Argh! Doncha' hate it when someone moves your gear?

[gijoe1313]

Well this is a right howdy doo...

My olds have gone to China for a couple of weeks. All good and well, I dropped them off to the airport last night and didn't think much about it.

Until I went to use my little ol'hornet this morning. :scratch:

Had to hunt for my boots (funny, they weren't hiding under a big tarp outside in a box) and by now, running a little late to get to school briefing.

Where the hell are my frikk'n gloves!? :gob:

Hunted around and couldn't find them blardy anywheres! :angry2:

:slap: Arg. My dear caring parental unit obviously found a way to stop me riding for a little while... by hiding my gloves somewhere! :doh:

Sorry for the rant. Just had to get it off my chest since I am missing out on riding time :weep:

May have to go and buy some new gloves... :baby:

[sunhuntin]

if you dont find your gloves, leave your olds at the airport when they come back.

I may have to edit my sig quote to

Look in your boots.

If that doesn't work, I can loan you a pair.

OHHH thats it, Sell there house before they get back and move in with donor LOL :)

lol, as soon as I found them, I whipped them on ... and no gloves in them! May have to take you up on the loaner offer (XL?)

I'll have another good hunt around when I get back home today.... but riding without gloves is a no-no for me, after seeing what happened to my other pair when I binned in Raglan :sick:

[Ixion]

I've got a pair y' can borrow also. XL.

[Donor]

I also, have a spare pair...

Anyone else spot the irony of the number one toy gatherer NOT having spare gloves? :lol:

[90s]

Jeez, it is so tough being looked after and having people help tidy up for you.
One place to look for your gloves might be in that house they provide for you. They might be under piles of stuff they have bought for you. (Did they buy the gloves or bike - won't even go there!)

Yes, yes I'm sure you bought your own bike etc.
Hey, I'm not even a parent and I feel compulsed to put this comment!
You must get these urges when your waist passes a certain circumference?
Or maybe when the hair recedes to cover less than 1/2 of the original surface area?
Maybe it could be if you subtract the age of the poster from your age and the result is greater than the age of the poster something hormonal kicks in?

Parents sure suck! Lol

:rolleyes: I reckon he's got that one well figured out - just round the corner from National Super and still living at home:2thumbsup

[Swoop]

Did your folks leave credit cards or credit card numbers laying around...

NEW GLUBS and gear time!!!

[tri boy]

Know the feeling. Instant blood pressure rise.:mad:
Gloves, Wallet, Sunnies, etc
All items that should never walk.
Helpful "Tidyupppera's", (one for you Hitcher), are beasts from hell.

[xwhatsit]

I'd offer you your brother's old ones back, but I told you what happened to them! :o:o:o I don't think it's mice :lol:, I think that they've gone hard and cracked where the leather is really thin and worn. Teach me for leaving them in the cold, cold, windy garage all winter :cold:.

I too find it hard to believe that you of all people don't have eight more pairs of gloves in eight different colours and textures!

[gijoe1313]

Found them.

Good ol'mum left them propped up on the couch... and they promptly fell down the back. :doh:

Did a big hunt around, and stopped, sat on the couch and had a little think...

"If I was a well meaning mum where would I leave the gloves?" sort of thing.

:eek:

Light clicked on. And I looked over the back of the couch I was sitting at ...

And bingo.

Gloves had fallen down the back! :rofl:

The thing is, I had them outside airing - dear ol'mum just thought "they wouldn't be safe" there I gather and brought them in. Without telling me :lol:

Alls well and good. And oh yeah, mum did warn me about not inviting any girls home where they were away ... I had to invite girls home :o :scratch:

Ah, being asian has its funny idiosyncracies!

Right. Time for a ride.

Actually, I tidy the house and help out in the family business .. being asian and all, and unmarried :lol: When I was moving back to South Auckland from living over the shore, my ma said "move back in with us son, your old room is still there.." :sweatdrop

In this topsy-turvy world of asian affairs, the scary thing is this was "endearing" to unattached asian ladies who were looking for an eligible bachelor :gob:

[mstriumph]

your GLOVES are ASIAN ??? :blink:

[gijoe1313]

your GLOVES are ASIAN ??? :blink:

I guess that makes them so! The smell of takeaway cooking and being used to pick up bags of rice and vegetables at times means they are part of the family!

Aiyaah!

I was airing them out from the smell of sweet and sour that splashed on them from the barrel when I was moving it (I pop in time from time and end up doing odd jobs... whilst wearing the gear) :2thumbsup

I often wonder why Donor sometimes has a hungry look on his face when I am around... must be all the chow mein and fried fish he smells on me!

[Swoop]

Hey, you're good!!
Do you have any idea where my bungee straps for the back of my bike are? I lost them around home somewhere...

Oh Knowledgeable One.:not:

[NighthawkNZ]

Where the hell are my frikk'n gloves!? :gob:

Same place as my jersary, sox, keys, and what ever else I have lost over the years...

God I hope its the gear and not something else :)

The problem eating an asian is... half a hour later, you get peckish for another.. :rolleyes:

The next door neighbour's kids are using them as a slingshot for their flour and water bomb wars...

Oh don't I know that :lol:

Wicked. You got glubs. I want to go for a ride but I don't want to tempt fate with my rather dodgy clutch cable.

Or do I?
