    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    For a living - I'd like to be 'independently wealthy' and not need to have to work for a living.

    HOWEVER - I would like to be in that position so I could dedicate myself to working full-time for a cause where I could make a difference for people.

    There is no comfort to be found in a mammogram sir...well not unless you have an xray machine in the tip of your tongue anyway! Imagine putting your nuts in a vice - that's pretty much what it's like

    Oh for sure!!! ONLY the highly educated get into arse

    Me? I had designs on being Wonder Woman and then Shera Princess of Power and then I wanted to be Gem cos she is truly truly truly outrageous!

    And then when I grew up some more I wanted to be a vet or animal handler. AND then when I got all slutty as a teenager and one of the ex students came to visit in her mercedes I wanted to be just like her...a high priced hooker. NOW I just want to sleep in again some time Cos I do love my job and what I do.

    Chuck one in here for a mate (a few of us having a couple of quiets).A bike journo so when not working he could chuckle away knowing people were stupid enough to go shelling out hard earned based on nothing but his opinion which amazingly enough they took as gospel because someone put it in a magazine,or as Jamie just said "i wannabie as resilient as one of the many late model Ducati riders that turn up at rallys still full of shit after being shown the way home through the good bits on jappas 10 years older".Last year at the Magpie such a thing briefly shared our leaner at the bar,he got to the character point as they do i said "you mean bevel drive" he said "na mate Ducati".Sad really.

    Used to do some of that stuff. The thing is that you have to actually know what you are on about, as if not, then U soon be found out. And then U in the dole cue.

    No doubt but surely at the end of the day its nothing but opinion based upon nothing but the writers own experiance....go figure,it cant be anything else.Never once have i read a bike test that said "no matter my opinion is purely that,i cant ride the thing but put someone onboard that can ride and no doubt this thing rocks i just dont have the ability to do it".Imagine the response from helmet providers "err can you send that back it doesnt suit our image,or at least remove the tinted visor".

    Assuming you're not taking the piss...... (now why did that thought occur I wonder?)...I'm with this sentiment.

    And, seeing as this recession is a good time to reflect on my life, I'm actually considering joining the plods. Procrastination may yet win out, but the navel gazing review is going well so far.

    Decided years ago if I won Lotto I'd become a postie.

    Reasonably "important" job but really not so big on the stress.

    Enforced physical exercise.

    And would leave me plenty of time to do other stuff, that wasn't work related.

    (If a job was "fun" it wouldn't have to pay you.)
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
