    Did i hurt your feelings?

    Anyway not sure where this product applies, maybe you'll get more of a response on the roadie forum. Harder to talk when youre in traffic and aren't stopping for a break/chat for 10 miles at a time. In mountain biking at least we stop and have time to talk every few minutes.

    Neat, but definitely more use on a road ride.

    I love this forum, it's a great balance between people who have information to share and people who want to flame them for it...
    A berm? were you expecting one?

    Indeed, much like how someone else will instantly jump in to join in.

    "Jokes" which just involve being abusive at the OP don't really work on forums, stick a smilie on the end and it lightens the tone of the message a bit at least.

    Bollocks - no one was being abusive. Joke based on that Youtube vid was doing the rounds a few weeks ago. Op used enough smilies for everyone - if it was such a serious post, he shouldn't have used them.

    Wow, bit of an anger management issue there, eh?
    Before posting such insane nonsense, try to look at what you've typed, and try to consider who's really going to look like a jackass. It was a joke. About Surrey.
    Learn some humility.

    Yeehaa - nice to see you are back!

    I take it you meant 'inane' not insane. I think the guy's got issues, not to mention not knowing the difference between your and you are....

    And for what it's worth I did giggle at bennett's joke which was clearly not a direct dig at the OP....

    this does seem a slight over-reaction to a gentle bit of ribbing. troll is a strong word, he made a joke, at the expense of a clearly generalised and incorrect stereotype of surrey mountain bikers more than yourself.

    whether or not he is a big man i couldn't tell you.

    Frankly I can't be bothered with it. Fuck me, I posted an article about a bluetooth headset..not diamond encrusted valve covers! :D

    I do love the way people do bully and troll on forums though. Like the other jackass who says I have issues because i dared to the criticise the troll.

    Yee is a jackass, but a funny one who knows his stuff.... You can't call troll without actually knowing a bit about the forum poster. Poor grammar just makes you look like a bit of a fool, that's all.

    Agreed. That's what the internet variety of emoticons were created for and they are damned useful too. :)

    I saw bennetts post and laughed out loud. I then saw the ever so slightly OTT wtf response and thought WTF.

    It was a joke, now that this has been pointed out please accept it and move on.

    I agree with the first half of that statement, and it would appear that I have succesfully duped you into believing the second half :lol:
