Most of the latest crop of "eedjits" are illiterate, so a "backfoot war" would be largely futile.
However a two-paragraph post appears to have them whacked as their attention span doesn't run to more than one sentence unless that first sentence contains the words "cop" or "wheelie".
The unfortunate price we appear to pay for school holidays. Sigh.

Diversity and entertainment is what makes our gargre a most enjoyable place to be! I am a staunch supporter of freedom of expression. However when this "expression" goes on and on and on and on and on and bloody on, and nowhere, and then gets personal, that's when my dander goes up.
The recent offensive on our brethren who are law enforcement officers is one particularly unsavoury example of what I consider repulsive inanity (note the tactic of starting a second paragraph? Let's see if it works...).
Things have got to a low ebb when I am driven to consider using the "ignore" facility.

f*sakes.Putsomeclotheson!
I take your point. A lot of posts aren't worth the "screen estate". But that's the nature of the beast. Walk into a pub and eavesdrop on most conversations, they wouldn't stand publication on a forum such as this. A lot of people talk shite a lot of the time. And so on...
[2nd paragraph] I don't really mind too much what people do and say here. I say the test of their mettle is how they ride. I'll take one ride with anyone. If'n i don't wanna take a second ride with them they go on my ignore list...
And how come i got away with spelling cycnical like that hmmm? I'd like a stern reprimand forthwith!
I like bikes
Dont do it again, or the grammar police will bash your door down at 0400 in the morning and take you away for "re-education" :cool2:

Nah - it's too much fun writing stuff like that.....
Tho' I do like the title.... ta
Edit: The user title only gets to "prematurely disillusione" which isn't nearly as poetic.... I'll have to wait 'til I find a more concise label...

Oh and I got on the bike today for the first time in a month to do a quick run into town - I hadn't realised how much I missed it... Cripes it's good to be back on a bike
Even better when I'm lane splitting past stuck solid cages... heh heh heh....

Good photos, PT.
What camera were you using? I suspect you've posted about your camera before, so forgive my senility.

hey Maarten, welcome back man, great pics, looks like all you had over there was fine weather ?

The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
my own fault really.

Some of us would dispute that to the end...
mmmm.. that one of the inside-out rat... yummy
I will let him tell you more about the weather and camera specs - seems strange for me to answer questions about his trip... Then again, maybe I could charge out agent fees for representing him

Kodak DX6490 - 4MP, 10X optical zoom, F-stop 2.8-8.0, shutter speeds 1/1000 to 16 seconds, full manual mode, 256MB MMC card, (wank wank wank)
I also took a tripod but didnt use it for those photos.
I do like the camera - the manual mode is easy to use, rechargable batteries, big LCD screen, good menus and joystick to use it - only letdown is the dial for changing modes, which is hard to turn. I'd also like a greater range of F-stop values, but oh well.
The batteries last for about 300 photos if you dont use the LCD screen too much (use the little electronic viewfinder instead) or the flash. I took 2 fully charged Li-ion batteries (1700mAH), and used about 1.5 over the month.
Oh and FF - basically we had one day raining all day, and another 3 or 4 with a few showers. The problem was the wind (most days at least 20knots, if not 30) which made it hard to kayak around, and got the chop up a bit which meant we got wet.... Had only 3 or 4 calm days over the month.... Would be a great place to have a dirt bike over there.... mostly gravel, thin twisty roads...Only one cop....

Welcome back Maarten.
Are you back working at the information centre?
See ya on a ride when I get my bike sorted.
Der gummikuh man
Dont know really eric, I'm going to be in and out over the summer, I'm spending the second week on Jan up in the Bay of Islands, so I doubt I'll be working up at Arataki much....
You coming on the Tour de Ork ride?
