    Smile one of my

    embarrasing moments (yep I have too many too tell) - was out with a group of friends in a rental car, stopped at Turangi for a breather and when we got back found I had locked the keys in the car - duh!! Anyway we went and got a trusty coathanger from a shop and managed to get in the car (after an hour), returned the coathanger and drove down the road to a cafe where coffee was definitely needed for my nerves. Finished the coffee and oh shit, Id locked the keys in the car again. Walked back to the same shop where Id returned the coathanger feeling like a complete dick, and managed to open the car again - my friends were just pissing themselves with laughter - yep that's one trip Im not allowed to forget!! - and I do try.

    90tonnes of truck & overburden rolling along at 60kmh was an interesting experience, full lock slides around bends was cool though no power like slow power

    Ha had an FJ11 at the time so it was a bit of a truck to hustle (you'd know what i mean having had one aswell)

    makes the ZXR seem like a feather weight to get the mumbo act going

    Just read this and nearly lost my job.
    It's hard to stop laughing when you are meant to be working.

    Thank goodness my little experience did'nt get that bad.

I was thirsty so I drank some water out of the tap. I finished and thought that wasn't very clever. The next morning felt a bit yucky, got to the airport and boarded the plane. I had my meal then took a sleeping pill. Not long into a DEEP sleep I awoke feeling like I was going to explode. I needed to fart real bad so I checked the lady next to me was asleep. She was - cool. Slowly relaxed the old valve and... emptied my bowls in my pants. It wouldn't fucking stop either. Fuck the stench! I got around the lady next to me and walked to the shitter with warm poo running down my legs. Got into the toilet and contemplated staying there until the plane had landed... a good 7 hours to go. Decided I had to wash my pants. I did and got the attention of a stewardess, explained what had happened and that I needed my pants dried. All she came up with was a blanket which I wrapped around me and returned to my seat that someone had put a cover on. The lady that was beside me had gone. About half an hour later my bowl had a spasm so I ran to the toilet, half loosing the blanket on the way there. In my previous visit to the shitter my undies were past the point of no return so I had thrown them away. I eventually got my damp pants back and made sure I was the last person to leave the plane. While I was waiting in passport control and everybody was looking at me like I was a known paedophile, I had to make another mad rush to the toilet in the opposite direction. I was almost running, heard some yelling, looked behind me and security were running after me. I didn't stop and ran into the airport shitter. I was letting rip while two security guards were laughing their heads off.

    Yesterday on the phone I was asked by a senior colleague in wgtn what another colleague was like, I just blurted out “total introvert, he’s like a hermit & he’s real ol skool y’know, can only handle one thing at a time, a real plodder & pretty pedantic”.
    Then I turn around to see him standing there.

    Recently went to a dinner party in Howick & was introduced to a bunch of new people. We were all standing around the kitchen chatting and after a few beers I excused my self to use the boys room, when I looked down I realised my fly was hanging way open. & I thought it was my witty repertoire they were laughing about.

    Was sitting in the boardroom with a bunch of senior suits having a serious strategic planning session. I was busy staring out the window & fiddling with my laptop(as You do) when all of a sudden the cd player kicks in at full volume playing rage against the machine. It took me what seemed like an eternity to shut it up during which time senior management were subjected to a bunch of profanity & screaming. None of them looked too impressed except my techo mate & fellow rage fan, who was nearly under the table trying not to piss himself.

    Then there was the time I got shitfaced at a wedding reception on waiheke island.
    I was sitting next to the grooms family & swearing about how hard the almonds were when I suddenly realised that I was eating out of the bowl for the olive pips.
    ..it's another red light nightmare..

    My first real play on a dirtbike, an RMX250, out at Kai Iwi beach in Wangas with every single one of my mates, Queens birthday weekend, so the beach is packed, pearler of a day.

    Pretty wee waif of a girl wants to go for a ride on the motorbike, so, no worries. She gives me the old, go easy, its my first time routine.

    Still on my learners, my ride is an FXR150, and of course, I am just the most experienced rider in the world.

    I jump on this 2 stroke beast of doom, give it heaps, and slip the clutch a bit much. Front wheel sticks straight up in the air, and we were sooo past the balance point, somehow reflexes kick in and ease off the throttle, and kick my feet forward. Front wheel slowly arches down, just in time to avoid the bollard that stops cars driving onto the beach.
    She swears at me, and hits me (Yet I'm sure she secretly loved it?!) and I'm sweating, wondering if anyone noticed that it was a fluke...

    So then when she gets off, I figure, I might as well get some practice at this.
    Cue first gear wheelies, basically tight turn, do a wheelie, 180 degrees, tight, do a wheelie, 180 degrees, just a little too tight, rear tyre loses it, and I'm down, exhaust burn on inner thigh, and still have to pretend to be hard.
    Maybe 250 people down on that part of the reserve. Every single one of them laughs.

    Oh the shame!!
    Boyd hh er Suzuki are my heroes!
    The best deals, all the time!

    My most embarassing time was 1985-1997.

    (more embarassing for those around me rather than myself - I just feel guilty)

    Was operating out of Medan in 2003 flying into destinations in Acheh which was a bit insecure at the time and the Indonesians assigned us each a military guard (M16 and all) who was never to leave our side when we were on the ground. Mine was a surley chap who did his job well rarely speaking. A dodgey Ayam Bakar left my bowells absolutely shot and I remember looking at the heels of his boots, next to the butt of his rifle (shuffling L-R-L-R) under a toilet door while he stood guard outside as I let rip with some of the worst possible sound and smells known to mankind. I was absolutely appalled and embarrased at what I had done and tried to warn him but he unflinchingly endured the lot and did his job to perfection.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    trying to catch an escaping 19 inc rack mount cabnet
    we unloaded the cabnet off a truck with the drivers help
    driver: you have to sign for it
    me: OK
    signed the paper turned round the bloody thing had gone!
    I was like what the f**k
    then i see it gaining speed down symonds st
    and give chase in bloody peak hour traffic
    bloody thing was really moving and making a hell of a racket too,
    Every office worker and student stairing the thing and me giving chase
    never caught it, but it stopped when it hit the parked car
    retrived the thing witch is now bent as was the car
    pushed it back up the road
    only to find the truck driver and my workmate pissing themselves!!
    when they finally stop laughing the trucky says well ill help you get it in the lift
    we go to push it in the lift and one of the wheels falls off!!
    This sets them off again.
    My boss comes in why is there a rack in the lobby?
    at this point every one in the office knows why its there
    and mass laughter breaks out
    the art of diplomacy is saying nice doggie,
    until you find a big rock
