OK stop it now.

That would be premature wouldn't it?

OK stop it now.

Why?

My scroll mouse wheel just had a blowout as I entered the straight on post 25

Idiots

<rant> When someone posts a long message on our beloved forum, why do so many feel the need to quote the whole damn thing? I would imagine that *most* of us are clever enough to work out what you are referring to without you having to quote the whole darn message. It's annoying to see thick people quote the (long) original message for no reason but laziness.

If you want to quote something just quote what you believe is relevant to your point and not the whole message. </rant>

Get a scroll mouse and stop whinging - appologies if you have arthritis in your middle finger

Very nice. I've decided to go for the Focus Cross Expert as my next cycle-related acquisition, opinion would be valued.
I'll be getting back into cycling in a big way shortly - feel too inactive with this desk-bound IT malarkey.

Yes, a very nice bike if you can get it for the right price. Personally I've been lusting after the Focus Cross Team, but wish they'd do a titanium framed one. Thinking of getting a Moots frame and then doing the rest of the build to that spec. Wish I'd had one for the Nordic 24, 'cause on my night shift the weather was so bad I ended up carrying the bike quite a bit.

How fantastically childish!

I know, I just couldn't resist

Before everybody else does it for me:

me -> <- everybody

Oh and in answer to the question above: not a right lot. Cycling up and down mountains in Crete, tracks are publically available on Motionbased.com Did a real lovely one where I set off from Chania go down the coast through Platanias all the way to Afrata beach then set off south to Samaria gorge, up into the mountains and then down that, get the ferry to the next town down the coast and cycled back. I think I drank 12 litres of water on that one.

Mountain bike racing on Sunday, didn't come last.

hear hear

ok.

Not sure I get your point...

Soo very tempted to quote the above lot and keep a trend going

I agree though

Looks like others have beaten me to it!

It's easier with this multi-quote thingy.

Absolutely.

Agreed.

People, if you feel the need to complain about minutia, please don't create a post, then I won't have to waste my time reading it. Just do what most internet warriors would do in real life and mutter your disproval under your breath (for fear of a duffing up)

Oooh it makes me so mad it does

ME TOO!!!

It's terrible and very annoying.

See Post #1

I completely agree.

Do you think we can break this?

Oh I should think so

Cor, it's a bit of effort doing this - wonder if it'll break across two pages, or if you can multi-quote from previous pages of the thread?

You're on your own - I cant be arsed

Pah.

How're ya doing SA? Bored like me? I'm procrastinating-but-have-loadsa-work-to-do at the mo.

I'm so bored I've just had a browse round Ardesco's forum and was considerring posting

REALLY need to take a gig soon!!!

You still on the bench? Ah - let yer man look after you for a while, you have to prepare for a wedding after all.

Hmm, even works across three pages

Oh, and I agree with the following:
