So long and thanks .....
« on: July 19, 2010, 08:31:17 AM »
As of last Saturday, Guinevere the GN has departed the Shed for a life of teaching troubled young men (and wimmin) that there is a thing called self respect, and that hard work and diligence will pay off with a better life, thanks to the good people at Helm in Dundee.  This has left the Shed devoid of anything remotely thumper-like, until the PDIL (Prospective Daughter-In-Law) drops her wee SR125 in for a fettle that is.  I have also come to the realisation that my preferred engine layout is a v-twin, although if you were to give me a Kawa triple stinkwheel I wouldn't refuse.

Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I tender my resignation from this 'ere forum .... I'd like to wish you all the best for your blurry-visioned, finger-tingling, kidney destroying thumping future.  Can I also thank all those who have assisted me in the past, my wife for all her support, my son for consistently nicking the keys, Jasmine the Wonder Dachshund for just being fluffy, the lighting director for getting my good side ...... <sob!> ..... oh, it's all too much ..... I love you all!

Oi you cannot resign - it is in the small print.  If you have ever had a passing interest in thumpers you are here and stuck with it.

Where do you think you're going?  ;)

You're always welcome here mate, regardless of what you ride.

I think a straw poll would show a large number of members on this forum dont actually have a working thumper. So, an empty shed doesn't excuse participation in this excellent banter.

I dont have a land rover, nor a petrol camping stove, but I am sure I can talk about them. I dont have a weather girl either, but I talk about them.... ;D

Aye Pete,

Looks like I'm going to have to press gang you, from the tirade you've raised on this thread. Might even turn up on The Boy Bros, sprog of NTV! ;)

Keep dropping by and blowing the odd flatulent raspberry at the Lady Rover contingent and their incence burner mantras!  :-X

My regards, Bill.

No need to go, I haven't had one of those Thumper things for about 6 months but still visit the site frequently (so I don't get withdrawal symptoms)  :)

a working thumper.

A rather curious concept, I'll file that next to Unicorn and rocking horse droppings  ;D ;D
