    I don't clog the byways and stop the flow of other traffic by sheer volume either. Or cause parking congestion.

    OK, I do make a racket too, but that's hardly impacting the freeway environment.
    I was hoping you'd say that.
    I know that whenever I ride, the birds accompany me singing sweet tunes, my halo dazzles other road users and I have the most wonderful feeling of being at one with the universe.

    That 'son of talley' wot was on da box a while back looked a dead nasty type... Bottom trawling is good... ha! Who for? Not me matey!
    I worked on a trawler as a engineer for a while have seen the damage
    bottom trawling does,have seen a 70 ton bag of roughy slowly rott in the
    sun (the fish factory could only process 10 ton a watch 7hrs)
    they were still processing when the fish was falling Apart, then
    they just pushed the remainder over the back.
    was cool watching great white sharks taking seals that follow
    boat around though

    with the boat going up and down...I can only imagine the smell....mate, you must have an iron constiution.
    I went on a few commercial fishing runs in Tassie and had touble keeping it all down.
    The boys down there weren't adverse to loosing a few .22 rounds at the following seals either.
    (yeah - i know they are protected, but when you're on a smallish shark cat with nothing else in it but a steering wheel and fishing gear - a 1/2 a mile off the wild cliff walled Port Arthur coast - and the good ol' boy of a capt'n pulls out a .22 and starts lettin' rip - 'hey mate - that's not right! - didn't quite seem.....prudent.)

    It was ruined a long time before any of us today had a chance to have a say in it.
    When the Poms decided it was a good idea to dump their radio active waste into the north sea during the 50-60s any say we did have was taken from us.
    All the conservation in the world won't change what's already done,an whats been done can't be undone by any amount of protesting by greenpeace or anybody else.
    including old gits like you, that don't give a shit. :spudwave:

    My name is Gavin. I'm a 21 year old male who likes his parents, lives a different city to both of them and doesn't need to rebel against them.
    My political choice is slightly right wing, I choose to smoke pot occasionally with friends, my greenie brother doesn't touch it. I'm a mechanic, and I pay my greenpeace contribution and will hapilly fight for the choices either of my little brothers make.
    Edit: My hair is short and I'm usually clean shaven

    Have a heap of tails about this stuff may start a thread about it.
    and have seen some good jokes played on people as well..
    ie
    3000 hp shark (instant spool)
    floating containers
    P3 orion watch
    sticking people down frozen fish box runs
    (and getting them unstuck)
    getting people unstuck from frozen ladders
    lots more

    Greenpeace has been campaigning for greater rights for bikers, better road design to consider biker safety, lower taxes for bike users (in collaboration with Transport 2000) etc in Europe for over a decade. !!??

    No,I'll be dead by then and will therefore not give a fuck

    Nuclear is wrong. Five mile, cherynobyl, and just the potential for an enormous disaster - plus the global shit fight over waste - Wait for fission.
    Wees got fission,you mean fusion and it still creates irradiated waste
