We'll buy you a beer on Good Friday in the Jubille if you're able to persuade Surf Patrol that this discussion isn't all that bad.

:(

PS Rob, Not long till Combe

2 unintelligible posts from 2 first time posters.
That coupled with a texting poll !!! (you know my aversion to mobiles and text speak)

(I'm still considering deleting it :twisted:)


So you deleted the first thread...and then they started this one...correct?

I thought it was the same thread, but had our gibberish posts deleted, and he had edited his.

Not long till 'Combe

Postby Idiot Rob » Thu Nov 16, 2006 5:16 pm

Afternoon everyone...

Idiots the name - Texting 'Not Long Till 'Combe' is the game.

Last year I received over 1500 text messages starting from 9.32pm on the 12 November 2005 up to and including Good Friday. Which were based loosely on the theme of reminding me that it is 'not Long Till 'Combe' which is where we have been visiting for nearly ten years now each Easter. As I live in Bristol now, my 'friends' plague me incessantly for six months of the year with messages and texts. My Wife threw the house 'phone into the garden last year at approx 3am, some time in March, as my 'friends' worked out that texting a landline makes it sound like Tom Baker is talking to you. They even text their own land lines to ensure the diction and internation is correct. I asked them to be more creative in their messaging. This is a good opening gambit in their defence. They took the campaign abroad to cities around Europe last year. Hopefully this year they can go Global.

We are all in our Early 30's. Don't do an awful lot of surfing to be honest, in fact last year I didn't see the sea in three days in Woolacombe. But fair play to Delbsgaffer he has attacked the Pelaton very early in the race this year - can he sustain this creativity? only time will tell.

Good luck everyone.

Village Idiot.

Seeing as there's very little to do with surfing in this thread can it at least be moved if not deleted entirely?

Combe

Postby Idiot Rob » Fri Nov 17, 2006 7:43 am

Ok - it's not about surfing directly - but we are promoting a key surfing venue on the N Devon coastline, which can only serve to boost the industry in the long term.

And we've all watched Point Break and really really enjoyed it......dude

If only we'd stuck to our nonsense, but that novelty would have worn of pretty quick.

To be fair, this topic hasn't done bad has it?

a) it's achieved 452 viewings and 35 posts
b) generated some awareness and traffic to your website
c) you have a bunch of new members
d) and its given you something to talk about for the last few days

Just out of interest....when is the 50 year storm due? Or was it indeed at Bells Beach Australia a few years ago?

Lets be fair Kite Surfer, you started this.

Ultimately if you don't like a thread then don't read it, don't ask for it to be removed or moved, the references to the words dude and point break were surely designed to wind you up.

It seems to have worked as well!

Postby Idiot Rob » Fri Nov 17, 2006 10:59 am

Sorry for any upset my reference to the word 'Dude' might have caused. Blame Keanu and Patrick but don't hold me responsible.

Anyway, enough of this, I think this forum subject is totally rad'.
