Friday Night Rants?

[ajturbo]

ffs you two... Drew, i think your meds need to be upped, D.. i think you need to buy me more beer..

Drew, it's a shame the water here has been poisoned to kill some bug.
the water is now the worst in all of NZ..
it is so bad the just last week, the local mayor has ordered that the amount of chlorine be dropped,
like D said, it IS like drinking pool water. i bet even you wouldn't drink that..!

but at the end of the day, this thread is about "Ranting" on a friday night.. and if it offends someone.. that person has missed the point...
i remember the early days of this site, the good old days, where we could rant and rave.. and everyone knew it ment nothing more than just that,
if it was directed at anyone/race/religion.. it didn't fuckin mater... it was only fun.!
but if anyone took offence, THEY were eaten alive by better wordsmiths than me... but all in GOOD jest..!!!!

so again, i say lighten up matey.. smile at the world...

Maybe Drew hasn't travelled much? Christchurch used to have the best water in the country, then somebody thought it would be a good idea to put irrigated dairy farms in one of the most drought prone places in the country with a relatively high water table. SURPRISE! The aquifer now has harmful organisms in it.

I was hosting a national championship once and received abuse from the Canterbury contingent for not warning them about the taste of the water here. Even when brushing their teeth. Next time I buy whisky I'll also buy some bottled water. Our tap water could taint the whisky. Seriously, sometimes it is that bad.

So Dangerous has cause to feel aggrieved, and he placed his whinge in the appropriate place. What's to disagree with?

[Drew]

I know what the thread is about. That doesn't mean that anyone whinging is right about anything.

[dangerous]

yes that is correct AJ... cos you never know when it is your last day in this world...

Drew read between the lines bad bad timing on your behalf...

What the fuck are you on about? I'll say what the fuck I like and whenever the fuck I like to do it.

I'll do it twice when cunts make jokes about me being medicated. As though that means anything that I get angry about is simply an unregulated response. As though ANY FUCKING BODY has the right to fucking belittle me for being open about mental health issues.

Drew you are over reacting, have you considered perhaps he didn't know you are on medication? upping the meds is a pretty common phrase.
Also you left your self open by starting that whole conversation with an abrasive argumentative response to something that didn't even involve you in the first place.

Whinging about chlorinated water is dumb. Only a fucken idiot would have an issue with killing off potentially lethal bugs in the water supply.

If that cunt is gonna have a rant, he should make it about an actual problem. Preferably an issue that doesn't stem from a racist bigoted standpoint. But if he wants to go that route again, at least I get to swear and call names.

Oh yeah. Only a particularly thick cunt would be more offended at being called an idiot than a racist.


That one piece in itself excludes your own access to the moral highground where it comes to saying what you like where or when it suits you.
Perhaps you should actually find out about the CHCH water supply chlorination before commenting?

I don't have or want the moral anything.

'When it suits me', refers to some fucken shit about timing. I've got no fucken idea what that's about.

Your own single post .
You cant have it both ways Drew.
Either you or everyone has the right to say whatever they want as you claim to above. or anybody doesn't have a right to say what ever they want if it offends you or others.

Personally I don't think anyone has a right to express a racist or sexist opinion or make derogatory remarks about a persons mental or medical issues on a forum.

What about breasts - shall we rant about breasts?

You should cry to a moderator about it.

Nice troll, While I meant to be doing this, should I PM all the abusive rep messages where you struggled to get all that sand out of your stevagina.

You know the ones where you get so upset at the you lose the plot and throw all the toys out of the cot?
Id wager you often send them to quite a few others as well.

But in fairness it hasn't gone unnoticed that since KB had a bit of a clear out of the other trolls you seem to have suddenly become less abusive.
Welcome to the new KB.
ps you're an egg...........
pps have you started a poll about it all yet?

[Berries]

It's Christchurch. Who fucking cares?

[dangerous]

ok... ya want a real serious rant, WHY THE FUCK DID BILLY JOEL HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT...


last friday i and a lot of others lost a very dear friend on her bike... this friend was also AJs partner, She is one of those people that ya just cant come to grips as to why... why the fuck her...

not looking for condolancs or rips here in fact dont post any its not personal enough... the rant is lifes not often fair but we must deal with it no mater how trivial or not.
Ya wana know how much of a dick I felt driving from home to her 2nd home just up the road every half hour knowing she was over due, my 8yr old who sheared her last meal with asking whats wrong dad... seeing the outside light on knowing ot was there for her... well I turned that light of sat morning cos on my last drive down there fri night the phone rang... I turned around and drove home...

treasure life people dont stay sour at it, look at what you do have...

[Drew]

Prolly makes me a bully. But I just straight up start calling cunts that do, pieces of shit.

I understand the comment about timing now, AJ had a big personal loss. That sucks for him. I can't fathom why I should have known that and not tell him to stick it up his arse when he says racist jokes are ok though.

wasn't about you knowing... its about how to treat other people, you never know there circumstances, like I dont know yours.

calling some one a piece of shit, cos they called some one a black cunt ... makes you no beter than them, and im damn sure you are...

look at what you have, not what you dont... meds can be a right head fuck, I know iv been there, I still am and most likely will be for life... getting the right one is not easy infact the way they test you out on cheap shit to start with is damn right crewl... my advice for anyone on meds be it for the head or a sore toe... bitch to the quacks till you are happy, no point in being down and taking others with you.

[ajturbo]

Stick it up your arse.+

Thats more like it..!!!

[Grumph]

Well, I survived and I'm out. Normal service should be resumed in about 4 - 6 weeks.

But bloody Hospitals...Yes, I know I should be grateful, I now have four new transfer ports to go with the electronic ignition.
The attitude to paracetamol use has to be seen to be believed - given with every meal plus on demand up to a nominal ceiling of use per day.
Personally, I was lucky and didn't need much pain relief - but even with that low use I reached maximum Paracetamol - for me - where I was shaking and sweating after taking two. Given a choice I'd prefer morphine as I've found much less side affects from prolonged use.

And potassium - all cardiologists are mad alchemists who imagine that force feeding potassium will magically cure all ills. In some it may. In me and those around me, it caused much angst as it frankly ain't pleasant...

The leg's still a bit sore - probably a result of having Kickaha in the next hospital room. Stick my head round the corner and ask how he is in the morning - and get told he's already walked too bloody far before 7am....So of course I tried to compete with a guy around 30 years younger. Won't do that again.

after my recent visit I noticed the paracetamal use was high to, but worked well and still is on my nerve damage so didnt complain... one nurse did give me morphine i never noticed any diferance... but surley if you dont tolarate para then asking for morph and you should have recieved?
re potassium... i know nothing

[husaberg]

Re Potassium
pretty sure Its code for Pot or Hash.

[Kickaha]

The attitude to paracetamol use has to be seen to be believed - given with every meal plus on demand up to a nominal ceiling of use per day.
I asked them if I had to take it and was told while I was there yes, last couple of days in ICU and first day/night on the ward I did have my little friend which would administer morphine at the press of a button, found the other shit they gave me for home worked much better in combo with the paracetamol and ibuprofen than by itself

Not much else to do while you're in there, couple of days after I came out of the coma, they had me walking around ICU hooked up to a portable unit, worst part of that was just getting out of bed

[Grumph]

Went back to ward 10 on Thursday for a visit. My brother's there waiting for his 2nd bypass.....
Very close to full occupancy at present - certainly a lot more there than when Kick and I were in.
The bro's got a group of guys around him who are all waiting for a surgeon to come back from doing expensive private work and do them.
They were at least quite relieved to speak to someone who'd been there 6 1/2 weeks back - and survived.

I couldn't find any of the docs from the team which did me. I wanted to ask who'd sewn up my leg - and if I could have two minutes on their leg with a blunt apple corer....

[Grumph]

This is starting to get boring....
Went back to ward 10 for a followup check. ECG and chest Xray. Fluid on the lungs and the leg's still infected - with a bloody hole you could poke yer finger in.
So they kept me there overnight. Fair enough.
Got verbally assaulted by a physio for not doing my walking - hence the fluid. Showed her the leg and got an apology of sorts....

I'm now using an exercycle which is working in that the fluid is dropping in conjunction with piss pills....But the leg is a long way from healing.
If you do the required exercise, the bloody hole is just being pulled open.....catch 22.

Plus every bastard has prescribed different antibiotics. Different one each week...now had nearly everything twice ffs.

The occasional member of the team who did me, that I see in passing while at the hospital, takes one look and shys away.....

Bah, humbug.

[Drew]

Fuck, why is there a hole in your leg?

[Grumph]

Fuck, why is there a hole in your leg?

Well, they rip a spare vein out of the leg to use for the grafts around the heart. This leaves a scar from just below the knee to just above the ankle.
In my case the leg became infected. The infection produces heat and fluid which has to go somewhere. It found it's way out via a hole where it burst the stitches....
Duct tape is only of so much use sadly. Luckily it's not painful. Just fucking annoying.

Went for a wee drive in the country last night in da car, just to see the difference between car and bike.

the bike is like holding a kerosene lamp during a storm, it’s there but not really illuminating.

BUT

the number of cars with 1 or NO headlights on was just about 40% of the cars on the road. Like WTF, it was a dark knight.

even modern cars seem to have ‘park’ lights on.

there was a couple of close calls as the opposite number obviously couldn’t see.

do we need a kick up the arse, come on check your lights:sunny:

even one possum took on my car, and lost, dam thought he was a pedestrian on a crossing:innocent:

BTW I am a fan of good lighting at night

There's apparently been quite a bit of talk about this on the other social media.....General opinion seems to be it's a byproduct of the longer warrant periods.
My opinion is that it's simply too easy to get away with it without penalty. Do police patrols even take place at night on the open road ?
Out here your 40% one headlight is actually low.

[Honest Andy]

Auto headlights should be banned.
Too many people rely on them but the sensors don't pick up fog or other visibility hazards. Apparently in some parts of the world the auto windscreen wipers activate the headlights too.
Fucksake. What's next? Self drive cars...?

[Navy Boy]

Until earlier this year we had home broadband and phone landline with Vodafone. During our time with them we moved from North Shore to Blenheim - My wife contacted them at the time to tell them of the new address and so on and the service continued at our current address with no issues. They even contacted my wife on the same e-mail address as before and the service continued as before.

Then late last year the service simply stopped one Saturday morning - No warning, no freak weather, nothing.

After contacting Vodafone they tell us that we've changed details and that we now need to go through the whole setting-up process once more... This despite them having provided us this service for the previous 12+ months with no issues.

This we duly do - This was a long and patience-testing process on its own.

I then decide that I've had enough of this and hunt around for another supplier. We settled on Spark (Mainly as they have an outlet in Blenheim which seemed to be friendly and approachable). We then go about setting up with them and all goes to plan (This time with no landline as we have 2 mobiles instead).

When I contact Vodafone (Whom we've been with since Oct 15) to tell them to send me a settlement bill and the reason for doing so they tell me that I owe them a $199 early severance cost... They reckon that the recent change of address adds up to a new contract and that we are therefore severing it early. I refused and after a lot of being put on hold (I'm sure this is done on purpose to wear you down) they agree to waive the charge and send me a final bill.

Ironically this actually means that they owed me a small amount (Some $8 if memory serves). End of story you might think... No.

They then send me a statement saying that they need me to contact them and charge me some $5 for the administrative so that I am owed $3 instead.

Seriously you couldn't make this up.

I phoned them at the end of Jun, provided them with my account details (Again...) and asked them to pay the amount into my account.

Guess what - Still nothing.

How do these people stay in business?:argh:

A pertinent rant.
I commute at dawn and dusk, usually in mist at this time of year. A lot of drivers do not have their headlights on, bloody scary.

Bizarrely, at dawn it's usually white and silver cars looming out of the murk, often too fast, perfectly camouflaged.

In the evenings it's dark coloured cars without lights.... go figure.

Oh, I doff my cap in the general direction of the bike commuters I see daily, 4c, dark, misty and super slick roads with only a tea light on the front of the bike.

Worse is the idiot with no lights on who is behind a vehicle with extra bright headlights.

And you wait for Mr Brightlights to go past-then start your right turn to head down a side street


And at the last minute you spot Mr Nolights barrelling down on you....:wacko:

[Autech]

Agree on the auto head lights. If cunts are too thick to turn on their head lights then cunts shouldn't be driving. Anything that takes your mind off the conditions is very very bad. Mindless drivers make mindless decisions.

So is this a generalisation or is it a blanket "all people who drive a car with auto headlights are cunts" statement?
My current vehicle has auto headlights and I will happily admit that I am not the worlds most perfect driver, but branding me just because of auto headlights seems a bit harsh!
I live in Northland and believe me, there are plenty of people up here that are a fuck sight worse drivers than me and some that could do with headlights eventhat worked for starters! Cant see how auto headlights could make them any worse!

That said though, imo, auto headlights are a bad thing as mentioned above. They take the onus of safety away from the driver. If someone can't think "it's foggy best turn my lights on" rather than nothing at all as they are too stupid to reach for a switch should they really be driving? I guess I prefer to be in control of whether a truck doesn't see me and pulls out, so even with auto headlights I choose to turn them on or off when I deem it right.
Good driving is a mindset is the point I am trying to get across and requires thought to be done right. Attentive drivers don't make as many mistakes. If every driver focused 100% on driving all the time we would have a much lower road toll.

I know right, it seems 33% of the population drive around with their fog lights on all the time. Arseholes
33% drive at dusk or dark with no lights. Arseholes
33% drive grey cars on grey roads during grey days with no lights. Arseholes

If they can't get these basics right, what the fuck else are they doing wrong

yup, totally agree, they will never get my business again, we were with vodafone with mobile broadband, then shifted to an area that didn't recieve it but we could get fast broadband, ya would think it would be easy to transfer but no, they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg to severe the previous contract of which we were under the impression we had already passed the contract term, then they didn't send the new modem out on time so we had to postpone the installation, add to that the ridiculous amount of time spent on hold with me finally ringing orcon and having the new connection up and running within three days. i did get grumpy and after finally getting to talk to a real person and then getting a supervisor on the line i told them exactly what i thought of their company in a very impolite manner.
the icing on the cake was when 12 months later i get an invoice in the mail saying i had a $250.00 credit and they were charging me a $5.00 per month administration fee, so i gets on the phone and got through to an oversees contact centre where some lady with a strong asian accent asks me for my bank account details to deposit the refund in to, i said just send it out in the form of a cheque as i don't offer my bank details to oversees contact centres, total assholes wasted way to much of my time

re the headlight thing - many cars now have the instrument panel (dashboard) lights on all the time, regardless of the state of the headlights. I got caught out with this not long after getting the current car, pulling out of a gas station at night not realising I hadn't turned on the lights (car does not have auto headlights). Could have been nasty.

Wish my old moody Mitsibishit van did, it decides every now and again at its own will " I'm not letting you see the dash lights tonight", its other little quirk is when it is really damp weather will decide randomly that it will suddenly just loose power and die as you drive along. Turn the key off, wait a while, starts and drives like nothing happened, farking gremlins have got in there :bash: But I shouldn't complain, because its now Saturday.

You might find that if you have the lights on when you stop and turn off the engine the lights will go off then or when you open the driver's or a short time after you've turned the engine off. When you restart the engine the lights come back on...

[russd7]

our auto headlites are shit, and our dashlights are lit up all the time but its not hard, learn to turn everything off when you stop, ie headligths and wipers and heaters etc then ya get in the habit of only turning them on when needed, on a side note our dashlights dim when the headlights are turned on so thats how i know if they are on or not.
grinds my gears when i hop in either of my cars and someone has left the effen wipers turned on and they go scratchin across a dry wind screen fucking the blades

I just never turn my lights off, so they are going day and night. The only reason to touch the stalk is to switch from low to high beam. The auto headlight setting was annoying.

Interesting - I see a lot driving without their lights on at dusk and I could not work out why given the dash lights would be on.

However picked up a late model Suzuki SX4 for Mrs B this week and the dash lights are always on as you say - a indicator symbol comes on when you turn park/lights on. So retrospectively I can see why some knob may not have their lights on.

Dangerous.

I've had less problems since I got out of hospital than he has and we got out within a couple of days of each other, although they put several holes in me none of mine started leaking

There's apparently been quite a bit of talk about this on the other social media.....General opinion seems to be it's a byproduct of the longer warrant periods.
My opinion is that it's simply too easy to get away with it without penalty. Do police patrols even take place at night on the open road ?
Out here your 40% one headlight is actually low.

I smiled at one add for a car for sale on one "Social Media" ... needs four new tires, uses oil and needs topping up. Both CV joints need replacing ... but it doesn't affect how it drives.

I'm thinking ... it will. Real soon ...

And re:Police Patrols ... I have been stopped in my travels at all hours of the day and night. That there aren't that many out at night ... would be the way to bet ... if you gambled ...

There is the belief with many that as long as the WOF is current ... cops can't/wont charge you for one headlight/brakelight etc ... and depending on the police patrol urgency at any given time at night ... sometimes they are correct. But if the patrol is "Random Stopping" for breath tests ... only one brake/headlight working is effective bait.

Today in the car, I appeared to be a magnet for fucktard drivers.

To be clear a Fucktard is the off-spring of a Fuckwit and Retard mating.

By the time I got home from my 50 odd km round trip I was ready for Youtube video road-rage.

To add to the rant, Bunnings was busy, busy with more fucktards - as in people happy to walk right in front of a moving shopping trolley. Then look up from their fartphone in shock when I run into them. This happened twice. Trolling along with the before mentioned loaded trolley and someone head down on their phone walks right in front of me.

It is highly likely I need to consider a new job as I am becoming intolerant of dickheads out of working hours as a result of years of having to deal with my daily clientele.

if he was doing it commercially then he is not allowed to operate machinery under age 15 but as far as i am aware there is no law in NZ. if anyone wants to prove me wrong post a link to the law or worksafe SWI document. I would be interested in reading that one.
and No, Paying one of your own dependents pocket money for doing chores is not considered commercial activity, paying a neighbours kid to mow your lawns could be.

if you have a pressure switch still hooked up on your ride on seat then there really is bugger all that can go wrong unless they are mowing the hill paddock with it.

a 12yr old can still drive a tractor on a farm

[Drew]

There is potential to be prosecuted for endangerment or neglect, if the manufacturer of the ride on specifies an age restriction.
Other than that, let him at it.

Highly likely - why?

1. Americans like to sue Americans - shag the neighbor and her fu-fu is a bit sore the next day it is likely she will sue you for loss of function, lost wages (had to take the day off as she struggled to walk) etc etc

2. Americans.

3. Fuck-tard inbreeds (potentially Americans again) - these morons just do stupid things, thus the government must set rules/laws to cater for their lowest common denominator (as in the fuck-tard).

Might not be the news you want to hear, but under the age of fourteen he is not allowed to be home alone without supervision.

Yet turn 14 they can not only be home alone but they can also be said supervision... straight from "not responsible enough to be home alone" to "here be responsible for these kids"

Shout out to the NZ Police who were out first thing Monday for a dust inside the car, unfortunately whilst they weren't smart enough to get it going they were smart enough to wear gloves the little bastards. Next time it will be a harder target as I will have sensor lights and cameras up. Shouldn't need to but this is human nature i guess.

The cop that did the dusting suggested I let my dogs run free on the yard so they can bite them lol. I don't think any Police officers would mind a crim getting a good hiding from a victim, saw it in Hamilton once while working outside a fruit n vege shop.
Some little bloodz shit heads come hauling arse out of the shop, I didn't quite catch on it time to help but not long afterwards the Indian owners came running after them. Now this wasn't Raj from the dairy these are the indian guys that also run the liquor store and spend most the time at the gym. Big fuckers!

Not long after a see a procession of people working their way back to me from round the corner, it went take 10 paces, kick, take another 10 paces, punch. They had caught them and were taking it in turns to give the little snots a good seeing to as they made their way back to the shop. They brought them back into the shop and 15mins or so later the Police arrived to take em away.
Lets hope it was a lesson learned. Either way I'd imagine the word got around the hood not to mess with that shop.

I have here somewhere a discussion about this by a psychiatrist. He worked part time at a major Brit prison but refused to drive there. Several car thieves were likely released every day and it was not uncommon for them to steal a car for the drive home.

When he asked why they didn't consider the inconvenience they caused, they just shrugged and told him that the owners had insurance.

I really need to start with saying I should (and do) know better.

On the net and up pops one of those 'story' front pages - Modern Family star takes picture with fan then realizes who it is. There is a picture of (Al Bundy guy) kneeling next to the torso of a curvy woman. I figure a one page lame story so click on it. Six pages of BS later I get bored and shut it down - I still have no idea who she was and by now don't give a shit.

I've fallen into this trap before with a juicy title, or something of interest (top 10 best cars springs to mind). The content each time is apparently written by a ten year old, full of BS and of no value to my life.

It pains me to think that this may be what some poor person ends up doing after getting a journalism degree.

Journalism as a topic is worthy of it's own rant as it is just what gets attention in a five minute period now days - heck it does not even need to be factual, just have a hint of something resembling a passing fact for it to be published.

I found a wallet on the road up in Hamner Springs some years back - I had my lad with me at the time who was saving up for a Playstation - the wallet contained drivers licence, credit cards etc etc plus over $400 in cash.

He passed comment that could buy a Playstation - fair point.

We handed it in to the local police station - they recorded my details and asked if they could be handed on to the thankful owner, then stated it was surprising to have wallets handed in with any cash in them.

All good someone got it back and their weekend was no doubt saved from the ruin it could have been.

The only thing that pissed me off was there was not one thank you at all from the owner. Cunt.

Similar thing happened to me, wallet got stolen, all cards, licence etc. I'll skip the part where the cops were totally uninterested in visiting the gas station where my paywave cards were used and the perps were on camera (the bank told me which gas station and provided the transaction info , the station manager looked at the security cam footage and agreed that the perps and their car could be identified but could not allow m to see it because of "privacy". )
Anyway, getting a new licence required a full birth certificate. That was the easiest part of the whole deal. Phone DIA, give them a few (easily) obtained family details, and its on the way. They were more concerned how I was going to pay for it.

Yeah, it is the fault of society that you lost your wallet. Mibbee someone thinks you're a cunt, and kicked it down a drain.
Mibbee you left it on the roof of your car, and it hasn't actually been seen at all.

That's a good policy. It took a while but I generally don't even consider them now: the Facebook ones, or those at the bottom of a newspaper web page.

Another minor annoyance is the teachers who post something on Facebook and request replies, presumably in the nature of a geography lesson. The sign they've made with the school name on it should also have a date so that you can identify what is current and what's not. If in doubt ignore.

I get about one inside the house each season. I've had some close calls though: there was one on my bath towel once, there was another on a toilet roll, and now this latest one.

My toilet roll peels from the side away from the wall, as I pulled at the paper I caught a small movement out of the corner of my eye. As the paper rolled forward the spider ran backward out of sight. The sky fell on it.

I spent 4 days in hospital earler this year due to a dog bite, tho the bite at 300psi fucked me they were mor worried about infection from the BITE

[Laava]

My wifes one was documented, mine wasn't. Also at around the same time there was a guuy in the news from Onerahi who lost his thumb to a white tail. Of course, I have no proof of that...

[husaberg]

I think you are more likely to get the flesh eating bacteria from the hospitial visit itself.

[pritch]

That item says they are easy to catch but other things I've read say that often the spider isn't seen. The little bastards can scoot. If one bit you while you were in bed, by the time you turned the light on it may well be gone.

And no, I hadn't left my trousers on the floor, they were on the drying rack in the sunporch, the little shit had made himself at home. I did shake one out of a pair of jeans I'd left on the floor once though.

Near Tarawera one day I watched a whitetail cross an expanse of concrete, every half a metre or so he'd jump up turning 180 degrees to check that there was nothing following him. I was just sitting still as he headed toward me, his mistake.

Discovered another one on the moped once at a stop sign, I was wearing gloves so just flicked him off. He turned ready to fight. Fatal.

It might have been Ruud the bug man, but somebody said bites early in the season can be less severe.

Friday yay!. Finish the day's walking between offices and head home on the bike. A stop to donate and sign the 'Grief Wall' at a local clothing dept. store because somehow I became eligible for this, and now I'm an eligible bachelor...FUCK Cancer!

A wee jaunt home and the engine is hot, so I undo the drain lug, drop the black oily stuff because it's time (4.30 PM Friday to be exact).
As it drains a dicker about to find the new gasket and filter, cleaning fluid, my sense of humour, and a cold beer. Flavour of day Monteiths Pills, not bad for a freebie ( payed with flybuys points).

As this machine is of Italian breed (because it says so on the tank) it has just a handful of sump holderoners to remove to access the sump filter and clean the crap outta there, easy enuf.
All 3 of the 10mm bolts removed without losing the 10mm socket, the fourth one doesn't exist thanks to some hamfisted previous owner (so that save time), it has never leaked and perhaps it is the loss of one bolt weight is the reason the bike flies?

Next off come the 14 allen screws also holding the sump to the motor...almost. The last one decides the key (male part) is stronger than the bolt head (female part) and makes it a truly female part in the shape of a hole.

Please do not read on if sensitive types. So out with the vice grips and a bit of gripping, tapping, and a helpful swear and the stuck bolt came loose enough to get the little shitte off.

Like I need tested after owning Meriden Triumphs for 43 years, pfft Guzzi.

Tomorrow's plan to find another bolt, tonight's plan see'n as all this bumpfing about has now taken me to 8 PM, its pizza and beer for T. :drinknsin


Update; found replacement bolt plus a spare $2 bucks at Blacks Fasteners, so that leaves me with just enough for a crate of beer (see'n as today is the day) :drinkup:

Most of you know I'm a total cunt. I hate people nearly as much as I hate myself. But I'm worse like this.

I was in my late 30s when I found out I had the mental. Till then, I spent life in a perpetual state of rage because everyone else seemed to be good at being a person and I couldn't do it. When I realised, there was a sense of relief beyond that of my kids being born healthy.

What the fuck do I do now though? I know what the problem is and what was working to fix it doesn't work anymore.

And to top it off, typing this hasn't helped in the fucking slightest.

Ps, you're all cunts

[AllanB]

Try some positive chants Drew. Love thyself and all that.

I'm assuming your body has decided that the dose you have been on is now the new normal and strayed back into the special zone.

No doubt some drug company has a alternative that will cost more and last another twelve months.

Try some positive chants Drew. Love thyself and all that.

[Grumph]

Drew...Take a sledgehammer to the GN you've been given. It's worth exactly the same as broken scrap as it is whole.

Working up a sweat on that POS will help....Natural endorphins are much better than the anti depressants.

[oldrider]

Here's a fucking rant for you cunts.

You and your family (parents and siblings that I know/knew) have so much love and affection within you - as demonstrated with your late foster brother.

It grieves me to think that this is a genuine cry for help and that at this moment there is nothing that I know of that I can do to help you.

Hang in there and try to fill your head with positive self talk and see if you can get some assistance to get you back on track.

Thoughts are with you, Cheers, John.

[Drew]

Not a cry for help. Just a vent.

[Autech]

Hang in there Drew. My limited understanding of drugs is they can go out of balance occasionally so the doctors have to make some adjustments then you will be back on track.

Agree with Grumph on the physical endorphins too, go for a long arsed run or smash up a GN. Hard to dwell when ya too knackered to lift ya arms or ya arse off the couch.

Ps, you're all cunts

Use of such language has been curbed with my bunch of friends so we now replace the C bomb with the word "Forkseal".
So anyone listening into bike conversations (Those who should be obeyed types) will be unsuspecting.

"My bikes forkseal leaks a lot". ….

"Yeah I got problems with those cunts too!".

Drew you're a good cunt for noticing and being honest. Go for a relaxing long ride, does wonders for the soul :scooter:

[Laava]

Heading south from Waipu a week ago there were three trucks heading up the Brynderwyns. As my mates and I caught up, and they got to the passing lane, the rear truck pulled over as if he was going to overtake. Both trucks at the back were from TDL transport carrying identical refrigerated containers. This pair of cunts just jockeyed with each other he entire length of the passing lanes, which are prob about 4 km at a guess? By the time we got to the last stretch, there was prob about twenty cars behind doing about 30kmh, and a cop car had caught up and had seen what these clowns were up to. So the pair of them got pulled and made our day, in fact, like anal sex, it made my whole week!

Yup, the snails are descending on Norfland, too.

"Why am I stuck in a queue of 30 vehicles doing 50kmh.... Oh, look, a Jucy camper at the front." :angry:

Oh well, tyre wear, brakes and fuel will be neglible for a couple of months..... <_<

On another, frustrating, note. Getting rid of carrier bags has destroyed my life. All the plastic packaging I used to put in them for recycling now blows down the street on collection day.......

And I just cannot remember to take my own bags into the shop... It's arse.

Paying to advertise a supermarket I don't like? Double arse.

I'm considering doing my shopping with the ride on and trailer, I can just cruise the aisles chucking my shopping in behind me.

While I'm at it. Why can't I drink beer while I suffer the torture of shopping? Pretty sure I would spend more money. It wouldn't be that expensive to put drinks holders on the trolleys.

[russd7]

. It wouldn't be that expensive to put drinks holders on the trolleys.

our local New World actually does have drinks holder on the trollies, pretty sure they would get pissy if I had a bottle of lion red in it tho, especially seen as they not allowed to sell LK Hole

Yup, the roads up Norf are a bit fucked at the moment with the annual "waste money on the roads by resealing shit that doesn't need it" approach. Stupidmarkets do fit drinks holders to the trolleys, but weirdos put coffee cups in them. WTF is that all about?

Motorcyclist, drunk twat, old biddy who should have had her licence revoked years ago, dad having driven the family non-stop for six hours on a hot day, truck driver reaching over for his sandwich, teenager texting a mate, my wife doing her make-up, someone having a heart attack or low blood sugar event, dude having a sneezing fit, mum trying to sort out her spewing kid in the back seat, someone looking at the view for a second. The list of potential people coming around the corner on the wrong side of the road is endless, and I haven’t even mentioned those lovely dollar laden tourists.

It is the reality of driving on our roads. It always has been the reality of driving on our roads and will remain the reality of driving on our roads at least for the rest of our lives.

Ride like it might happen and you might be able to avoid it. Sometimes you won’t. That’s life.

I'll tell you what annoys me. When reading a news story online that has a reference to some online social media post. It quotes the post in its entirety and then it has a screenshot of the very same thing so you have to read it twice. Why? It doesn't need repeating for fucks safe.

I noticed it this morning while having a shit and reading about Hilary Barry's thighs. Not something i have given much thought to before to be honest but it was the best looking story on Stuff. Mmmm, thighs. (https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/110443264/hilary-barry-shuts-down-bodyshaming-comment-about-her-thighs)

It happens on proper websites as well mind, like the BBC when they talk about Donald Trump. This isn't him, I was just looking for an orange man joke.

im working on a street in chch that has had a 4m wide cycle lane in it, it consumes the road to one lane and parking on one side... fuck its funny watching fucking cyclists they think they are god or better than as a construction site its sometimes is unhelpable not to temporary PART block the cycle lane ie impossible to manover a truck onto site... the abuse is ineradicable fuck me the dumb cunts could slow could ride on the foot path could ride on the ROAD... but no you gota see it to believe it in order to stay on the cycle lane they nearly crash they are fucked in the head...

yesterday a mum and two wee kids needed to cross the road 1st the berm then the rd then the cycle lane... kids are small slow so were still on the cycle lane when a fast bike get to them the dumb bitch did not slow did not ride around but held a line clipping the kid... what a cunt...

yip we are doomed our brains are dieing at a fast rate due to rules and regs...

That is retarded.

Civil engineers are fucking useless methinks. Our city infrastructures are bloody terrible in New Zealand, and only getting made worse by poorly thought out crap like that.

Don't worry though. After a few people get killed from cyclist collisions, laws will be updated to half of what they should be. At that, they'll be worded in such a piss poor fashion as to be ambiguous and useless.
