LFGSS: Share your real life experiences.

Went to polo once, Snotty got me drunk and continued the grooming until I hit 16. Then he dropped me like a sack of shitty potatoes for another young'n.

But strangely my life seems brighter for it.

Me and hippy had the same problem. Not sure how to stop that happening.

Go, see a GP.

He and I were at an impasse, we could not understand each other in the slightest.

Post of the month.

a slice of fried gold

Hmmm ...

I'd easily say the social aspect of it, especially now that I don't have it any more.
Soho Whiskey Club for sure, fantastic idea of D. Generate's to join.
Easts, although now I'm west.
All of the rides, the fact that there's a ride for anyone, be it a race or just a piss up.

I rented out my apt thanks to the forum, which was a godsend as I hate estate agents.

Oh and the jersey. It really stands out here in SF lol

Oh BTW. Pedalo racing - that shit got real.

The Pedalo TT!

It's surprising that it's kind of the only time someone called the cops on a forum event.

ha, I've got some pics of Murtle negotiatiing with the rozzers, I think they thought he was a forrun

Go, see a GP.

Will he teach us how to dance better? We're having a few timing issues. The Macarena is good, but Hippy's Mambo could do with tightening.

Euph?

What do you mean? His mambo is very loose.

I mean, he's complained about my Anaconda but at least I had the good grace to compliment him when he finally tidied up his Cajun Jig.

I love the real life experience between Skully and Wiganwill.

Funny you should mention that Ed.
Of all the bounties that 'the forum' has bestowed perhaps the most bountiful has been getting up close and personal with the picaresque horror show that is our friend Skully's day to day.
I was reading through a collection of Stephen Fry's shopping lists recently and was reminded of the first time I met Skully. Though not, in a conventional, or unconventional, sense, an educated man Skully did occasionally have a stab at self improvement. It would be nice to think that that was one of the few times where 'have a stab at' was not a literal description of his behaviour, but sadly, no,.
Anyway, around the time I met him Skully had chanced upon the word sesquipedalian and, seeing a larger vocabulary as a stepping stone out of the gutter, had taken to using it in almost every other sentence. So a tardy bar maid would become a 'sesquipedalian cow', an attentive parking attendant a 'sesquipedalian bastard' and so on. The actual meaning of the word seemed to matter not one jot. Now I like an obscure word as much as the next man, especially if that next man is Robert Robinson, but after a few days it got a bit tiring. Later I would realise that his reaction to my mild compliant was, by his standards, restrained though at the time it seemed almost designed to put the Inquisition to shame. Anyway at least it stopped him berating the homeless as 'sesquipedalian tossers' and I was back on my feet in less than two months.
Skully disappeared shortly after that, as did several charity collection cans that I'd been storing in the larder, and it was a while before he resurfaced again. When he did he had taken up cycling and a whole new chapter began.

Shouldn't 'self improvement' should be hyphenated?

It's a grey area. Like 'piss off'.

Too much awesomeness to put in words. Loads of freinds, loads of beers, the occational bike ride. Trips to france, freinds out here in NZ, vistitors to NZ, trips to spain, Fiddy, more beers. Soon to be weddings, more beers, and beer.

Looking forward to my trip back to London in a week to see folkes again.

I'd like to throw in my own lovely life-changing experience of the forum.

...because of SE Beers I broke my arm :P

That's an SE beers rite-of-passage. Next you need to move to Highgate and never come visit us ever again.

/XH

Tough gig, I merely had a pint spilled over me on my first visit to Easts.

This applies to me as well.

How about GL's random rants to Pantone Blues publishing. That's an awesome story.

And BMMF.

Also BDW for making my little girl very happy

That moment during an LFGSS ride East few years ago when the stars appeared

As much of a fantasy event as east beers!

Same thing happened on the eay back from the duwich Dynamo on the LFGSS coach
