Who's a messenger?

Ok I'm curious, how many people here are or have been messenger?

Shit you are starting a lot of topics.

I used to courier in Australia and London, Five years worth.

I've got a message:

stop asking silly fuckin questions! ;)

can i try to level your curiosity and ask you why are you starting so many topics?

i've never been a messenger and don't plan to be by the way

Yer its been a thoughtful night.

London six years 1984 -1990 ish I know buffalo bill from way back when

1 week. Spent more time sitting on my arse reading a book than riding. Silly fscking idea. Office jobs are the life baby!

I much prefer getting paid to play on the internet all day though.

Yeah. Lovely job innit. At least I know the nooks n cranny of the City. BUT------- I dont get all this Messenger/Fakenger crap anyway. Whats it about? Who gives a

MA3K I much prefer getting paid to play on the internet all day though.

Given the amount of shite I post here.. I think you can tell I'm a fan of the "i'm typing at a computer, therefore i'm working" methodology :D

I am really pleased that I worked as a courier, it was a fun job.
I like never needing a map pretty much where ever I travel in London, never needing to unclip from one end of town to the other, knowing all the short cuts, etc.
I saw It as a job to do when I was still working out what to do with my life.

I kinda lied to get the job and I still can't navigate out of my house let alone London!
It was a job to do while looking for a job that paid.

The corner office eh? Moving up in the world.

Well, the building is circular so, err, no corners here Chop! :)
"Slice" office? "Pie" office? Mmm.. pie..

No, but I'm a class A fakenger.

being a courier teaches you how to ride fast in traffic - its about the ZEN

Jakob No, but I'm a class A fakenger.

I hope nobody on here is the numpty I saw today on Constitution Hill - bull bars, camo knicks, big white sunnies, stickers on his frame. Effect sort of ruined by:
a) the bike being a langster (at least it was black not that funny orange colour)
b) he was coasting
c) he was riding like a tool

was that you murtle??

hahaha

Don't you know all westies ride like that. It's coz we spend most of our time in BMW X5's and don't actually ride much.
(murtle is fixed, brakeless, although he still rides like a tool :P)

Damn, my secret is out !!!

1986 - Xmas Eve 1999. There's several on here, but I can't work out who they all are - all those silly nicknames ;-)

IF you're looking for a more messenger orientated crowd, try the forum at movingtargetzine.com . There's a bit of overlap between here there, tho.

feck off the lot of yer...... 8^)

"camo knicks, big white sunnies" eh?

"stickers on his frame" good way to cover a shitty paintjob. what's that got to do with being a messenger?
