Nup, you're farked. It's all the chemicals and GM ****e you eat. It's tuning your mellon to sludge already.

Interestingly, a quick Google shows Australia second only to Japan among large populated countries.

An example of a state that falls into this time zone, as the convertors dont have central time listed.

It's been an adjustment.

There are mountains in Utah. Apparently though most of them are attached the the front of Aussie ski-bunnies. :D

I've just come back from the...um.....my wifes' (yes royale, I said WIFE!) grandad's funeral and are super-tanked already. Freakin' brother-in-law is a power drinker and I'm having a tough time keeping up. *looks at watch*...only 3pm.....fark me....I'm screwed....

I e-mailled those Frenchies with the stupor-light rims. Hopefully they'll e-mail back so we can make some sub 1300g mtb disc wheels sometime into the future. Gawd, it took me 5 goes to spell 'futut.......hahahah!.....future!

:o

Hey, get this; Last winter I bought a Specialized vest. Cost me a good dollar but hey, I wanted something decent. The bludy zip was dodgy from the start. It kept getting caught and was a ***** to put up and down but I persevered, (why I don't know except that the shop, Northside Avanty +, are not that close to where I live). Anyway, this season the zip gave up completely, won't stay closed. So I takes it back and they tell me it isn't warranty because the zip isn't covered by warranty???? Like I'm supposed to pay $85 a year to wear a bludy Specialized freekn vest. And Tony Whiteside is a fellow Warratah!
Am I being screwed or what?

jock 05-05-06 05:28 AM

I only need to look out the front of our house to see huge, snow covered mountains. As far as the other kind - we can ride our bikes to Sundance and see all manner of celebrity plastic.

For what it's worth, Central time US is Greenwich +6 or Philippines/Japan -13

Didn't you see the photos of my car covered in it? This whole place is one big freezer. When we first got here, I gave my wife the weather report - low was minus 2, high was zero. It's warmed up since then. You can ski in shorts and a t-shirt.

It's less than 20 minutes to get to the snow, and our toaster gets 30+ miles per gallon of $2.79 petrol.
