Yeah I might know you. Yes you may be a pom. But don't think you're a git. So my original statment stands. Don't know any POMMIE GITS...

update.

A fews calls to the UK this evening and it looks like we have a compromise.

UK guy understands that its a biking trip - He's still coming but has agreed that he will only be meeting us a few nights in various locations. He's not following etc etc and has no expectation to do so.

He understands that he has caused a few problems and feels like a dick. He offered to pay a fine of 6 bottles of bourbon (the duty free allowance for the pair of them) - on the understanding that they will all be drunk before the end of the trip.

Mate and I had a few beers this evening - cleared the air, had more beers and now its a closed issue (the joys of being a bloke - women hold grudges).

Its still not 100% ideal - but fuck it - We are looking on the bright side and making the most of it.

To err is human, to forgive is devine, it will all work out OK in the end!

So we still might see you in South somewhere.

Enjoy! Cheers, John.

Good stuff mate. Looking forward to seeing you on the 9th.

Sounds like a good compromise too. And who knows, he might turn out to be ok anyway. And if the son is old enough to have a tax-free allowance he might turn out to be mightily entertaining after half a bottle of bourbon.

Just make sure he gets an MX-5 with a towbar so you have a recovery vehicle if shit happens.

Meh - it was the whole 'vibe' of the trip we were planning. But to be honest, we have a compromise and now - Im just looking at the positives and focusing on having a good 'ol time.

**The Pastor** · 23rd February 2009, 22:36

the more mates you have the better, and by the sounds of the 6 bottles of burbon he seems like an ok bloke (even if he is brittish)

Now get on to ADVrider and some mainland 4wd clubs for those extra special off the beaten track experiences. Not talking about the Molesworth here.

Make the MX5 dude really appeciate what NZ has to offer. They might get a night in the bush out of it.

**Fatjim** · 24th February 2009, 08:24

Good to hear its sorted. I think you may still really enjoy your holiday. And get him to bring Tequila instead.

**MSTRS:Me** · 24th February 2009, 08:33

Good to hear that your trip is on (again).

Just stick to your guns, if this Pommie git tries to influence anymore.

Excellent making of an indecision!

Fuck that shit! You've now got the opportunity to crush his skull while he sleeps and bury him in a shallow grave.

And that, (sorry ladies) is why its so good being a bloke................

probably the very phrase used by Custer when all those injuns started comming over the hills, or the Capt of the Titanic saw all that ice on the deck, or the..... well you get it, best of a any situation. Have a really good holiday bloke.

He sounds like a bit of a tosser, all right! I'd ignore him for the whole trip - except when he's grovelling and offering alcohol!

Mind you, watch out he doesn't arrive with his wife and her mates too...
