I can only imagine. Has the thread been deleted? Anyone still have the email?

[edit] Tiger's too busy (stuck up? ) to spend all day on here. Maybe he still has the email of everyone's comments?

It was DnvrFox, who was against the awards from the start, but joined in to show how ridiculous the negative ones could be. I thought he was OK about it all. There were others who obviously weren't and pharqued it up. And 531, you were the one who posted on that insulting people thread. You can't resile from that in regard to the negative award categories, can you? For example, I haven't seen Merton post in the past couple of days. Maybe he's gone off and topped himself over it all. Who knows? Polls for people become politics. Nice people aren't politicians, or don't stay nice for very long.

Threads have gone. But you can go looksee the *****fight I had with [165]. The funniest bit of that thread is at the end. See the one by Stacey over flogging a dead horse.

Jeez...

Yes...the C-word doesn't need to come out.

Feck off ya seppo imposter! Some of us DO have a life, ya know. ( Read: Partner who insists I should not waste my life on the net and instead do something real, like dig a big hole in the back yard )

On the Sue Nami front, I got an e-amil from Oxfam/Intrepid saying that we're still going to Sri Lanka in April, except we will probably be 'Avoiding the coastal regions'.

Right.

Are they joking?

"Best Plastic Bike Award"?

Yeah! Where IS Sacco?

"Most Unused Italian Racing Bike of the Year Award"

To Thylo, I can only say thank you.
To Ed, I'd like you to know the kids got me that classic Aussie legal thriller for chrissy - the pool room version no less.
To Saccy, HAHA you have a plastic bike.
And finally, to all of youse, for teaching me fine Aussie slang, and how to use it in the forum. I've enriched my vocabulary with words like *****, *****, fark, phark, pharque, fook, feck (new today!), cobber, seppo, and d!ckhead. Thankfully, they were not always directed at me.

In the words of Chopper's dad when he got out of prison "Cheers big ears".

i dare you to post your kms on the "bike miles for 2004" thread.

There were 3 Scapins on last night's group ride. It's funny to see young guys riding steel.

Be lucky to hit 4 figures, mate.....hee hee!!

FECK is irish.

Well fark me, how was I supposed to know that?

I never stopped riding steel........oh wait, I had a Kinesis back when I was about 22. But hey, I was 22, what did I know?

Speaking of steel, just finished building up my new singlespeed. 21.56lbs! Stoked! not bad for a big arse steel mountainbike. ( Oh, that's 9.8kg for all you non Emprical people )

What's it made of...Columbus Brain?

mmmmmm.......brains.......*unggghhhhfff*......brains........*nnuuggnn*.......................BRAINS!......


Nah, actually, it's Zona, coz it was built like, you know, this decade

My single speed is supposed to be Kinesis tubing, but the dropouts are stamped Easton. Any ideas how that works out?

Yup. Easton makes tubing as well as a few hardpoints like dropouts, a chainstay yoke etc., and Kinesis has a factory in Oregon I think. Kinesis is a manufacturer, so obviously they just decided to use Easton dropouts in much the same way I use Breezer or Paragon dropouts on my schtuff.

Oh, btw, Aluminium singlespeeds are a sin. Destroy yours immediately. Thank you.

I'll put it back together and have a 21lb hardtail.

Good. It's much more fun taking a sledgehammer to it when it's fully built up.

You still cranky because your wife made you dig a hole?

Expat, are you going to have a looksee at the fireworks on Sydney Harbour tonight? Are you and the missus going to ride there and back (compulsory bike content)?

So is fook

Sorry Muncho, but did you guys know that Gitane produce kids bikes?

https://www.gitane.com.au/2004junior.html

Gitane used to ridden by Tour greats.

Oh dear; what has become of a company that was once so great? ................why oh why.
