[Closed] Why are you here?

Working nights.

Kept man.

I've got no friends, and the real world terrifies me

I work unsociable hours, and don't have a bike to ride.

Sneeky work posts?

It's, ahem, lunchtime... so not that sneaky 😉

Admin at work.

Some idiot at the LBS said it would be a good place "to meet likeminded people and sell shit" when I started 3 years ago.

I don't know what sort of person he thought I was... I still haven't sold anything and Wednesday Night Rides are long forgotten.

Still 'here 'cause I learn stuff, i feel I belong and it's good to see how seriously people still take tippy-tapping keyboard fighting.

Cocodomolling my way through today's face pain then back to work tomorrow.

WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE!?

I've no excuse sir.

Terminally unemployed by the looks of it.

Someone on mumsnet told me about it.

Bored 🙄

Slack bastard!

same as iolo waiting for job to end after 15 yrs .now sat by phone for hospital appt for youngest tonsils outectomy fed up decorating, bored with local riding and pro2 rear wheel bearings seized so waiting for parts this sucks. things can only get better 🙁

I work at home, for someone 3500 miles away.

Moved in bloody years ago and never left. A funny, sad, uplifting and frustrating place all at the same time.

I need help.

Often advice as well.

tucked up in bed sick.. watching budget and facebooking

I am doing a Doctorate, so procrastinating for 10 hours of every day.

I'm an IT geek.

I am a workshy fop.

I am a, soon to be decommissioned, bot.

STW-itis is my affliction.

It's the condition of creating the most boring thread title possible, but imagining hundreds of people will go "Aha, interesting and observant topic!" leading to persistent refreshing to see if I finally have the answer I need. Never happens.

Probably why Woppit's gone off his tits and does what he does.

Filthy undergrad here! Although I am a finalist...

"Bloody cash sucking immigrants"

Is it possible to be an immigrant on the World Wide Web?

I'm on a day off, supposedly doing DIY.

Well first there was the big bang...

Lunch break from gardening, must get back to it though as its not a good forecast for tomorrow.
Friday off out, Saturday Sunday and Monday riding Tuesday as wellif the legs will stand it.

Cos I'm on the pull

I mainly visit when at work. My initial interest was in the bike forum, but as I've mountainbiked less and less , I come on the Chat forum for the humour , bitching & shed threads .
Incidentally , my missus now hates me saying"someone on singletrack will know how to do that "

Waiting for Lightroom to export a wedding's worth of images. It's ****ing CRAWLING along. There are, other, more useful things I could be doing whilst I wait but meh.

Get your coat DezB, you've pulled

Sat in a pub beer garden half way around my CX ride having a pint of HPA in the sun.

Wassat? Hmm? Oh, I see. As you were....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just got back from walking the dogs and thought popping on here would cheer me up after hearing the budget.

My mummy and my daddy had a "special cuddle"..... then the stork came...and now here i sit.

Are those cheapo imitation Oakleys from the Classifieds?

Yup got a few pairs but gonna sell them as real in a few months. Shhh

Is it creationism?
That and cos road cycling forums are joyless and frightening

Something to read while commuting, eating lunch, and being present while my daughter watches one of her movies for the umpteenth millionth time - there's only so much Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake, and My Little Pony any parent can take.

I'm in love with TJ. Despite having never met him in real life.

My mummy and my daddy had a "special cuddle"..... then the stork came

Ban this sick filth.

Ah, so Houns is one of [i]those[/i] guys.

You sound surprised Jamie

However what kind of guy? There's many

Pistonheads was too left wing.

I have to come on here to pretend that I am working on my puter.

I like looking at all the pretty girls...Oh sorry wrong forum 😳

However what kind of guy?

you know the type.....

Avoiding work... don't tell the boss. Opps I am the boss.

Im a slave to my brain, and it likes places like this.

To know my enemy...

Waiting for my DNA gel to finish running. In fact, I might just go and image it now! Fingers crossed the damned cloning has worked this time. Watch this space....I'm excited....are you?

Bugger... 😥

That's what you wanted a clone for?

In the hope that one day someone will post something interesting!

Ban this sick filth.

isn't banning your job?

Waiting for the cutter [over there] to finish some sleeve pieces for my size sample of a new jacket for a fireman suit.

There's other stuff to do, tbh someone else can answer the phone

They told that this forum can make the trail..

I'm on day release from an open prison and spend a lot of time in the public library in an effort to stay out of mischief..

[i]new jacket for a fireman suit.[/i]

that certainly sounds more interesting than my job

I'm retired young and have no intentions of working ever again so when I choose to, I come in here and see what's going on.

I'd rather be working hard at a really engaging and satisfying job. But those that pay me don't seem to be interested in using my skills and effort for anything so I come on here to pass the hours until I ride home.

Oh and I learn lots about how many different viewpoints there can be on any given topic - even if some can be a tad misguided 😉

To be made to feel truly inadequate in so many ways
(Stoner & McMoonter, this primarily means you two)

Waiting for mrs marin to get home so we can go for noodles and to see Hotel Budapest.

A combination of being institutionalised and Stockholm Syndrome.

I've been coming here for a decade and a half, and I just don't know how to stop.

Everybody's got to be somewhere.

My mother & father used a bus stop for protection...

I got back into riding bikes a few years ago. Built a bike up from old bits from mate's parts-bins and Ebay. Used to always end up here after googling questions like 'how to remove a siezed bottom bracket without a flame-thrower?' etc. Then I deleted my FB and STW became yet another favorite waste of time. I also mainly work from home, and don't have a telly.

It's this or the Tele.

Because Brant pays me to bump all of the On-One threads whenever they drop off of the first page. 😉

I'm waiting for a good argument or flounce, merely as a spectator

It was here or Rigel X11 .

Unmetered internet access at work and a very low boredom threshold. Dangerous combination.

Back again whilst my meeting papers print off...

Cant be bothered finishing cutting the hedge, and its going to rain.

To promote the [url= http://www.bigbikebash.co.uk ]Big Bike Bash[/url] which is an excellent mix of a beer festival, music festival and mountain bike festival in the middle of the New Forest on the bank holiday at the end of August

the voices told me to.....

much like the OP i'm here (feels like all the time recently) as i've a broken shoulder and torn tendons. fortunately it is pretty much mended now.

i can go to work and find some sort of focus in my life.

Because the asylum was full.

It hasnt rained yet but I did cut some more of the hedge.
