    The Blairs return from the South Island

    ..
    .
    Arrived back from a wonderful three week South Island trip last night on the 7.00pm Lynx.

    Did around 5,500kms and met some KBer's - some by arrangement, some by fluke.....Zapf, Jantar, Rider-in-Black, Scumdog, Slim et al, Bugsplat, Mr and Mrs Hitcher, Manuboy, Kickaha, Biff Baff. Apologies if I've forgotten to include anyone (the old brain cells are in "oh shit, not work tomorrow" mode).

    Will do a bit of a write up as time permits.

    So the trip lived up to the level of your gloating at Pukekohe, Lynda? Look forward to the write-up.

    Welcome back!!!
    You were missed on Saturday night; poor Cathy had to get up and do the 'We all met on the internet, folks' speech... but it just wasn't the same. Joni and I wore red in your honour. We'll have to have another night soon!

    There Is No Escape

    The South Is Blair Witch Project.

    There is no escaping for KB'er from the Blair See the evidence.

    Blair does the gavel (see the "Dirty Duke" Pics).

    She'll find you anywhere (see "Jatar & RIB caught by the Blair" & "Bugsplat & RIB caught by the Blair again").

    Beware KB'ers she could be coming to a place near you soon

    Hehe, she's like that.

    We've missed her, and it will be great to have her back to insult, err, challenge my hard won sense of humour.

    OT - which one of you guys has the BMW helmet? I'm coming up to a Boots and Helmet refresh, and everything I've read about the BMW's suggests they are brilliant? Anyone wanna do a review before I spend readies (it's all about me remember)?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Review of BMW helmets: "The bastards don't make them big enough. I would have thought that if one was looking to cover a big scone, Bavaria would have been the one place in the world it could be done. But no. Alas, alack. Shoei rules!!"
