Boring stuff about your boring life.

  1. ACC - Sing Us A Song

    by , 16th December 2009 at 21:53 (Motorcycling and An Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD))
    Change in society over the centuries witnesses, more often than not discontent, particularly the internal bickering that does arise……
    Where To From Here?

    For some there is abject acceptance of the recently increased ACC levy.

    And, for others, there is the projected annoyance at the levy, and projected annoyance may be the ongoing characteristic and action.

    For some others there is the reality that within the overall makeup of ACC, there ...

  2. My Christmas Wish

    I want nothing for myself other than to be chatting with you all this time next year.

    If you are driving or riding never drive/ride faster than your angels can cary you.

    P.S

    If you love music and sad things please watch the attached ad. Its an Aussie one but the message is universal.

  3. So close ...

    Sunday started off far too early. The wife went to church and I had to drive her. After that I couldn't sleep again so I got into some breakfast and sat down with to watch the Bruce Willis flick called Surrogates. Movie was ok, Rosamund Pike was better than ok. She really is a honey. A little quirky looking but that's part of her charm. Anyway, I was too busy setting up the cheap laptop I picked up to be too interested in the movie. It's a $100, you-didn't-get-it-from-me jobbie I didn't-get off ...
  4. Progress ...

    So Thursday night I cruised around to Brent's place so that we could continue putting Trini back together.

    I shot home from work, having bailed from the buildings Christmas bbq before I got snotted (it was hot and the beer was free and there's some cute chicks that work in this building). I just grabbed some long pants, socks etc because it'd get cold later on and I always end up being a smorgasboard for the local Mosquitos. Left there and shot around to pick up the oil that was waiting ...
  5. hello to all

    Hi all

    I have just got my L plates so thought I would put a quick hello out to all the people around. Although started a little late, I have enjoy my early mid life crisis (I’m in my early 30ish).

    Just sat my BHS test up in Albany on Sunday. Was a pretty full on couple of hours, especially where the only riding experience I had was a quad and a long time ago. But after getting use to the clutch and not turning the handle bars so much (dang quads). I was away. Now sure ...

  6. IntraLase LASIK (aka, laser eye surgery)

    I had my eyes lasered yesterday (3/12/2009) to correct my short sighted vision (myopia). I had an astigmatism and both my eyes were around -4.

    I decided to get it done mostly because of my motorcycling. I can't wear contact lenses on a track, because the forces keep pulling them off the centre of my eyeballs, leaving me blinded for 30 to 45 second or so. Have you tried approaching a corner, braking hard, and then almost loosing all vision? You have to do the rest of the corner ...

  8. GST and ACC

    by , 2nd December 2009 at 11:48 (Motorcycling and An Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD))
    In my blogg I commented:

    ACC is but a thorn in the side of progress. Of itself, philosophically it is a nappy, in the real world it is a crutch. There are better ways of providing compensation, it is up to the people of the day, not yesterday, to create a system.
    How that is done is a task entrusted to many governments of the day over many years.

    Am I correct in saying GST was introduced after ACC?

    So since the introduction of GST governments ...
