WB PT, pics are awesome!

but i sense a slightly cycnical undertone in some of those summaries (don't make me site examples). Makes me think some of y'all don't appreciate the diversity of a forum like this?

Hell, i think if half the people contributing didn't have this forum to vent on you'd be in an overly tight, slightly unfashionable outfit that makes it hard to scratch where it itches.

I'm also pretty sure the bs factor is like the property market in it's waxing / waning aspect.

So on behalf of all the dickheads, cocksuckers, idjits, wankers, nobends, dumb / arrogant bastards who've bothered to post - cheers! you've made my days more interesting.

In fact, cheers to everybody else....

TY Motoracer, and Goatfood, yes is was.... definitely very scenic....

Manuboy - I'm well and truly aware that the summaries are pithy, and will never do it justice.... But these summaries are a welcome feature for those of us who are away occasionally....They provide a useful function in informing, in a humourous way, the awayee of the proceedings in the absence of said awayee. While they may be a little cynical, isnt that supposed to be good for the constitution?

No worries, we'll have him back to 'prematurely disillusioned pedantic curmudgeon' in no time.

Most of the latest crop of "eedjits" are illiterate, so a "backfoot war" would be largely futile.

However a two-paragraph post appears to have them whacked as their attention span doesn't run to more than one sentence unless that first sentence contains the words "cop" or "wheelie".

The unfortunate price we appear to pay for school holidays. Sigh.

Diversity and entertainment is what makes our gargre a most enjoyable place to be! I am a staunch supporter of freedom of expression. However when this "expression" goes on and on and on and on and on and bloody on, and nowhere, and then gets personal, that's when my dander goes up.

The recent offensive on our brethren who are law enforcement officers is one particularly unsavoury example of what I consider repulsive inanity (note the tactic of starting a second paragraph? Let's see if it works...).

Things have got to a low ebb when I am driven to consider using the "ignore" facility.

I take your point. A lot of posts aren't worth the "screen estate". But that's the nature of the beast. Walk into a pub and eavesdrop on most conversations, they wouldn't stand publication on a forum such as this. A lot of people talk shite a lot of the time. And so on...

[2nd paragraph] I don't really mind too much what people do and say here. I say the test of their mettle is how they ride. I'll take one ride with anyone. If'n i don't wanna take a second ride with them they go on my ignore list...

And how come i got away with spelling cycnical like that hmmm? I'd like a stern reprimand forthwith!

Dont do it again, or the grammar police will bash your door down at 0400 in the morning and take you away for "re-education" :cool2:
