NOT A CHANCE

I live in one of the most deprived wards in the country and I still managed to learn how to spell complicated words like “of.” There is probably some correlation between upbringing and basic education but I doubt it’s an exclusive one.

It’s not one that has allowed any of the folks who are so desperate to remain they will pander to the EU FAILING to realise that eventually the EU will end and each country will go back to looking after number 1, the hand-out’s that keep a lot of lazy bastards in work , will stop, I can see why they are worried. It’s the Country version of being on state benefits depending on where you are in the pecking order.

If we don’t stand on our own two feet or at least learn to instead of relying on hand-out’s then all your worries about your kids futures will just be offset till their kids futures.

Short term pain.

At some point, folk need to commit to a third party

They already have , but tuck your head back in and continue believing your denial that BREXIT isn’t a party and labour and conservatives are the two options.

Really? I know Reynolds Ti Tubing is done using a mandrell.

That’s certainly not the case for Aerospace tubing. Sanding and grinding of Ti is a big no no.

How many Titanium bikes have you built using aerospace sanded or grinded tubing?

It’s how Lynskey and lots of other places do it.

How many Titanium bikes have lynskey made?

No he received some bullying and some quite uncesseary abuse from people on the internet, he asked for items to be removed to prevent that happening again. If you think he’s deserved the abuse he received then I suggest you’re part of the problem.

You could say the same about forums that let one set of people say one thing then don’t like it when people retaliate, I think YOU know full well these people picked a side, in his case Sick , then didn’t like it when things weren’t quite going so well for him , a bit like the mob mentality on here only that you don’t have control of what happens off this site eh? Maybe I am part of the problem but I don’t enable it.

Some (mtbing) ****s started directing homophobic abuse at him, for having a certain brand of bike

Perhaps a non polite **** OFF in their direction then from him. Maybe he didn’t offer them a fight in the car park as some do.

Joe had a lot of crap on the web, not entirely tied in with the Sick connection that he seems to have been playing down.

Oh so internet nobody becomes a celebrity by being a gobshite riding the wave of SICKLORDS then regrets it? Is that what happened?

At Least Tom has a backbone .

Posted it on pinkbike YET?

Is it one of @sickengineer or whatever his name now is designs that Marino has built that he’s now flogged on?? Is there a reason for the stealth bomber levels of secrecy , its a bike FFS
