How many complete nob heads are there in one place!?
I've not come across a bigger gathering of "my c0cks bigger than yours" type old men anywhere in my life! The guy who rolled up next to us in a brand new Porsche jeep thing imediatley proceeded to chat complete tosh about how amazing he was at his sales job and how he got his manager sacked and a whole load of other tosh, but to my amazment, then started to slate his "friends" tatty people carrier, who then completely sucked up to his "mate" with money!
...Last time I was there was about 6 years ago, but felt a lot different, I'm starting to understand why there's a lot of people on here who slate the trail centres!

that's nothing to do with trail centres, that's humanity.
which trail centre?0 -
It's the nature of sales people, they really do believe their job is the most important in the world.
What's a trail centre anyway? People visit there to be told where to ride their bike? And in any case why would anyone drive there? They don't have bicycles to use?0 -
Kill the sales people, world will be a better place..0

I believe that it has been proven that the biggest concentration of 'complete doorknob heads' in the whole entire universe is in Crudcatcher.
Confirmation of said proof being the OP.I don't do smileys.

Nope, didn't really pay attention to the bike but was some carbon fibre full sus.... Didn't see that many Orange 5's which was quite surprising as last time I was there, those were all I noticed, seems they've moved on from that bike

utterly awful they chat at you in the car park, then up the climbs, then getting tools of them is an utter pain when you are missing the right one so smug they have the correct one :P0 -

Hang on a minute. You're calling people who visit trail centres knobs. But you were at a trail centre?

Fair enough - if he has given up on life to the extent that he not only purchases a people carrier and then chooses to drive it at the w.end he deserves being ripped to pieces0 -
People carriers are great! At least when you have people to carry!pity those who don't drink, the way they feel when they wake is the best they will feel all day

I have a people carrier and fully admit that owning one is a statement to the world that you've given up on life for a few years.
Thing is, they're so practical .... :P0 -

Can't remember which Hitch Hikers book it is, but there is a point where Arthur Dent ends up on a planet populated only by sales and advertising people. They were all told there was an emergency on Earth and packed off in the first shuttle to re-settle another planet. They were told "everyone else will be along later..."
Not such a bad plan perhaps...Proved by testing to be faster than a badger.

I don't think it's anything to do with trail centres, it's just humanity in general. You get the same dicks in any hobby or sport (especially ones which involve expensive equipment) - visit any "bikers" hang out (Squires, Devil's Bridge, Matlock Bath etc) and you'll witness such an olympic standard of bellendery and codshit talking that it makes you ashamed to be associated with such a shower of clueless, wannabe, gobshite, all the gear and no idea sad tossers. I went to Gisburn trail centre for the first time last weekend on my own and tagged along with a group I met part way round (three girls and a bloke) and they were friendly, welcoming, down to earth and funny, and I had a much more enjoyable day than I would've had on my own. They even gave me a slice of chocolate birthday cake when we got back to the carpark.0

they are great, you can use them to carry bikes, kayaks, snowboards, surfboards, climbing gear, and they have seats in them for your mates to jump in too.VWsurfbum wrote:matthew h wrote:Woodmonkey wrote:People carriers are great! At least when you have people to carry!

Of course, it kind of depends on you having mates, who want to go somewhere interesting, to do fun things.0 -
Be a lot of borrowing when all of said people belong to you. It doesn't mean you've given up on life, just the marketing mans vision that a car does something other than gets you from one place to another! anyway, I wouldn't pull my caravan with anything else!matthew h wrote:Woodmonkey wrote:People carriers are great!
