And in particular the joketastic one where the guy was having problems with the 'wife password' or somesuch.

Search skills required seem to be beyond me. I know some of you have these threads bookmarked. Go on then. Blast from the past.

What's the story behind the bearded lad with a track pump inflating a tyre, or penguin or some other thing that's been super-imposed?!

He's on P3 of the Show me your Covert thread, amongst many others.

Bestest ever favourite has got to be ... Jensen button and the guy who bought his Yeti ARC CX bike.

The guy that bought it was complaining that he had been diddled out of his cash. Everyone goes on the normal manhunt/waiting with biscuits.

Best response was from one member who had been checking out the buyers forum history, then posted "if you ever get it you'll only end up selling it two weeks later". Sure enough, dude posted it up for sale once he eventually got his hands on it.

Jenson Button's thread was brilliant. Reminded me of the one from the guy who brought a disc rotor from Merlin, that was comedy gold too (edit... [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/merklin-cycles-pulling-a-fast-con-be-cautious ]this one[/url].)

Picolax anyone?

I was doing a google search last night and the first result was 'singletrackworld: picolax thread'. I freely admit there was no way in hell I was going there.

The link to the picolax thread I found was on a medical forum.

Maybe we need a classics forum like mumsnet. We seem to be mostly AIBU most of the time anyway!

I remember there was someone looking for advice on stalking a young woman at a gym, but can't remember much else to judge its classicity. Can't even remember the outcome. Wasn't Hora the relationship guru? Did he pull?

Say [i]what?[/i] I only went to a gym for a short time with a bunch of friends, and gave up after they all left, that was back in the early 90's!
I would never, [i]ever[/i], bother going to a gym after a girl, I'm too unfit and I'd be far too embarrassed when my sorry lack of fitness became too obvious.
Sorry, t'wern't me.
Oh, and I'm too chuffing old! 😳

I showed the picolax thread to a friend who, obviously, found it hilarious. She finds it less funny now that she has found out that this time next week she will be taking the first sachet...

Ai the gym thread was mine. Can't find it though, iirc the thread title was "Gym Etiqutte" . 10 years ago was that, went on a few dates with her

Saw her not long ago in my local, I was with Miss Houns. I had a very lucky escape

Years ago I remember chatting to a female STW'er (no friendly not like that) and she told me of her mate who had said something nice - you know just NORMAL to another STW'er on STW and the next thing you know she gets a pic of his schlong emailed to her. She said there was no correlation between the limited contact and the pic- it was almost like the bloke had lept 4 steps ahead in his head.

Weird.

From memory he was quite a prolific poster too.

I'm sure Houns and CZ get mistaken for each other all the time. That said I don't know who should feel most libelled as a result 🙂

That was 42.

Now, I'm pretty sure that [i]was[/i] CZ

I liked the "how do you deal with asky people" one, which I can't now find, even Google links just take you to the forum homepage. That was very amusing. Can't believe it was pre-hack.

hora, yep seriously, saw them myself. It's not something I'm likely to forget in a hurry. the BM contributor who mostly devised Emily got a email "from a solicitor" regarding it, clearly had come from 42 himself.

It was bonkers. I think the BM contributor who had most control of "Emily" had sent 42 a pretty lighthearted email asking for a photo, that's pretty much what we got back, him semi naked; then naked, then key action...it was, weird to say the least...

y'know I didn't stare at the picture long enough to discern the sort of key it was, it was more "I can see a mans butt, his hand...is that a bunch of keys he's holding...oh my ****ing good god what is this shit!"

Like I said...Odd
