OK, What did I miss?

Hi BCfers!

After being locked out of my account for YEARS, I finally gave up and ended up making a new one, as I can't remember what email address I originally registered under.

So I am back to an L-Plate Warrior.

PS Korn if you're reading this and can work some magic, please let me know!

Hiya, I recognize the avatar, I think you stopped posting shortly after I joined up.
A lot of the regulars from way back are no longer posting, those that didn't self destruct or get bored disappeared following the great Rainpal debate a few years back.

The forum is distinctly quieter and tamer than it was ten years ago!

Korn hasn't been seen for a while Watch out for the "no posts exist" error when you click on a specific thread page and just choose the previous page instead. There's an issue with the creaky database backing the forums incorrectly indexing long threads where posts have been deleted.

I'm actually rather disappointed in everyone.. no spill counter, no end of year summary, how is one supposed to ever catch up?

So I got knocked off last year and broke some bits. Lots of bits. Bike was hardly damaged though.
I became grandmother, twice.
I'm still knobbing Sickpup.
Splitting my time between London and Wales as always. I don't think I will ever truly be a "Londoner" although it has definitely had an impact on my personal attitude and riding style.

It does seem a bit ghost-town on the forum. Feels a little odd.
Also, please feel free to karma-bum me. I can't even rate posts yet!!

Its definitely a ghost town compared to how it was.

We don't really have annual threads any more, which is a shame but there's so few of us that its hardly worth it.

There's a series of other threads that have lasted for years ... but there's probably not enough of us left to have a spill counter.

For keeping up with "what shit we talk about" you could read:
* What grinds my gears...
* What oils my gears ...
* What have you done to your bike today?
* What have you bought recently?
* What are you listening to?
And some other similar threads that roll on indefinitely that we kinda check-in with one another when we show up. There's probably other things in the subforums I barely go into. Its all I can do to keep up in the Random Banter, General Bike , Dear Auntie and Current Affairs sub-forums.

Closest we come to an annual thread these days is a sort of "health and fitness" thread but even that runs over a year or two these days. Not to be confused wih the "Mens Health Thread" which has proved to be an interesting and worthwhile exercise in men being open about stuff they wouldn't normally talk in public about.

I'm still in touch with a few people who are no longer on here - or on FB where most people emigrated. I think there are still a fair few anti-FB types holding out, and to be fair I'm not as regular as people would expect.

Gerry (Nowhere Elysium) came round to mine a couple of weeks ago, which was really awesome, he came round with his mum who I'm quite matey with on FB.

Other bods I'm also v.matey with offline include:
Hoffy - a solid mate for many years.
MCW - Daft like me but posher. Allegedly.
The Guvnor UK - only recently got back in touch with him, now known as Ragnar, not sure why.

I'm still a bit sensitive on the subject of Grr666 who I was pretty matey with offline, but who died last Sept. Sore topic.

Hope you're on the mend now, "many broken bits" sounds a bit nasty.

Heyup.

I now identify as a dolphin. It’s tough having a full body wax every morning but once I’ve had a few sardines I’m all the better for it.
