Sounds like a cheap cop out excuse to me.

Farting in the lift is a fantastic pastime!! Either letting go quietly and glaring at one person in particular (for a crowded lift) or leaving an aura for others to find....
Yes I am evil Buahahahaha!!!!

It has alot to with bikers - we fart.

It is an art form I guess, but I'm no Michaelangelo yet. I start laughing too soon, and it blows the whole charade.

No, I'm way too good for that! It's the strange looks that I get when I'm sitting at my desk and the chuckle starts to get bigger and tears are rolling down my cheeks. I left the lift and went to get back a couple of minutes later and the GM stepped out with his hand over his face - I took the stairs!

When I was on Waiheke Island,a local who was once 'Young Farmer of the Year',a Counciler,and at the same time a thorn in the side of the Council - would do burn offs without contacting Council or fire Brigade...his stand was even if he told the Fire Brigade some do gooder would hit the alarm soon as they saw smoke and they would have to do a call out anyway.He was right really - the only danger was that he'd clear more of his infested useless farm than he intended....and thereby opening up more land for us to ride our bikes on....

Strangely enough, she said she knew there was a ban, but her partner said he didn't, so that was the reason for a warning only.
She also said it was just a little fire and they knew what they were doing.
Good old socialists, do as I say not as I do.

Were they standing downwind?

It’s nothing personal, just double standards.

Exactly. Y'should all do as I say. The Greens are certainly not socialists, so you don't have to do as they say. But I'm a communist, so you should do as I say. Now, about all your bikes.......

Greens were Values Party, who had a lot of Communist Party members cross over. ( I think)
That would make them political cousins to you.

"Greens" - also known as "Watermelons".

Why? Because they are green on the outside but red on the inside. Commies through and through I'm afriad, they have just been cleverly disguised.

Any political party that stands up to the establishments values are labeled as communististic.

The Greens have never advocated the redistrabution of wealth, or argued that the conditions of the modern industrial society result in the alienation of the worker from their own labour as Marx has done in his Economic and Political Manuscripts of 1844.

The Greens Political manifesto is one of production that is the least harmfull to the environment. When you consider the harm that the communist countries have done to their their own environment and compare that with Green philosphy any comparison between the two is just political nonsense.

C'mon Spud. Ya let the team down this time.
