years ago, I'd guess in 2000, an italian girl we were sharing a flat with was fucking the chief mechanic for yamaha, and invited us to brands hatch to watch the superbikes
the rider was australian, I've forgotten his name, but we sat in their garage on pit lane and saw all the prep and all the other teams doing their thing. In the first race he won, but flew off over the handlebars at the end of the straight in the next race, and he'd fucked his arm in some way. suddenly we were kicked out back to the great unwashed, I suspect because they were about to dope him up, as he competed in the final race, the tough bastard. Im not that into it, but they fucking fly when you see them up close, like they're sitting on rockets. the tv doesnt do it justice

Rarely does video capture the intensity of riding bikes.

Christ, have you got a story for every fucking reply on here?
You should write a book called "Cumquat May and the fantasmigal adventures" or something

It’s a form of one upmanship employed to cover inadequacy and insecurity. He lacks the self awareness to see how tedious and implausible it makes him.
In other words: Cool story, bro.

speaking of anecdotes, I recall how every attempt for you to call me a liar has hilariously blown up in your face
though you still occasionally work up the courage to have another crack, but these days only if someone else does it first do you put your big girl pants and try to project your own inferiority complex onto me. you think it's one upmanship because to some jealous triggered shut-in like yourself, anything I do seems that way. good

I'll tell you what else I was thinking. Now i could be wrong, but I reckon swagatha christie is your sockpuppet
it's obviously an experienced b3tan, suddenly appearing a month ago but getting stuck into arguments right away
and
*has a pretentious literary username. a frustrated GSCE lit failure like yourself just couldn't resist it
*starts posting PC gone mad stuff that would get spectator readers in a tizzy like the vid below, which crucially, prufrock doesn't comment on. nobody else goes looking for that sort of stuff apart from the places prufrock haunts where they mock anything 'woke'
*uses prufock-like tired pretentious phrases like Quelle Surprise!
*prufock like amateur internet arguing like "no you're upset". you've even mimicked the basic format of a rejoinder I used against swagatha/prufock in the attempt above, but I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery to those without the wit to be original
*gets into an argument with me and loses. classic prufrock
*prufocks main account hasn't insulted me for a while, and I'd been making some conciliatory comments such that I was beginning to think he'd found some maturity and we could put his tedious obsession with me behind us. fat chance. Suddenly he's all triggered and yapping after I argue with swagatha
Yeah, the more I think about it the more I reckon I'm right. You can't avoid or hide being a cunt by just switching accounts, prufrock. Your personality will out. Ha

Lol. It’s almost as if I’ve touched a nerve.
I love the sock theory. It’s very funny that you think that Christie’s hackneyed whodunnits are literary. I’m more John Christie than Agatha Christie. I interpreted it as a footballers’ wives joke (Rooney/Vardy).
To be fair, I had a theory about brb being a sockcooker sock. I don’t think that’s true anymore though.

Speaking of anecdotes
Right, I'll tell you an anecdote! In 1975 I was catching the London train from Crewe station. It was very crowded, I found myself in a last-minute rush for the one remaining seat with a tall, good-looking man with collar-length hair, it was the seventies - buckaroo! When I sat down on the chair, I looked up and realised it was none other than Peter Purves! It was at the height of his Blue Peter fame! He said "You jammy bastard!" and quick as a flash, I replied, "Don't be blue, Peter!" Needless to say, I had the last laugh, now fuck off!

come on mate, this ongoing wankfest between you and poofrock is tedious AF
Just have a punchup or have some sweatily delirious sex with him and get it over with. Nae cunt's impressed with the constant back and forth, no wonder /links has got its reputation with posters like you two having a spasticated dick swinging contest all over the shop.

agreed, it got tiresome a long time ago, even for me
I have been trying to avoid triggering him, and if you look at our interactions over the last couple of months I've tried to say some nice things to him instead for all the good it's done .But I think I've inadvertently insulted his sockpuppet and now we're back to square one, if we ever went anywhere to begin with. I'll do my best to ignore his weird obsession and not respond to his abuse, not with the button which seems a cop out, more generally ignoring him. fair enough?

fine with me mate
Dunno why you don't just join in with /talk if you don't like it on /links very much, it's a relatively welcoming crowd as long as you don't take yourself seriously.

I did years ago, but all the people I knew there moved on, as with anything
I like most of the links people, just a few odd ones I don't get on with

that's a bit of an exaggeration,
still, it's not as if B3ta is rollicking along like it used to that I'm somehow distracting from, there's few of us left and some dweebs contribute nothing but snark. If I didn't think it might be interesting or entertaining, to some at least, I wouldn't say it. Thats kind of the point I thought, putting up shit to amuse each other. And I'm no bullshitter for all my faults, if I tell a story it's true enough. it is lockdown here, so perhaps I'm posting noticeably more. apologies if I'm hurting your eyes

I used to crew the score board for the Isle of Man TT
- when I was a Scout, and when the score board was chalk and slate and analog clocks.
The noise was fucking intense. The smell was choking, especially for the classic races. The bikes were going past so fast you couldn't see the numbers.
We were a foot or so from the track, with a waist-high crash barrier between us death. You'd start this "volunteering" (it was close to mandatory) at about 9 years old. None of us were over 15.
Health and safety? Nah, child labour, tax haven laws and millions in tourist money .
I went back a few years ago: they give them ear plugs now and have a big perspex barrier between them and the bikes.
Still all crewed by kids though.
