98 RON

My bike knows full well it has low octane fuel and it sounds a warning alert
for the rider.
Sort of a "pink" "pink" sound.

 

"Support group"?? There's a fukkin' support group?!!?
Thanks for nothin' bastards!!

 

The manual I bought only went up to 1996 so I wasn't quite sure what volume
and viscosity of fork-oil to use for the '98 Sprint Sport. I asked the local
Trump dealer and it was lucky I did 'cause it used the specs of the long
discontinued 750 Daytona; not any of the other Trumps of it's era.
It required 5W oil but the bloke behind the counter said " but seeing as
your bike is soooo old I'd use 10W....."
Old??
But it's my new bike!! It's not even 10yo yet and it's only got 30,000 km
on it!!
Hell; my previous bike was nudging 220,000 when I bought it and the one
before it was on 150,000 (and they were both fine!).

 

He got the sulks when we told him he shouldn't post snuff videos without a
warning header.

You can't please everyone.....

 

Bloody is when I'm involved

He used to work for the WA Police Force, but some bureaucrat changed the
name to WA Police Service, the coppers don't like that so now call
themselves the WA Police.

You could have shut up and ignored it.

We have a ultra apostrophe nazi in our building. He puts signs up near his
desk advising on apostrophe use.

 

Is he an union member?

Nev..
'07 XB12X

 

What? Teacher's union? Nah, he's a web designer, and he no longer harrasses
me about it. Well, not on paydays anyway.

Theo
Cheque-signer.

 

Bob the angry flower's marvellous poster on apostrophe usage ? I have
that up at my desk.

 

lol!

 

BWAHAHA, not a chance!

betty

 

[congratulates self on resisting]

 

Yeah but it only has the obvious ones; not that weird-arse
no-apostrophe-on-a-possessive-pronoun one that's always causing the trouble!

 

You mean like "the Jones' car ?" or the more archaic "the Jones'es car"?


I'sn't it plural's that are cau'sing the problem's that mean you have to
buy DVD's and CD's and tomato's ? Tho'se damned thing's make you think
an apo'strophe is actually a preface to the letter "'s" ..

 

No I'm talking about it's, her's. your's and their's. (and maybe his's!!)
Mainly it's though.

 

As Bob says :

Well there's no such animal there. That's the beauty of Bob, he covers
all the options excluding the simplest one, contractions. If you're
talking about "that cat of hers" - etc there's no need for the
possessive apostrophe dooverlacky. I can't think of any instance where
you'd use those first 4 words with an 's on the end.

It's can be a real prick.
You've got a contracted one which is of course apostrophied : it's green
/ it is green.

You've got the possessive one - the cat played with it's dinner.

Then the McPlural - the cats played with their dinner.

 

BZZT; that the one I'm talking about!! ^^^^^^^^
Betty (and the apos-trophy-hunters will jump on you for that one but where's
fucking Buttercup-Bob when you need some guidance?!!?(and I like the way you snip out where I SPECIFICALLY said it was about
POSSESSIVE pronouns and then deliver all this irrelevant palaver about
contractions!)
