IIRC Lorenzo can take second place in the championship from Rossi, Pedro can't now.

I thought he was talking about next season more than the current one.

Jack Miller's parents came to Australia from Hawkes Bay in New Zealand in 1988:

There was discussion on Twitter some months ago by Smith and Laverty about how they are treated by airline staff. Young guys in hoodies and shorts , who may look as if they've lost their razor, frequently get questioned as to their right to be in the club lounge.

Alex Briggs who has a couple of decades on the young blokes experiences this several times a year as well. His latest:
"This is the business class check in."
"I am travelling business class."
"You don't look like a business class passenger"
"What does a (expletive optional) business class passenger look like?"

He said it happened to Mick Doohan once when Doohan could probably have afforded to buy the aeroplane.

Anyhoo the whole circus is underway again for the last time this year...

...I helped deliver a classic boat to its new owner, Akaroa to Auckland...the skipper was a racist cunt, as it transpired...we arrived at Westhaven and a short, nearly afro hairstyled maori bloke took the stern line, tied her off and jumped on board...the cunt at the wheel yelled out...'oi you ya black cunt, get off my boat...it was the the new owner, the deal fell through...I larfed and larfed, then went and got on the piss with the 'black cunt'...

If I am looking scruffy, I've got problem with people treating me differently. So long as there is respect.

Not looking like 99% of business class customers, you're gonna get questioned.

Apparently a few business class clients and airport staff in oz got a bit shitty.

The fly in fly out mining workers were making use of their air points etc to upgrade and would rock up to the lounge in all their gear after work and then go use the fancy facilities to scrub up before boarding.

If the workers are paying the ticket price then everyone else can suck it.

If they think they are special they could always fly in the suites class:

Used to deliver the booze to the Akld airport lounges, there was no rear entrance for ansett or anz although anz eventually did suss something out via kitchen.
It was a sad day when ansett went tits up, generally the customers were normal and the hostess babes running the show ere fun and relaxed types.
By comparison wheeling a trolley of booze through koro club was like interrupting a funeral, lots of snobby looks...

Anyone who judges like that, always ends up their loss, some great stories above A toast to jandal wearing in public too

Nothing from his twin yet (BS).
jeeze I hope he flops next year.

[GD66]

Come on, Gaz. Clearly the windy conditions weren't affecting any other riders.



I don't so much hope he flops next year, as expect him to. There's a widening gulf between expectation and reality there that his constant bullshitting isn't closing.
Surprised even myself when I burst into loud laughter when I saw him standing forlornly in the gravel trap on the last lap of Phillip Island, saying, "What was the delay?"

I've gotta be more supportive...
