Dear Aussie Thread Wánkers,
It's come to our attention that the 'Official Aussie Thread' is now taking up 56% of our alotted bandwidth for the month, yet none of you Roo Pokers have upgraded your membership by paying us 25 bucks. Also, we have discovered recently that you are all old fat slow bastards who have let to discover what MSN Messenger, iChat, AIM or ICQ is - meaning you are lowering the tone of the entire forum, flooding it with banter about cricket, and generally sh¡t-stirring the poor Seppos at every opportunity, causing confusion and mayhem everywhere.
Now, although you believe you are in the process of OWNING this forum through sheer quantity of verbal diahorrea, you are forgetting that this is a Dictatorship. As a result, we would be greatful if you kept it down to 2 pages per day. We understand the vital roll you collectively play in these forums ( keeping the bastards honest, calling d¡ckheads, 'dickheads' etc. ), but keep it down a bit fellas, okay?
Sincerely,
The Bikeforums management

New baby here, so pretty busy, didn't know about SBS, that's fantastic news. Better make sure I'm on leave next July. I'm avoiding the phenomenal Aussie thread... just too much in that one.

Jeez, grandpa, get with "it", man/dude!!Actually, our "keyboard player" quit, so we thought we wouldn't replace him, and
pocket more $$$$ each gig coz we went from 5 members to 4. All our keyboard
parts are now on an MP3 player.
The old gag: why are keyboard players like condoms?
Becuase you only use them when you absolutely HAVE TO!
