Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Fetishes. They just can't be satisfied, can they?

Some old dude perv who is reliving the 80s over and over again did this.

I'm sure of it.

Hey munchie, 7 at the top of Jesmond bike track? Did you want me to bring the tubes, or you want to get them on the way back. I'm about 3 streets up from the bike track.

I'm assuming he would have been about 13 when the movie came out...

7 should be good. If I'm not there by 7:10 then assume I've slept in, punctured, been squished, etc.

As for the tubes, bring 'em with you. I don't wanna screw up your day by making you wait until I get back from wherever.

Ok. If I'm not online between now and then, and anything changes, send me an email. Have a safe and happy piss-up tonight. And Koffee, you have a good one too, even though you have to wait an extra day.

Yeah. Eartha. She's good stuff.

Next year, new look with a new avatar. Stay tuned. Maybe I'll debut it here in the Aussie thread.

No, I didn't report him. I don't do things behind people's backs. I posted about it here because it is the most offensive word going about. Plus so everyone would know that we Aussies like to keep our posts civil, clean and suitable for all parents to send their kids here for a bit of fun.

Seeing as the other awards fell over, maybe we should have our own party here. That way:

We can nominate for any category we want.
We won't get our knickers in a knot because there are so few of us, we ALL will win at least one category.
We can take the p!ss out of each other without someone taking their bat and ball and going home.
Talking of p!ss, the p!ss-up for the presentation will be awesome -- combine it with an AT@-whatever-it-is-ride beforehand.
We can devise new ways to take a rise out of the seppos without them really knowing.

Any other ideas?

531 and I discussed something about the use of the word (unrelated to mr white) on PMs not so long ago. To me it's not something in good taste. We all might use it occasionally, but it's pretty offensive to women, and not suitable for young posters, in my estimation. We get away with a fair amount here, and I push the envelope, too, but certainly that's too far even pour moi. It was pretty crabby last night (friggin' viruses and adware), and he was one in my sights. As was [165] for his stuck-up-his-own-@rse, petty-minded meanness.

There were also awards that people referred to as "negative", such as:

least charming member
most grouchy member
biggest know-all member
worst signature, etc, etc,

These started out kinda funny, but then in got a bit serious, so someone
started a thread complaining about the whole thing, and it was soon all over.

Was I ever even in the running? I'd personally be thrilled to be recognised for dubious achievements.
