Besides what car parks have CCTV? Obviously use your common sense.

Hi, can anyone give me advice for the above scenario? When I was in my late teens/early 20s I was prepared to work a menial job full time for a year or two.

Unfortunately I never got a menial job until I was nearly 20 and it was only a 7 hour contract. I was still thrilled to have my first job and felt like I was a proper teenager though, even though my teens had nearly finished. This was all because I went to a special needs school and that put me back quite some years!

Now I am nearly 27 I feel like I couldn't hack working a menial job full time anyway. A couple of years ago I tried joining the army but failed selection twice for being too quiet. I don't fancy going through all that again!

Anyway I am just drifting through life but the only time I have lived away was when I went to uni (my biggest mistake) and that was just during the week.

I feel so pathetic! I have never had a girl just escorts cry The only fit ones are Romanian and they don't even speak English FFS!

Anyway I am just drifting through life and feel like I am wasting my prime being aimless. But this year has been good, bought a bike and have done a lot of biking both on and off road.

Anyway I don't know what the point of this thread really is and I have been recommended counselling by the doctor in case anyone recommends that again!
Ok I wasn't sure at first, but after reading this... don't feed the troll

So you can't believe that there can really be a person with a life as pathetic as mine? That makes you think I must be making it all up? Wake up and look outside.

I cant find any in Scotland, engerland seems a long way to go to get my front end up.. but i'm game, lets go via oulton
Yeah I saw one in the North West England but that was it. £150, 1200 bandit with bars. Max 4 per bike. Still looking though.

As you say, most of them seem to be in London/Surrey but the idea of flying down special seems a bit tragic.
If you do London/Surrey, I'll do it with you.

That aside; you have just created an account, come onto PH Biker Banter and proceeded to tell everyone how to wheelie properly and started spouting off random statements as if they are fact.

Reading your post history, you only started riding back in December (congrats by the way). So I'm not entirely sure where you've managed to grab your masses of experience from...?

I only passed my test 18 months ago and wouldn't dream of coming on here and dictating to others about how to ride; most have been riding since I was in primary school.

Re your earlier post, why don't you get counselling? You've all but recognised you need it, enough that you went to a doctor. The Doctor said you need it so why not? PH or any other forum is a microcosm of what you find in real life with a specialist angle, depending on a the subject matter. If in general you feel pathetic, aimless and/or socially awkward, you will find exactly the same on a forum. Anonymity does not heal whatever ills you may have, if anything it probably accentuates them.

Good catch, the tone of voice and misspelling of y'all confirms it.


ETA: yup it's blindingly obvious, unless they both time-share the same 306.

I am not dictating anything to anyone. My statements are not "random facts" they are common knowledge from Google research and experience putting that into practice.

I was answering a person's question about a specific skill, you can be the fastest guy on the track but still not wheelie. I have not questioned anyone's biking credentials on here.

I think you are just over sensitive and the kind of person 10 years ago I might have been afraid of offending for fear of being put in my place but now I could care less. It's quite funny how being "put in my place" used to hurt me back then, now I just shrug it off!

So you are in part responsible for my shyness as a teenager tongue out

I do leave clues all over the place, I just can't help myself. It's part of the thrill actually, leaving clues and then people starting to put 2 and 2 together, it's all a bit sad hehe

Seems to be the way this country is going, everything has to be "official" and "approved" rather than anyone learning anything for themselves
I think that's actually a very good point that I've also noticed over the last decade or so.

It really is, and not in the way you seem to think.

ya'll don't need a "wheelie school". If you want to get together and practice wheelies just go to a big car park FFS. How do you think people learnt before the advent of wheelie schools?
Yeah that would be great, a bunch of aging professionals spread throughout the country congregating in a McDonalds car park somewhere North of London. The blind leading the registered blind overseen by the fking delusional.

Perhaps I can wear my sideways baseball cap and hip-hop styled "stunter" jacket. I can hunt for bding pokemon whilst I'm doing it.

Or, as informed adults, we could just go to an organised event we're happy and able to pay for, drink tea, and take it for what it is.
Hahaha I love this response. Best I have read in a while.

Are you asking me to explain my post?

You think its "a bit sad", but you seem to think is *us* that are the one's being sad when in fact you are the one trolling discussion forums, leaving trails and clues (which I suspect is just you fking up and trying to cover yourself) and generally acting like a stroppy child when confronted. That the kind of explanation you were after?

May I caveat the following with the supplemental information that:

a) I'm as drunk as a skunk after a half hearted night out in Saigon
b) I'm home earlier and drunkerer than expected.
c) The Vietnamese girls aren't as pretty as you'd think
d) the fact I can type thiw is is a fking miracle in itself
e) spelling mistales may or may jot be the responsibility of Mrrs Schmirnoff. I dunno..

To Mrs Modified car enthusiastic fktard.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart. fk off.
You're a chop.
You have nothing of value to addm no experience and no humour.
So do us all, or ke at least, the decency to take your stupidly elsewhere.
Please, for allmour sakes.
You're making yourself look a . Don't.
I'm drunk, but I look less of a than you.

How's that for a thrwad closer!!!!
C'mon, we're all thinking it...

Booyaka..... Saigon oooooot!
