    Optimistic sellers

    Thread Starter: Rcktfsh

    This trader must be pretty hard to outdo as far as optimism goes. Bike has been on the market for a year now, wonder when the penny will drop he''s dreaming at that price. You'd have thought after a year he might have got round to the little bit of tlc required to get running. ...

    With only 2 days until the new year, and just over 2 months until the season starts it's time for a new thread. Who's your money on? Will Bagnia do the triple? Will Marc return to former glory and bring us a season in which he dominates? Will Martin secure his dream to win a championship?...

    Unopened brake fluid shelf life?

    Thread Starter: SaferRides

    Pretty much what the thread title says. There is a variety of opinions for opened containers, but little info on how long you should keep unopened fluid. I have some that was made in 10/2017 and am hesitant to use it.

    Psychology of road safety

    Thread Starter: rastuscat

    For those who have too much time on their hands. Interesting thoughts on road safety. And the arguments as to why driver education isn't the golden egg it's made out to be. Pete

      I like it.

      As I posted in the PIES thread:

      So according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_Day today is International Pi-e day, I nominate that we do a Southern Hemisphere Pi-e day on July 22 (22/7) as it is a more accurate approximation of the mathematical number, but also a half decent excuse to visit the bakery (if such a thing was required).

      Are any food tips eg: shops with good pies, beer reviews etc, are these available to those who are only a bit fat?

      I just lost some weight, and I'm feeling insecure, as you can well imagine, but I'm still an XL, if that improves my eligibility.

      In Queen St $5 lamb or chicken on rice with salad and humus or a kebab, normally $10!. Henderson shops sit down Indian curry, not bad and only $5. I'm willing to share....

      Don't panic, I found it.

      The vibe I pick up is all good food tips are welcomed.

      Oh you are so right an on a winner with the lovely Kebab. I'm a solid starter for that on Queen. Going to let you in on a secret...Kebabs on queen do that deal, opposite Civic theatre down from St james. Further up the Street , same side of the road next to the sandwhich joint is another place doing the same deal. Sniffed that one out when the other was standing room only packed. Nothing should delay the food beyond reason!

      As part of the Southern Cross I undertook the sampling of a number of pies from around the country. A couple of forgettable service station ones but the Venison pie I had in Riverton was particularly good!

      I'm pretty sure it was this place (well this building). Can't remember the signage about it being a lolly shop so it must have changed into a pie-providing cafe since Goggle went through the deep South.
