Re: Thanks
Huurrruuphhtt!
Ladies and Gentlemen
What we have here is the longest most down to earth, thought provoking, cynical, comical and clinical thread that the liverboard forum has seen for a long time.
I would therefore like if I may to take time out to thank all the participants so far.
Steve Fox ….. A lad who graduated from a sponsored egg and spoon race to a realization that he could have a 7 year sponsored trip around the world, so far so good, then someone told him that the Atlantic Ocean was in the way so he appeared on here to tell us and try and hitch a ride, so far he hasn’t done to well, perhaps he was a little over ambitious with the trip to the south pole and lost credibility, or was it when he started asking for money, perhaps he should now just settle for something more reasonable like an accent of Everest on his bike playing the bagpipes.
TCM ……… our master of ceremonies and resident git,
Always at hand to guide the proceedings along gave us words of wisdom like,
Getting exercise might be vital in the west, but not a top requirement in parts of africa where it's a 20mile walkfor water, see?
Wwe're a *bit* serious, but not too serious.
i vote this thread as having received amongst the most useless (yet extensive) responses to a perfectly reasonable initial request.
I`m not apologizing to anyone so [oops] the lot of ya!! (Well actually he didn’t say that but he should have).
UncleAlbert………Takin the piss? well yes, but I would do that anyway even if he was genuine, after all this is an internet forum not a court of law.
Simon CR… the star of the show who came on the scene with a stern warning to Steve saying,
“it`s some people just passing the time of day by spouting without engaging brains first”
This turned out to be a perfect description of his behavior over the next two days.
Yes it`s got to be a special thanks to Simon. The man with no ears and the master of the understatement, who blessed us with such gems as,
“I think we all agree that the Antarctica bit is dumb, and demonstrates a hazy grasp of geography.”
“He's human after all! Guess couriering the bike would be necessary.”
“I don't find the bit about having him got the idea from his plan to cycle to see friends and family odd at all.”
Then there was the bitchy phase when after searching through the bios he said,
“Probably you're right. No doubt when he gets back from his trip he'll sink into a humdrum existence as a commercial software engineer, or heating specialist or whatever and will spend the rest of his life trawling internet forums handing out unrequested bitter advice to those having a more fun time.”
Eventually he went to melt down
“Didn't notice me being unreasonable! No can't find anything about 7 years on his website. He does mention 7 continents - I always thought there were about 5, but maybe he's counting Australia and errr... separately.”
Then there was that nice lady who voted for the lame duck.
Good luck with the swifgig ashtrays Sara, how much are they?
Thanks to all I haven`t mentioned but times short.
And an extra special thanks to;
Maria .. who sobered up specially to come here today, then summed the whole thing up in three paragraphs --- perfectly.
So there you have it a great thread that brought 2 great men to their Knees
TCM apologized for something he didn`t do. And SimonCr admitting the lad was after aII only after a jolly.
Me, I’ve vowed to give up takin the piss, er, oneday -
wink wink.
