Remember, to us Sussex folk, the midlands start at Crawley... Are you
sure you're southern?

 

I'm lying in a hospital,
I'm pinned against the bed.
A stethoscope upon my heart,
A hand against my head.
They're peeling off the bandages.
I'm wincing in the light.
The nurse is looking anxious,
And she's quivering in fright...

I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes.

There appears to be a hardcore of posters, one in particular, who
haven't made a relevant bike related post in over a year. However they
are pretty handy with the car posts. Why can't they take them to a car
ng, where they need the traffic? This is a bike ng.

He's actually younger than I am.

 

I used to live there... as a small child, and only because my father saw the
sense in selling his house, just so he could blow the money on a Cortina Mk3
1600 GT in some putrid mustardy yellow, *and* get a guaranteed council house
into the bargain.

T'was in the mid 70s, when it boomed there so quickly, they couldn't get
people to take up the jobs fast enough.

And then we moved back in a easterly direction from whence we'd came, by the
early 80s - the place was that charming.

 

Good man.

That's called human conversation. If you ever left the pc or telly
alone for a minute and went outdoors you'd see.

I used to moan about that too.

Diversity is good. Blatant off topic bollocks is bad. Write that down
in your notebooks would you?

It would be nice to have some bike or biker realted content once in a
while. As I said further up the thread, it's not got to be about
bikes, but either bike related, or about something that effects readers
or posters. A kit car that no-one here owns, on a programme that
no-one here contributed to, is a bit remote isn't it?

Actually it never was what it once was.

Cos they were shit? Why bother meeting a bunch of sad no-hopers who
you have only conversed with on the Interweb, trying to pretend that
your sad empty lives are deep and meaningful; All you have in common is
a lack of real life mates and a motorbike of some sort.

Icy you say? That makes all the difference. I take back all my
comments about cage discussions being off topic then.

That's the first one still growing. And you misspelled scrotum.

 

I do smell of wee though.

 

Simon Atkinson says...

I didn't want to mention it, I'm too nice like that

 

Aye - Crawley - a little bit of paradise on the flight path to hell.

 

You're the same age as me aren't you?

 

*shrug*

It's an unmoderated NG... you see people asking for advice on PCs, and
mobile phones... they give book reviews, discuss food, drink, DVDs, 'Jews
for Jesus' and anything else in between and beyond, that springs to mind and
invariably then goes off on several unrelated tangents.

So it works both ways - you're not out of the park for publically airing
your views regarding the off topic aspects of it all, but as I say,
*shrug*... unless you think this should become a moderated group (which
would end it as far as I am concerned, and there are many moderated forums
on the net as it is that would cater in this respect), I say live and let
live - mark those and the threads concerned with the 'ignore' flag.

And yes, given my biting and arguing in the past, I have no room to talk
when it comes to 'ignoring' things, so feel free to brand me the hypocrite I
am, like most others are on usenet! ;-)

Yes... and?

;-)

 

Meaning that you (as do others)choose not to comment when certain people
post car related shite, yet will happily flame others when they post
similar, but hey this is usenet so I guess we can all apply our own rules
as and when it pleases us. FWIW my view is this is UKRM and the topic
should be motorcycle based as far as is reasonably practicable.

HTH

 

I've been back since... they've dropped more concrete on the centre, like
most places, since I lived there, and built more mock exec places you can
see from the M23.

The people I met in shops etc., struck me as ruder than the rude ones that
serve you here.

And that was the lasting impression, really - hence why I've not gone there
since other than to drop and run.

 

You can never go back eh?

Hmmm.... You can take the boy out of Crawley, but you can't take
Crawley out of the boy.

 

Aha...hahaha...ha

Very good.

You should be on telly... I hear they're looking to make another series of
'Grumpy Old Cunts'.

 

Gary dont need his eyes to see
Gary and his eyes have parted company

 

Ta matey.

I'm not at all grumpy - I am cheeriness and charm personified.

:-D

There, does that help?

 

Is that an advert?

Fucking hell. If you're going to do that again, put your teeth in first,
eh?
