Quiet here any other forums around?

Not all the forum members know this, but there's actually a private "members club" side of arbtalk, there's various forums, and they're all a lot busier than the main public part of the site.

 

I think you need to pm @Steve Bullman for more info.

 

They have a new members ballot/nominations twice a year on the summer and winter solstice. Except on a leap year. You do have to pay a fee to join, it's quite an investment and it's a bit of pain finding enough non-sequential banknotes and having to send them via a private courier service to a po box on an industrial estate in the midlands where they are transferred into the forum currency ArbCoin.

 

Every third Thursday in the month (excluding February, June and November) there is an online pub quiz with prizes like cuddly toy, meet and great with Elton John, Timberwolf keyring, etc

 

You can collect airmiles for every post you make, I've saved up enough for a single ticket between Westray and Papa Westray.

 

Aswell as the forums itself, they have a discount scheme where you get 20% off new Husqvarna chainsaws, 15% off Stihl, and 10% off at Pizza Express (selected restaurants, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only).

It's not actually a discount card, you just have to go in and give a specific handshake that leaves a small amount of elm sawdust in the staff members hand, and they'll know what the craic is.

 

There's a couple of initiation rituals for the private members' section, at first they seem a bit sadistic but I have been informed by my doctor that my rectum should be 95% recovered by christmas. (he didn't say which christmas though?). And the goat gets to live out the rest of it's life on a sanctuary in Dorset.

 

The tattoo doesn't look as bad as you think it would.

 

 

 

Hope that helps, remember you need to pm @Steve Bullman with the subject title "jkhbsdfkjsfdhgfQA"

You broke the first rule, that’s your membership revoked

I thought the first rule was the one about daily nudes?

Good to know it’s not just me he’s pestering for them.

Say something controversial, that gets the chat started.

[Stephen Blair]

Or interesting!

Like most forums, the interesting things have been done, controversial gets people typing. I do enjoy interesting, mind.

I agree the tattoo doesn't deserve the hate it gets (mostly from member's wives TBH) but having to fly to Sarajevo to get it done was *almost* a deal breaker for me at the time. I don't regret it though, the members only section is totally worth it.

No use to you now Hairy but you can replicate the tattoo well enough to fool Steve that it's real using a Spruce needle from Latvia (Sviatoslav Tulin knows a guy), the blood of a broken groundie and just a few drops of pee from a dehydrated climber.

Heard the rumour, who knows if there's any truth to it. But who'd be brave enough to try? It might fool Bullman but you'd never be sure. I don't want to be looking over my shoulder the rest of my life, thanks. Remember our motto and oath, Doug.

So the usual thing then...

A private forum for benders and non descript tattooed chipper bitches..

 

Any other stuff out there worth reading? 😁
