Touchy arent they.. I gave em my 2c
I generally dont care what anyone calls me, least of all in some bikeforum...but..

FWIW, I got verballed by Aussies twice...in the same week for some reason.

Once in our work carpark by the facilities manager of the office next door who thought as he shouted at me for parking in the wrong spot, he could mimic my accent and take the pi$$ while abusing me.
FWIW, i did the right thing and drove off, only 5 mins later i felt like going back and punching his fat red head in! So I reported it and he got a written warning. HR figured that he might think it's ok winding me up but you couldnt mimic an asian/indian accent while abusing someone and expect to get away with it..right?

Then again by an older road rage dude, He figured I was in his lane (I hadnt actually moved) and wasnt interested in his crap, even when when he came chapping on my window abusing me. When he heard the accent and shouted "Go home you import"..well thats when I went banzai!

Yeah I dont have a gazillion years of persectuion, in fact the grand total is about 15 seconds but I tell ya when someone pushes those buttons in a confrontational situation...not good!

Seppos pwn3d.

I was just over at another forum I hang out on, Jihadforums.com. You wanna see what they call Seppos there! Running pig-dog imperialist spawn of satan infidel is considered polite.

Och aye jock. Ah cannah agree more. Ah dinnae know wha sum peeple ahre oon aboot. Whas oop wi sum peeple? Wahs the world comin' tah laddie.

were those singles or HP's on that wheelchair?

Flat stage again tonight lads. Will pshaw go for FOUR????

Why the hell not! Robbie in green.

Clearly you're feeling a bit guilty about this - which makes you a nice bloke with a conscience. HOWEVER, if you were on a schedule and he wasn't in obvious trouble/distress, then sticking to your own plan was appropriate.

I'm assuming your schedule wasn't so tight that you couldn't have slowed down and ridden with this guy which is why your conscience is tickling you. On the other hand, putting yourself into a potentially dangerous situation in order to help out or be nice to someone else is never a wise thing to do, so either way, you did the right thing.

You didn't know I could write Scottish, didja?

If I tip him...he will come! Yep, It's Robbie again for stage 9
Followed by a healthy dose of Cadel in stages 10 & 11.
Does anyone reckon Landis is a real threat in the mountains?

Fingers crossed that Robbie and Cadel get a jersey each!

Ah didnae ken, whaur did ye learn tae parlee ecosse? Fae ra sounds ah it yer an eastie beastie, Eh man?

Nope. Fair effort too.

You didn't know I'm 9 parts Irish (Murphys vs O'Briens) didja? Heeehehehehee

Made me think, I did a six hour presentation to a customer today who video'd the whole thing, do you reckon they will understand a word when the play it back?

80L tank??!! WOW! I thought they were 60

knowing my car, this is quite possible. There's a hole in the boot

And 6 inches of growling dog

Anyone seen expat or has he been kidnapped by the evil web developer who's taken 6 months to get his new site up and running?

I purchased 'Trainspotting' with English translation footnotes at the bottom of each page.

Hell yeah. I'm a great believer in looking after the fallen, especially newbs out of their depth on a group ride. I'll go back and help when all the other juggernauts plow on in ignorance.

Someone who can't keep pace in peak hour on a three lane highway is asking for trouble. I remember just what it was like when I dragged the bike down off the wall again. It was hell on every ride for weeks, and I was even riding on the friggin footpath on where I knew I was going to hold up traffic badly!!!!

But I didn't wan't to get tangled up in his woes either, so I just left him to live and learn. He didn't seem keen to try to keep pace (read suffer) anyway. End of partnership.

Unlikely, my 1992 Laser TX3 4WD Turbo has a 60L tank. You don't reckon Ford would put the same size tank as a 4-cyl rice rocket in a honking great Fairmont - the howls of outrage from the heartland would have been deafening.

Then again, I could be wrong, but I did think the bigger cars had bigger fuel tanks.

He called me a liar the other day. I took great satisfaction in dispelling that myth. I am a man of honour. Tardy maybe, but still a man of honour.

Best night out I ever had was in that nightclub from Trainspotting, it was built on a traffic island in Glasgow (not Edingburgh as depicted)...and has since been demolished

Rockin out to Secret Samardi on 11 with monitors at very close range. Kick drum is pounding my chest as if I was sitting inside a W bin at an Angels concert at the Newcastle Workers. One of my mates fell asleep inside one of those one night!!! God knows how. How he can still hear, that is.

oh yeah.........65L then?

I just got back from the Tuesday night drags on Beach Rd.
Nobody showed up (must've been the balmy weather), and I got mt first puncture in about 9 months!!

In english?

No luck
serves ya right for training...and if no-one turns up..its secret training!
