Chimay and ukrm feckwits (longish)

Only an hour? You must be losing your accent.

 

So, ...um..., you're volunteering?

It wasn't that they weren't working, they were in fact working fulltime. A
hefty boot to the brake pedal fixed its wagon.

Only 'iggins knows...

 

Good work, Bond.

'enry 'iggins?

I'll need a corpse for the driving. If I sit on the pillion and hold it by
the throat, then I'm in a good position to hurl it overboard and take
control if things start to go awry.

 

I was fucking incoherent by the time I'd had my teeth knocked out.

 

Ogri did it, so it must be possible Anyone remember the cartoon
way-back-when where he lashed a dummy to the seat of the bike, and
controlled the outfit from the (enclosed) sidecar, so as to get home nice
and dry? One of the funniest Ogris ever, IMHO, especially as it involved
police who attempted to arrest the 'rider'...

 

What exactly is "Cyberspace" to you then.

See, I just regard usenet as a text based medium, which to all intents
and purposes is just like hitting "send to all" on an email.

Cyberspace to me seems like a stupidly wooly concept for people who want
to pretend the internet is a place, rather than just a jumble of wires
and electronic gubbins, linking millions of computers.

 

And whipped out his Astroglide?

 

You still haven't grasped one essential point - it's still
communication. And more than that - it's the only way most people on
UKRM will every know anything of you. And (human beings being what they
are) when they read you being an arse they will naturally jump to the
conclusion that you are in fact, an arse.

Has anyone threated to hit you? From what I've seen it's just the
opposite.. The only one who seems to think you will get hit is you.

Phil.

 

Pillock. Didn't you think that a 5 y/o battery may give you problems?

 

No. I've never owned a 5 year old bike before, and have never had
problems with batteries in cars I've owned 5 years.

 

This battery big, has big life, this battery small, life not so big.

Five years is the rough rule of thumb lifespan for a medium sized car
battery. Bikes are proportionally less.

Having said that I've had over 6 out of a secondhand Guzzi battery, now
at 4 years on a 6v MZ one and "this battery has Swedish writing on it" on
a 15 year old SAAB.

It really depends on usage and maintenance.

 

Paul Sample, isn't he hilarious.

 

I give up. I'll put it in small words in the hope it will get through:

Usenet is part of real life.

There - simple enough?

Phil.

 

Lurkers are fucking weird, one step down from stalkers. It's just a nice
way of saying "ASCII voyeur". It's like having people turn up at a club
meeting and refuse to introduce themselves or talk to any of the
members, but happily sit there and eavesdrop on every single word.

Fucking weird. Probably mostly paedos too.

 

Bullcrap.
Some of us only speak up when we have something worthwhile to say.

Riding the LE all the way from Zummerzet to Chimay was not on my agenda
and Chimay seems to be the only topic at the moment apart from ocasional
worship of japcrap.

 

You're such a blinkered mong.

Chimay was not only an enjoyable real life social motor-cycling event it
was watching primarily 40s, 50s, 60s and early 70s racing machinery -
that is British and Italian.

It has to be said though, the 60s Hondas that were there kept winning.

 

The people I met last weekend were real enough and all of them (except my
mate Graham who also came) I met through Usenet.
