Today I are mostly taking my daughter for an interview at an equine college she has wanted to go to since she was 12. There are only about 25 places there, so it could be a bit tough. She is very cool about it all, whereas I am very nervous. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr Space in shed where NSR125 used to be Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005/6), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow), OMF#11
The "spirit of UKRM" which you're advocating would, by your definition mean that people can tell you that your posts are boring and tedious. Or are you saying that "chat about anything" only applies to things you reply or make? Whilst the pub analogy has some merit, I'm not sure it goes that far. It's like standing up in front of the whole pub and shouting at them with a megaphone (making a new post) rather than replying to a couple of blokes (which is much nearer replying in a thread).
A newsgroup, loosely based on bikes, where if you can't take the abuse then **** off? That's what the gist was in the FAQ when I subscribed. Post what you like. If you get the discussion you wanted then great, if you don't then either killfile the people you don't like or converse in a friendly group. That's the spirit of UKRM AFAIK.
dwb said... No, it was a feeble attempt at a put down of Bear and myself, which only served to make him look an even sadder **** than usual.
Considering you told me I was up myself and therefore I should obviously take great offence, does that mean I'm now having to default into being in the Rope(y) clique? Damn.
I read a one-pager earlier from the business that basically said: "What do we want? Everything. When do we want it? Now."

is it carbon[1]-neutral? [1] it can't be only me that sees the red mist when reading the phrase "carbon neutral". It's carbon-dioxide, motherfuckers!
Well, was a good day, she's been offered a conditional [1] place for a 2 year course.

On Fri, 10 Mar 2006 16:27:13 -0000, "Dan L" <> said Congrats. I occasionally go riding with a lass who is in her first year of BHSI (or whatever they call it) and thoroughly enjoying it. Just as well, as I was the one who encouraged her to quit 6th Form and do something she would actually enjoy...
Cheers, she is really quite pleased with herself. Course sounds like bloody hard work to me, and in all weathers, but that doesn't seem to bother her. Getting the bus from Bicester to Witney every day is going to be fun mind. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr Space in shed where NSR125 used to be Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005/6), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow), OMF#11
It's been said before, but I think it's worth saying again. How come an average teenage girl (steady, boys!) can barely be persuaded to tidy their bedroom even at gunpoint, yet can also be more than happy to spend all their leisure time shovelling horseshit?
