    Should make it all the more likely that people could come, if they're like me and have stuff all to do / are heartily sick of work for the year. I'm very sorely tempted to throw a sickie - work is so boring. And I know my way around some of the roads in Hunua (my sisters live there).
    I'll let you know closer to the time....
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Careful, boy.

    Touchy subject.

    People like me get very pissed off at people like you. Or, at least, at people who say stuff like that in earnest.

    Hope you're trolling.

    I should have been more precise in my blurbing. Or burbling.

    I'm not actually 'sick of work' - I like work.
    I'm just tired of my job, and of being not busy enough. Or not being busy enough. Or like that there.
    Plus, the VifFerraRi spent the whole weekend in the gargre, so I need a (non-commuting type) ride.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Ah, well, that's all good, you're not one of the Bad People then. Swot the tax is there for, so's you and yours don't have to starve in the meantime. Good man, and best of luck with jobs.

    They only employ spotty halfwits in paint shops who have never lifted a brush.

    I have held my tounge many a time in paint shops when crap advice is dolled out by the above staff.

    I'm sorry everybody. After organising this ride I'm now not going to be able to come. I got bashed on the back of the head at work today. Spent 5 hours flat on my back at Middlemore with a c-collar on (going to be way more sympathetic towards any patients I fit one too from now on), and have an injury to C2 and C3, which they are 90% sure is just ligament damage. However this means that I will be wearing a neck brace for at least the next 10 days, so no riding for me. Oh yeah, and it means I can't do my full motorbike licence test which I'm booked in to do next week. Oh and I can't drive my car either because I can't turn my head from side to side. To say that I'm a tad upset would be a major understatement.

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.
