OT & FS Renault Megane 02 reg

One could say they're largely a bike equivalent of the Renault
Megane....

 

I wouldn't say they were THAT bad... or were you judging them purely
on the strength of the type that tends to own either?

 

The only folks capable of properly assessing a GS500 are those under 5'8"
as they are one of the few bikes out there which can take you to
imprisonable speeds that shortarses can bring to a complete halt with
confidence on a cambered surface. Which attribute alone makes them god's
gift to motorcycling and anyone who says different is not just a **** but
a lanky deformed one.

 

Post corrected.

 

he's not allowed a BP high enough to achieve an erection.

 

Oi. My mum's last car was a Megane[1]. It was almost as good as her Maxi I
passed my test in.

[1] a 1998 variant still going strong having been passed down from my
sister to her son to my other sister.

 

I'd have thought you want to build up to do at least 5 or 6 miles
easily before you get back to work, otherwise you're never going to
get fit enough to do so again.

Anyhow, if you're that bored here's a few random ideas to get you
started:

Learn a language
Read a book
Go buy some music in a proper record shop, and spend an afternoon
immersed in nostalgia.
Paint a picture
Plan a holiday
Write a letter to someone you've not had time to keep in touch with.
Strike up conversation with a random stranger.
Check your savings and inestments are earning the best rates they can,
if not sort out moving them.
Clean out some cupboards and throw away the years of accumulated crap.
Clean your bikes.
Learn to juggle
Buy a bicycle, and get some gentle exercise.
Go and get a new suit.
Experiment with cooking something you've never tried.
Get a haircut
Start a pointless argument on the Internet

 

I learnt to ride on one. They're shit compared to the SV650.

 

Can't push too hard until I start the rehabilitation classes.

I'm crap at that. Been there, tried it, failed badly.

Done, several times over now.

That involves going to..... Cardiff. *shudder*

Done and booked.

That's what Facebook is for.

Around here? - I'd have more luck with the sheep.

Looked at that and found out I could make about 50p a year if I cocked
about with 'em. Unless I want a risky investment, which I don't.

Done some of that.

They're miles away and I can't ride 'em down here.

Got one, doing that.

I have 2 nice suits that have been worn about twice each.

Do that at least once a week.

Did that on Saturday. No. 1 all over. Again.

This one appeals, though.

 

I tried that, all I got was me face slapped.

 

Little bean bags.

When I worked for Sun there was another instructor who had a thing about
people learning to juggle as an exercise in learning techniques. I spent
a week with him in Dallas on an company bash and nearly managed to learn
to juggle. Basically every time during the week that his itinerary and
mine brought us together he would find 5 minutes and a space and make me
juggle. Yes, even during the final presentation speech bit when half the
people present were in Armani suits and had a job title to aspire to. The
little bean bags were great because they didn't roll away anywhere when
you dropped them.

 

To Ginge's list I would add learn to play a musical instrument. SWMBO
learned to play the guitar years ago whilst in plaster (a leg obviously)
having been knocked off her Honda 125 twin.

For me it would probably be a learning a new programming language, or
designing a shite web site - but I'm just weird.

Same here, & I've come to the conclusion I'll run out of disk space
long before I make time to watch it all.

 

I don't think I could ever be truly bored as long as Google Earth
exists. Which I suppose means I'm weird too (but not as weird as you
obviously).

 

It could just be that he's got good enough taste to realise that all
the programs on your list are shit.

 

Heh. Anyone who says all of those are shit is *obviously* trolling.

 

One of my mates had a whole bunch of prepared "lines" to use, ranging
from the fairly robust to hilariously corny. Yes, he'd get his face
slapped and on a few memorable occasions his bollocks bruised, but he'd
persist with different victims (operating in a target rich environment)
and inevitably he'd acquire a companion for the night.

 

As overheard (from a female to a male) recently:

"What's the difference between Jam and Jelly...?"

<comedy pause>

"...You can't Jelly your cock into my mouth."

 

Or just doesn't like shit American TV. Are you suggesting that in fact
I don't think they;re shit and am only saying so for effect? If so,
you're sadly mistaken.

 

Srsly? OK you may not like any of them, but by no measure are they
'shit'.
