In retrospect, the car may have been more comfortable...

    I suspect it's an animal product, possibly made from Rottweilers.

    I've never gone for the one-piece thing. Pants are much easier to put on by
    the side of the road when the sky opens, and take less space. The Dri-riders
    are very good at about $75-$90. Don't buy plastic.
    There's no such thing as waterproof boots, unless you want to wear Wellies.

    Now that can be a real problem with a one-piece. Especially for the ladies.

    So when it rains, you stop on the side of the freeway, disrobe to your skin,
    and put on the wetsuit? Is that legal?

  5. The validity of that statement is entirely dependent on which side of the
    boot surface the water lies.

    Discovered through joyous experience, Blundstones are completely waterproof
    from the inside - get water in 'em, and it'll stay there seemingly forever
    without leaking out.

  6. Not to mention the spectacle one would create when disrobing by the side of
    the road to don said wet suit.

  7. I'm cursed. Sold my car on the weekend and don't get my new one until
    tomorrow. So I am borrowing a female friends blinged up civic which I look
    like a total fag in. So when I saw sun today I was wrapped I could take the
    bike to work. Got to work and it started pissing rain. At lunch it eased off
    a tad so I rode home and swapped for the car before it got worse. Now I am
    sitting at my desk still wet from the ride and the sun is out again.
    Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Speaking of pet hates I was going to take (a very small amount of) umbrage
    at the use of the word 'wrapped' when the correct word for this is 'rapt'. I
    was just a little stunned to see the Macquarie dictionary says both are
    correct usage. Shows that if enough people misuse the langauge the misuse
    becomes the correct usage. I suppose in five years 'rapt' will be wrong.
    Aaaarrrggghhhh!

    There is also a fold up cardboard version about as well. I found a heap of
    pages while looking for that link for you that describes a technique that
    describes how it is possible for women to go while standing up without
    making a mess or the need of any devices. It does require the woman to
    touch herself but I'm sure you are not surprised to hear that most guys
    have to hold on while going otherwise they have a mess to deal with as
    well.
    Imagine the paper that could be saved!

    :p

    Similar devices have been around for a long time. I became aware of them
    around '82.

  19. Sure. Blue skies. Then rain. Then blue skies and more rain. Followed by
    grey skies and 9 months of rain.

    Don't push it Fraser. Perth gets more rain than Melbourne. It's just that in
    Perth it (a) mostly rains at night and (b) doesn't rain in summer. But when
    it rains in Perth, it rains, and no leather jacket or boots are rainproof in
    Perth when it's raining.
