I think I should stay off the toad today

[p.dath]

I think something in the universe is telling me to stay off the road today.

Had a tough morning at work. Head off on bike to get lunch and then go to a job. While heading down the street my office is in I spot a white female in a car come around the corner down at the end of the road - and move into my lane.

I try to look her straight in the eye - but even though she is directly in front of me heading towards me in my lane I don't really feel she acknolwedges my existence. I flash my headlights. No reaction. Do it again. Nothing. Too far away at this point for a horn to be worthwhile.

So realising that two wrongs can be better than me being in the right but with a broken bike and body on the tar seal I simply choose to ride on the right hand side of the road until we pass each other, and then I return back to the left.

And the next thing that starts bugging me is the huge amount of oil on the road that has been bought up by the light rain. I'm riding around areas where cars do a lot of start/stopping. And it is really noticeable.

Next thing is I'm waiting at the rights to turn, stationery. And a car turns across my path cutting half way into my lane. I wasn't in danger, but they cut close enough to me to cause alarm.

Then the bike's fuel light comes on while I'm on the motorway. I didn't expect it to come on this early, so the fuel economy is well down this week for some reason. Perhaps too much commutting.


And it strikes me that the world suddenly doesn't turn against you. It's a sign I'm doing something wrong.

I think I'll stay off the road as much as I can for the rest of the day. I like living too much.

Dude, no wonder your having a bad day on the road. Stop licking toads before you ride!

Obviously you went out with a loaded gun......serious mistake that. Smash one out and watch your whole day turn around :woohoo::yes:

Yes, I reckon he should lay off the toads as well. I have an enchanting book at home called "When you lick a slug your tongue goes numb". I wonder if toads have the same effect.

It's amazing how close 'R' and 'T' are on the keyboard isn't.

Reminds me of an old song....

Smells like fish, tastes like chicken, you don't know what you've been licking, oh boy.

"When you lick a slug your tongue goes numb".

Same thing happens if you lick up a long line of ants.

not withstanding you being a Jaffa and all that, even though you pay rego, purchase petrol with
road tax etc, pay ACC through other means as well, but your new mayor does not want you on the road unless you are a commercial vehicle, good bye.

Really? Have you seen anything in the paper about this? Or are you referring to his strong preference for public transport?

[pritch]

How do you come to the conclusion that Looney Len likes public transport?
It's not as if he uses it himself.

[Coldrider]

Really? Have you seen anything in the paper about this? Or are you referring to his strong preference for public transport?He was on telly dissing all the parents who hog the roads taking their kiddies to school, even though he does it himself.
