lol... and Ricdude Syndrome 3.0 is released.... (now with deadlier TRIPLE posting).
If an attached male is looking for a 'platonic' pillion to ride with then surely they should make this undeniably clear in their first contact with someone... if that is what they are really after.
Actually, I am just going to delete the above as I really do not know the minds of other men so am not fit to comment...
It does indeed cut both ways... but it's very often the women who are the newly qualified riders, trying to keep up with their hubby and his mates who've been riding for years. :o)
A while back, I started a ranty campaign to have a 'Biker Nod' button added. The idea was that attached people (yes, women do it too) can simply say Hi and break the ice, WITHOUT seeming like a Cheating Charlie seeking a Runaround Sue*. Also, so we could say Hi to other members of the same gender and orientation without seeming like we're suggesting something else....
However, It was not universally agreed with - so I've sent you a Wink to take the piss out of the system and say a very platonic Hi to ya :D
Or refer them to me as I'm still in a shin-kicking mood ;o)
That's an actual sport, ya know. Cotswold games (Dover Games, Cotswold Olympicks - Do a Google).
Perhaps you could turn your violent mood into a sporting career!!!!
I took part myself one year and ended up getting interviewed by Jeremy Clarkson!!!
Got to kick his shins in too :D
*Yes indeed, you may marvel at my cultural reference proclivities and florid prose!!!
I wouldn't worry about sending winks, I accidentally sent one to myself the other evening whilst scrolling down a forum thread!!
Must have touched the finger pad a little too hard!! I can't use that flipping thing!
(I do get a little aroused when Lou is in shin kicking mode!!!)
OK, Self-Winking sounds a little self-abusive, guys!!!!
Just hope you all realise that.....
BTW, cheers Matt!!
Until you get around to it, I'll just wink at random people, hee hee :D
For those that are interested, The Cotswold Games takes place on a Friday afternoon, around the first week of June. It's on Dovers Hill, near Chipping Campden in Oxfordshire.
As well as Shin-Kicking, they do some other traditional stuff, plus local peeps do some 'local stuff', they have fairgrounds, cheese rolling and what-have-you.
Usually my club is there, demonstrating some traditional English martial arts, slinging swords and Quarterstaves about, before having a full-on match with Cudgels (which was a historical sport back when the Games first started in Ye Olde Dayes of the 1700s).
You're welcome to come see us smacking each other about - There's usually blood too, but only coz the Morris Dancers won't go away!!!
Frank can do that by himself.
He's one of our guys, who does door/security/close protection stuff for a living. Absolute terror training against him!!
We'd offer, but to be honest you'd only need him!!!
Ricdude Syndrome 3.0 is released
Ricdude Syndrome has now been updated to a grown up pc so no longer runs. (ok,maybe occasionally)
The term "Ricdude Syndrome" can however still be used for any double posts as long as the details,i.e. time,date and content of posts are the same.
Sorry Kilmarny,back to your thread.
Good to hear Ricdude!
The triple posting was there but it was efficiently deleted by our new moderator Karey! In fact, rumour has it that she was taken on specifically to combat Ricdude Syndrome, but if you are saying the problem is solved does this make her redundant?
