'Sup homies!

I just wondered if you guys venture onto other forums or follow any blogs/columns?

I like Charlie Brooker's stuff. The Daily Mash is always good for a laugh at the news.

And then there's blogs like Angry Mob and Five Chinese Crackers and the Mailwatch forum.

It's always good to get a different view on things, so what else do you do on the internet? No 4XJ style shenanigans though please! :shock:

  • Mainly found on here these days.

    I'll have a read of the news sites every now and again.

    Check in on the local MTB club site from time to time to see if there's anything useful on there.

    Sometimes contribute to sites like Lolpresidents and the like.

    I post a bit on forums.somethingawful.com the MTB thread there is dominated by fat Americans who buy big downhill rigs then never ride them.*





    *An exaggeration.

    Also terrengsykkel.no which is a Norwegian MTB forum with good local knowledge.
  • I spend quite a lot of time on facebook instead of revision. Also visit www.britishrally.co.uk and use the forums a fair amount.

    Thats about it really.

    Here, the secret surf one that surfmatt uses, some crossfit sites. Would prefer to have more to fill my time with but most are populated by fuckheads so I don't wanna get involved.

    I'm on facebook, because someone mysteriously created a page on it in my name - I suddenly started getting facebook friend requests out of the blue. Very strange!
    I did a password reset thing, and a link was sent to my email, so whoever first created it for me can't get in anymore.

    I didnt mean that no. There is a fan page for me and yes I made it.
  • Blogs are an interesting one. There's not many that hold my attention. It's generally self indulgent crap. I read Charlie Brooker's columns when I'm at work - but only because I'm at work. I like David Mitchell's stuff too.

    Other than that I used to read Violent Acres regularly. Very well written and very opinionated. Haven;t read it for ages though - this topic reminded me of it.

    And Hardcore Zen. I even have a signed CD from the guy...

    Andy's a terrifyingly good Facebook stalker...

    This is a major reason I'm not a member.
