Afternoon lads...I hate Seppo's!!...well, one individual.
Just had 2 days of arguing with this piece of crap...What's worse is that I'm his bl**dy project manager...anyone interested in driving their car up Flinders Lane at a great rate of knots just as he walks out the door?
I gotta go...needed to get that off my chest!!

Thanks ed....AAAHHHHHHHH....I threatened to b*tch slap this prick about an hour ago...Fargen a-hole. Such a condescending smug. I think I'm gunna sack him. The thing that p*sses me off the most is that he deliberately argues and then smirks at me to get a rise and I fall for it all the time....AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

IT project managers don't need to know how to spell, that's what spell-checkers are for. Project managers barely knowing how to work a computer seems to be a common trend, I've been able to bull**** my way past everyone I've ever had

I noticed that a while ago -- what's the deal? Is that for the cobbles?
I have a 20mm Grand Prix on my Kervello, and there's only about 7mm clearance.

Did you do that for comfort, or 'coz you're big?
I assume you deliberately built a longish head-tube for the "bend over" height you wanted. How long is it?
No braze on?
Are they standard or "old" diameter tubes?
48mm rake: how's that going?
I tried a DT RR1.1 as a rear wheel but didn't like it; thought it was a bit too flexy. I suppuse it could've been the build.

I assume from football?
I retired at 18 after a not so stellar year with Oakleigh under 18s. There was no way I was gunna play VFA seniors back in 1985; it was frightening enough playing against the Sunshine, Brunswick and Yarraville juniors!
