Who let this noisy rabble in?

Oi! That's a very old fashioned, and indeed misogynistic view of Viking culture. In fact person-stealing is very equal opportunities these days, as befits one of the original social democracies of Northern Europe. I myself was stolen from your shores by a Viking woman nearly thirty years ago. So lock up your menfolk as well, lest they be carried off by buxom blonde warrioresses.

I should be so lucky.

Let them know I’ll be waiting on the beach at Whitby, I won’t put up a fight.

They say that if you're not even going to pretend then they'll probably go to Scarborough instead as there's a tea-shop there they like. Also, wrt livestock, a few of them are vegans now so please bring a hundredweight of tofu

I will eventually get the hang of the quote feature. FFS.

All these bloody young upstarts coming in here with their new ideas and crowd pleasing content, thinking they know how to run things and ruining what was a perfectly adequate and boring cycling chat room backwater.
Harumph harumph!
This used to be a respectable establishment.
😁
(Sips pint silently in the corner)

Yes, yes, they all sound young and energetic, don't they?
Racing avatars 'nd all!
Where are the ladies refugees btw? Didn't they get invited over?
I was just mentioning to a fellow mod that this new thread reads like the retirement thread, but on steroids
CC welcomes new blood!

 

[Pblakeney]

We need some sort of controls?
Audax or CTC membership....
Simply not good enough letting in the sportive riff raff!
Weekend warriors, turbo training twonks!
🤣🤣🤣

If I'd known you had to be a clubbie I wouldn't have bothered.

You're not wrong about sportives though.

I consider myself old and lethargic.
You can probably date me fairly accurately from my choice of Doctor in my avatar ;-)

Unfortunately BR was always a little light on women posters, even more so in it's twilight years. I don't think there are any left that post with any regularity - at least not in the bits I frequented.

Also @Beebo - massive respect on the avatar. I had a Play School style Humpty Dumpty as a kid, though it may have been homemade

Old and lethargic is acceptable.

Hey, I had to fit an extra pair of front panniers on my Tour de Fer for all this extra admin work you lot gave me!
Now I need to change my username to Pat 2mph

It’s not an avatar. It’s a selfie.

All these aspersions cast about us, the poor, beleaguered, destitute, socially inept and morally impoverished asylum seeking refugees is just terrible, I have never heard such despicable xenophobia and prejudice. I am not going to put up with this any longer. I'm going to use all the powers available to me and join another cycling forum like Bike Radar.

 

[postman]

Right for a few weeks all new arrivals from BR should attach plates to their posts.

 

[Pinno718]

...and you are all very sweaty and smelly. So there 😜

 

[Mike Ayling]

Help. What is/was BR?

So do vampires!
