I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

*I have learned what a Pom is, and that it used to be a derogatory term, but is now acceptable terminology for SOME of the Queen's northern hemisphere Subjects.  


Sorry, I failed to take into account that Aussies did not fully disown the Monarchy, I find that troubling, what part of the Monarchy do y'all find valuable?  (How is this for thread drift... ::))

Sometimes a personality here just wants to be responded too.  so they post in a way that is sure to illicit a response.

It's all good.

Why don't you two step on over to the bar (SSDB) and I'll buy yous a drink...... 8)

when it really comes down to it, whether they were points or electronic, bikes or cars, the majority of my ignition problems were either battery or switch related....
