[Closed] Someone is blackmailing me with video of me doing something shameful.

Get it out and ride it round in public as much as you can

Pay, and keep paying whatever it takes to stop that video from coming out.

PS send me 20 quid by paypal gift or I will send your family a link to this thread.

Is buying an appollo bike as shameful as going into B&M and pooing on the floor?

Have you considered taking the easy way out and topping yourself?

Never mind the make, what sized wheels did it have?

Ride it to Aldi. Lock it up outside. Await scorn.

I bet it was a 69er, the pervert!

I have a cunning plan , buy a nine inch angle grinder then video yourself hacking said bike to bits ,post vid on myface and tell him where to shove the 20 quid.

Alternatively, take it to a trail centre and rip the legs off all those insufferable poseurs with £5,000+ bikes.

I love it when this happens, I got chatting to some Polish guys in the famous woods behind Nationwide in Swindon, they were on £200 bikes and getting looks of scorn, they burned all the sneerers. Oh how I laughed.

Don't worry OP

[i]If it's got shocks n pegs... you are lucky! You can go take it off some sweet jumps?[/i]

And

[i]Is a Liger your favorite animal?
Like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.[/i]

Why not take some arty photos of it and publish them before the video goes online?

What is the opposite of the Edinburgh defence?

Have you told your family ? ....it's a tricky one

Tough call

Hang your head in shame.

My mates and I have rode worse. We bought £59 specials from Halfords, on offer, and entered one of the Dragon DH races in Mid-Wales. I managed to do three corners and a small drop before the forks snapped. My mate, who shall remain nameless, snapped his chain over the same drop but managed to make it all of the way down the hill.

He was not last. 😆

The Edinburgh Offence surely?

Jekyll I don't think these people were up early enough to see the potential classic thread that was so cruelly ripped from our grasp.

Unknown,
Agreed, it would have been a classic. I got the first few posts early, then got to work and there was a second page, but by the time I clicked on page 2, it had gone!

I'd book marked (mentally) for later viewing much dissapointment that its gone 🙁

^ That 66deg video is sheer comedy gold. Someone needs to do a parody of it.. 😆

Rather worryingly, though, it actually has me sold. The thing looks awesome - a 'split steel alloy frame'... FULL suspension that 'soaks up THE roughest of terrain'.

Looks freakin' awesome!!!

I check back to see this mornings thread thinking this was it and I'm very disappointed to read that it has been tossed.

There was a similar dilemma this morning on here, that could have helped, but it's vanished now 🙁

I actually thought it was until he got on about the free build and service!

Erm...am I missing something?

What's wrong with Apollos exactly?

I have two in my fleet!!

What are you guys riding that's any better??

Did he really call the tyres "wheels"?
OP - at least you weren't on the Muddy Fox.

they then proceeded to get their muddy fox out

Is that inuendo?

What thread this morning? no idea what you're all on about, this is a true dilema please take it seriously, what if my wife finds out?

I needed a big box to post some wheels so went to Halfords at lunchtime today as they're always good for a bike box.

I just had to carry this home and into the house;

Not the Edinburgh Defence - that fine, much maligned strategy is still being refined and expanded by it's exponents.

This could be an example of Schrodingers Anomoly, whereby the intentions of the poster can only be truly ascertained once a concensus is established.

🙂

Closely related to The Rules Dichotomy - whereby someone has been so overexposed to to the internet that they no longer know what they want take the piss out of, or why.
See Rules threads, where people queue up to belittle something they are ashamed to admit they believe in.

Gwin??

What thread this morning? no idea what you're all on about, this is a true dilema please take it seriously, what if my wife finds out?

There was a thread this morning with a title very similar to this one, but nothing to do with bikes. I guess it was removed because it was in the the bike forum when it should have been in the chat forum.

Bit more than "chatting" going on 😉

what if my wife finds out?

That scenario is becoming more and more likely the longer it takes for my 20 quid to arrive.

I'm going on Holiday to france next week, maybe I'll take my Apollo and take a picture of it next to the Effiel tower.

Stcik a couple of dynamos on it and a seate cover, then sling it on Ebay as some kind of rad custom bike and sell it to some mug for a squillion pounds. We'll see who's laughing then.

Somebody posted with a story of having hooked with with a random 'lady' on Skype and choked his chicken, to the most satisfactory conclusion, while this lady jiggled her ample frontage for him. Said lady then told him that she'd recorded his exploits and that he must pay her €1000 or she'd post footage of these illicit manipulations to all of his friends and family on Facepage.

Before the mods had a seizure and deleted the post, what sensible advice did the OP receive?

Damn, was looking forward to the original thread. Could have turned into a STW classic.

Never show your knob to anyone on the internet.

or alternatively, get in their first and show your knob to *everyone* so the threat is meaningless

unfortunately I had to work this morning. Did we ever find out what the OP planned to do? (the knob photo OP not the Apollo OP, that is)

I think it was somewhere in line with your own initial advice and he was off to show his to knob to all of his friends and family.

the Op also said it was under another log in and the mob were still to decipher which big hitter it might have been.
*this thread deleted in ....5...4...3..*

Oh, I think the pseudonym had already been ascertained.

I [s]can't[/s] won't take the credit for that masterplan, someone else posted it this morning

If you can really be bothered Google has a cached version of it. Quirrel was certainly on fire this morning 😀

Was the OP in a relationship?

I must have missed that bit on my drive to work 😥
Please explain mr 3fish and nice!

the Op also said it was under another log in and the mob were still trying to decipher which [s]big hitter[/s] idiot it might have been.

I was sure it was hora. 😉

You better get used to riding that Apollo from now on is all the advice I can give.

I think I may have "outed" the OP. There was the original post under a pseudonym and later on suspiciously similar follow up under his recognised name.

So what do you reckon the crack is with the similar post from five years ago? Does the fella's alter-ego have some kind of kinky internets Turrette Syndrome?

I have a friend who used to have regular video chats with woman from the US.
I asked was he not bothered that they could record his video sessions and show them to others.
He said he could not care less.

As he was blessed with an appendage like a babies arm and absolutely no sense of shame.

What would Hora do??

Maybe just pay the money.. it might all just go away

while this lady jiggled her ample frontage for him

I don't remember size being mentioned in the original post. Maybe you are the OP?

No, you're right, they were referred to only as "tits". I appear to have embellished the story for effect, and mixed it with his previous sexploits from five years previous.

Getting back to that awesome Apollo video, I think more manufacturers should sell their bikes by mentioning that they have a "full set of suspension".

Quirrel was certainly on fire this morning

Why thank you kind sir, it was almost back to my days of trolling ESL teacher forums in the feverish posting excitement I had yesterday morning.

After a quick google, seems it's quite common. Get's worse if your Skype and Facebook account are linked, allows the blackmailer to post a link to your entire friends list. All very odd.
