Nah - you won't like it at all, Juan.

You may as well just send the MVs over here for the KBers to look after for you.

Don't worry Slim - I used to be indecisive, now I'm not too sure.

Here's a true story for you - When I was in my teens I hung out with a guy whose father was very wealthy and lived in Windsor, a posh part of England just outside London. His younger sister was invited to a birthday party at Billy Connelly's house when he had a home in Windsor. So my mate and I took his sister to the party. Billy wasn't in but his beautiful wife Pamela Stephenson answered the door. :love2:

Coool... my latest brush wif fame was 3 weeks ago.. when I set up a karaoke unit for a party and had to demostrate its use to "Toni" from shortland street.

If BC tour of NZ had been on yet, I definately would have noticed! (i read the TV guide weekly when I have no books)

Appreciate the compliment dude - but please, fame and Shortland Street in the same sentence and drawing a comparison between Tony (whoever the fook he is) and the Big Yin himself. Gimme a break. :eyepoke:

So will you let us all know when you see it advertised? (for those of us who can never find the TV Guide)

A TV Guide (http://xtramsn.co.nz/entertainment/0,,8142,00.html) for those who can find one

Yay! The series finally started playing on TV1 last night - only saw it when channel surfing- luckily it had just begun so didn't miss much.

What was with the no helmet thing?? Trikes don't need it or just Billy being a rebel? Southland roads look boring - all straight & no traffic to dodge.

I guess he got some special dispensation?:spudwhat:
I noticed when he was riding around in Australia (also helmetless) he had a police car just behind him, so it was obviously no big deal (or he'd had it OK'd with the police). And on last night's episode, when he was riding around Dunedin, I think I saw a cop bike in the lane to the left of him, and back a few car lengths.

BTW - the trike he used for his NZ tour was quite different to that which he used in Australia, so he must've hired them.

Uk And indeed Manx law says you don't need a lid on a trike, is it not the same in NZ??

**wari** · 14th February 2005, 10:25

OH Man .. howda heel didi miss that ... :spudwhat:

BUGGer ... :spudguita

He was wearing a helmet sometimes, just not in towns I think.

I liked the trike he had in Aus better.
