Biker Down (Mar 13th) - Harbour Bridge South Bound

[placidfemme]

Biker down this morning on the Habour Bridge southbound. Approx 9.30am-ish.

The bike looked like an older model Honda either a CBR 250/400 or VFR400. Mainly white with a dark tinted screen.

Male rider. Rider seemed ok, was up and walking around talking to the tow truck driver and the police... another cop on a bike was talking to a young guy in a boy racer looking car, not sure who was in the wrong.

Hope your ok buddy

[Chisanga]

I had a mental image of a biker falling off the bridge after being shunted off their bike.

Glad they are ok :)

[BNZ]

Heading up or down the bridge? Heading down the bridge, in the wet, in traffic can be sketchy if you need to brake near one of the big metal joins.... Good fun headin up the bridge in the wet though.... wrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzz

Heading up the bridge. On the left hand side in lane 2, the bike and car and cops etc where in the medium lane between lane 2 and 3 (Lane two is on the outside of the bridge and lane 3 on the inside if that makes sense). Not sure if thats where the accident happened but thats where they were all parked up.

[Macktheknife]

Bugger, hope whoever it is, they're ok.

[ManDownUnder]

It's one of us... and it sounds like they're ok. Possible broken thumb (hearsay at this point).

I'll leave it to them to volunteer any additional details.

[Kittyhawk]

Fingers crossed the damage on the bike isnt too bad. As for the rider....get well soon.

[Morcs]

It hurts.

Bike is buggered.

Ive been better.

Insurance may be a nasty point, being on a 4 hundy and all...

car just changed lanes right into my path, pushed me off the road and onto my left side. I counted that I did 7 somersaults...

[ManDownUnder]

It hurts.

How's the hand dude? What's actually wrong?

[Morcs]

finger nail ripped off and a lot of lost skin. Knee is pretty bad, too some previous scar tissue off...

[Morcs]

oh and im now serious concussed...:mellow:

my vision is pretty buggered...

[bugjuice]

how about get offline and lay down, if not go to A&E for a check up (this helps for ACC too)

[Kittyhawk]

I think it would be wise to get checked out...just for peace of mind...think of those hot nurses who will be there??

[klingon]

oh and im now serious concussed...:mellow:

my vision is pretty buggered...

Definitely get checked out (if you haven't already). Often it's not until the adrenaline wears off that you realise how sore you are and if you need any physio etc later, need to make sure all the ACC requirements are fulfilled.

Glad to hear you're (relatively) ok. That fingernail's going to look spectacular for a while.

[Morcs]

Nah she'l be alrite. Just concussion.

[Swoop]

finger nail ripped off and a lot of lost skin. Knee is pretty bad, too some previous scar tissue off...

Yup, get off of here and get sorted properly.

What type of gloves were you wearing to lose a fingernail?

[Kittyhawk]

Im off to go pick Morcs up and take him in....even if it means I have to use my whips and chains....

[Morcs]

Yup, get off of here and get sorted properly.

What type of gloves were you wearing to lose a fingernail?

brand new pair of technics...

[BNZ]

Nah she'l be alrite. Just concussion.

I had that theory last week after some fat fucker from TAXIS UNITED ran up the back of my car on market road. Two days later I was in hostpital in agony and vomiting. Good old delayed concussion... Go to A & E dude, they will get you sorted with some physio... Mmmm

[James Deuce]

Nah she'l be alrite. Just concussion.

Just to state the obvious (though no one gives a shit in NZ because it's a common rugby injury therefore you are soft to complain about it) concussion is just about the worst injury you can get. There are all sorts of repercussions to not getting checked out, and what feels mild today may be death tomorrow.

You somersaulted 7 times. Your brain may be dropping into your spinal column. It's called "coning". It's almost always fatal if not dealt with immediately.

Do not fight with Kittyhawk when she turns, up go to the hospital.

[Hans]

All I can say is: They are right. Dude, you need to go. Concussion can be a sneaky bitch.

[imdying]

Im off to go pick Morcs up and take him in....even if it means I have to use my whips and chains....

Go to A & E dude, they will get you sorted with some physio... Mmmm

concussion is just about the worst injury you can get. There are all sorts of repercussions to not getting checked out, and what feels mild today may be death tomorrow.Don't ignore this mate, it's all true :no:

[Pumba]

....even if it means I have to use my whips and chains....

Just make sure you get videos if your going to that extent:dodge:

[Morcs]

Points taken. I hurt pretty bad now. I wont dare fight with Kitty...

[bugjuice]

and no one likes a pointless hero
rest easy dude, take advice, an chill for a bit. fight for tomorrow mate

[Hans]

Good man. Give one to the nurses for meeeeee....

[gijoe1313]

Crikey! Glad to hear you are "okay" :no: Sounds like it could have been a helluva lot worst than that - good to hear you are taking heed of the good advice and getting your arse into A&E.

Worry about the bike later and get yourself sorted right first! Remember not to have too much fun with the droogs when they give them to you! :yes:

[Mr Merde]

Im off to go pick Morcs up and take him in....even if it means I have to use my whips and chains....


So all I need to do is fall off the bike, Mmmmmmm, whips and chains!!!!

[Morcs]

Cop shop just called.

The driver at fault was a female dutch tourist covered by backpackers insurance...?

I just found out i bounced off the back off a porshce 966 aswell...

Not having a great day.

Kitty should be here soon hopefully.

[avgas]

Good on ya man - if ya need anything get my number off Kitty.
Cheer up too aye - its only a bike.
Stew

[avgas]

Good man. Give one to the nurses for meeeeee....

Ahhh yes. Go to auckland central - student nurses there.

[Swoop]

Cheer up too aye - its only a bike.
Where is my red rep gun!!!:angry:
IT'S A VFR, DAMMIT!!!!!!!

I'm guessing Morcs no longer has a membership?

[Swoop]

I'm guessing Morcs no longer has a membership?
He bloody well better!

Concussion will be the least of his problems when WE are finished with him!

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[placidfemme]

Hey Morcs... Glad to hear your doing semi-ok... Get checked out then take it easy...

Was the chick who hit you in that blue car parked infront of the tow truck? Looked like a guy in the drivers seat... oh well...

[Squeak the Rat]

Nah she'l be alrite. Just concussion.

Sounds like you're already taking the advice, but definitely get it checked. At the very least it gets recorded as acc in case anything worsens in the long run.

Hope everything checks out ok. Take the quacks advice and rest up.

Congrats on hitting a porsche.

[Lteejay]

A porsche? Well at least it was with style. Hope your OK Morcs

[avgas]

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Except Peru

[Guitana]

Hard Luck Bro at least you landed on an expensive cushion (porsche).
Take Jim2's advice I had a serious off and could'nt remember my name etc.
I had some fluid running out of my ears and the ambo's said I would have a headache for a while I got taken home by the fuzz as I could'nt remember who I was the cops had to do a trace on my plates!!
I remember standing in the kitchen talking to my flat mate who was having a good laugh at my expense and woke up two days later in wellywood hospital!
The doctor told me the fluid that was running out of my ears was Spinal fluid!!
When I hit the road at high speed Head first I compressed my spine and it was like punching the base of my brain causing it to swell!!!
I've been fucked up eversince!!!!!!
Head injuries are deadly serious don't try to be a hard man!!!
Enjoy the time off work and give the nurses a hard time (they love it!).

[earthbound misfit]

Bummer about your accident, but at least you are in one piece, and bummer about your bike too.
If you include Indy thats kind of two riders out of action in one week,

Chin up and take care

Mandy

yea, but mine was my own dumb fault :shutup:

Hope you get better soon Morc :)

and a Porsche?

Well I like did my speed, you did your crash. If you're gonna do something you might aswel do it right lol :scooter:

-Indy

[yungatart]

Oh man! Not good, sorry to hear of your off! I hope you are resting up now, as others have said - concussion can be serious, fatal even!
Heal well.

[Disco Dan]

Flipping eck morcs... hope ya ok dude...

[tide]

Hey dude sorry to hear about your off... rest up and take it easy...

[klingon]

I had some fluid running out of my ears and the ambo's said I would have a headache for a while I got taken home by the fuzz as I could'nt remember who I was the cops had to do a trace on my plates!!

Good grief! How did the ambos ever let you go home in that state?! That sounds like a classic case of "get him to hospital NOW!"

If you've had a bump on the head, always get it checked out. It's often the swelling that does the damage, and you need to be kept under constant watch until everything's stable.

I hope Morcs isn't reading this, because he should be off having a checkup! :nono:

[Scorpygirl]

Hi Morcs...hope you are now resting up and have someone to look out for you over the next 24 hours. Yip as others have said it's not "just" concussion and I am glad KittyHawk was able to come and get you to A&E. Take care please and all the best. :hug:

[WickedOne]

Shit mate, sorry to hear about your bin. Hope all turns out well for you......

[Drum]

Blimey, a Porsche - and dodgy insurance!

Heal up quick Morcs.

[Shadows]

Yep, just to add more weight to the concussion thing, always get medical advice. A mate of mine had a bit of a tussle a while back, then went to bed after telling everybody "she'll be right" and refusing to go and get checked out. He never woke up.

[Blondini]

And be wary of future headaches they could be an early warning to get rechecked. I hope you are ok morcs

[Theatre]

Bugger mate, rotten luck. Good luck with the checkup, 7 somersaults is definitely hospital time!

[Big Dog]

Some things that should be common knowledge but that are often neglected even by medical proffesionals.

Alcohol can cause swelling and ireperable damage for about three months after all other symptoms are long gone.

CRT screens or LCDs set to low refresh rates can trigger epileptic seizures in otherwise not prone people while head aches persist.

Balance can be unreliable, especially during a head ache or bright lights.
Check with a professional AND your insurance company before resuming riding if you do not want to end up with a medical advice not to ride after another accident,

If you experience light sensitivity beyond about a week see another doctor.

Narcotics can make your symptoms permanant.

Drink plenty of water, you may not be able to tell when you are being dehydrated and dehydration can cause brain swelling.

Limit your intake of water to less than 600ml of water as your body may not know when it can no longer process the water (you guessed it ) leading to brain swelling.

Limit caffeine.

Do not take any pharmaceuticals without checking with a pharmacist.

*****I am not a medical professional if one disagrees with any of the above listen to them not me. These are just the things I can remember from my last concussion.*****


On second thought Morcs should not read this, can someone pass this on to him?

[Mom]

Im off to go pick Morcs up and take him in....even if it means I have to use my whips and chains....

Thats a great attitude! Let us know how you got along eh? I worry when I read stuff like this and then no updates....Thanks Kitty!!! top girl!!!!


Points taken.

Mate, hope you are under medical supervision, or discharged from same with some mates to keep a watch.........like others have said here, dont underestimate a head knock, shit, in the olden days when I nursed you used to be 24/7 watched in hospital after a head knock, take care eh, hope the really ouchy bits heal fast and the noggin has not taken too much of a beating.

[klingon]

Thanks for that info, Speedie. My original comments were in response to Guitana (who had fluid coming out of his ears and couldn't remember his name! :shit: )

But yeah it seems really common for bikers to be more worried about their bike than their brains! My sister came off her bike a few years ago and got concussion. The ambos tried to take her to hospital but she refused to leave her bike. I was so mad when she told me that! But now I have a bike of my own I kind of understand...

Maybe in a case like this it's a good idea for a passing biker to stop and offer to make sure the bike gets to somewhere safe, so the injured person can go off and get checked up with one less thing to worry about. Of course you'd have to be as good as your word and actually look after the bike. Supervise the towie as if it was your bike he's loading!

[Kittyhawk]

Heya guys, just a quick update....Morcs seems to be in cheerful spirit and was asking when he can go for a blat next lol......his left thumb is all bandaged up due to loosing his nail and he has a little road rash...nothing too serious there.

As for the headaches, he just needs to rest up and take it easy for a couple of days. (I'll try my best to make sure he does just that!!)

Saw the bike today, it dosen't start, bit of cosmetic damage here and there but it happens. Fingers crossed it will fire up again after the mechanics look at it.

He's all smiles still and its nice to see him in good spirits after a bugger of a day.

[James Deuce]

You do good work Kitty. Thanks for the update and pass on our regards to morcs.

[Kittyhawk]

You do good work Kitty. Thanks for the update and pass on our regards to morcs.





I'll pass the message on.Thanks...he was moaning about not making the news on tv tonight...but is happy he made KB news lol.....Hes been tenderised and is limping a little but all is good.

I'll go see him tomorrow and play the nurse role.....spose I should go buy another costume :shutup:

[Blondini]

Have to agree :yes: good on you kitty for doing the sensible thing.

[paveho]

Hey Morcs, sorry to hear the bad news, but pleased to hear that all is not too serious. Hope to see you back out there soon.

[Disco Dan]

...he was moaning about not making the news on tv tonight...
:scratch: :scratch: lol


I'll go see him tomorrow and play the nurse role.....spose I should go buy another costume :shutup:

:doctor: im sure he'll enjoy that.... :innocent:

I got no way of getting there so will try and get over there near the end of the week..

[tide]

I'll go see him tomorrow and play the nurse role.....spose I should go buy another costume :shutup:

Oi... he needs rest and relaxation no need to get him all excited :dodge:

just kidding... tell him to heal well

[Kittyhawk]

Disco - I'll pick you up...if we get lost on the way to Morcs, we can call it a road trip!! Will confirm tonight.

Tide - Me get him excited......haha....yea right!

[Macktheknife]

Glad you are basically ok Morcs,
Take care of yourself mate and give me a yell when you are feeling better.

[imdying]

CRT screens or LCDs set to low refresh rates can trigger epileptic seizures in otherwise not prone people while head aches persist.An LCD you reckon?

[Disco Dan]

An LCD you reckon?

if you blink really fast... :innocent:

[Kittyhawk]

I didnt get to see Morcs today, but got a txt saying he's sore but resting up. Probably feels like he's been tenderised and its caught up with him after bouncing off the porshe and road.

Im glad he's ok.

[Big Dog]

An LCD you reckon?
If the refresh is low enough or the brand sufficiently bad.

[Squeak the Rat]

Orson calling Morcs, orson calling morcs.

Any one know how he's going? Just checking that all is ok.....

[crashe]

Orson calling Morcs, orson calling morcs.

Na nu, na nu (holding up hand with the mork hand code)

Nope not heard a word......



Come in Morc's and talk to us.

[imdying]

If the refresh is low enough or the brand sufficiently bad.Even so, how exactly would trigger a reaction? They can't flicker, no matter what indo chinese muppet made it. Refresh rate is almost a misnomer on an LCD of course... almost every LCD I've ever seen was run at its minimum refresh rate (generally 60hz).

[Disco Dan]

Morcs has no internet where he is. Also, due to the concussion has dificulty reading text on computer screen...

Saw him on wed, sore but happy.

[Big Dog]

Being epileptic I feel queasy when presented with 60.

[okeh]

LCD's don't flicker. You cant adjust their refresh rate... Windows might let you try and do it but it wont make any difference. LCDs refresh a pixel as it needs to change color. The response time of a LCD is measured in milliseconds and that measures the time it takes for 1 pixel to change from white to completely black or vice versa.CRT's refresh the whole screen, the reason you get sore eyes is because your eyes refresh at about 70hz. So with a screen at 60hz your eyes notice the flicker and give you a headache.

So with a screen at 60hz your eyes notice the flicker and give you a headache.

I hate to contradict you but all LCD screens flicker - it is a fundamental consequence of their technology. However it isn't due to the refresh rate.

There's a really good explanation of this at http://www.techmind.org/lcd/



In liquid crystal pixel cells, it is only the magnitude of the applied voltage which determines the light transmission (the transmission vs. voltage function is symmetrical about 0V). To prevent polarisation (and rapid permanent damage) of the liquid crystal material, the polarity of the cell voltage is reversed on alternate video frames. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get exactly the same voltage on the cell in both polarities, so the pixel-cell brightness will tend to flicker to some extent at half the frame-rate. If the polarity of the whole screen were inverted at once then the flicker would be highly objectionable. Instead, it is usual to have the polarity of nearby pixels in anti-phase, thus cancelling out the flicker over areas of any significant size. In this way the flicker can be made imperceptible for most "natural" images.

[Morcs]

Well im OK, looking at a computer screen aint doing my head the world at good... but somehow got to work for the next 7 days...

Anyways im walking well, use of my thumb is still restricted, so physically all ok.

I was naughty and took my 250 out for a wee spin last night... just before i sold it. didnt feel right.

Anyways thanks for all the support and kind comments.

And i would like to publicly thank Kitty, what a legend :)

[James Deuce]

Nice to see you Morcs - now get the fuck off the computer, don't read anything and get time off work. Post-concussion syndrome can make you bed ridden for 3 months, and that is from my personal experience of going back to work too soon after a concussion.

ACC will cover you so you'll get 80% of your wages and your employer doesn't have to stump anything up for you being off work.

Get the fuck off the computer, don't read, and don't watch telly. Just chill and think about how cool it will be to go for a ride when you're better, or fantasise about scoring with some twins, or something. Just don't engage eyes and brain too much.

Yes, Kittyhawk is a legend.

[Disco Dan]

yeas I second that...

I hope your not back at work allready....... :gob:

Get on the phone to ACC.... now!

If you need your riding fix gimme a holla... you know I luv taking pillions! :innocent:

[Morcs]

Problem is I just dont have the staff to cover. there is feck all i can do. I have to work up until wednesday at least.

[Disco Dan]

Problem is I just dont have the staff to cover. there is feck all i can do. I have to work up until wednesday at least.

Who gives a Sh*t about work and cover... not your problem. your not fit to work. simple. Make it someone elses' problem.

Dont play the marter, just stay home.

[James Deuce]

As DD says, it just doesn't matter, it is only a job. If you leave, no one remembers you the day after you've gone, because the work still needs to be done and you're not there doing it. No one is indispensable.

Your long term health is vastly more important and "work" is at the bottom of the list of things that you can justifiably risk your health for.

[Hans]

IMHO it's you and good mates, like Kitty, who should take priority over work and the boss. Not just in your case - in general. Ask yourself if your boss has any right to your health. I don't fucking think so. Hence do YOURSELF a favour and stay at home dude.

[Ixion]

Problem is I just dont have the staff to cover. there is feck all i can do. I have to work up until wednesday at least.

So, what would have happened had you been more seriously injured and been admitted to the Hospital ?

Has a doctor signed you off as fit to return to work? If not you should not be there. Moreover, you are doing your employer no favours by doing so, since you expose them to quite serious charges under Health and safety andACC legislation.

[Morcs]

Im more concerned with the insurance side of things - something that cannot wait.

Heres the state of play:

Dutch backpacker lady (has 3rd party insurance) runs me off the road. She is denying responsibility and not putting in a claim. She claims she is going back to holland on monday.

Backpackers motor insurance refused to chase up there client, suggesting i do it.

Police and witness prove im not at fault.

I had a long conversation with Dave at Kiwibike (what a legend) and he suggested i do a VIR check on the vehicle, i checked it and the dutch woman sold her car today (was hoping she was lending it, then i could claim off the owner).

I cant get hold of the dutch woman, the police, or the insurance company.

Im buggered and im sure it wont be long before i go on the rampage with a 308 to resolve the situation diplomatically...:angry:

[Hans]

Try talking to the cops, whether they are considering charges. PM Scumdog, or someone. Ask the cops, whether they are willing to just let her go as she is obviously not fronting up. Might be complte bollocks, but that's what I'd try.

[Morcs]

She shouldnt be allowed to leave the country in my opinion. She just sold her car so she can give me the proceeds from that. Then fuck off back to Holland.

[Disco Dan]

Do you have the address of the Dutch woman?

If you do... go to her address and demand some answers.

Talk to cops, they should be able to advise you on what to do re insurance/dutch woman.

You need to do this before monday, which makes things tricky but not impossible...

ring EVERYONE involved and make sure that they all know exactly what the situation is. - to cover your arse.

[Grub]

I agree with Hans, I'm sure there are laws against leaving the country with charges pending

[Disco Dan]

I agree with Hans, I'm sure there are laws against leaving the country with charges pending

has she actually been charged?

[Grub]

Good point.

Maybe if the cops hear that she is trying to skip the country, they will make it happen

[Morcs]

Well ive been trying to find out all these things - but i cant get hold of anyone, and ive tried many times today already.

The only address i and the police have for the dutch woman (who was quite hot if i remember correctly) is her address in Holland. I mean, what farking use is that?

:Stressing: :shit:

[Disco Dan]

How much money are we talking about here? damages etc?

Did you not get her details when you were waithing on the ground? :shutup:

Someone that was involved must know her details... she would not have been allowed to leave the scene without making a statement - ring cops till they answer!

[Morcs]

Yes i have heaps of details, a whole a4 page of absolutely everything from the scene. but no NZ address for the dutch tourist...

Talking about $2k in repairs if i were to do it, if a shop were to price the repairs up then i have no doubt that the insurance company would write it off.

Dave at Kiwibike is trying to source another written off vfr for me to rape for parts... :)

not sure what else can be done... if it was me, id ring every number on the page over and over until some answered and started giving me some answers... :angry:

[Morcs]

I went through this for a whole 3 months, on the phone every day to all parties for the whole 3 months. it sucked. im getting insurance as soon as im back on the road...

In the meantime i might speak to a solicitor...

[Highlander]

It hurts.

Bike is buggered.

Ive been better.

Insurance may be a nasty point, being on a 4 hundy and all...

car just changed lanes right into my path, pushed me off the road and onto my left side. I counted that I did 7 somersaults...

Unless your situation has changed (you imply you know you are riding outside of your licence conditions) there would be little point in getting insurance as I would expect they won't pay out.

[Morcs]

Unless your situation has changed (you imply you know you are riding outside of your licence conditions) there would be little point in getting insurance as I would expect they won't pay out.

Aha, yes true. But i also plan on getting an excemption soon aswell. apparently it is very easy for those over 6ft tall.

[Highlander]

That would make all the difference.

No need to GIVE them reasons to decline your claim :msn-wink:

[Morcs]

though it is irrelevant - Section 11 of the insurance law reform act says its all good :D

[Morcs]

I am well aware of this, i tried getting retrospective insurance, but that didnt work either. Dave at Kiwibike advised to get an excemption asap. He seems to know what he is talking about with these issues.

[Hans]

Keep trying to get hold of the cops. I believe that in this situation any cops you can get hold of could be useful e.g. local cop shop. The issue to raise with them is not the accident itself but the fact that the woman's trying to do a runner w/out getting involved in what she fucked up. That might get them interested.

[imdying]

Staking out the airport and stab her is sounding better and better all the time.

If you get no joy by Sunday night: Ring customs describe her, tell them that you overheard her talking in a cafe, about carrying a few grams of coke in a condom up her ass. Hopefully if nothing else, they'll go looking for her (and the coke) :yes:

[KLOWN]

can you not see the new owner of the car and ask where she bought it from, or check the ownership details, I thought it took at least a week before the new owners address came up in the system and you could still get the old address. also her insurers must know her address or something. If she is leaving country on monday go to her home (if you can get her address) and make sure she can't leave. She will have to call the cops to make you leave her alone then tell the cops whats up.

[Morcs]

Ive decided to chill out for the day. I will try ringing her once today.

Then tomorrow i will be marching in to the insurance companys auckland office and verbally kick the shit out oef them until they do what i want.

[Macktheknife]

Notify the police that she is trying to flee the country before charges can be laid. then call the airport and speak to the customs guys there, maybe they can help maybe not, but it is worth a call.

[Kittyhawk]

If you have the number plate of the car, then go to the post shop and get the owner details that way...Im not sure if they still release them but that too is also worth a try.

As for working....if it means I have to tie you down to a bed, and sit there reading you stories till you fall asleep I'll do it!!

Dont worry about work....get your health back up and running then get back into it....at this stage RELAX!

If she gets out of the country and nothing is done you will be left high and dry holding the bill, and she will probably, literally, be laughing all the way home.
If she was at fault I'd be camping at the police station until I got satisfaction.

I got sent a piece of paper with details of my accident on it.
The other person's insurance company paid $55 for the police report.
I rung the police to be told I too would have to pay to get a copy of it.
Guess what, that same piece of paper that was sent to me from the Hendrson police was the same paper, the other insurance company received.
How do I know this, cos they faxed that copy to my insurance company.
And no my insurance company did NOT put any money towards it either, as they did it off their own back... :whistle:

So I ended up getting my copy for FREE.

Mate, I know it's basically none of my business, so you can tell me to fuck off anytime you want. But:

There is no way you should have to pay the police twice. You are already paying them from your taxes. This is a matter supposedly under investigation, with charges possibly pending. /whether the bitch is in the country is irrelevant/
If you want I will write a fairly solid letter for you to use. I have dealt with bureaucrats for a living. If this bitch was insured, then you will be able to get it out of her insurance company. If you leave it as it is, not only will you get Assfked, but you will be setting another precedent telling these cunts, that they can treat anyone like this. And this is one of the reasons it's getting so fucked up over here. Because people will not stand up. PM me if you want to write something to put these "gentlemen" back in line a bit.
