Hu bar boring old crap
 
Why don,t we have some interesting topics of conversation on here like some other ADV sites have or is this site completely occupied by boring old farts on BMW who don,t like bad behavior or driving fast cos they might upset someone.This page must just be boring old Brits,where are the mouthy Yanks or the pissy Europeans.

On a Roll
 
Albert,

You are on a roll. You must be throwing back a few pints tonight.

Keep throwing someshit against the wall - something will stick.

Good luck.

MysteryB 27 Sep 2008 06:56

I think Albert is on something, just not sure its a roll!!!!!

Oh, I think it's probably something you can roll up.

Oz 27 Sep 2008 19:26

toodle pip

pottsy 27 Sep 2008 20:07

My, my, Albert (is it?). Someone rattled your cage good and proper,eh! I sure wonder what's brought all this on... quick, Nurse - the medication!!
:confused1: :stormy: ?c?

albert crutcher 27 Sep 2008 21:51

point
 
I think you,re missing my point,the point being that this part of the Hubb is vastly under used and if the only way to get you boring old farts going is to piss on you a bit then so be it.Oh and just so you know I,m now also in Colombia with more guns,dogs and stunning self portraits and I drove my bike up here and did a country wide tour,it,s almost as exciting as a weekend in Kirby lonsdale!!!

You rely want to start a ADVrider jommama like stuff here? OK here you go.
guns are good all was have a few with you.
BMW are to slow.
no orange bike is worth the price.
trailer your bike to a nice spot then rip it up.
if your not drinking your not riding.
Hate people that are not just like you then hate them because they are like you.
Id post pics of cats and almost naked women but it eats up bandwith so I wont.
lots and lots of bad word here.

There that just about covers its.

Well you really ripped the shit out of it there didn,t you!!! Slightly limited outlook though.
So tell us what should we be talking about in the Hubb bar after all this is the internet not the bible.
So lets all swear and put up photos of cats and naked wimmin Woo-Hoo!!!

Funny this, just noticed other Hubbers actively watching this thread - waiting for someone to say something profound/contraversial! Ok then,... "Bibble"!!?c?

Hahahaha... Dennis, you have just redeemed yourself!

Thanks mate

albert crutcher 30 Sep 2008 22:47

not that there,s anything wrong with it
 
Now I have nothing against Homosexuals,but I,m not liking the sound of your kinky little fantasy there boys.
Oh and you won,t burst in!!! you,ll find out why when or if you ever get there.
Al theturtleshead

albert crutcher 30 Sep 2008 23:00

Oh yes
 
Yesterday I meet with a guy who posts here in Medellin and gave him info on Colombia Ecuador and Peru,then a little later a guy mails me about tyres in Quito and just now I put him onto a guy for a reasonably priced Galapagos trip.Then another poster here asks me to be a reference for a University trip he,s planning in South America and finally on Advrider a gal who wants a service and some tyres for her Klr when she gets to Quito.
I would have to ask Caminando other than whinge about me what have you done for the motorcycling community today.
Al theturtleshead

CornishDaddy 1 Oct 2008 07:39

Laugh
 
He made them laugh, which is a hugely important thing. Thanks

Al - stop taking yourself so seriously .... anyone would think you were a boring little British wanker .....

Al
That's what it's all about and what people in the HUBB appreciate most. Starting threads that have only one purpose ; to antagonise others isn't what it's about , so why not stick to what you are good at and for what folks will appreciate you for instead of some of this other rubbish you have been starting lately :nono:

Thats all fine and well,but this is the bar and it does say-THE HU BAR CHAT FORUM-NO USEFUL CONTENT REQUIRED.So I thought I,d stir it up a bit with some pointless crap,then you all get pissy about it.

You say this thread is boring - maybe it is. It's your thread after all. So why dont you post something interesting instead of trying clumsy windups? Put your money where your mouth is and show us what you're made of. Dont whinge and whine that you're not being entertained - YOU entertain us. So far you've failed miserably.

You've named yourself as a boring old Brit - now shit or get off the pot, and post something interesting for once in your life.

Mine's a double malt when I burst into your bar - and your place had better be interesting, pal.

Here's an idea to be put on U-Tube - a video of you being chased naked and screaming through the streets of Quito, with your lardy backside being whipped raw by a frayed BMW clutch cable.

What! you mean this isn,t getting pissy!
ps I didn,t say thread I said site.Just in case the old reading skills are starting to rust

Dont knock that whipping offer till you've tried it - people pay good money to have an

Regarding "bursting in" - Bertie boy, you put up a provocative little post, and you got a suitable response, so why are you blubbing because I teased you a little bit? Look I wont burst in to your bar if you're nervous....I promise. Is your thread less boring for you now? If you "have nothing against homosexuals", I promise to find a few for you when I meet those South American beautiful women when I visit your bar - now I cant say fairer than that! Do you want the clutch cable experience too?

I can see you're not from Glasgow because your lower lip is trembling a little, so you must be from say, the east coast? I thought you'd be up for a laugh after your naughty post - but oo-er, you're in a tizzy!

What did I do for the M/C community today? Crutchie, I'm not Mother Teresa. But I do stop and help any biker who needs a hand. As I'm sure you do. Let's go forward together.....

You want to kiss and make up? If I were you, I'd have a laugh, and get those double malts ready for me.

Auchentoshan is a fine Lowland malt - or a Bowmore, an excellent Islay malt....mmmmmm.

I loved the part where you had to reinforce your heterosexuality with the "when I meet the beautiful women" getting a bit nervous,the old ring twitching!!!
Al theturtleshead

BedfordMJ 1 Oct 2008 22:46

I'm Gay I'd whip him with an old courgette!

albert crutcher 1 Oct 2008 23:07

Oh yes
 
Being gay I would have thought you,d have something better than an old courgette.After all as Mel Brooks once said "if it wasn,t for Jews and Homosexuals there would be no entertainment"

Spot on Al, which is why I stopped frequenting this bar months ago: you have it right - everyone else is wrong. There are much better bars, maybe yours is one of them.
If the guys want to argue about it, I know another guy who will fix them for a price.
But I don't come cheap. 2000 euros per 5 days will do the trick.

albert crutcher 3 Oct 2008 06:32

Prime candidate
 
The prime candidate says he,s coming over here,so I,ll be able to hire the local talent over here and at a very reasonable rate I might add!!!
Thanks for the offer though,!
Al theturtleshead

albert crutcher 3 Oct 2008 15:31

professional
 
If you want the job done properly hire a professional.
I,ll be too busy running around naked being whipped by courgettes and clutch cables in your gay fantasy.
Al theturtleshead

DLbiten 4 Oct 2008 01:50

No one wants to see my back side and Im not in to that running around part any way. But seems to me that posting pics here may be ok. The hubb bar is a good idea but who is going to take the lead on interesting and new?

albert crutcher 4 Oct 2008 03:54

Indeed
 
Well I put up the "how interesting are you" thread with the idea of not hiding behind an avatar!
and thinking that there must be some interesting people with interesting lives here!
I,ve outed myself why don,t you give it a go!!!
Al theturtleshead

albert crutcher 4 Oct 2008 16:30

Jeez
 
Well a week later and it,s still boring!!! Even the Laughter Police can only manage to come up with "Dream on petal"
Walkabout must be right.Time to move to greener pastures....
I,ll just stick to South America.Won,t die of boredom down here!
Al theturtleshead

Walkabout 7 Oct 2008 19:25

Funny old thing, but I can't stand this HU bar until I've had a few glasses.
So, what the fu$ks an avatar anyway?

Most of my current second best mates are matelots and Royal Marines so lets not get into the whipping thing. (don't forget Trafalgar day chaps).

Rum, bum, baccy and the lash will bring the man out of any midshipman.

noel di pietro 7 Oct 2008 20:31

part of the problem
 
Dear Al,

As you rightly say, this thread is still boring and the funny thing is, it is despite your 'spicy' additions. So unfortunately I must conclude you are part of the problem!

Now there, is there any biker on this forum who has actually visited one of big Al's bars in Quito or Medellin? I would like to read a first hand review!

Oh and yes, I am probably one of the record holders in Hubb boredom so don't bother.

Cheers,
Noel

STG06 7 Oct 2008 23:18

Al The "Star"
 
Here's a little nugget mined from Derek Fairless's story from the Traveller's Stories section...
We all agreed to meet up and go on to The Turtles Head, a British Pub run by a Scot who brewed Real Ale there.

During dinner Albert arrived and introduced himself and we were all having a good old chinwag about our plans, when I mentioned my radiator problem.

Albert said that I was in luck because one of his chillers was having the heat exchanger repaired the next day by a guy who was probably the best aluminium welder in town. If I could get my radiator to the pub by 10am the next morning, he would get him to fix it. What a star!
Maybe a few more riders needing help coming into the Turtles Head would help keep Al from being bored.....

:mchappy:

Oh dear.

I'm really, really sorry.

At least the Matelots are only second stream, one rank higher and I would fear for the sanctity of your most sacrosanct sanctities.

Nope, I haven't visited, but renowned 'Bike Magazine' RTW biker journalist, Dan Walsh, speaks fondly about it, in his book "These are the days that must happen to you".
