HAVING BEEN AWAY FOR ALF THE DAY I RETURN TO THE THREAD WITH A LONG BELLY LAUGH
1 Miller up yrs !! 2 Dickens up yrs 2 and go find some sheep to roll in the grass with leave the kid alone he is like the rest of 20 years ago young dumb and full of cerme- ok he is a little petulant im sure with a beer in his hand he is a pleasant chappie with some enthusiasm and an "ology" in engineering that is not required in motorsport (- reminded of that old saying a little knowledge is dangerous ) however with out being rude to the kid he has taken on a real race car and is lacking in background knowledge ie a father who raced for donkey`s yrs or a brother who worked in a semi pro race team or been the goffer for some old fart like us for the past 3 years where he could have learnt a few things as i said earlier u need a sense of humour as we are all going to rip the p##s out of you at some point and dont take it too much to heart ok 1 or 2 have been a bit snidey but what do you expect with some of yr responses if u leave yr legs open long enough someone will kick u in da ging gang goolie goolie gosh gosh but firkerm you go play with yr car just think what has been said and chew it over 3 if u want advise just ask u wil get some sensible answers and at times u wil deserve some grief as some of these guys dont get out much half the guys here know each other which is why u got some verbal 4when are u at brands? this satuday for the sprint? 5 dont leave us we will need some one to play with |

We were all young and stupid once, some of us are old and still stupid. Usually though, people don't go mouthing off like that when they are trying to integrate themselves into a new group of people, regardless of whether they are racing drivers or knitters.

I think you guys deserve a medal for being so nice for so long to an unpleasant newbie - Andy's posts have been spot on.
...but the reason I came on is to ask Andydickens if by any chance he is the Andy Dickens who used to race Pre 74 FF1600 in the UK (red/black elden I think) - if so - you were (are?) bloody quick... |

FFracer.......I must admit,i find it all VERY amusing & as i said,when it comes to the crunch i can't see anybody wanting to help him at all & he is going to learn the hard way & the VERY expensive way.
What i love it is you only have to give him a little bait & he's straight back on with another LONG & tedious story telling us all how good he is.....must say it's the funniest thread thats been on here,bloody good fun. |

Don't you think it is time to back away and leave this matter? It has now reached the point where attempts are being made to bait this guy. I don't think that does us any favours at all.
I think it should be declared over. As far as I am concerned if he turns up in a Formula where we are then I am perfectly willing to forget everything that has so far been written and help him if he asks for it. |

Yes, its definately Friday and the suns warm and alls well. Trouble is, it's like e mails, the words don't always come out the other end quite as the sender intended, especially if the reciever may be feeling a bit sensitive So you may not take it seriously, but................
On a nicer note, who's racing the weelend? the weather forecast is good, so anyone who is could well have a cracking weekend. We aren't out till the following weekend, bet the weather's changed by then. How come in a summer of hosepipe bans atc, we have run on wets more times than we can ever remember in the past. What's that about sun shining on the righteous? |

Bob,i do think young Trist saw the error of his ways............hence he's gone all quiet.......he'll learn.
And yes,i don't think i've done one race this season were there hasn't been some rain around & like you i'm out next weekend so it will more than likely chuck it down !! |

Well I've met the object of your online bullying ..
Hello you snidey lot ... you should be ashamed of yourselves and you need to be told.
Well I've met the object of your online bullying .. and found him and his chums to be intelligent, receptive and enjoying their 1st time out in a well prepared, clean, thoughfully set up 883. The guys got the car around the track, said they learnt a lot and enjoyed themselves. It rather tedious and pathetic to continue this thread even though yer man you want to goad and bully over the internet has woken up to seeing you for the prats that you are .. and hey take offence .. am I bothered ? I know of most of you snides .. the cars you drive and how you race .. but I would not want to show you up over the internet .. it just lacks character. You should meet the man of your derision .. good manners at that time will show you that deriding youth and inexperience and a real desire to be involved is not a good way to attract new people into club motorsport. But there again none of you snides could be held up as shining examples to attract new people in motorsport, can you ? 10/10th please end this thread its not doing your name or club motorsport any favours. Posted with reluctance, Raltracer |

And it's Adios to this thread folks, the nastiness from both sides has gone on for long enough and you have all failed to remember the golden rule...attack the post and not the poster.
